37 iPhone Hacks That'll Make Your Life Wayyy Easier 

My 5 favorites:

Measure stuff using the camera:

If you've ever thought, darn, I wish I had a tape measure, this one's for you. There's an Apple app called Measure, and it allows you to measure IRL distances using your phone's camera. It's kinda like magic, honestly.

Use iOS's Dark Mode:

This will turn all of your phone's menus that are usually bright white into a dark gray/black instead. It'll really save your eyes if you have to check your phone in a dark room! Set it by going to Settings --> Display & Brightness.

Use the keyboard as a track pad to move the cursor while typing.

Y'know when you make a typo while texting and it's, like, impossible to tap on the right spot to place the typing cursor? Well, you can just tap and hold anywhere on the keyboard, and then you can slide your finger left and right to slide the cursor around.

Set a sleep timer so you can listen to music while you fall asleep:

If you like listening to podcasts or music while you fall asleep but want it to shut off after a while, all you need to do is set a timer (through the Clock app) and scroll down to the bottom of the When Timer Ends menu. Select Stop Playing, and your music will shut off when the timer expires.

Stop getting notifications from that overactive group chat:

Sometimes you end up in a group chat that just has one too many notifications for you to deal with. But instead of leaving the chat, you can simply tap on the photos of the group at the top of the screen, tap Info, and then toggle Hide Alerts. You'll still get the red notification counter on your home screen, but you won't get a chime, buzz, or banner.
