Five Things iPhone Apps Do That You Didn't Know

Conceal ImagesWhile you are proud of the pictures in your Photo app, there may be a few that you would like to keep to yourself. Tap on Select in the right hand corner then choose the images you wish to conceal. Hit the box in the bottom left corner that shares your files with others. If you scroll through the menu provided, you will find the Hide option. When you press it, the pictures that you have selected will disappear from those in the Photo app. However, when you want to look at them again, they will be in the Hidden album in the same program.Custom AlertsYour iPhone has multiple options to alert you when a specific person calls. You have the option to save a special song or tone to a contact to indicate that it is them. You can also set a particular vibration to them if your phone is on silent. Both of these settings are found under your Contacts app. When you select a contact from the list, tap on their ringtone option. Here you should see both vibration and ringtone. You can choose from the suggested lists that they have or install your own customized version that fits the person who is reaching out to you.Eliminate Large Amounts Of TextIt can be frustrating when you type a large paragraph or two on your phone either in a document, email, or text and have to get rid of it. Pressing the delete button down until it is gone takes time that you can spend elsewhere. If you need to eliminate text quickly, shake your iPhone. A message will pop up asking if you wish to delete what you have written. When you select yes, it will wipe off the letters from your screen. You need to be cautious, however, since it will also offer that option if you rattle your device accidentally. If you want to shut this off, you can go into your Settings app. Tap on General and then Accessibility. In that menu you will find the Shake to Undo feature. You can disable it here. The many applications that you find on your iPhone can make your daily life easier as well as entertain you when you have downtime. Knowing the hidden features that some of these programs have can be an added benefit to your everyday routine outside the digital world from hanging pictures on your wall to making editing easy for you.
