与其他智能手机相比,iPhone 是一种更简单、更直观的设备。但在屏幕背后,许多出色的功能可以让您更轻松地使用它。iOS 14 的最新更新带来了一系列额外功能,例如小部件和应用程序库(App Library)。
但并非所有功能都会引起轰动。这里有一些新鲜的 iOS14 提示和技巧,可以成为你的最爱。
1.紧凑(Compact Calls)需要更多屏幕空间(More Screen Space)
在我们忘记之前,电话是用来打电话的。但智能手机做得更多。这就是为什么最新版本的 iOS 为所有不占用整个屏幕的呼叫选择了一个紧凑的横幅。
来电和视频通话可以像以前一样全屏显示或仅限于横幅。后者允许您在接听电话之前继续在屏幕上进行操作。
转到Settings > Phone > Incoming Calls > Banner或全屏(Full Screen)。
2. 省时的 3D 触控笔
将类似的应用程序整理到整洁的文件夹中后,您可以使用3D Touch节省一两次点击。当您看到任何带有通知标记的文件夹时,您可以直接转到该文件夹中带有通知的应用程序。
按下文件夹,3D Touch菜单将显示应用程序的名称和通知。点击它以打开应用程序。
Settings > General > Accessibility > 3D Touc 3D Touch 来更改 3D Touch 的灵敏度。
3.Facetime画中画
Facetime 画中画让您在Facetime 通话(Facetime call)或观看视频时更轻松地进行多任务处理。通话或视频窗口的大小会缩小,然后您可以从主屏幕转到任何其他应用程序。在使用另一个应用程序时调整视频窗口的大小或将其拖动到屏幕上的任意位置。
4.用照片写标题
标题可以帮助您为照片添加上下文。转到照片(Photos)并选择一张照片。向上滑动并写下标题。
5.隐藏你隐藏的相册
如果您的画廊中的隐藏(Hidden)专辑可见,它有什么用?iOS14 可以通过一个简单的拨动开关真正隐藏相册。
前往Settings > Photos > Hidden Album。将开关切换到关闭位置,相册将在您的图库(Gallery)中消失。启用它会使其再次出现。
6.使用音量键(Button)快速拍摄(Shoot Fast)
对音量按钮稍作调整,您就可以更好地捕捉自发的快照或视频。按下音量调高按钮可在连拍模式下(Burst Mode)快速拍摄。按降低音量按钮拍摄视频。在拍摄期间按住它。
但是如何在 iOS 14 中启用这个隐藏技巧,将物理按钮变成相机快门按钮?
- 转到Settings > Camera。
- 启用使用音量调高进行连拍(Use Volume Up for Burst)开关。
这可能比在 iPhone相机(Camera)应用程序上拖动屏幕上的快门按钮更好(而且更快)。
7.上下(Down)滑动快速设置(Quickly Set)闹钟
时钟应用程序进行了微小的改头换面,而闹钟则变得(Clock)更(Alarm)小了。您可能讨厌大滚轮现在不见了。取而代之的是带有计时器的小窗口。这似乎违反直觉,但那个小窗口也像旧的滚轮一样工作,可以让你设置时间。
点击添加新闹钟或编辑现有闹钟后,您可以通过两种方法设置时间。
- 使用数字键盘快速输入警报。
- 点击小时以选择它。当它变成橙色时,您可以像旧滚轮一样在屏幕上滑动手指来选择小时。然后,对分钟做同样的事情。
键盘是输入时间(或使用Siri(Siri) )的最快方式。但也很高兴了解其他选项。
8.点击手机(Your Phone)背面(Back)以更快(Faster)地执行操作
想象一下:在手机背面轻按两次或三次,即可帮助您在 iPhone 上执行快速操作。Back Tap功能是一种辅助功能(Accessibility)工具,但您可以对其进行自定义以控制您的手机。
- 打开Settings > Accessibility。
- 点击触摸(Touch)。
- 滑动到底部并选择Back Tap。
- 点击双击(Double Tap)或三次点击(Triple Tap)以选择一个动作。例如,双击屏幕截图。
提示:(Tip: )您也可以使用自定义快捷方式设置 Back Tap,以实现更强大的自动化(customized Shortcuts for more powerful automation)。
9.更改默认浏览器
Safari长期以来一直是 iOS 设备上的默认浏览器。现在,您可以将浏览器更改为Chrome、Edge或DuckDuckGo。
转到Settings > [Browser] > Default Browser App
提示:(Tip: )您也可以将默认电子邮件客户端更改为Apple Mail或Outlook。
10. 分享一个大概(Approximate Location)的隐私位置(Privacy)
如果没有您的位置信息,某些应用程序将无法运行。但是现在,您可以通过分享大致位置而不是您的精确位置来控制您的隐私。这对于某些应用程序来说可能已经足够了。
- 前往Settings > Privacy > Location Services。
- 选择“共享我的位置(Share My Location)”列表中的应用程序并检查其位置权限。关闭您不想向其发送确切位置的任何应用程序 的精确位置开关。(Precise Location)
11.密码建议提高安全性(Password Recommendations)
安全建议(Security Recommendations)功能类似于对 iPhone 上存储的所有密码的审核。当您的密码出现在可疑的数据泄露中时,它会提醒您。智能手机安全功能(smartphone security feature)还会建议您更改常见且容易猜到的密码。
要启用此功能,请转至:Settings > Passwords > Security Recommendations > Detect Compromised Passwords
12. 使用接触通知保持安全(Exposure Notifications)
