4. Two or three taps and something happens!
The iPhone offers the option of a double or triple tap on the back of the device, which allows you to access regularly used functions, including:
- Increase or decrease volume;
- Lock screen or orientation;
- Open the camera;
- Take a screenshot;
- Access the control or notification center;
- Access the home screen;

Avoid going offline when you need to do schoolwork, work tasks, or use GPS to get to your destination.
To save mobile data, you just need to know one more of our iPhone tricks: activate Data Saving mode in the Mobile Network option, which you'll find in Settings. This mode prevents:
- Apps from using data in the background;
- Email synchronization;
- Automatic updates or downloads of large files;
- Viewing videos in high resolution.
6. The usefulness of the medical ID in case of emergency
The medical ID helps healthcare professionals access your medical data in an emergency, without needing a code to view it on your phone.
Enter all information in your ID by following these steps:
- Open the Health app and go to Summary;
- Tap your profile picture, then the Medical ID option;
- Update the requested data and select the "Show When Locked" option to make your medical ID accessible without requiring a security code.
7. Yes, on iPhone you can also track flights.
Are you traveling, or are you waiting for a friend or family member to arrive at the airport? Track the flight status simply and quickly through your smartphone.
You just need to open the messages app and see the flight number the person sent you in the conversation (which automatically becomes a link). Then, simply preview the flight or copy its code.
8. Enjoy the one-handed keyboard.
One of the most used iPhone tricks is a feature that allows you to use your smartphone's keyboard with just one hand. This is a solution for situations where you're doing a task that occupies one of your hands.
To do this, go to General Settings, select the Keyboard option, and choose One-Handed Keyboard.
