从表面上看,iOS 15 似乎是对 iPhone 的一次小更新,只有Focus和SharePlay等少数功能抢了风头。它甚至看起来和它的前身一样,对吧?但事实是,iOS15 包含大量令人兴奋的底层调整和增强功能。
如果您刚刚升级到 iOS 15 或购买了新 iPhone,以下提示和技巧应该可以帮助您充分利用 Apple 最新的系统软件。
1.重新排列主屏幕应用程序
iOS 14 引入了隐藏和取消隐藏主屏幕页面(hide and unhide Home Screen pages)的功能。在 iOS 15 中,您还可以按照您想要的任何顺序重新排列页面。
只需调出主屏幕管理器(进入抖动模式并点击(Home Screen)Dock上方的圆点条)并在您认为合适的地方拖动页面缩略图。想要第一个主屏幕(Home Screen)页面作为您的最后一个页面?不是问题!
2.删除主屏幕页面
除了重新排列之外,您还可以删除主屏幕(Home Screen)页面。再次(Again),打开主屏幕(Home Screen)管理器并取消选中要删除的页面下的圆圈。然后点击缩略图左上角的 减号图标。(Minus)
不用担心。您删除的页面上的任何应用程序都将继续显示在应用程序库(App Library)中。
3. 编辑或创建焦点配置文件
iOS 15 的焦点是对“请勿打扰”(Do Not Disturb)的全新诠释,有助于根据活动提高焦点。默认情况下,您有四种模式——驾驶、睡眠(Sleep)、个人(Personal)和工作——您可以通过控制中心(Control Center)激活它们,并且您可能已经在使用它们。但您可能不知道的是,您可以编辑它们或从头开始创建自己的Focus配置文件。(Focus)
为此,请打开“设置”(Settings)应用并点击“焦点”(Focus)。然后,您可以选择现有的焦点进行编辑,或点击自(Custom)定义从头开始创建自定义焦点。
此外,不要忘记使用自动化触发器根据时间、位置和应用程序使用情况来激活焦点。(Focus)
4.将 Safari 地址栏(Move Safari Address Bar)移至顶部(Top)
Safari在 iOS 15 中经历了几次彻底的设计更改。最重要的是屏幕底部的浮动地址栏。如果你不喜欢这样(你并不孤单!),你可以快速回到以前的样子。
为此,请打开“设置”(Settings)应用并点击Safari。然后,向下滚动到Tabs部分并选择Single Tab。
Safari的其他方面也是可定制的。例如,您可以点击起始页中的(Start Page)编辑(Edit)按钮来添加和删除部分(例如收藏夹、隐私报告(Privacy Report)和阅读列表(Reading List))或更改背景图像。
5. 在 Safari 中拉动刷新
借助iOS 15 中的Safari,手动重新加载页面现在变得轻而易举。只需(Just)向下滑动并释放。完毕!
6.从照片中复制文字
在 iOS 15 中,您的 iPhone 足够智能,可以检测照片中的文字。Apple将该功能称为Live Text。只需(Just)双击图像中的一个单词,您就可以像常规文本一样选择它(以及周围的文本)。然后,您可以将文本复制并粘贴到任何应用程序中。
借助 iOS 15 的数据检测器,实时文本(Live Text)还允许您执行快速操作,例如拨打电话或将联系人添加到您的地址簿。为了让事情变得更好,您甚至可以与相机取景器中的文本进行交互。很酷(Pretty),对吧?
