There are some amazing iPhone functions that are well-kept secrets. Here are some simple tips and tricks to help you get the most out of your phone.
1. We Can’t Hear You
This hack will allow you to turn your iPhone volume up to eleven. In the music section of settings, you’ll find all the sound equalizers available. When you choose the “Late Night” option towards the bottom, the volume on your phone will instantly increase.
