I agree. I just asked my phone who it belonged to and it said it didn’t know. I
have identified myself to Siri in settings so I don’t know what’s wrong.

Subject: Re: iPhone tricks, siri identifying iPhone
Unless I'm missing something, that trick is a bit misleading: you have to have
identified yourself as you in settings/contacts under info, as well as in info
in Siri settings, in order for this to work.

`Hi,
As far as I can judge, most of these gestures are available to us as VO
users, most of the time, when they say "hold" we use the pass-through (AKA
double-tap and hold) to obtain the required result. So, for example, in Safari,
for a quick way to the desktop site, go to the address bar, flick to "reload"
then double-tap and hold on that and a pop up appears offering the desk-top
site. I can find only one that doesn't have its equivalent, non VO users can
close, in the app switcher, multiple apps by flicking up with 2 or 3 fingers, i
tried it with 4, but no go! Has anyone found a way to do this using VO?
Thanks, Sandy.

Okay, one of the features here that grabbed my attention was the unread
mailbox. I thought that was cool and all, but I’m terrible about deleting
messages, so I had over 5000 unread with 2 accounts. ;) This unread mailbox
doesn’t work for me. However, I noticed there are several more options of
bonus mailboxes, like today. This one is excellent for me and may just help me
keep my inbox more tidy!
Thanks BGR! Hope y’all find some features you didn’t know about.
Enjoy,

25 hidden iPhone features that are really, truly hidden
How many times have you seen posts on tech sites about “hidden iPhone
features” and thought to yourself, these tricks aren’t really hidden at all.
We’ve even had a few articles here on BGR with tips that were indeed unknown to
most users, but the savvy iOS device owners out there were undoubtedly familiar
with at least a few of them.
Well, in this piece we’re going to tell you about 25 hidden features that
are really, truly hidden. As in, you could look through your iPhone from now
until the end of time and you wouldn’t find any of these tricks unless you know
what you’re looking for.
DON’T MISS: The math they don’t want you to see: iPhone carrier trade-ins
are always a bad idea
In the past, many of the hidden tips we’ve seen on sites and even covered
here are simply things that are buried in the Settings app in places people
normally wouldn’t look. These are great things to know — plenty of people would
make their camera flash blink with incoming messages if they knew that they
could, for example — but they’re not really “hidden” or “secret,” per se.
Each of the tips that follow below, however, are completely hidden. There
is no indication that these functions exist in iOS, and we guarantee that most
users don’t know about them. In fact, we also guarantee that even the savviest
iPhone owners among you will find at least one or two things you didn’t already
know. In fact, ran this list past a friend who works at Apple and there were a
few things that even he didn’t know.
Enjoy.
Redial: In the Phone app, press the green call button on the keypad
screen to make the last dialed number appear.
Clear cache: Make your iPhone run faster by clearing out the cache in
several of Apple’s apps using a secret trick. In the App Store, Podcasts,
Music, Game Center and Phone apps, tap on any single tab icon at the bottom of
the screen 10 times in a row.
Make TouchID work faster: Save the same fingerprint multiple times as
different entries and TouchID will work much faster. This is especially useful
on older phones like the iPhone 6 and iPhone 5s.
Spotlight conversions: Remember when we told you how easy conversions are
in our post on Google search tricks? It’s even easier for iPhone users — just
open Spotlight and type something like “20 euros in GBP,” and it will instantly
perform the conversion.
Spotlight math: Want to do a quick math problem? No need to open the
Calculator app, just pull down to open Spotlight and type it right there.
Delete numbers in the Calculator: Speaking of the Calculator, you can
delete single digits when you tap the wrong number by swiping left or right on
the screen where the numbers appear.
Clear RAM to make your phone run faster: Hold down the power button until
you see “Slide to power off,” then let go and hold down the home button until
the screen goes blank and your home screen reappears.
Burst mode: Hold down the camera’s shutter button to shoot in burst mode.
Remote shutter: Use the volume up or down button on your headphones to
snap a photo in the Camera app.
Turn the flashlight off: How many times have you turned your flashlight
on and wished that you didn’t have to swipe open the Control Panel again to
shut it off? We’ll save you a step: simply swipe up on the camera icon on your
lock screen and the flashlight will turn off.
3D Touch while drawing: All of the drawing tools and the eraser are
pressure sensitive in the Notes app.
Close multiple apps at once: Double-tap the home button to open the app
switcher and you can use two, even three fingers to slide multiple apps closed
with one swipe.
Recently closed tabs: Want to reread this article on your phone but you
forgot what site you were reading it on in the first place? Simply tap and hold
on the + symbol in Safari on the tab carousel view to open a screen that lists
all of your recently closed tabs.
Desktop version of a site: We all know you can request the desktop
version of a mobile site in Safari but it’s easier to do than you think. Just
hold down the reload button in the URL bar.
Peek at tabs: Not sure you want to open that tab in the Safari tab
carousel? A 3D Touch will let you Peek at it first.
Peek at bookmarks: Did you know you can use 3D Touch to Peek at bookmarks
before you open them?
Edit reminders: 3D Touch an item in your Reminders app to edit the time
or add a location.
View only unread emails: So you don’t practice “inbox zero” like I do but
you only want to see unread emails in your inbox. Tap the Mailboxes link in the
top right corner of the Mail app and then tap Edit. Tap the circle next to
“Unread” and you’ll have a new folder that contains only your unread emails.
Save a draft with one swipe: In the Mail app, tap on the subject line and
swipe down to the bottom of the screen to save a draft.
Quick Reply: When you get a notification at the top of the screen that
you have a new iMessage or SMS, pull the notification downward to reply without
leaving the screen you’re on.
Hidden level(s): Slide to the left in the Compass app open the level.
Then place your phone flat with the screen facing away from the ground to
reveal a bubble level.
Artist Peek: 3D Touch an artist in the Music app to Peek at their music.
Reenable Low Power Mode: When Low Power Mode automatically shuts off as
you charge, you’ll get a notification on your lock screen that it has been
disabled. Swipe left on that notification to turn it back on.
Find an iPhone’s owner: Did you find a lost iPhone in a bar? Simply ask
Siri, “whose phone is this?” and it will show you so you can get in touch with
him or her and return it.
Reachability: This is one of the new iPhones’ best features and there are
still SO many people who don’t know about it. Double-touch (don’t tap, touch)
on the home button and the entire screen will shift down so you can reach the
top without shifting your grip.
