What Are Your Favorite iPhone Features That You Use Every Day?

Hi everyone! I'm interested in learning how other iPhone users make the most of their devices. What are some of your favorite iPhone features that genuinely make your daily life easier? I'm particularly interested in useful hidden features, privacy settings, and tips for improving battery life. I'd love to hear your recommendations and learn something new from the community!

If spammers have discovered your phone number, you may find this feature useful:


Screen and block calls on iPhone - Apple Support


Create Contacts entries for all the people you know. Then set Call Screening to Ask Reason For Calling. If any person who isn't on your contact list calls, the phone won't ring. It will ask the caller the reason for calling.


Most spammers won't answer. You'll get an unwanted entry in your Recents list, and nothing more. If someone such as a friend or doctor's office who isn't on your Contacts list calls, they will probably leave a message - and then you can get back to them.

Mine are hardware features for the most part. I love the camera control button and the action button (RIP for those getting the Duo). I also use night shift and the automatic switching from dark mode to light mode based on the sun.

Multiple active (and reserve) phone numbers on the same phone.


(i.e. Dual SIM w/ eSIM)

Katana Thanks for sharing! Siri has definitely become an important part of the Apple experience, especially for handling everyday tasks hands-free. I also think Apple's accessibility features deserve more attention because they make technology easier and more convenient for everyone. It's great to see these features continuing to improve!

Servant of Cats’s Oh, that's really helpful! I didn't know the iPhone had this feature. It's a great way to deal with spam calls without worrying about missing important ones. Thanks for sharing this tip!
