iPhone features you might not have heard about.

All right, here's three productivity themed iPhone features you probably didn't know about. So first, normally when you want to select a few things on an Apple app, you hit edit and then select a few things one at a time. But in any of these you can just two-finger drag, select to pick as many things as you want or unselect. So that goes for memos, files, messages, and even Apple notes.

But speaking of notes, you probably use this app for just writing stuff dying you want to remember. But if it's just text in front of you, hit the camera icon and there's a scanned text feature which will look at any text in front of you and instantly translate it into typed characters. Super useful for grabbing a quick business card or something like that. But then my personal favorite is called back tap so it's in settings, accessibility, touch, and then scroll down to back tap and it's exactly what it sounds like.

You can map things to a double tap or triple tap of the back of the phone, so it's like adding an extra button. you can double tap to launch the flashlight or triple tap for the camera. Since the iPhone doesn't do a power button shortcut like every other phone, you're welcome.

    Backtap is super inconsistent if you have a phone case on… I used it for a while and my flashlight was either constantly on or just never worked when I needed it to…

    I thought it meant a back button as a tap. I can’t stand that there is no way to just go back in ios
