🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 00:30 👆 *Use a two-finger gesture in iOS to quickly select multiple items, like emails, by dragging down from the top of the list.* 01:25 🎙️ *Enable dictation to stay on continuously, allowing you to type and dictate without toggling it on and off repeatedly.* 02:23 ⏲️ *Long-press the timer widget in Control Center to quickly set a timer without opening the Clock app.* 02:52 ⌨️ *Press and hold keyboard symbols to access the secondary keyboard, eliminating the need to switch back and forth.* 03:34 🔊 *Utilize touch-controlled volume adjustment by dragging your finger on the volume slider that appears when adjusting volume.*

Good tips. You can actually touch and hold the Crop button and it gives you options to select aspect ratios on the crop.

Excellent show I’ve needed so much help learning how to use my apple. My son said he’d teach me but he’s always working don’t see him as much still visit him but he never taught me like you do. I’m grateful for your learning channel. Please please make more videos thankyou

[@ronm1055]

-32 degrees!?! 🥶 oh… great tips!

[@Sloany81]

Tip #1 After pressing edit, instead of dragging two fingers down to select all in junk, press select all in top left corner.

[@at3a6krd]

Thanks! Your tips were truly appreciated and very helpful. Please keep up the good work.

[@Nightflyer720]

[@emiel333]

Great  tips.

[@tjac4801]

I freaking love this channel!!!!!!!

[@_m3lusi]

Really great tips. We learn everyday. I’m tempted to activate the “Erase Data” feature. My concern is all my iPhone data being erased if my 3year old manages to get his sneaky hands on to my phone.

[@Valdilliezz]

Love it

[@andrewwiencken4588]

I like the crop and link ones thanks ,, you ca also use two fingers and push up to Muti select , and in the calculator you can swipe off a diget if you'd one by accedent ..

[@JMWexperience]

Nice tips!

[@-22766]

[@penniebrooksdoyle007]

[@maikaimakena9424]

[@ivanradi4275]

Good ones !!!!

[@user-ci1vl4yu5w]

Awesome video I am new to iOS got so tired of android. This video help tremendously Thank you can you share wallpaper link

[@02blazp]

For first tip you can just use the select all ;)

[@lorenipsum93]

I remember when the volume indicator was just a static image that came up smack dab in the middle of the screen and you had to wait for it to go away to do anything. Took em 13 years to figure out another way. 🤦

[@rockandcrystal2162]

Great tips though!!!

[@micheljauvin3536]

well done

[@Tec811]

Nice one! ‘Of course, send the stupid message’ lol 😂

[@johnnybeep1209]

I guess everyone will be distracted by your -32 degrees 🥶😆

[@itimdesigner]

thanks, really useful:D

[@steveh7216]

*An Excellent video Michael!* You've given some great tips! 👍 _Furthermore to add to your list..._ *Timers* At 2:28, another quick way of setting up a timer is using Siri. (without even touching the iPhone). e.g. _'Siri, timer five minutes'_ *Keyboard* At 2:47, another similar method without sliding, is "tap & hold down" the secondary keyboard button with your left thumb, then tap the desired character with your right hand. Then release your left thumb. (sounds complex in description here, but it's easy when you try; especially if you're doing more than one character) *Weather Map* At 6:36, also a nice feature is you can "tap & hold" anywhere on the map to bring up specific info on that area.

[@rakeshjain6213]

Great

[@ChrisW228]

At 9:25, you were right on the screen of something really important that you don’t have set. :) The area above the Erase All Data is toggle switches for which things you want to be able to access with the phone locked. All of yours are on. At the very least, turn off Control Center. That way, if someone steals your phone, they can’t just turn on airplane mode to prevent Find My Phone from working.

[@lacshy]

I start to think there is no more secrets in iOS for me. Also, these type of videos seems to repeat eachother like an echo chamber. Cool vid though, I see you have put a lot of effort in it.

[@GAstonAmosi]

Okay, this is useful I’m using it to reply to this video

[@kalundejr28]

As i came through this Video I Needed to group a certain group of related websites, is there a way i can do it in Safari? Or will the version Operating System matter🤷🏽‍♂️

[@Das-ios]

Good job.. can i ask u a question? I am using 13 pro since 2 years. Is there any major advantage to switch on to 15 pro from my 13 pro.

[@Faisalmazhar27]

i liked it saved it subed it

[@mpolisi86]

So the drag emoticons or secondary keyboard feature for the? You showed only works if you have suggestions, activated by the way might want to specify.

[@manishranjan1929]

Gajaaab...

[@kenward2005]

We have passwords in I cloud key chain and google is there a way to transfer the google passwords to key chain. Thanks again.

[@jgr627]

Link to that wicked stand!

[@mkh9ny3l1]

This option of erasing data: is it not going allow the next person to easily use your phone after the data has been erased? If that’s the case, I doubt it’s a solution unless if it can still keep it from the perpetrator trying to use my phone

[@13Youngblood13]

I never new to hold down the keyboard button hit what u need and go back that will save some time

[@haolin4901]

Regarding the Erase Data after 10 wrong attempts, it will wipe out the data. It wouldn't lock the phone after reset?

[@Jakeb2392]

I think I’m too deep into the ecosystem! Haha. Anytime these videos are posted by creators I know all of the tips lol

[@tataed8035]

The volume slider was available i think form ios 15

[@sunny27jan]

Are you from Canada?

[@GabeWaldeck]

Not only can you press and hold the timer, after it appeared *without letting go of the screen* you can slide up and down to set the time you want. I thought the tip would be this, but anyways. Now you know.

[@kamleshgirigoswami9946]

Hi I need to know how recording incomeing call on 13 pro max

[@cleme2558]

You can just set timer with Siri. Hold side button : then just say “ set time for ….” Or set countdown.

[@umok6243]

15 tips but I want only want yours 😊

[@umok6243]

This has two meanings 💀

[@edmc755]

My iPhone 15, the side volume slider does not work with mine ??????

[@MrEbeet]

I use siri for dictation all the time. "Siri, take a note..."

[@Kausar-1]

What is the name your wallpaper?

[@newYorkStories]

Pretty chilly in Edomonton - brrrr

[@myst8217]

Using Siri to set a timer is even simpler.

[@tjac4801]

One feature I hate they added where they show your WiFi password now in settings , if you sign someone in on your WiFi connection

[@veggiecations]

😅LOL, this crazy... Never realized these things exists. so LOL at myself

[@dharmeshrathod4110]

Wallpaper link plz

[@Rigel_Chiokis]

Siri tip for table top gamers: you can also say "roll a d10", or d20, d4, d6, d100 etc. rather than using dice.

[@hamza-pp9xp]

🤙🏼

[@Kausar-1]

Sir how to download your wallpaper

[@dharmeshrathod4110]

Plz give link of wallpaper

[@nasseralsharif]
