iPhone Hacks Video Tutorial 🌸 pt 2

Beyond customizing your iPhone with cool app icons and mastering the Back Tap feature, there are even more practical tips that can truly elevate your daily iPhone use. I've been diving deeper into what my iPhone can do, and wanted to share a couple more discoveries that might just surprise you! Exploring iPhone's "Room Scan" Capabilities Ever wondered if your iPhone could help you measure a room or even create a basic 3D model? While we often focus on aesthetic tweaks, many modern iPhones (especially Pro models with LiDAR scanners) pack incredible "room scan" capabilities. I recently used the pre-installed Measure app to size my living room for new furniture. It’s surprisingly accurate for quick estimates! Just open the Measure app, point your camera, and it quickly measures surfaces – a game-changer for getting wall lengths right. For newer Pro models, the LiDAR scanner allows for more precise 3D mapping and enhanced augmented reality (AR) experiences. You can also find fantastic third-party apps in the App Store that utilize this tech for detailed floor plans or visualizing furniture. It's a practical tool for home projects, and you can even save a "scan" like a detailed Photo – genuinely impressive! Taming Your Digital Space: How to Delete Stubborn Apps We’ve all downloaded an app, tried it, and then it just sits there, taking up space or trying to change your phone's behavior. Like a "launcher" app or a temporary utility, it might feel like it's taken over! I once downloaded a clunky photo editor that cluttered my Home Screen. Getting rid of apps should be straightforward, but sometimes it feels like a small puzzle. Here's my go-to method for decluttering and ensuring unwanted apps are truly gone: Standard Delete: Press and hold the app icon until a menu pops up. Select "Remove App," then "Delete App." Confirm, and it's gone, freeing up space. Offloading for Space: If you want to save storage but might use the app again (keeping its data), choose "Offload App." Go to Settings > General > iPhone Storage, find the app, and select "Offload App." The icon stays on your Home Screen with a cloud symbol, ready to redownload later without data loss. Persistent Apps & Troubleshooting: If an app won't delete or leaves settings behind, check Settings > General > VPN & Device Management for profiles. Also, ensure no restrictions in Screen Time (Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions) are preventing deletion. Cleaning Up Shortcuts: If you created a custom Shortcut to open a deleted app, remember to remove that shortcut too! Open the Shortcuts app, find the old shortcut, and delete it to keep your automation library clean. Keeping your iPhone tidy, both aesthetically and functionally by managing apps, makes a huge difference. These little "hacks" empower you to take full control!