由于Covid 大流行(Covid pandemic),Apple已将暴露通知(Exposure Notifications)作为 iPhone 的标准部分。在当地卫生当局支持的国家/地区,这是一项可选功能(自 iOS 13.6 起)。您不必下载任何第三方合同追踪应用程序并担心数据隐私。
- 打开设置(Settings)。
- 向下滑动列表,然后点击Exposure Notifications。
- 点击打开暴露通知(Turn on Exposure Notifications)以进入该功能。
- 单击继续(Continue)并检查它是否在您的国家/地区可用。
- 如果您不想知道您所在地区何时可以进行接触者追踪,请关闭可用性警报。(Availability Alerts)
13.使用翻译应用程序提高您的(Translate App)语言技能(Language Skills)
使用 Apple 自己的翻译(Translate)应用程序,您不会因(外语)单词而迷失方向。您可以使用它将文本和语音翻译成任何受支持的语言。下载语言无需互联网连接。
合成的声音可以说出整个句子,并且可以成为学习外语发音的有用工具。此外,将难读的单词或您最常使用的单词保存在收藏夹(Favorites)中。
这篇Apple 支持文章(Apple Support article)解释了现在可以替代Google 翻译(Google Translate)的应用程序的所有功能。
14. 带着苹果指南旅行
使用地图(Maps)中的Apple 指南(Apple Guides)探索新地点。精选指南为选定城市的所有热点提供建议。您可以保存指南(Guides)并稍后返回,因为它们会经常更新。
更多隐藏功能
想(Want)在 iPhone 上发现更多隐藏功能吗?iPhone设置(Settings)是去的地方。我们在这里介绍的只是一些可以让您在口袋中使用该设备时更高效、更安全的部分。告诉我们您遇到的任何其他 iOS 14 提示或技巧。
14 Best iOS 14 Tips and Tricks
An іPhone is a simpler and more intuitive device than other smartphones. But behind the screen, a lot of grеat features work to make your time with it easier. The latеst update to iOS 14 has brought а slew of extra features like Widgеts and the Αpp Library.
But not all features make a splash. Here are a few iOS14 tips and tricks that are fresh and can become your favorites.
1. Compact Calls for More Screen Space
Before we forget, a phone is meant for calling. But smartphones do so much more. That’s why the latest version of iOS has chosen a compact banner for all calls that don’t take up the whole screen.
Incoming phone calls and video calls can be displayed on the full screen like earlier or limited to a banner. The latter allows you to keep doing stuff on the screen before you answer the phone.
Go to Settings > Phone > Incoming Calls > Banner or Full Screen.
2. A Time-Saving 3D Touch Tip
After organizing similar apps into neat folders, you can save yourself a click or two with 3D Touch. When you see any folder with a notification badge on it, you can directly go to the app with the notification within that folder.
Press on the folder and the 3D Touch menu will display the name of the app with the notification. Tap it to open the app.
You can change the sensitivity of your 3D Touch by going to Settings > General > Accessibility > 3D Touch.
3. Facetime Picture-in-Picture
Facetime Picture-in-Picture makes multitasking a lot easier while on a Facetime call or watching a video. The call or the video window shrinks in size and you can then go to any other app from the home screen. Resize the video window or drag it anywhere on the screen while working on another app.
