There has been a lot of buzz around the launch of iOS 13 and
iPadOS 13. Just over a month after the launch of this operating system, there
were several updates released. The latest update is iOS 13.2. While core
features in this update remain the same as the ones present in basic iOS 13,
there are some new features which are as good as the most talked about features
of the iOS 13.
In this article, we are going to discuss the best hidden
features of iOS 13.
Optimized battery charging
Charging your battery to full and keeping it connecting with
the charging cable for prolonged period of time can cause damage to your
battery. There is an option in the iOS 13 that can be helpful in prolonging the
battery life by learning your phone charging habits. This way, the battery
doesn’t immediately charge to 100%.
If you connect your phone to charging cable at night before
going to sleep, you can activate and optimize the feature of Optimized Battery
Charging. Your phone’s battery is going to stay at 80% for most of your night.
The last 20% will be completed right before your phone’s alarm. You use this
feature by going to Settings > Battery > Battery Health
and turn it on.
New scroll bar
The default browser in the iPhone is Safari. An added
feature in this browser is the new scroll bar which helps you scroll your
webpage in an efficient and more effective way. You will find it on the top
right side of the page.
Scanning documents in the Files app
The Files app in the iOS 13.2 is revamped and it now lets
you scan your documents easily. You can open the Files app and select the
Browse tab. Then you will need to tap the three-dot icon which is going to
bring up the option of Scan Documents. You will have to hold the phone over the
document you want to scan. The image will be captured automatically and the
document will be scanned.
iMessage search
There had been the option to search available in the
iMessage app but it didn’t actually work in the past. This option now works
pretty well after your phone get iOS 13.2. You can now search for a single word
or phrase. And the results are displayed instantly.
Searching with your voice
Apple’s own apps which use search bar to allow users to
search through those apps now also have a microphone icon on the far-right side
of the search field. It means that you can use voice commands to search through
those apps.
Sharing photos with or without location information
When you take photos, the photos get geo-tagged. However,
you get the option to share those photos with or without location information
over social media.
New volume indicator
Another great feature in the iOS 13 is the new volume
indicator. The new volume indicator doesn’t take much of the mobile screen.
When you set the volume up or down, it is show in a slim bar that appears on a
side of the screen.
