Apple iPhones are people’s favorite smartphone not only because of their premium design and specifications. iPhones also have many features for security and convenience of users. The truth is that people who use an iPhone often use only a small fraction of the device’s features. Let’s get to know some secret features of iPhones that not many people know about (iPhone Secret Features).
Secret button on iPhone
The Apple logo on the back of the iPhone is actually a secret button. By tapping on this logo, you can take screenshots, play music, turn on smart lights at home, and more. To turn on this secret button, go to Settings > Accessibility > Touch > Back Tap. In the window that opens, you can see a list of options that can be enabled by tapping on the Apple logo on the back of the iPhone.
A locked iPhone can also be used
Certain features can be used when the iPhone is locked. You can customize the lock screen and choose what options you want on the lock screen. You can also change your preferences as per need. For this select Face ID & Passcode option in Settings. Select the option “Allow access when locked”. You can choose the options like return missed calls, notification access etc.
The phone can be turned into a hidden microphone

Go to Control Center in Settings to turn on this feature. Now scroll down and tap the Add button (+) next to the Hearing button. Save and close the settings.
Edit photos easily
One of the best features of iOS 16 is the shortcut to apply the same editing to multiple photos. Editing changes to a photo or video can be copied and pasted to another photo or a group of photos at once. To use this feature, open a photo or video and tap on the three dot icon, now just copy edits, select the photos in your library, select the edit option and click paste.
‘Breakup Mode’ on iPhones
The iPhone Photos app contains many pictures of people. Their faces pop up whenever the app is opened. But if the photos you don’t want to see pop up all the time, open that person’s photo and tap the three-dot icon in the right corner. Select the option “Feature this person less” and you will see two options “Feature this person less” and “Never feature this person”. Select the desired option and save.
