6 useful functions hidden in Apple's iOS system. It would be a waste if you don't use them.

01 Record screen and audio at the same time

Many people can’t find the screen recording button on their Apple phones. They need to open “Settings” - “Control Center” - “Customize Controls” and add the “Screen Recording” function below to the top, so that they can find it in the Control Center.

In fact, while recording the screen, in addition to recording system sounds, you can also record microphone sounds. After opening the control center panel, long press the screen recording button and click the microphone button at the bottom to turn it red, indicating that microphone recording is turned on.

02Scanning electronic documents

There is a scanner hidden in the iPhone's built-in memo, but many people don't use it. First enter the memo editing interface, click the "Camera" icon above the keyboard, and then select the "Scan Document" function.

Some paper documents, books, and certificates can be automatically scanned and identified, and then saved in the memo. The scanned files are PDF electronic documents, which are clearer than taking photos with a camera and can be printed directly.

03Double-click the back to take a screenshot

Are you still using physical buttons to take screenshots? If your iPhone has been upgraded to iOS 14, you can quickly take screenshots by tapping the back. Open Settings and find "General" - "Accessibility" - "Touch" - "Tap Back".

Next you will see that there are "Double Tap" and "Triple Tap". We can set double tap to take a screenshot and triple tap to record. When you want to take a screenshot in the future, just double-click on the back of the phone with your finger.

04Real-time transcription of recordings

In fact, the mobile phone is a great tool for meetings. Open the recording-to-text assistant and select the "real-time transcription of recordings" function. It can recognize Mandarin and dialects from all over the country, and you can also select different scenarios.

During the recognition process, it is best to place the phone close to the sound source. When the meeting is over, just click "Save" and a meeting minutes will be automatically generated. You can play the recording while checking the text, which is convenient for immediate modification.

05 Browser long screenshot

Who says Apple phones can’t take long screenshots? Open the Safari browser, capture a picture first, then click on the screenshot to edit it. There is a "Full Page" button on the top, so that you can save all the content on the webpage.

06Lock the current application

Finally, I will reveal a hidden "game mode" on Apple phones. Every time we play games, we are most afraid of phone calls and message notifications. You can open "Settings" - "Accessibility" - "Guided Access" to enable this function.

After we enter the game, press the lock button three times on a full-screen iPhone and press the home button three times on a non-full-screen iPhone to start guided access and lock the current application. You can set it to prohibit the use of volume buttons, keyboard and other operations.

If you don't want to lock the current app, press the lock screen button or the home screen button three times again to end the guided access and everything will return to normal. When using this feature for the first time, set a password to prevent others from rummaging through your phone.
