20 Hidden Features of iOS 7 that you must try.

iOS 7 has been built with a lot of features, many of them are not for your everyday use and so-called hidden from your Knowledge. If you own an iOS 7 device and wants to try these features, follow this article till end and if you don’t want to try them, then I suggest leave this article and search of other iOS 7 tutorials. Let’s move ahead and find out which of them you have used and which are not.

1. Use Safari to See Tweets with Links or URLs.

You can now quickly see the updated tweets while browsing through, just click on the bookmark icon in Safari and Tap ‘@’ to see all the tweets.

2. Turn Parallax On/Off.

To increase the speed of your iOS 7, I suggest that you should turn off your Motion Effects in other words, Turn off the parallax Effect. But if you want to see some real life scenario effects in your iPhone, then let parallax Effect On. Go to Settings > Accessibility > Reduce Motion.

3. Enable/Disable Bold Text.

If you don’t like the iOS 7 thin Text, then try switching it to Bold Text. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility and Turn Bold Text On.

4. Change the Size of Text.

On the other hand if you have any sort of problem seeing the text size of iOS, just Change it. How? Go to Settings > General > Text Size and drag the slider to right to increase the text size.

5. See the Frequently Visited Places on the Map.

Now you can see what place you most frequent visit in your free time, or what you have been visiting in past couple of days. Just Go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services > System Services > Frequent Locations, but i suggest to turn if Off, otherwise it will keep draining your battery.

6. Block Callers and Un-Wanted Messages.

The best option that i have loved in iOS 7, is the option of blocking the unwanted calls and messages. To activate it, go to Settings > Messages > Blocked. For calls, just open the contact and then scroll down to the bottom to contact details and press Block this Caller.

7. Show TimeStamps in Message App.

Knowing time of the message sent or received is not a big demand, but in rare occasions it can save your life. Now in iOS 7 if you haven’t been able to find anyway to activate the timestamp in messages, we will show you how it is done. Open Messages and Swipe from Right to Left and you will see the sent and received time along with the day, if the messages are more than one day older.

8. Use Siri to Enable/Disable System Toggles.

Well Notification tray has given a lot of convenient in case of System Toggles, but Siri can be even more faster in case of such things. All you need to do is to Activate Siri and tell it what you want like “Turn On WI-Fi” and Siri will do it, if your Wi-fi or Bluetooth is already active you will be notified by Siri.

9. Use Swipe Gesture to Go back to Previous Screen.

Now you can swipe from Left to Right to go back to the previous screen, there is no need to press the Home button and again open the same app, to visit the just the previous screen.

1o. Take Square Photos Using Camera App.

If Regular Photos are good enough for you, iOS 7 camera app can now take Square Photos. Just Open the Camera app and Swipe from Right to Left to open Square Photo, using the same sequence you can open Vidoe and Panorama.

11. Update Apps in Background.

Now in iOS 7 you don’t need to worry about the App Background refresh, is will be done for you without causing any sort of trouble. Just go to Settings > General > Background App Refresh and activate it, but if you want your iPhone to work fast and preserve the battery life, don’t turn it On.

12. Use Panorama Photos to Illuminate the Home and Lock Screen.

Now you can put the panorama Photos in your Library as your Home and Lock Screen Wallpaper. It will be the full panorama instead of just one thumbnail or page. On Lock screen, since you can’t have more than one window, you can try it fully on Home Screen. Go to Settings > Wallpaper and Lock Screen and Choose the wallpaper for both Lock and Home Screen, enable parallax Effect if you want it more dynamic.

13. Bubble Level In Compass App.

Now this might get a bit difficult for you to understand, but if you want to show off in front of your friends, turn your simple compass to Bubble Level Compass, Open Compass app, after the calibration, Swipe from Right to Left and you will see the Bubble Level in Compass.

14. Use Siri For Updates from your Favourite Site.

Yes! Now you can ask Siri about what “this” site has to offer, for example, I follows Engadget more than any other site. So, just ask Siri About Engadget and it will open all the updates from Engadget in front of you.

15. Turn Automatic Updates On/Off.

If you are getting tired from the excess drainage of battery because of Automatic Updates, just turn it Off, Go to Settings > iTunes and App Store and Tap the Automatic downloads to turn it On/Off.

16. Disable/Enable Control Center in Lock Screen and Apps.

If you don’t want anyone else or yourself to keep accidentally lauch Control Center in Lock Screen and Apps, Turn if off, Go to Settings > Control Center and Tap the both Access Within apps and LockScreen to either Turn in On or Off.

17. Create Folder for Ease.

Now you can put unlimited apps in folders and the best part you home screen will look like a piece of Beauty, because of less Junk on it. To create a folder Merge Two Apps, folders can give space to unlimited apps.

18. Disable or Enable Advertise Tracking.

Don’t want your iOS device to be tracked for some specific ads. Go to settings > Privacy > Advertising and disable the Limit Ad Tracking. Disabling this feature will also save your battery life.

19. Dynamic Wallpapers.

Just like Live Wallpapers in Android, Apple has given Dynamic Wallpapers in iOS 7, we suggest to activate parallax Effect if you want to use Dynamic Wallpapers to make it more stylish.

21. Edit Queries in Siri.

Most of the time Siri can’t able to judge the right word and instead it will launch something else, don’t fight with it if happened, instead Tap on Edit, just below the word and change the word according to your desire and then search it. Doing this won’t only save your time but effort too.

