5 Free iPhone Tricks Most People Don’t Know About

Your iPhone can do way more than you think. Here are 5 tricks that cost nothing:

1. Custom Font Keyboard

Download BubbleText Keyboard (free, 1.4 MB) and type in bubble fonts anywhere — texts, Instagram, WhatsApp. Your friends will ask how you did it.

2. Back Tap

Settings → Accessibility → Touch → Back Tap. You can double or triple tap the back of your phone to trigger any action.

3. Hidden Level Tool

Open the Measure app and swipe to Level. Instant spirit level.

4. Drag and Drop Between Apps

Hold an image in one app, swipe to another app with a different finger, and drop it in. Works with text too.

5. Silence Unknown Callers

Settings → Phone → Silence Unknown Callers. Spam calls go straight to voicemail.

The best iPhone features are the ones Apple doesn’t advertise. Start with the keyboard — it’s the one you’ll use every day.
