If you’re looking to unleash the maximum potential of your iPhone and Mac, then keep reading. We’ll share some invaluable advanced iPhone tips and techniques that can save you time and greatly simplify your life.

H2 How to Boost iPhone Performance?

#1 Assign a Back Tap Function

To trigger an action on your iPhone, you can utilize the Back Tap accessibility feature. This feature allows you to assign an action when you double-tap or triple-tap the back of your device. You have the flexibility to launch specific apps, activate the Control Center, toggle the Rotation Lock, enable Zoom, open the Camera, or even initiate a shortcut.

To assign an action to a double-tap or triple-tap, follow these steps: Go to Settings, then Accessibility. Under “Physical and Motor,” tap on Touch. Scroll down to locate Back Tap and select either Double Tap or Triple Tap. Choose an action from the provided list that you want to trigger.

 #2 Automatic Memory Cleanup

Most iPhone tips and trips require the smartphone to have good performance. For the device to work well, it needs at least 5GB of free space. With an app for cleaning you can automatically find temporary data and duplicate files. With Cleanup App you can free up several gigabytes of space without deleting valuable personal data. Instead of searching and deleting personal photos with a heavy heart, it is better to use a phone cleaner and compress the video. CleanUp also can create a secure memory partition that is password protected.

 #3 Shift Your Keyboard Left or Right

If you’re typing with just one thumb, the default iOS keyboard allows you to choose between a left- or right-leaning option. Hold your finger on the globe or emoji icon located at the bottom of the keyboard. In the pop-up, select the preferred left or right keyboard option. To return to full screen, simply tap the arrow pointing in the opposite direction of your preference. Please note that this feature only works in Portrait Mode and won’t be available if you’ve adjusted to the “Larger Text” view under Settings > Display & Brightness.

#4 Add Multiple Timers

We really need multiple timers, or at least I do. We consistently assess smartphones and tablets. Some of these battery tests can be quite tedious. If you lose track of time, you may have to redo the entire recharging test.

So, in these circumstances, the ability to set multiple timers at once is extremely useful. And now, iOS provides this option. It’s easy to set up and run multiple timers:

  1. Launch the Clock app and go to the Timer tab.
  2. Click on the (+) icon to add a new timer.
  3. Label it and set when it should end.
  4. After that, click on Start.
  5. You can create as many timers as you need… apparently. However, only five timers will appear as Live Activities on your Lock Screen.

 #5 QuickTake Video

On ‌‌iPhone‌‌ 11 and later models, you have the option to seamlessly record videos without switching out of the default photo mode. To capture a quick video in the Camera app, just press and hold the shutter button, then release it to stop recording.

For continuous video recording without the need to hold the button, slide the shutter button to the far right. As you do so, the shutter will stretch elastically under your finger, and a target padlock icon will appear. Once placed on the padlock, the shutter button will remain in that position for the entire video shoot. Additionally, you can tap the shutter to take a still photo while recording. To conclude the video shoot, simply tap the record button found below the viewfinder.

 #6 Turn Off 5G Coverage

Apple promotes a Smart Data feature exclusive to its 5G phones. This feature automatically switches between 4G LTE and 5G networks based on your device usage. However, you may notice faster battery drain on your iPhone. If you prioritize battery life over 5G speeds, simply disable the feature. You can easily switch it back on when desired or when your area’s network improves.

To turn off 5G on your iPhone and ensure it always uses 4G LTE (even if 5G coverage is available), open the Settings app. Then, navigate to Cellular > Primary > Voice & Data, and select LTE. On the other hand, if you prefer your iPhone to exclusively use a 5G connection whenever possible, choose 5G On.

 #7 Cast an iPhone on a TV or Mac

You can stream the content of your iPhone screen on the TV using the AirPlay feature. This functionality allows you to mirror your iPhone screen on compatible TVs or an Apple TV streaming device. Follow these steps to do so:

  1. Open the Control Center.
  2. Tap the Screen Mirroring icon.
  3. Choose your Apple TV, AirPlay 2-compatible smart TV, or Mac from the list. If your TV screen or Mac displays an AirPlay passcode, enter it on your iOS device.
  4. To stop mirroring your iOS device, open the Control Center, tap Screen Mirroring, and then tap Stop Mirroring.

 #8 Stop Apps From Tracking Your Exact Location

Apps such as Doordash and Postmates need your exact location to ensure accurate food delivery. However, not all iPhone applications require constant tracking of your precise whereabouts. That is why you can take control and prevent apps from accessing your exact location.

To achieve this, open the Settings app, select an application (e.g., Instagram), tap on Location, and disable the Precise Location option. By turning off Precise Location, apps will only have access to your approximate location within a few miles.
