So, in order for you to use this phone, you have to learn the navigation gestures, which is mainly going to be swiped all the way up to go to the home screen, or you can just swipe to the sides to jump between apps and if you want to close the app or view all the apps that you have open, you can just swipe up and then to the side, then you're going to have all the apps that you have opened, and you can quickly close them by just swiping up so to access your control center you're going to have to swipe down from the corner of the screen and as you can tell how the control center opened and to access to its quick settings, all you have to do is long press on whatever you want to look at. So, for example, let's look at volume, you long press, and it's going to give you this option to set your volume up or down. If you go to this menu, it's going to expand and give you even more options where you can once again long press and have even more options.

Next up, I'm going to show you two different ways where you can activate your dark mode. The first one is going to be through the settings where you can just swipe down long press on the brightness and right here at the bottom you're going to see dark mode. So you just select that, and it's going to activate it automatically and the other way you can do this is by just going to your settings as you can see that I'm at right now and just go all the way down to display and brightness. Once you're there you're going to see light or dark mode, and you can also set a timer for your dark mode by just going to this toggle right here, where it says automatic. You have to press on it and that's going to give you an option where you can select, if you wanted to put it as sunset, to run to sunrise or just a custom schedule where you can select the time pm am and whatever you feel like doing and now for the next trick.

We're going to go back to your control center, and you're. Gonna. Have all this space right here empty that you can actually customize so to customize your control center? All you're going to have to do is go to your settings, and then you're gonna head to control center. Once you're there you're going to see all the options that you can add by just pressing the plus sign. Next up, I'm going to show you a quick way that you can read or scan a qr code by just going to your control center you're, going to see this option right here, and it's going to open this camera automatically, where you can just scan the code and to activate it.

You have to go to settings and in control center customization, as I showed you before. You're going to see the option right here at the bottom, so you just add that and that's going to be all and next up we're going to have the screen recording that is gonna, be also in your control center, and you can add it by doing the same thing. So just go to your settings, go to control center, and you should see a screen recording right here at the bottom, where you can add it and whenever you press on it, it's going to give you a counter of three seconds and then the screen recording is going to start in order to stop it. You just have to press again and that's going to be safe to your photos. Next up we're going to have this interesting feature where you can have your phone read the screen for you by just swiping with your two fingers, and you can activate this by just going to your settings and once you're there you're going to head all the way down to accessibility, spoken content and right there you're going to have the option that is going to say it's peak screen.

So, basically, if you swipe down with your two fingers from the top of the screen to hear the content of the screen, so you just activate it or deactivate it depending on what you want to do and right here in the same menu, you can customize the voices that you're going to use the speaking rate and also pronunciation, and the next few tricks are going to be based on the camera, the first one being how to upgrade your camera settings whenever you're recording a video and to do this, you have to go to your video and just tap above, and you can see that this is going to change. For example, right now it's in 4k, and if I tap it again, it's going to go to HD same for the frames per second right on the side and on the regular camera menu you're, going to see all the options right here. But actually, if you swipe up you're, going to see even more options as flash as live mode, you're also going to have exposure the timer and filters as well, and you can just access to this feature by just swiping up or just pressing the arrow above your camera. You can also access to your zoom features by just pressing the one times and just moving it around you're going to have the 0.5, which is going to be the 13 millimeter lens, or you can just go by the regular, which is 26, millimeters or just go with your zoom, and you can also use your volume up button in order to take a video, as you can tell, it's recording a video without me pressing the button and once you're done, you just release it, and it's going to stop next up. You can also take pictures, as you record your videos, as you can tell I'm recording a video right now and if I want to take a picture out of it, you don't have to actually screenshot, as I just did.

All you can do is press this little white circle right here at the bottom, and it's gonna automatically take a picture for you, and it's gonna, save it on your gallery and also, whenever you're, about to take a selfie picture. You're going to have the option to set it up as a mirror mode. So this is basically how a regular picture would be taken from your iPhone. But if you take it with the mirror camera feature, it's going to look the other way around. As you can tell, you can't read the words of the camera, but if you go to the previous one, you're going to see it right here and to activate this all you're going to have to do is go to your settings once in settings.

You're going to go all the way down to camera and writing camera you're, gonna, activate or deactivate the option of the mirror front camera. Also, let's say that you want to leave a certain feature on your camera, always on so, let's say that I always want my camera to be at a five times zoom. Whenever I open it, as you can tell that's, not going to happen, but you do have an option on your settings where you can preserve the camera settings by just going to settings once again. You're gonna, head to your camera, and you're gonna, go right here where it says, preserve settings. So right here in preserve settings, you just have to activate the camera mode.

Creative controls, exposure adjustment, since all of that is gonna, be the settings. So just read all of these and select which one you prefer, for example, if I want my camera to always show on video instead of photo, I just swipe to video. I closed it and once I open it back, it's going to show up in video again and then the same thing is going to happen. Whenever I do any of the exposure settings, let's say that I'm going to do an exposure plus 2, I'm going to close the app open, the camera back up, look on exposure, and it's going to be plus two and next up is gonna, be how to record a video with any emoji that you have on your phone, and you can do this by just going to your clips app on your phone and right on camera. You're going to see a little star right here at the bottom, where you can select any of the animations that you have on your phone and now also on your new iPhone.

You can search the emergence instead of just going through the different categories. Furthermore, you can always use access to your emoji's keyboard and just type down the word. For example, I'm going to put smile, and it's going to show me this bunch of smiley emojis or that's right wine. It's going to pop up with two different emojis, that's going to make it way easier for you to find them. You can also learn how to use this space navigation instead of just going with your finger through several words.
