Apple launched iPhone’s latest baby, the iPhone 12, last year, and created a lot of buzz around the new smartphone. To unlock the full potential of the device, you should get versed with these amazing hacks…  

The new iPhone 12 is made of stuff tech freaks dream of. From the A14 bionic processor to the decked up cameras at the back, and from being 5G ready to the super retina XDR display, there are plenty of drool-worthy features that make the iPhone 12 worth your money (even if it is a small fortune). But apart from the visible upgrades, there are a few features that you need to unlock. And after the end of this article, you will be able to take advantage of the phone that’ll help make it use more conveniently.

1. Dark Mode On

• This element on the new phone is pretty handy with its Super Retina XDR OLED display.
•  The dark mode can save a lot of battery juice, taking advantage of the display by turning off the dark pixels.
• Since apps like WhatsApp, Facebook, Twitter and others have their own dark modes; it’s more feasible for you to switch to dark mode for the phone too.
• You can go to Settings > Display & Brightness to turn the dark mode on.

Tap It

• The iPhone 12 and the other iPhones with glass backs have got a very interesting new accessibility shortcut.
• You can now simply double/triple tap on the back of your iPhone to enable custom shortcuts or actions.
• Like taking a screenshot to locking the phone, you will have options aplenty.

• To activate, go to Settings > Accessibility, look for“Touch” under “Physical And Motor”, scroll to the bottom and select Back Tap, then tap Double Tap or Triple Tap to pick an action from the list.

3. Shoot Dolby Vision Videos

If you like to capture videos, be it a prank or for professional work, then this feature will tickle your creative bones! To enable Dolby Vision recording, Go to camera settings and enable it under “Record Video” section and toggle HDR Video.

4. Work It With One Hand

Large screen phones might be good for better visibility, but when it comes to using them with one hand, it might be a pain in the… hand. But not with the new iPhone, as the Reachability option is here to help people make full use of the large screen. With the use of this feature, you can bring items from the top of the screen to the lower half of the screen. To set it up, go to Settings > Accessibility > Touch then turn Reachability on by clicking the toggle..

5. Translate

The Translate app on the iPhone 12, and for iOS 14 users, can translate 11 languages as of now (that’s a mean feat), but we are sure that more languages will be added over time. This app can come in handy to strike a conversation with someone who speaks a different language.

What’s cool in it is that you don’t need to type as you can use say it via microphone and it will translate it in the desired language instantly.
