Do more with iOS

iOS is positively packed with efficiency features

-

1 Find your Focus

Focus in iOS makes it easy to draw lines between work and play at specific times or in specific places. You can automate Focus modes in Settings > Focus.

2 Get a summary iOS 15’s summaries bundle notificati­ons together and deliver them to your Lock Screen at the time you specify in Settings > Notificati­ons > Schedule Summary.

3 Use Smart Stacks

Smart Stacks provide context-aware content and links that change throughout the day. Add Smart Stacks by pressing and holding your Home Screen; now tap the ‘+’ icon top left.

4 Search with your voice iOS 15 added a microphone icon to the search field; tap it and dictate your search term instead of having to type it.

5 Grab text from photos Live Text in Photos recognises text and enables you to call a number, add an address to the Contacts app or create a new message to someone’s email. It’s in Photos and Camera too.

6 Use Visual Look Up Visual Look Up, in your Photos app, provides additional informatio­n – so if you want to know more about that bridge, plant, dog or painting just snap it and then tap on it in Photos to learn about it.

 ?? ?? Visual Look Up can tell you more about animals, plants and buildings that you’ve taken photos of.
