Apple iPhones are a popular choice for smartphones. They boast some of the best features and specifications in the market. However, most iPhone owners are unaware of the many features and functions their phone possesses.

If you have an iPhone and are looking for some neat tricks and hacks, then you've come to the right place. Some of these hacks can make your life a lot easier and more productive. So, without further ado, let's get started.

Take photos using volume buttons

In addition to the shutter button, your iPhone's volume buttons can also be used to take a photo. To do this, just half-press the volume button to focus and then fully press it to take the photo. This can be especially useful when taking a photo one-handed or when you want to be discreet about taking a picture.

Add effects to iMessage

Apple's iMessage service is a great way to stay in touch with friends and family, and it's even more fun when you can add some cool effects to your messages. You can use the built-in effects that come with iMessage. To access these effects, simply type your message and then tap and hold the Send button. A menu will pop up with a list of options, including the ability to add an effect to your message.

Adjust the brightness of your flashlight

Did you know that you can adjust the brightness of your iPhone's flashlight? It's a very useful feature that many people are unaware of. For example, you might want to dim the light to conserve battery power or protect your eyes when using the flash in a low-light environment.

To access the feature, simply go to your iPhone's Settings app and scroll down to the "Flashlight" section. Here you will see a slider that you can use to adjust the brightness of your flashlight.

Take pictures while recording videos

The iPhone has a cool feature that lets you take a picture while you're recording a video. This is a great way to capture memories in both videos and still form. Here's how to do it:

2. Start recording your video.

3. Tap the camera shutter button to take a photo.

4. The photo will then be saved to your camera roll without disrupting your video recording.

The new feature called "Guided Access" can be used to freeze the screen of your iPhone to a single app, making it impossible for anyone to leave and scroll through other apps or menus. The necessary steps to activate the feature are as follows:

2. Click on Accessibility.

3. Toggle on"Guided Access and click on Passcode Settings.

4. Set a new Passcode.

The inbuilt measure app can be used to measure distances, lengths and areas. It is a very handy tool when you are shopping for large items like furniture or carpets. You can also use it to measure the size of your rooms and see if they fit the new furniture that you have bought. All you have to do is, point your camera at the object, and it will give you the measurements in inches or centimeters, depending on what units you are using.
