Quick Keyboard Cleanup

Raise your hand if you’ve munched on snacks while typing, leaving your keyboard a mess of crumbs. (No judgment here!) For a swift clean-up, grab a sticky note. Slide the sticky side through the crevices to remove weeks of crumb buildup and dust.

Fast Charging

Ready to head out but forgot to charge your phone? No worries! Activate airplane mode before plugging it in. This feature disables energy-draining activities like GPS and background apps, allowing your phone to charge faster.

Alexa to Keep Kids Entertained

Need a break? Ask Alexa to “tell a story.” For the next ten minutes, she’ll captivate your kids with engaging tales filled with sound effects and excitement.

Hands-Free Photo Taking on iPhone

Sometimes you need both hands while capturing moments with your kids. Enable voice commands for hands-free photography! Go to “Settings,” then “Accessibility,” and turn on “Voice Control.” To take a photo, just ask Siri to open the camera, then adjust the volume—this will snap the picture!

Printer Ink Hack

Printer ink can cost a fortune. When you run out of black ink, change the font color to #010101, which is nearly gray. Your printer will use color ink while still printing in black, saving you a trip to the store.

Storage Solutions

If your phone shows a “Storage Full” message and you need to snap a photo, use social media apps like Facebook or Instagram. Take a picture through their camera feature, then exit the app without posting. The image will save to your camera roll automatically.

Flight Tracking Made Easy

If you’re trying to track a loved one’s flight and they forgot to share the details, simply Google their flight route. You’ll find all the flight information, including arrival times and flight numbers.

iPhone Calculator Trick

Ever accidentally input a wrong number while calculating? Simply swipe left or right within the calculator app to delete the last entry without losing your previous calculations.

Battery Life Test

Not sure which batteries are dead? Bounce them on a hard surface. The higher they bounce, the less charge they have left—an unusual but effective method!

Kid-Proofing Your Phone

Anxious when your child has your phone? Enable guided access to limit its functionality, even disabling volume control. Go to “Settings,” select “General,” and enable “Guided Access.” You can activate it with three presses of the home button, allowing you to restrict whatever features you want.
