Hey, what's up guys, Stephen Coulthard of Mac here and for today's video, you asked
0:05
for it, so here are 5 more hidden iPhone features you might not know
0:09
Let's get started. If you tend to update all of your apps at once, you might find yourself waiting on a
0:17
ton of apps to update before you can use them again. But if there's one you're itching to use and just can't wait, you can use 3D Touch
0:22
to prioritise downloads. Simply 3D Touch on the app that is currently in a queue, but you want to update first and
0:29
you'll see a list of options including prioritise download. Choose that and your selected app will update first
0:35
Putting up furniture? Well, the iPhone has a secret app hidden within the compass app
0:40
Open compass and then swipe from right to left to reveal a spirit level
0:43
It uses the gyroscope within the phone to figure out what's level and what needs some tweaking
0:47
It's definitely more useful to me than the compass. I love using Siri, since getting CarPlay I've been using it much more often
0:54
The most annoying part though has got to be when it mispronounces a name
1:00
Thankfully there's an easy fix. If Siri said something wrong, correct it by saying, that's not how you pronounce, followed
1:06
by whichever word or name it said incorrectly. Siri will then ask for the correct pronunciation, swiftly followed by a check to make sure it's
1:22
Flicking back and forth between two apps is super simple if your iPhone has 3D touch
1:26
To quickly switch between a previous app, 3D touch on the left side of the screen and swipe to the right
1:30
Or you can open up the app switcher by 3D touching on the left side of the screen and
1:34
letting go near the middle. Finally if you want your iPhone to read selections of text to you, head to settings, general
1:40
and then accessibility and toggle the speak selection to on. You can then highlight text the same way you copy and paste, only you now have the option
1:47
for speech. Well that's it for this video, if you found it useful, go ahead and hit that like button
