Apple’s iPhone has always been synonymous with innovation, style, and utility. Whether you’re a tech-savvy individual or a newbie just delving into the world of smartphones, there are always new features to discover. Let’s dive into some handy iPhone tips and tricks that will help you make the most out of your device.
- How to back up an iPhone: Ensuring your iPhone’s data is safe should be a priority. Navigate to ‘Settings’ > [your name] > ‘iCloud’ > ‘Backup.’ Ensure iCloud Backup is turned on. Whenever your iPhone is connected to Wi-Fi, locked, and charging, it will automatically back up your data to the cloud.
- 6 Best Android Smartphones: While iPhones are hugely popular, Android devices have their strengths too. If you’re considering switching or having a secondary device, some of the best Android smartphones as of my last update in 2022 include the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra, Google Pixel 6 Pro, OnePlus 9 Pro, Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra, Oppo Find X3 Pro, and Sony Xperia 1 III. Each offers unique features that make them stand out in the crowded smartphone market.
- How To Connect AirPods: To pair your AirPods with your iPhone, open the AirPods case (with the AirPods inside) and bring it close to your iPhone. A setup animation will appear, tap ‘Connect’, and follow the on-screen instructions. It’s that simple!
- iPhone Lock HomeKit: Apple’s HomeKit allows you to control smart home devices directly from your iPhone. To lock a HomeKit-enabled smart lock, open the ‘Home’ app, locate your lock, and simply tap on it. If it’s unlocked, tapping will lock it, and vice-versa.
- See Missed Calls From Blocked Numbers On iPhone: Curious about who tried to reach you? Even if you’ve blocked a number, you can still check for missed calls. Go to ‘Phone’ > ‘Recents’ and scroll down. Missed calls from blocked numbers will be listed, but they won’t trigger any notifications.
- How to disconnect iPad from iPhone: To disconnect your iPad from your iPhone, you’ll want to turn off ‘Handoff’. On your iPhone, go to ‘Settings’ > ‘General’ > ‘Handoff’ and toggle it off. This prevents the devices from picking up where the other left off in apps like Mail, Safari, and others.
- How to Connect iPhone to Samsung TV: With a Samsung Smart TV, you can screen mirror your iPhone. Swipe down from the top-right corner of your iPhone (or swipe up from the bottom if you have an iPhone 8 or earlier) to access the Control Center. Tap ‘Screen Mirroring’ and select your Samsung TV from the list. Make sure both devices are on the same Wi-Fi network.
- Pair iPhone 15 Not With Apple Watch: If you have an iPhone 15 and wish not to pair it with an Apple Watch, ensure that Bluetooth is turned off when setting up your new iPhone. This prevents the automatic pairing process. If you accidentally initiate pairing, simply cancel it from the Watch app on the iPhone.
- How to Print an Email from iPhone: Got an important email that you need a hard copy of? Open the ‘Mail’ app and navigate to the email you want to print. Tap the reply icon (a small curved arrow), then select ‘Print’. Choose a printer, adjust any settings, and tap ‘Print’ again.
With these tips and tricks, your iPhone experience is bound to be smoother and more intuitive. Whether it’s seamless integration with other Apple devices, interactivity with smart home tools, or basic functionalities like printing and backup, there’s always something new to learn and explore. Happy tech-ing!