7. 将文本扫描到文本字段中
iOS 15 还允许您将文本扫描到任何文本字段中。只需(Just)点击文本字段并选择“扫描文本(Scan Text)”选项。然后,您可以将相机的取景器指向您要插入的文本,iOS 将自动填写该字段。之后您可以编辑文本。
8. 设置通知摘要
您是否讨厌不得不浏览大量通知?iOS 15 通过从 iPhone 上最重要的应用程序中提取通知来帮助您。
只需前往设置(Settings)>通知( Notifications)>计划摘要(Scheduled Summary),然后选择您想要包含的应用程序。通过指定您希望接收摘要的时间间隔来遵循这一点。
9. 与任何使用 FaceTime 的人聊天
借助 iOS 15,使用非 Apple 设备的朋友和联系人可以轻松参与FaceTime通话。只需(Just)向他们发送一个链接,他们就可以通过任何桌面或移动网络浏览器加入。只需(Just)轻点 FaceTime 中的“创建链接”(Create Link)按钮即可开始使用。
10. 离线使用 Siri
下次您失去互联网连接时,别忘了继续使用Siri。它现在可以离线处理不需要从在线资源获取数据的查询。正因为如此,它也明显更快。
了解如何在 iPhone 上设置和配置 Siri((set up and configure Siri on iPhone)如果您还没有的话)。
11. 随处翻译文本
在 iOS 15 中,您不必使用常用的翻译(Translate)应用程序来翻译来自其他应用程序的文本。相反,您可以在任何应用程序中本地执行此操作!因此,例如,如果您想在消息(Messages)应用程序中翻译一条消息,只需长按并点击翻译(Translate)。您还可以在Safari中翻译选定的文本部分。
默认情况下,您的 iPhone 会将文本发送到Apple服务器。但您也可以在本地 iPhone 上进行翻译。为此,请转到“设置”(Settings) > “翻译(Translate)”并关闭“设备上模式(On-Device Mode)”旁边的开关。它不太准确,但速度更快,更私密。
12. 使用 iCloud 私人中继
如果您为 iCloud 存储付费,iOS 15 会自动将您升级到 iCloud+。它的主要优点是能够使用称为 iCloud (Chief)Private Relay的功能屏蔽您的 IP 地址和加密数据。
前往“设置”(Settings) > “ Apple ID ” > “ iCloud ” > “ iCloud Private Relay ”,然后打开“iCloud (iCloud Private Relay )Private Relay ”旁边的开关。您可能会注意到网速较慢,但它确实有助于保护隐私。
13.在照片应用程序中检查(Photos App)图像详细信息(Image Details)
有没有觉得需要检查图像的元数据(check an image’s metadata)?Apple 最新的系统软件让这变得非常简单,不像以前的 iOS 迭代,你必须依赖第三方应用程序。
只需在照片(Photos)应用程序中向上滑动图像即可查看详细信息。如果需要,您还可以点击调整(Adjust)以更改图像的时间和位置。
14.隐藏您的电子邮件
订阅网站和服务时,您不必冒险泄露您的电子邮件 ID。相反,您可以创建一封随机电子邮件,然后将邮件转发到与您的Apple ID关联的地址。设置和使用都很简单。
只需前往设置(Settings)> Apple ID > iCloud >隐藏我的电子邮件( Hide My Email)。然后,点击创建新地址(Create new address)以设置新地址。您可以根据需要创建任意数量。关键——你必须有 iCloud+。
15.在笔记中使用(Notes)标签(Tag)和智能文件夹(Smart Folders)
在 iPhone 上使用Notes应用程序时,iOS 15 允许您将标签插入到您的笔记中。您将在笔记(Notes)应用程序的主屏幕中找到一个新的标签(Tags)部分,然后帮助您按标签过滤笔记。这使得管理笔记变得非常容易,所以不要忘记使用它们。
(Tags)除了标签, Notes还支持智能文件夹(Smart Folders)。这些本质上是基于预定义标签不断更新自身的文件夹。点击屏幕左下角的新建文件夹图标,然后选择(New Folder)新建智能文件夹(New Smart Folder)以创建您的第一个智能文件夹。
16.在提醒中使用(Reminders)标签(Tags)和智能列表(Smart Lists)
与Notes一样,iOS 15 版本的Reminders应用程序也允许您在待办事项中添加标签。它甚至引入了智能列表,可按标签和其他条件(日期、时间(Time)、位置(Location)等)过滤任务。只需(Just)在创建新列表时点击“进入智能列表”(Make into Smart List)选项即可开始使用。
17. 接收分离警报
如果您使用多台Apple设备,您可以设置“查找”(Find My)应用程序,以便在您留下任何设备(例如 iPad)时通知您。首先(First),打开查找我的(Find My)应用程序并点击设备(Devices)。然后,选择一个设备,点击“落后时通知” ,然后打开(Notify When left Behind)“落后时通知”(Notify When Left Behind)旁边的开关。
不要忘记通过点击通知 Ne下的新位置(New Location ),为每个设备设置一个安全位置,但在部分除外。(Notify Ne, Except At )
18. 在 Safari 中使用标签组
Safari还使管理大量选项卡变得非常容易。只需调出选项卡切换器并展开屏幕底部的菜单即可。然后,点击新建空选项卡组(New Empty Tab Group)以设置新的选项卡组。
如果您已经打开了多个选项卡,请点击从 xx 选项卡中新建选项卡组(New Tab Group from xx Tabs)选项以将它们立即添加到新组中。
19. 在翻译应用程序中进行实时翻译
iOS 15 的翻译应用程序对(Translate)对话(Conversation)模式进行了重大升级。它会自动执行翻译,无需您或其他人一直点击麦克风(Microphone)图标。选择“对话”选项卡中的“(Conversation)更多”(More)图标(三个点),然后点击“自动翻译(Auto Translate)”以激活该功能。
20. 自动填写验证码
iPhone 的内置密码管理器可让您方便地自动填写密码。但是对于需要额外身份验证的网站来说,事情并不是那么无缝。幸运的是,在 iOS 15 中,您还可以自动填充验证码。
为此,请转到设置(Settings)>密码(Passwords),然后点击一个条目。然后,点击设置验证码并从您帐户的(Set Up Verification Code)安全(Security)页面 输入站点的设置密钥或二维码。
21. 在语音备忘录中跳过静音
(Voice)长时间停顿的录音可能很烦人。幸运的是,您可以使用iOS 15 中的语音备忘录(Voice Memos)应用程序自动跳过这些部分。只需(Just)点击任何录音下方的选项图标,然后打开(Options)跳过静音(Skip Silence)旁边的开关。
22. 拖放系统范围
iOS 15 允许您在 iPhone 桌面样式上在系统范围内拖动项目。因此,例如,如果您想将照片复制到电子邮件草稿中,只需用一根手指拖动它,用另一根手指切换应用程序,打开草稿,释放!
