\"Useful<\/p>\n

The iPhone is loaded with so many features that it\u2019s easy to overlook some of the most useful tricks we all use everyday<\/a>. With that in mind, I\u2019m going to cover seven of the iPhone tips that I use every day, which I find genuinely useful. <\/p>\n

This is a collection of iPhone tips that are simple, practical, and broadly applicable<\/strong>, the type of features that are routine in my daily iPhone usage, and hopefully might be useful in yours too. And going beyond my own usage, we\u2019d love to hear your own routine iPhone tips and tricks too, so feel free to share those in the comments, and to provide feedback on these tips as well.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s jump to it!<\/p>\n

1: Weather Widget on Lock Screen & Home Screen<\/p>\n

This is a little quality of life tip that I have really come to appreciate and rely on; seeing the weather immediately. <\/p>\n

\"Lock<\/p>\n

I place a weather widget showing the current temperature, high temp, low temp, and conditions, directly on the lock screen of my iPhone, and also on my primary Home Screen. No need to visit weather.com or a local news site before getting dressed for the day, I can now see exactly what is expected as soon as I look at my iPhone.<\/p>\n

Sure you can open the weather app, but with the weather widget, there\u2019s no need to just get a quick glance at current and expected conditions so you can prepare accordingly. Wondering if it\u2019s sweater weather? Shorts weather? Need a rain jacket? Need a subzero down parka? Your weather widget will let you know. <\/p>\n

2: Siri for Reminders<\/p>\n

I use Siri for reminders constantly, particularly when it\u2019s something that\u2019s on my mind now but I might forget. Whether it\u2019s \u201cHey Siri, remind me to take the garbage out in one hour\u201d, or \u201cSiri, remind me in three hours to send an email to Todd\u201d, or \u201cSiri, remind me to grab eggs from the store in 3 hours\u201d, I use this feature every day.<\/p>\n

\"Use<\/p>\n

Activate Siri with a long press on your power\/lock button, or with the Hey Siri voice command, that\u2019s up to you.<\/p>\n

3: Lock Screen Camera<\/p>\n

I use the iPhone camera daily for all sorts of things, and being able to access the camera immediately from the lock screen is super convenient and fast. <\/p>\n

\"Lock<\/p>\n

Whether you use the camera button in the corner, or the camera swipe, both work for instant camera access.<\/p>\n

4: Use the Flashlight<\/p>\n

My iPhone also happens to be the most used flashlight I own, and I rely on this feature surprisingly often. iPhone Flashlight gets used for everything from an evening dog walk, to looking under the seats of my car for something dropped, to navigating the house late at night without turning on room lights. Since many of us basically always have our iPhone on us at all times, it\u2019s helpful to remember you also have a flashlight on you at all times with this handy feature.<\/p>\n

\"Accessing<\/p>\n

You can also access the Flashlight from Control Center, if you don\u2019t have it or want it on your lock screen.<\/p>\n

5: Schedule Messages for the Future<\/p>\n

I frequently use the message scheduling feature to send messages in the future, whether it\u2019s a confirmation for a meeting, a message to a friend or loved one, something that is time relevant, or myriad other possibilities. Something I like to do for certain messages is to specify on their they are scheduled, but that\u2019s just a courtesy (or quirk) of my own.<\/p>\n

\"Schedule <\/p>\n
