The user wrote, “What are some useful iPhone settings that most people don’t know about? I’ve had an iPhone for 11 years now, and I still sometimes find settings that prove to be useful.

A user wrote, “I work in the bowels of a hospital, so I get no cell signal. I set up automation so that once I arrive at work, it turns on Airplane mode, then turns WiFi back on, so it kills Cellular connectivity and doesn’t let the phone search for a signal all day and kills 50% of my battery. It then turns it all back on when I leave work. I have saved so much battery life with this.”

Another shared, “I keep her on silent all the time, constantly losing her. So—A Shortcut: “Siri, where are you?” Screen goes 100%, volume 100%, and a 1 second timer. I don’t have to email SO to call my phone to listen for her to vibrate anymore.”

Another wrote, “Unethical life pro tip: Voice memo in ‘utilities’ has unlimited recording times. Very handy when you’ve accidentally left it recording when looky loos are viewing your house for sale. Somehow, my spare phone found itself wedged inside a side table with voice memos going for 2 hours. Discovering true feedback was ahem, helpful.”

An individual shared, “Adding a Control Center accessibility option to Reduce White Point. Drops the minimum brightness drastically. Great for dark environments when the lowest brightness setting is still too bright.”

One more added, “I get motion sickness when using my phone in a moving car. In iOS 18, turning on vehicle motion cues are really useful. And you can configure it to turn on automatically when it detects motion.”
