The features found on the iPhone can be useful in ways that you may never have considered before. <\/span>Although some of the hidden tricks of the iPhone <\/span>come<\/span> from the most recent version of iOS (19), they can help you save time <\/span>as well as provide a lot of<\/span> conveniences for <\/span>users who are<\/span> both busy professionals and casual users.<\/span><\/p>\n From navigating traffic in Delhi to drafting long-form posts on fintech blogs or managing your MSME finances <\/span>while out and about<\/span>, these lesser-known features will make life easier for users in many different ways. <\/span>In a place like Delhi, where every minute counts (imagine trying to avoid auto-rickshaws or converting USD to INR <\/span>quickly<\/span> for an international client), these tricks can help you turn <\/span>possible<\/span> inconveniences into seamless victories.<\/span> Each category will include detailed, step-by-step instructions and examples specific to India <\/span>to help<\/span> you get the most out of your iPhone.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Make your iPhone keyboard a precise trackpad for <\/span>editing with ease<\/span>. <\/span>Simply<\/span> hold the space bar in any text box or field, and the keyboard disappears.<\/span> Your finger now acts as a precise cursor, which <\/span>can be moved<\/span> precisely to a particular word or letter. This technique works wonderfully when correcting a misspelt word in a lengthy message or email. Think of editing a short message during a Delhi Metro ride without any problems. You can precisely move the cursor to a particular word in a matter of seconds, even during a bumpy ride. To use this technique, open the Notes or Messages app, start typing a message or a note, hold the space bar, and start typing again after tapping. Pro Tip: Try using the technique in conjunction with selecting <\/span>text<\/span> by tapping on a word and selecting it with two fingers.<\/span><\/p>\n Quickly select multiple items <\/span>anywhere<\/span>, <\/span>like<\/span> photos or emails, with a two-finger drag gesture.<\/span> Swipe down with two fingers to highlight bulk content, then lift to copy or delete in seconds\u2014perfect for cleaning up your photo library after a family event in Connaught Place without the usual hassle of tapping each one individually. <\/span>This<\/span> works across apps like Mail, Photos, and Notes, speeding up your workflow <\/span>dramatically<\/span>.<\/span> For instance, in the Photos app, enter Select mode, two-finger drag over 50 images from your Diwali album, and share them to WhatsApp <\/span>in one go<\/span>. <\/span>It’s<\/span> a game-changer for content creators archiving screenshots of fintech charts.<\/span><\/p>\n Oops! <\/span>No need to worry about physically shaking the device, <\/span>just<\/span> swipe left with three fingers on the keyboard for an undo option.<\/span> And by swiping right, <\/span>you\u2019ll<\/span> find the redo functionality\u2014this allows you to have a smooth workflow, while shaking your device <\/span>doesn\u2019t<\/span> work for everyone, especially if <\/span>you’re<\/span> on a crowded train or on a video call. <\/span>To enable this, go to Settings>Accessibility> Touch>Shake to Undo (if you do not want to use the <\/span>shake<\/span> to <\/span>undo<\/span> function, then turn it off).<\/span> When you accidentally erase a paragraph while brainstorming your latest piece on sustainable finance, <\/span>simply<\/span> swipe three fingers left, and it will be back\u2014uninterrupted.<\/span><\/p>\n You can also type faster one-handed by using the One-Handed Keyboard setting found at Settings> General> Keyboard.
