hi everyone aaron here for zollotech and
over the years apple has added hundreds
if not thousands of new features to
iphone and ipad and more and over the
past year they added 300 to 400 new
features and changes with ios 15.
however over the years we may have
forgotten some of the very best ones so
i wanted to go over the five best ios
features you forgot about now the first
one has to do with copying and pasting
copying and pasting is something you
probably are already familiar with but
there's a gesture you may not be
familiar with or you may have forgotten
and you can copy and paste between
multiple devices so let me bring over
the ipad here we'll put down the iphone
and on the ipad i'll open up notes on
the iphone i'll open photos and if we
use three fingers we can pinch with
three fingers to copy and then unpinch
with three fingers to paste so let's go
ahead and copy this image and then we'll
paste it seamlessly over here so we'll
copy
then paste and you'll see it says
pasting from iphone 13 pro max green
let's do that again with the next photo
so we'll copy
then paste and you'll see it's pasting
to the next device so it's seamless over
the network with wi-fi and bluetooth on
you can basically air drop anything from
one device to the other and paste it in
the document you can do the same gesture
if you've you've selected text and more
but it's easier to show of course with
photos so that's what it looks like and
it works seamlessly across devices we
could go from the ipad to the iphone
just use that three finger gesture the
next thing you may have forgotten about
that i'm surprised more people don't
still use is 3d touch if you have an
iphone 10s or older you have 3d touch
that uses pressure in the display to
measure your input to the display so
press and hold on maybe the music icon
and it pops open a sub menu it's sort of
like right clicking on an app icon you
can do this on the latest phones but
it's not the same thing it's not
pressure sensitive it's just waiting for
your finger to rest there and stay there
so haptic press is just done by waiting
so you put your finger on the music app
icon it knows that it's there for a
little bit and then it opens up that sub
menu however with 3d touch again it's
pressure sensitive but you can still do
this today with haptic touch or 3d touch
and get into all of your menus quickly
go into your battery your cellular data
wi-fi or bluetooth by using 3d touch on
settings you can do the same with maybe
weather we can go to the local weather
we could remove the app of course
instead of just pressing and holding and
waiting for everything to jiggle or go
into jiggle mode and then also we could
do that maybe on health or maybe a note
we want to scan a document or a photo
it's just a much easier and quicker way
to get into that specific thing without
going step by step in the note so that's
something i know people are familiar
with but probably forgot about since
they took away the pressure sensitivity
but it works on ipad as well so it's
something that's super useful that
people should definitely use if they're
not already and probably forgot about
now the next thing has to do with mail
under mail if you use apple's mail app
there's a really great gesture that
helps you select multiple mails at once
or email at once go into the mail app
and you may already be familiar with
this where maybe you can swipe the email
off
or maybe you want to select multiples at
once tap on edit then you can either tap
on one individually or drag your finger
well instead of tapping multiple times
to do this just take two fingers and
swipe down on the email so swipe up or
down you can select multiples or
unselect multiples it's super easy and
very simple and straightforward so it's
really great a nice easy way to do that
and it's something i think a lot of
people forgot about not only can you
select multiple mail at once but you can
select multiple apps at once i'm still
kind of surprised how many people don't
realize this is here and i think it's a
great feature that you're missing out on
so i want to share it with you just
press and hold on an app wait for it to
go into jiggle mode and maybe i want to
move a bunch of these apps to another
screen maybe we'll press on
minecraft here so now i'm holding
minecraft let's just tap other apps that
we want to move around with it keep
tapping on the apps and now we can tap
we'll take 10 apps you'll see it says 10
and then we can drag these maybe to the
next screen let go and they all paste
onto the next screen it's an easy way to
move a ton of things at once and again
press and hold and then just tap each
one individually and they'll go into
your sort of stack here and then we'll
drag them back to the other screen and
let go and there you have it so it's an
easy way to move everything around and
hopefully that helps you if you're
trying to move multiple apps at once now
all of us are familiar with screenshots
sometimes we activate them accidentally
and on ios you can actually extend that
screenshot to capture more than what's
just on the screen in safari so if we go
into safari you'll see here we're at
apple's website and as we scroll down
maybe we want all of this information
captured in one single screenshot we can
do that by pressing volume up and the
power sleep wake button of course you
may already be familiar with that but
now tap on the screenshot then at the
top it says full page
tap on full page now we have access to
the entire page for a screenshot so we
do have extended screenshots in safari
and you can see here we can scroll
through all of those different pages and
we now have access to that one feature
you probably forgot about or maybe
didn't even know about is the ability to
fully customize your home screen based
on your location or time of day or even
the app that you open up this is done by
using focus modes now currently you'll
see i have two pages here and they're
just filled with apps in one widget and
if we go into the control center you'll
see that i have do not disturb turned on
if i turn on work i made this as an
example turn on work go back home
and you'll see i only have three widgets
on the home screen i don't have another
screen i just have the app library so
you can fully customize this based on a
couple different settings or parameters
that you set so i have a full video on
how to fully customize this but let me
show you how it works so if we go into
settings within settings if we go to
focus under focus we'll go to work since
that's the example i used
and then you can of course set your
notifications for people and apps but
you also have home screen and even lock
screen customizations so if we go to
home screen
if we turn on custom pages and then tap
on edit pages
we can then actually change what pages
appear when this focus mode is active so
you'll see i have one with just widgets
and then if i want to add more i can do
that or i can add less whatever you'd
like and of course have it change
automatically now i can have it change
based on time of day and more by going
back to where it says turn on
automatically add schedule or automation
if we do that it can be based on time
location or even app that's opened so it
has smart activation so maybe when you
arrive home it can activate a home mode
or when you're off of work when you go
to maybe work or go to a remote place
you can have it activate based on that
so it's super helpful in helping you set
up a focus but also if you just want to
customize your home screen so you can
have many of those set up based on
location time of day and of course like
i said apps that you owe if you go into
safari and maybe you're looking for a
word on a page of course i'm on
apple.com so maybe we'll search for
iphone tap in your address bar whether
you have it on the top or bottom
type in the word iphone
and then you'll see let me type it
properly here
we'll type in the word iphone scroll
down and you'll see it says on this page
find iphone tap on that and you'll see
here that it finds it and highlights it
it says we have three of them so we can
tap the arrow and find the word iphone
so it helps you find those on the page
and it's something i use all the time so
if you're not familiar with it hopefully
that helps you a little bit maybe
finding something also you can customize
settings for each website individually
what i mean by that is if you tap the
two a's here
you'll see that we have website settings
under website settings we have the
option for request
desktop website use reader automatically
and then maybe you're using a website
you don't want them to ever be able to
use the camera or microphone or your
location you can customize it
individually on a website by website
basis so here you'll see i don't want
apple to use my camera or microphone but
they can use my location if they ask if
i go over to google we can change this
here so we'll go to
website settings and under website
settings again maybe i don't want them
to use my location ever you can change
it and now it changes on a website by
website basis so this is something i
think will be very helpful for a lot of
people and hopefully you found it
helpful as well if you have any other
features that you think are great that
people have forgotten about i'd love to
hear from you in the comments below of
