9 Things You May Not Know That Your iPhone Can Do

1. Teach Siri Pronunciation 
Sick of Siri pronouncing things incorrectly? Next time she says something wrong, tell her, "That's not how you pronounce X," and then pronounce it for her. She'll give it another try and offer you a few different options for how she now thinks she's supposed to pronounce the word. Choose the one that sounds the best, and Siri will use that pronunciation from now on.

2. Level Up
Need a level for a quick DIY project at home? The compass app on your iPhone has one built in. To use it, open up the compass app on your phone, and then swipe to the left to pull up the level screen.

3. Customised Vibrations
You're not limited to the same vibration for everything. Go into the Settings of your phone and then select Sounds, Vibration, and then Create New Vibration, where you can tap out your own buzzing pattern. You can name your creation and then use it as a vibration alert for anything you'd like. For example, you could have one vibration pattern to signal that you've received a text and another for tweets or emails. 

4. Control Your Camera With Your Headphones
Arms not quite long enough to get the whole family into a selfie? Use your earbuds as a shutter button for your iPhone's camera. Simply open the camera app as normal, set up your shot, and then press the up volume button to snap a pic.

5. Put a Sleep Timer on Your Music
Like to listen to music as you fall asleep? You can use the timer on your iPhone to schedule when your music will stop so that it cuts out soon after you fall asleep. Go to the clock feature on your phone and select Timer. Choose how long you'd like music to play as the length of the timer, and then select When Timer Ends from the page. Next, scroll to the bottom of the list of available alarm sounds and then select Stop Playing. Finally, hit Start on the timer. Now you won't wake up to a flat battery. 

6. Power Up Faster
Have only a few minutes to charge your phone? Put it in airplane mode to make it charge up twice as fast. Since your phone won't have to use any battery to search for and connect to a wireless tower or a Wi-Fi network, it can focus on getting charged up. Airplane mode is also a great way to stretch that last 5 percent of battery life.

7. Show the Time Stamp of Every Text
Struggling to remember exactly when you sent that last text, and if it's too soon to send another one? Slide a text to the left to reveal the time stamp on all of the texts on the screen.

8. Hide Your Messages From Prying Eyes
You can disable the home screen preview for messages so that any nosy screen-lookers see only "iMessage" rather than details about your bedroom activities. Disable preview by going to Settings, Notification Center, and then Messages. In the Messages page, toggle the Show Preview button to the off position. 

9. Remind Yourself to Buy Toilet Paper
iPhone allows you to create a geofence around a particular location, and send you a reminder whenever you pass through its virtual gates. For instance, a fence around your local grocery store can remind you to pick up something while you shop. Set up a geofence by going into your phone's Reminders app, create a reminder, and then tap the "i" beside it. Select "Remind me at a location" from the next page, and then add the address where you'd like to receive a notification and whether you'd like to get it as you're arriving at the place or as you're about to leave. Super handy!
