what's up you guys it's Adrienne welcome back to my channel and welcome back to
another iPhone video big surprise there iOS 12 obviously is the new software
that's been out for a little while now and I wanted to tell you guys about some
of the best features and functions of iOS 12 as well as some of the hidden
features that can absolutely change your life so without further ado if you
aren't subscribed subscribe and let's get into it by the way it's an election
day so I voted I hope you voted that's why I have the sticker on okay so the
first function that I'm sure you've already discovered but if you haven't
it's called the measure app you can use the augmented reality software on your
phone to be able to measure pretty much any surface or object in your house in
your life it's pretty unreal so all you do is open the measure app and here we
have my camera we're gonna measure this screen so it says that's 2 inches by 4
inches let's go see if that's right got my little ruler wait it was not correct
that's supposed to be 11 and 1/2 inches
that's creepy so that's obviously just a really cool
function for anytime you really need to measure anything and you don't have a
measuring tape a ruler and I would be curious to see some of the interesting
ways people are gonna use this app but we won't go there so the next thing is a
new feature in Apple music I actually don't use Apple music I use Spotify
because I don't know it's better but we all know like if you hear a song come on
the radio or you know in a restaurant you don't know what it is you use Shazam
or or snapchat or anything like that to figure out what song it is well have you
ever had a song stuck in your head and you don't remember what song it is so
now you can actually search by lyrics on the music app so basically oh it's
already reminding me I like big butts oops
I can spell in lyrics and then here comes the song baby got back that's cool
you can do this even without a subscription to Apple music which is
nice so if you use Spotify like me but you still want to like use this function
you can so that's really cool so the next feature that you guys probably
noticed on iOS 12 is Notification grouping which is so so so nice cuz I
don't know about you but I get so many notifications and it's
nice to be able to group everything together like all the text together all
the emails everything like that so something that you can now do that you
weren't always able to do well first of all they never had grouping they did a
long time ago I think in iOS 9 and then they got rid of it which was really
annoying so now they have it which is awesome and you can customize all the
settings you want in the notification settings section but you can also 3d
touch on a grouping and then if you push this three dots in the upper right hand
corner these three dots I know grammar so they call this instant
tuning where you can now basically change the notification preferences
right from your home screen rather than having to go into the settings and
change it there and then if you choose to deliver quietly that means that
future notifications will not appear on the lockscreen present banners or make a
sound but they'll still show up in your Notification Center and as a badge app
icon so that's pretty cool and then you can also click deliver prominently to
have them go back to normal if you do choose the quiet mode you can go back to
normal you can also turn them off completely by clicking that that'll just
turn off all notifications for that app and you can also click on settings which
will just take you to the actual settings section so the next little hack
is having to do with Siri and how much Syria has improved so Syria actually
gives you guys some shortcuts that I didn't even realize we're available so
if you go to your settings and type in Siri and then click Syrian search
basically you'll see this little page that says my shortcuts it'll also say
it's suggested shortcuts so basically it'll like ask you if you want to add
shortcuts for things that you do quite often for example if I text my friends
Hayley and Lauren often if I push this plus it'll basically have me record what
I want to say when I want it to do that so let's say I was like text Hayley and
Lauren so now when I say text Hayley and Lauren it'll do it so let's just test
that out hey Siri text Hayley and Lauren
hey it works you can also see what other shortcuts
Siri suggest by clicking see all and it'll basically look at all the apps
you've used and what you use regularly it'll kind of get to know your routines
which is a little bit creepy but also really cool I think you can also add
your own custom shortcuts by downloading these shortcuts app which has a bunch of
different shortcuts you can use I don't use a ton of these personally because a
lot of the apps that they line up with I don't you
very much and like the apps that I use they don't have shortcuts for if you
click on gallery they have shortcuts for all these different things which is so
cool like play a playlist so you can basically use Siri to be like hey play
my playlist but again like it only uses music and I use Spotify so that one I
can't really do but they have a bunch of really cool things
laundry timer like you can set this is a shortcut and it'll like remind you when
you need to go get your laundry so you would just be like hey Siri remind me
when my laundry is done and you can set like the time and all that send yourself
an email containing all of today's meeting information like that's cool
so basically if you make any of those so I made one for share availability so
what this means is if I say hey Siri share my availability it'll basically
