These iPhone keyboard hacks from an ex-Apple worker will make your screen life easier
NY Post
Here’s an easy way to impress the folks at the Genius Bar.
A former Apple employee is sharing easy-to-do keyboard hacks that make typing — especially when it comes to numbers — much more seamless for users.
In a TikTok clip viewed 17 million times, techie-turned-musician Tyler Morgan shows off features hiding in plain sight that enable things like a shortcut to the numbers keyboard.
He also showed a fun “Harry Potter” command that Siri will use to turn your flashlight on and off as well. Just say “Lumos” — which is a Hogwarts spell for creating light, such as on the end of a wizard’s wand — and your iPhone flashlight will turn on. Conversely, saying “nox” — which would extinguish the wand’s light — will magically turn off your flashlight.
Users can also ask Siri to identify songs playing in the background.
In another video, Morgan additionally demonstrated that you screenshot an entire web page — not just the small portion visible on your screen. After taking the shot, there is an option at the top right portion of an iPhone screen to create and save a PDF of it: Just tap “Full Page” to the right of the “Screen” tab.
