Little-Known iPhone Feature If You're Dealing With A Poor Cell Signal

Description

Business Insider has reported that there is a somewhat hidden feature in iOS called WiFi Calling, which lets you use WiFi to make and receive calls and text messages instead of relying on your carrier's cellular network. WiFi Calling is great when your iPhone is out of reach of your carrier's cell signal at home or at your workplace where you have access to WiFi, and it'll even work when you're connected to public WiFi hotspots, like at coffee shops. The feature isn't turned on by default, so you have to go into your iPhone's settings to turn it on. Go to Settings > Phone > WiFi Calling, and turn on the WiFi calling setting.

Apple Add A Safety Feature To Your iPhone In iOS 11

Apple added a new feature to iOS 11 that makes it easier to get help in an emergency. Called Emergency SOS, the feature turns your sleep/wake button into a panic button — and you should set it up now before you need it. It's quicker than manually unlocking your phone and dialing 9-1-1, and it's ideal for anyone who feels like they're in an unsafe situation, but don't want to attract attention.

This iOS 11 Feature Swiftly Disables Touch ID On The iPhone

iOS 11 public beta has been available since June, but there are still surprise features cropping up, including a newly spotted one that temporarily disables Touch ID. Unearthed by a Twitter user and confirmed by The Verge, the feature is activated when you rapidly press the power button five times. As a refresher, Touch ID works by scanning your fingerprint to unlock your iPhone or iPad. It's a quick way to access your device without typing in your personalized pin. However, there are times you may want to quickly and discretely disable Touch ID, and current methods take time. The most straightforward way up until this discovery was to turn off Touch ID in Settings, which requires multiple steps and looking at your device. Pertinent to all this is that Apple is expected to introduce facial recognition in the iPhone 8. So-called Face ID may replace or be in addition to Touch ID, so having a way to rapidly disable these unlocking measures with a few subtle taps could be a welcome security feature.

How To Use Apple's New 'Night Shift' Feature In iOS 9.3

Apple just released its biggest software update since iOS 9.0 rolled out last year. With it, Apple is making the highly anticipated Night Shift feature, which reduced the amount of blue light emitted by your display, available to everyone. Night Shift changes the color temperature of your display when it's dark outside. The later and darker it gets, the warmer the temperature. You can find the settings for Night Shift in the main settings app by heading to Settings —> Display & Brightness —> Night Shift. From there, you can control when you want the feature to kick in. You can also manually adjust the display's color temperature with a slider.