22. Zoom into Album Art in iOS 7 Music App.

Now the iOS 7 Music app, when turned to landscape mode, instead of showing tiles, Music App will show you Album Art. looks cool, but the real thing is that you can zoom in or out while in your Album Art.’

It seems like that many people are having some sort of trouble with setting up the touch ID in iPhone 5S. Even though they set it up and received the success message, when they tried to unlock their phone using their finger, then can’ get pass the lock screen. I have seen many requests at Apple forum and thought to search for ir and finally found it on Theunlockr.com. Following is the accurate way to set-up your finger print for the Unlock screen.

But before we begin make sue to remember:

Your finger Tip is clean and there is not much dirt on it.
There shouldn’t be nay mark of Scar on your finger tip, which you will be using to set-up your ID.
If you have done it before, you will need to remove those Prints to set-up the new ones.

How To Remove Your Old Finger Prints:

Tap on Settings.
Open General.
Tap Passcode and FingerPrint.
Enter your Pincode/Password if asked.
Tap FingerPrints.
Tap Edit at Top Right.
Tap the red minus next to one of your current fingers below, then tap Delete.
Repeat the Above step to remove all fo your finger prints.

How To Add the New FingerPrints.

Tap Add a FingerPrint.
Put the majority of your Hand thumb on the Home Button of iPhone 5S and make sure that it covers the entire Home Button, hold it there until phone scans it.
Now for the Next scans, imagine your thumb in four different quadrants. ( top left, top right, bottom left, bottom right).
Now cover the entire home button with your Top Left side of your Thumb and press down. Wait till it got scanned.
Now do the same with other 3 quadrants and make sure to cover the entire button and press down a bit hard.
Finally put the centre part of your thumb on the home button and wait for the scan, now that you whole thumb has been scanned, now no matter which part will be scanned by the phone, you phone will unlock and there won’t be any error.

How To Adjust Your Grip.

Now this part is a tricky one, but if you get a hold of it, the above tutorial will get even easier, and you won’t be having any trouble while scanning for unlocking your iPhone.

Rotate your Thumb to 45-degree angle onto its right side and scan it.
Now rotate your Thumb to the left side in the same manner and scan it too.
Now make sure that your fingers Top is on the scanner and scan it.
Now scan the lower side of your finger.
Repeat all the Four steps and make sure to scan until it is done scanning.
If you won’t succeed after all the scans, just do the random position scanning until it is finished.
Once Done, you have a finger scanned.

Make sure to scan all the fingers you want to use in near future.

How To: Turn off BlinkFeed in Sense 5.5

Sick of Blinkfeed? Why frustrate? Turn it off.

One of the most amazing features that HTC added to its Sense 5 user interface is the BlinkFeed which is a customizable newsfeed or a news reader that has been built on the homescreen.

You see new features are not that easy to introduce, especially when you have them forced on your homescreen and that too when there is no way that you could get rid of it. One way could be installing a new launcher, but people like me will not like doing so too. Oh hey, Wait! I do have another solution.. You could ignore the BlinkFeed in the first place. Okay, now that was lame..

Well, Sense 5.5 does actually have this option that lets you turn off the BlinkFeed. Yes, I’m talking about the sense which debuts on the HTC One Max. In order to turn the BlinkFeed off on sense 5.5 , follow these simple steps:

From the home screen, pinch your fingers together. That’ll take you to the home screen overview.
Tap the BlinkFeed On/Off button in the top left.

Now, I feel it necessary mentioning there actually are people who like BlinkFeed around. After all, it brings you everything that you’re already obsessed with. And even if people don’t use it, they’ll like having it turned on.

How to: Use Burst Mode in iOS 7

If you have had a chance to attend a sporting event, you might have felt the need of a DSLR camera or even when it was your birthday and the pictures of you blowing up the candles are so blurry that you starting wishing for a DSLR. And we’re not doubting that innocent fantasy of yours too. After all, a DSLR camera can capture 8 frames( or more) per second. But, not everybody has a DSLR, no? No problemo! All you gotta do is to learn how to use the Burst Mode on your iOS 7 device.

I said iOS 7 so its clear that this guide is only for those of you who have an iPhone 4 or newer. The Burst Mode on iOS 7 devices lets you capture 10 frames per second. Yes, 10! The older iPhones can capture 2-3 frames.

Using Burst Mode

The first thing that you need to know is that the Burst Mode is listed nowhere in the list of the capture modes that you’ll normally choose one from when you’re using the camera app.

When you capture a photo, you normally press the capture button and release it, but to capture images in the burst mode, you tap the capture button and don’t release it right away- keep holding it down unless the device starts capturing images one after the other. You’ll hear a continuous shutter noise. In case you have an older iPhone, you’ll have to have a look at the small gallery preview icon in the left corner to make sure you’ve had those burst-mode-images captured.

Managing Burst Mode Images

Ofcourse, when you’ve had so many pictures taken in a go it will result in dozens of photos piled up in your Photos app. iOS has a great way to save you the fatigue of viewing all the pictures separately and deciding which ones to keep. It makes a folder of the images taken in one attempt of the burst mode and shows it as a single photo in the Photos app.

You click on the folder and it opens revealing all the images that it holds. Press the “Favourites” button and then, by tapping on each photo, select which ones you want to keep. Then, tap “Done”. This saves the selected pictures separately as single photo and keeps the original folder as it was originally.

Enjoy! 🙂
