Summary of the iPhone tips (“10 amazing things”)

  1. Annotate a webpage in Safari and share it

    • From a Safari article, tap Share → View More → Markup to add notes (pens/highlighter).
    • To share the marked-up result, use this workaround:
      • Tap ellipsis (top-right) → Done → Save to Files
      • Then swipe down to close the Files integration, returning to the marked PDF so the Share button appears.
    • Share the annotated PDF normally.
  2. Manage app notifications directly from Notification Center

    • In Notification Center, swipe right-to-left on an app notification.
    • Options include:
      • Mute notifications (e.g., for 1 hour / for the rest of the day)
      • Add to Notification Summary
      • View settings
      • Turn off the app’s notifications completely
  3. Find favorited songs and favorited albums in Apple Music

    • Favoriting a song adds it to the Favorite Songs playlist.
    • Favorited albums are less obvious:
      • Go to Library → Albums → Filter → Favorites to view only favorited albums.
    • Similar filtering works for playlists.
  4. Training platform promotion (iPhone Essentials Plus)

    • Described as a structured learning tool with:
      • 250+ lessons
      • Each lesson includes a short video, step-by-step guide with screenshots, and a downloadable PDF
    • Features include search, module-based learning, a one-time purchase (no ongoing subscription), and future updates included.
    • Examples mentioned: an iPhone battery course and ad/sponsor-free versions of videos.
    • Note: promotional content, not a feature tutorial.
  5. Use Calculator history to restore previous calculations

    • Open Calculator and tap the clock icon (upper-left) to view history.
    • Long-press items to:
      • Copy expression or copy result
      • Delete history entries
    • Tap values to insert them back into the calculator.
  6. Create a one-tap Home Screen shortcut to call (or FaceTime) a person

    • Use the Shortcuts app:
      • Create a new shortcut (+)
      • Search for “phone” (or FaceTime) → choose Call
      • Select a specific contact
    • Customize:
      • Rename
      • Add to Home Screen
      • Choose a photo for the button tile
    • Result: one-tap calling directly from the Home Screen.
  7. Show Wi‑Fi password in large readable text

    • Works when the Wi‑Fi password is saved on the device.
    • Steps:
      • Open the Passwords app → Wi‑Fi → select network
      • Long-press the password → Show in Large Type
    • iPhone uses different colors for uppercase/lowercase, numbers, and symbols to help input correctly.
  8. Create a Reminders item from selected email text

    • In the Mail app, select text in an email.
    • Use the quick menu: tap Share → choose Reminders.
    • The reminder includes the selected text and a link back to the email.
    • Save/confirm with the blue tick.
  9. Create text hyperlinks on iPhone via paste

    • Copy a URL from Safari:
      • Tap the address bar → tap URL → Copy
    • In another app (example: Notes), select the text you want to link and paste the URL.
    • The selected text turns into a clickable hyperlink.
  10. Get flight status natively with Spotlight (and reverse image search alternatives)

    • Flight lookup
      • Open Spotlight and type a flight number
      • Spotlight often shows flight status immediately; tapping reveals more details (sometimes including a baggage claim carousel)
    • Reverse image search
      • With Apple Intelligence: screenshot → in preview tap the search button
      • Without Apple Intelligence: install the Google app, then use Share on a screenshot and choose Search with Google Lens
