We’re talking about the extremely useful Tips app.
If that rings a bell, that’s because you’ve probably seen (and ignored) it a thousand times.
It’s got a yellow icon with a picture of a lightbulb on.
And you can find it easily by dragging down on your screen and searching for Tips.
“In the Tips app, see collections of tips that help you get the most from iPhone,” Apple explains.
Tips is where Apple includes all of the latest and greatest iPhone hacks from the new iOS update – plus older tricks too.
Right now, the latest version is iOS 16.
To check if you’ve got it, go to Settings > General > Software Update.
A lot of these features could be easily missed, so the Tips app is a great way to find out what’s new.
And it makes you can take advantage of all the upgrades included in the new iOS.
“In the Tips app, you can learn how to personalize your Lock Screen, add widgets, unsend an email, take a screenshot, and much more,” Apple explained, adding that “new tips are added frequently”.
Better still, you can also get notified about new tips arriving on the app.
Go to Settings > Notifications, and then tap Tips below Notification Style.
Now turn on Allow Notifications.
Then you’ll get notified when there’s a clever new tip to learn.
It’s also possible to add tips to your personal Saved collection.
This lets you save especially good tips to easily find them later.
To add a tip, simply tap the bookmark icon.
And if you want to view them, tap < twice, then tap Saved Tips.
You can remove a tip from Saved at any time by tapping the bookmark icon again.
