IPHONE Tips

Camera in Control Center: Access your camera quickly by swiping up from any screen — including the Lock screen — and tapping the Camera icon.

Panorama: You can easily shoot panorama photos from left to right or right to left. Just tap the arrow to switch the direction.

Burst mode: Capture multiple shots of the action — for as long as you hold down the button — by snapping 10 photos per second. And real-time analysis suggests the best photos of the bunch.

Photo filter: Apply one of eight live photo filters to any picture. Just choose a filter to see the effect before you take the shot, or apply it later.

Mapped pictures: View the locations of your pictures on a map by tapping the location heading under Years, Collections, or Moments.

Change the way Siri pronounces a name: If Siri mispronounces a name; simply say “that’s not how you pronounce that.” Siri will ask you for the correct pronunciation, and then say the name back to you three different ways so you can choose the one you like.

Edit radio stations: Adding and deleting stations is easy. Tap Edit and select the + button to add a new station. To remove a station, swipe left on the station name and tap Delete. Or remove multiple stations at once by tapping Edit and the - button next to each station.

Create web clips: Quickly visit your favorite websites by creating web clips for them on your Home screen. Visit the site and tap the Share button. Then select “Add to Home Screen.”

Get flashing alerts: Your iPhone can give you a visual alert for incoming calls and texts. Just go to Settings > General > Accessibility and turn on LED Flash for Alerts.

Let your iPhone do the typing: Dictation lets you talk where you would type. Tap the microphone button on the bottom row of the keyboard, say what you want to write, and your iPhone converts your words into text.

View closed captions: To turn on the captions in closed-captioned movies and TV shows, just go to Settings > General > Accessibility. You can even customize captions by size, font type, and color.

Merge left and right audio: Play left- and right-channel audio in both ears to accommodate hearing loss on either side. Just go to Settings > General > Accessibility and turn on Mono Audio.
