Back Tap

The Back Tap feature allows you to turn the back of your iPhone into a sensor. Found in the accessibility settings under touch, this feature lets you assign actions to double or triple taps on the back of your phone. For example, you can set a double tap to turn on the flashlight or a triple tap to bring up the control center. This can be particularly useful when you need quick access to certain functions while using your phone with one hand.

Live Text

Live Text allows you to scan text from physical documents directly into your iPhone. By tapping and holding in a text field within any app like Messages or Notes, you can select "scan text" from the autofill options. The camera will then activate, allowing you to capture and insert text from any document in real-time. This feature eliminates the need for manual typing and makes it easy to copy information quickly.

Drag & Drop

The Drag & Drop feature allows you to move multiple apps or content between apps seamlessly. In jiggle mode, you can tap and hold one app icon, then tap other app icons to group them together. You can then drag and drop all the selected apps to a new location on your home screen. Additionally, you can drag a link from Safari and drop it directly into a text message or note by swiping up to access the app switcher without releasing your finger from the screen.

Screen Record

The Screen Record feature allows you to record your iPhone screen. By tapping and holding the screen record icon in the control center, you can access additional options, including the ability to turn the microphone on or off. This allows you to record your screen with audio, making it useful for creating tutorials or providing tech support. The recorded video is then saved directly to your photo album.

Audio Control

The Audio Control feature allows you to control the microphone settings during phone calls. While on a call, accessing the control center will display audio control options, including "voice isolation" and "wide spectrum." Voice isolation focuses on capturing only your voice while muting background noise, making it ideal for calls in loud environments. Wide spectrum picks up all the sounds around you, which can be useful if you want to share the ambient environment with the person on the other end of the call.

Tab Groups

Tab Groups helps you organize and manage your Safari tabs efficiently. By tapping and holding on a website link, you can drag it and tap other links to group them together. You can then swipe to the tab management area and create a new tab group or add the selected tabs to an existing group. This feature allows you to categorize your tabs based on different topics or projects, making it easier to navigate and manage multiple open tabs.