prompt me to choose a date and then it'll look at my calendar see when I'm
busy on that day and then devise a text that says when I'm free to something so
let's say I was gonna say tomorrow you would go like that and then let's say I
want it to message it to my mom it would literally tell her when I'm free based
on my calendar so that's like pretty pretty pretty cool while we're on the
topic of Syria and other things here we can now do is tell you your passwords
from your iCloud keychain and all of your stored passwords so instead of
having to go digging for one if you like don't know it and you're trying to get
on on your computer or something all you have to do is say hey Siri show me my
gmail password and then I'm not gonna obviously open this but it'll show you
all your passwords so that's pretty cool the next little hack and trick is in the
Photos app there is now a tab that says for you and this tab not only suggests
when you should maybe share photos with someone who's in the photo or it'll also
suggest like editing things you should do on certain photos so for example it
says sharing suggestions share with Lauren and that's because like we took a
bunch of pictures and they recognizes Lauren which is super cool it's just
nice and convenient they also suggest like certain ways I should edit some
things so it'll say like this one says brighten this portraits photo with
studio lighting I don't want to because it's an ugly picture anyway but I just
think that's kind of cool this won't be like you want to loop this okay the next
one eliminate a lot of problems for people that don't love face ID or have
trouble getting into their phone through face ID so actually
phone with face ID now allows you to have another face toward under face ID I
don't know if anyone knew that but basically if you ran into issues before
it was likely because you had sunglasses on her hat and things like that so
basically your iPhone now allows you to have a second like alternate appearance
so if we go to settings and type alternate go to face ID it says that I
can set up an alternate appearance so I could do that like with sunglasses on
hold on we're gonna do with these sunglasses cuz I wear these a lot and
they never freakin open my phone so here we go alright so let's see if that works
now you didn't see cuz I stopped recording but it worked the next little
trick and hack is really for those little studious intellectual nerds out
there like me who get really frustrated that all that Apple has is a dictionary
and versus a thesaurus so in the past if you highlighted a word and said look up
it would only show you the dictionary definition now it allows you to actually
click and find some Saurus alternate words that you could use instead of ours
so that's just kind of a neat little handy trick the next hack is that you
guys can actually add student IDs to your Apple wallet I know which is super
cool I mean it doesn't mean that you shouldn't have a physical copy of a
student ID obviously you always should but I think it's really neat the fact
that you can add it to a wallet so that when you get discounts at stores or if
you're paying with your ID or whatever you can actually just have it right
there on your phone that would eliminate a lot of the fifteen dollar lost fines
that I got because I kept losing my student ID in college and we would get
charged $15 every time so that was stupid though this would have really
come in handy back then but whatever it's fine next I'm gonna show you how
you can edit photos and put stickers on photos in the messages app so right from
messages if you go to take a photo but you can actually click effects and then
if you click on the filter thing you can like do all these walk you all you can
also put text
yeah arrows or whatever other shapes you want target has stickers that's kind of
cool anyway you get the point there are a lot of different things that you can
do right from here you just click done and last but not least screen time you
guys have probably heard of this this one actually really can change your life
because you can just stay so much more focused on the present and things that
you're doing not on your phone I don't know about you but sometimes I'm just on
my phone so much it actually exhausts and disgusts me and I hate it so this is
super nice that you can actually use this to really monitor your own self I
guess so if you go to screen time you can schedule time away from your screen
which you can set custom times you can have a Plymouth's where you can
basically tell yourself like okay I can only be on this app for an hour a day so
then when your time runs out you literally can't access the app which i
think is really cool of course you can always like take it off which is dumb
but I feel like you wouldn't go through that for because you'd remember that you
weren't supposed to oh like today I spend an hour and 12 minutes on social
networking actually let's see the last seven the fact that in the last week I
spent seven hours on Instagram that's actually sad
that's really sad anyway you can set apps that you want to allow at all times
and you can obviously block any content but I don't know why you would unless
you the kid definitely do that so I just think that's like really cool it just
helps you to be more productive and I think that Apple knows that we are way
too addicted to our devices so it's kind of cool well those are my twelve hacks
for iOS well I hope you enjoyed it I hope they change your life let me know
down below what you think what our favorite one is and I'll see you guys in
my next video thanks so much for watching see you later
