Three HIDDEN iPhone tricks all Apple fans should try now
YOU may think you’ve tried every feature iPhone has to offer but Apple is always full of surprises.
Here are three of the more obscure iPhone features that are actually very useful.
Three finger trick
If you make a mistake while typing on your iPhone you can swipe three of your fingers to the left of the screen and it should undo automatically.
If you single tap with three fingers you should notice a quick toolbar pop up.
This hidden iPhone toolbar includes things like a redo button, an undo button, and cut and paste options.
Use Airplane mode to hang up
It’s rude to put the phone down on someone mid-conversation but there’s a way to fake a poor connection.

If you find yourself needing to get out of an awkward phone call, you can put your iPhone on Airplane mode.
This should send a call failed error message and not an indicator that you just hung up.
Turn on Night Shift
Apple’s Night Shift feature may help you sleep better.
It can reduce the amount of blue light entering your eyes from your iPhone.
Blue light notoriously messes with your ability to sleep because it blocks a hormone called melatonin and that’s the one that makes you sleepy.
Go to Settings and then click “Display & Brightness”.
Here you can turn Night Shift on and even set a timer for it to turn on and off automatically each day.