4. Write Captions With Photos
A caption can help you add context to your photos. Go to Photos and select a photo. Swipe it up and write a caption.
5. Hide Your Hidden Album
What good is the Hidden album in your Gallery if it’s visible? iOS14 has the ability to really hide the album with a simple toggle switch.
Go to Settings > Photos > Hidden Album. Toggle the switch to the off position and the album will disappear in your Gallery. Enabling it will make it reappear again.
6. Use the Volume Button to Shoot Fast
A small tweak to the volume buttons and you could become better at capturing spontaneous snaps or videos. Press the volume up button to take a quick shot in Burst Mode. Press the volume down button to shoot a video. Keep it pressed for the duration of the shoot.
But how do you enable this hidden trick in iOS 14 which turns a physical button into a button for the camera shutter?
- Go to Settings > Camera.
- Enable the Use Volume Up for Burst switch.
This could be better (and faster) than dragging the on-screen shutter button on the iPhone Camera app.
7. Swipe Up and Down to Quickly Set an Alarm
The Clock app has got a tiny facelift and the Alarm has got a bit tinier. You may hate that the large scroll wheel is gone now. Instead, there’s the tiny window with the time counter. It seems counter-intuitive but that tiny window also works like the old scroll wheel that allowed you to set the time.
You can set the time with two methods after you tap to add a new alarm or edit an existing one.
- Use the number keypad to enter the alarm quickly.
- Tap on the hour to select it. When it turns orange, you can swipe your finger on the screen like the old scroll wheel to select the hour. Then, do the same for the minutes.
The keypad is the fastest way to enter the time (or use Siri). But it’s good to know about the other option as well.
8. Tap the Back of Your Phone to Perform Actions Faster
Imagine this: a simple double or triple tap on the back of a phone helps you perform quick actions on your iPhone. The Back Tap feature is an Accessibility tool, but you can customize it to control your phone.
- Open Settings > Accessibility.
- Tap Touch.
- Swipe to the bottom and choose Back Tap.
- Tap Double Tap or Triple Tap to pick an action. For instance, use a double-tap for a screenshot.
Tip: You can set up Back Tap with customized Shortcuts for more powerful automation too.
9. Change the Default Browser
Safari has been the default browser on iOS devices for a long time. Now, you can change the browser to Chrome, Edge, or DuckDuckGo.
Go to Settings > [Browser] > Default Browser App
Tip: You can change the default email client to Apple Mail or Outlook too.
10. Share an Approximate Location for Privacy
Some apps will not work without your location information. But now, you can control your privacy by sharing an approximate location instead of your precise location. This may be enough for some apps.
- Go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services.
- Choose the apps on the Share My Location list and check their location permission. Turn off the Precise Location switch for any app you don’t want to send your exact location to.
11. Better Security With Password Recommendations
The Security Recommendations feature is like an audit for all passwords stored on the iPhone. It will alert you when your password has appeared in a suspected data breach. The smartphone security feature will also suggest you change passwords that are common and easy to guess.
To enable this feature, go to: Settings > Passwords > Security Recommendations > Detect Compromised Passwords
12. Stay Safe With Exposure Notifications
Thanks to the Covid pandemic, Apple has made Exposure Notifications a standard part of the iPhone. It is an opt-in feature (since iOS 13.6) in the countries where it is supported by local health authorities. You don’t have to download any third-party contract tracing app and worry about data privacy.
- Open Settings.
- Swipe down the list and tap on Exposure Notifications.
- Tap Turn on Exposure Notifications to get into the feature.
- Click Continue and check if it is available in your country.
- Toggle off Availability Alerts if you don’t want to know when contact tracing is available in your area.
13. Improve Your Language Skills With the Translate App
With Apple’s own Translate app you won’t be lost for (foreign) words. You can use it to translate both text and voice into any of the supported languages. There’s no need for an internet connection for downloaded languages.
The synthesized voice can speak entire sentences and can be a useful tool to learn pronunciations in a foreign language. Also, save difficult words or those you will use most often in Favorites.
This Apple Support article explains all the features of an app that’s now a viable alternative to Google Translate.
14. Travel With Apple Guides
Explore new places with Apple Guides in Maps. The curated guides offer recommendations on all the hotspots for selected cities. You can save the Guides and return to them later as they will be updated frequently.
