If you’ve recently switched to an iPhone, or maybe you simply want to know how to get more out of your phone, then this article is for you. The truth is that the iPhone is one of the best cell phones on the market for a myriad of reasons. Whether you’ve reached retirement age or you’re in elementary school, there are perks that the iPhone has to offer for your lifestyle. However, not all of it their capabilities may be apparent. Sometimes you need to know the ins and outs in order to get the most out of this powerful tool. Here are some of the best tips for discovering the full potential of your glorious iPhone.

Turn on Focus Mode

Although iPhones are wonderful tools and downright entertaining, sometimes they can be distracting. Sometimes we’re trying to get some work done, or maybe we’d like to read a book without beeps and notifications coming at us from all directions. Rather than allowing yourself to get distracted, consider unleashing the power of focus mode.

Known as the Apple ecosystem, Apple has made it possible to sync all of your devices together. That means you can view your notes from your laptop on your iPhone and vice versa.

Focus mode allows us to keep our phone on yet turn notifications off. The best part is focus mode is entirely customizable. You can allow calls and messages from certain applications and contracts and filter out the rest as you see fit.

Best of all, you can turn on focus mode on a schedule of your choosing. Perhaps there are only certain hours of the day that you need to focus more than others. You can name each focus mode as you see fit to keep them organized, helping you stay on top of your schedule and totally focused on what you need to do when you need to do it.

Track Your Steps

Once upon a time, you needed a specific watch if you wanted to know how much you were moving throughout the day. However, iPhones come built-in with their own fitness tracker. So simply carry your phone in your pocket, and your iPhone will tell you how much movement you’re getting throughout the day.

What’s more, the iPhone can even track your sleep, helping you make sure that you’re well-rested enough. To get the most out of this feature, you can pair it with an Apple Watch, making the reading even more accurate.

Sync With Your Other Devices

Known as the Apple ecosystem, Apple has made it possible to sync all of your devices together. That means you can view your notes from your laptop on your iPhone and vice versa. It’s especially handy for families who want to keep an eye on their children’s whereabouts and activities.

You can name each focus mode as you see fit to keep them organized, helping you stay on top of your schedule and totally focused on what you need to do when you need to do it.

Syncing allows them to monitor their children’s devices, giving them total control and reassurance. Perhaps most reassuring is the “where is my iPhone” setting. You can see where all of your devices are on a map, even devices that have been turned off. In addition, the application will tell you the last place it was connected to the network, helping you locate your device.
