8 Of The Best NEW iPhone Tricks

Whether you just updated your iPhone with the new software or got a brand new 7 today, here are some of the raddest features you need to try.

ONE

You can finally delete most of the Apple default apps you never wanted. Goodbye stocks app!

TWO

If you have an iPhone 6s or new 7, you can use raise-to-wake, which turns your screen on just by picking up your phone. It’s super handy.

THREE

The Photos app gained a lot of tricks, including search. Apple will automatically categorize photos based on what you took a picture of. For example, you can now search for “sunrise,” “tree,” or “couch,” and hopefully find what you’re looking for.

FOUR

Speaking on the Photos app, Apple is also combining photos from events and creating fancy memory videos. You don’t have to do anything, but if you want to change the music, tone, and look you can in a few taps.

FIVE

iMessage has been completely changed with the ability to add other apps, right inside the messages app. Check out the App Store to discover the new stickers and apps.

Also new is the effects like balloons and saying words with emotion.

SIX

If you use Spotify, this doesn’t apply as much, but the new Music app re-design is so awesome. Way better flow and usability.

SEVEN

Worse than phone calls is when someone leaves a voicemail. At least now, there’s a text transcription so you can quickly see what the message is about without having to listen.

EIGHT

If you slide right on the home screen you now see a bunch of widgets. These also live in the notification section and 3D Touch if you have a newer phone. A lot of times you don’t even have to open the app anymore, if there’s a good widget.
