10 AMAZING things your iPhone can do RIGHT NOW

Summary of the iPhone tips (“10 amazing things”)

1. Annotate a webpage in Safari and share it

   • From a Safari article, tap Share → View More → Markup to add notes (pens/highlighter).
   • To share the marked-up result, use this workaround:
     • Tap ellipsis (top-right) → Done → Save to Files
     • Then swipe down to close the Files integration, returning to the marked PDF so the Share button appears.
   • Share the annotated PDF normally.

2. Manage app notifications directly from Notification Center

   • In Notification Center, swipe right-to-left on an app notification.
   • Options include:
     • Mute notifications (e.g., for 1 hour / for the rest of the day)
     • Add to Notification Summary
     • View settings
     • Turn off the app’s notifications completely

3. Find favorited songs and favorited albums in Apple Music

   • Favoriting a song adds it to the Favorite Songs playlist.
   • Favorited albums are less obvious:
     • Go to Library → Albums → Filter → Favorites to view only favorited albums.
   • Similar filtering works for playlists.

4. Training platform promotion (iPhone Essentials Plus)

   • Described as a structured learning tool with:
     • 250+ lessons
     • Each lesson includes a short video, step-by-step guide with screenshots, and a downloadable PDF
   • Features include search, module-based learning, a one-time purchase (no ongoing subscription), and future updates included.
   • Examples mentioned: an iPhone battery course and ad/sponsor-free versions of videos.
   • Note: promotional content, not a feature tutorial.

5. Use Calculator history to restore previous calculations

   • Open Calculator and tap the clock icon (upper-left) to view history.
   • Long-press items to:
     • Copy expression or copy result
     • Delete history entries
   • Tap values to insert them back into the calculator.

6. Create a one-tap Home Screen shortcut to call (or FaceTime) a person

   • Use the Shortcuts app:
     • Create a new shortcut (+)
     • Search for “phone” (or FaceTime) → choose Call
     • Select a specific contact
   • Customize:
     • Rename
     • Add to Home Screen
     • Choose a photo for the button tile
   • Result: one-tap calling directly from the Home Screen.

7. Show Wi‑Fi password in large readable text

   • Works when the Wi‑Fi password is saved on the device.
   • Steps:
     • Open the Passwords app → Wi‑Fi → select network
     • Long-press the password → Show in Large Type
   • iPhone uses different colors for uppercase/lowercase, numbers, and symbols to help input correctly.

8. Create a Reminders item from selected email text

   • In the Mail app, select text in an email.
   • Use the quick menu: tap Share → choose Reminders.
   • The reminder includes the selected text and a link back to the email.
   • Save/confirm with the blue tick.

9. Create text hyperlinks on iPhone via paste

   • Copy a URL from Safari:
     • Tap the address bar → tap URL → Copy
   • In another app (example: Notes), select the text you want to link and paste the URL.
   • The selected text turns into a clickable hyperlink.

10. Get flight status natively with Spotlight (and reverse image search alternatives)

    • Flight lookup
      • Open Spotlight and type a flight number
      • Spotlight often shows flight status immediately; tapping reveals more details (sometimes including a baggage claim carousel)
    • Reverse image search
      • With Apple Intelligence: screenshot → in preview tap the search button
      • Without Apple Intelligence: install the Google app, then use Share on a screenshot and choose Search with Google Lens
