Intro
The video introduces 10 tips and tricks for iPhone users that are available in iOS 18, but many users are not aware of them or haven't fully utilized them. The presenter aims to guide viewers through these features to enhance their iPhone experience.
Create a Mail Reminder without drag and drop
To create a reminder linked to an email without using drag and drop, select a sentence or paragraph in the email, use the share option, and choose reminders. This creates a new reminder with the selected text and a link back to the original email.
Paste a URL into Mail with custom text
To paste a URL into an email with custom text, first, write the text you want to turn into a link. Then, copy the URL from Safari, go back to the email, select the text, and choose paste from the contextual menu. This will insert the URL while keeping the original text as a clickable link.
Send handwritten messages in Messages
To send a handwritten message, turn your iPhone to landscape mode while in a message. Tap the squiggle button in the bottom right corner of the keyboard, write your message, and send it.

Turn a webpage into a searchable PDF archive
To turn a webpage into a searchable PDF archive, open the page in Safari, tap the share button, choose print, and pinch out on the preview to turn it into a PDF. Then, share the PDF to the Notes app, where it can be annotated and searched.
Use Focus Modes to automate AOD
To automate the Always-On Display (AOD) using Focus Modes, create a work focus mode in settings. In the focus mode settings, add a filter to turn off the AOD when the work focus mode is active, and it will automatically switch back on when the focus mode is off.
Customise VIP mail alerts
To customize VIP mail alerts, add contacts to your VIP list in the mail app. Then, customize the alert sound and vibration for VIP emails in the VIP mailbox settings.
Hide or reduce appearance of people in Photos
To manage the appearance of people in the Photos app, go to the people and pets section, tap into their album, and choose to not feature them, either less or never, or hide them entirely from the album.
Use a nickname for a contact
To use a nickname for a contact, create the contact with their real name, then add a nickname field in the contact card. This allows you to search for the contact using either their real name or nickname.
Image cleanup for security
To secure images, use the cleanup tool in the photos app to blur faces or redact text by circling the area you want to pixelate or jumble.
Replace an App Icon
To replace an app icon, save the new icon to your photos app, open the Shortcuts app, create a new shortcut to open the app, rename the shortcut, and add it to your home screen with the new icon.