23.用放大镜放大东西
每当您想看一些微小的东西时,您都不必再四处寻找放大镜了。iOS 15 带有一个新的放大镜(Magnifier)应用程序,可让您快速放大内容。当然,iPhone 以数字方式增强了图像,所以预计事情会有点模糊。
24. 在锁定屏幕上使用 Spotlight
在 iOS 15 中,您无需进入主屏幕(Home Screen)即可开始使用Spotlight。相反,只需向下滑动锁定屏幕(Lock Screen)即可立即调用它。这使得搜索和打开应用程序、网站和文件的速度更快。
25.从Spotlight拖放(Drag)应用(Drop Apps)程序(Spotlight)
在多个主屏幕(Home Screen)页面之间移动应用程序可能很乏味。这就是 iOS 15 的Spotlight被证明有用的地方。只需(Just)搜索一个应用程序并将其拖到主屏幕(Home Screen)中即可。
26. 通过应用更改文本大小
在 iOS 15 中,您可以通过应用更改文本大小。为此,请打开“设置”(Settings)应用并转到“控制中心(Control Center)” 。然后,将文本大小(Text Size)控件添加到控制中心。
然后,您可以在查看任何应用程序时使用文本大小(Text Size)控件来管理文本大小。只需(Simply)长按控件并使用滑块调整文本。然后,将滑块从All Apps拖动到[App Name] Only。
27. 临时 iCloud 存储
如果您要升级到新 iPhone(upgrade to a new iPhone),iOS 15 让您将所有数据上传到 iCloud,而无需支付额外的存储空间,从而使迁移过程更容易进行。然后,您可以在 21 天内使用备份设置新 iPhone。相当(Quite)慷慨的苹果(Apple),对吧?
打开“设置”(Settings)应用,然后转到“通用(General)” > “传输或重置 iPhone(Transfer or Reset iPhone) ” 。然后,点击准备新 iPhone(Prepare for New iPhone)部分下的开始(Get Started)使用,将您的数据上传到 iCloud。
继续挖掘
上面的列表无论如何都不是详尽的。只要继续使用 iOS 15,您就会发现更多改善 iPhone 体验的方法。此外,不要忘记让您的 iOS 设备保持最新(keeping your iOS device up-to-date)以减少错误和其他问题。
25+ Best iOS 15 Tips and Tricks
Оn the surface, iOS 15 appeаrs to be a minor update to the iPhone, with just a handful of featureѕ such as Focus and SharеPlay stеaling the limelight. It even looks the same as its predecessor, right? But the fact is that iOS15 contains loads of exciting under-the-hood tweаks and enhаncеments.
If you just upgraded to iOS 15 or got yourself a new iPhone, the tips and tricks below should help you get the most out of Apple’s latest system software.
1. Rearrange Home Screen Apps
iOS 14 introduced the ability to hide and unhide Home Screen pages. With iOS 15, you also get to rearrange pages in any order you want.
Just bring up the Home Screen manager (enter jiggle mode and tap the strip of dots above the Dock) and drag around the page thumbnails as you see fit. Want the first Home Screen page as your last? Not a problem!
2. Delete Home Screen Pages
Rearranging aside, you can also delete Home Screen pages. Again, open the Home Screen manager and uncheck the circles under the pages you want to remove. Follow that by tapping the Minus icon to the top-left of the thumbnails.
Don’t worry. Any apps on the pages you delete will continue to show up within the App Library.
3. Edit or Create Focus Profiles
iOS 15’s Focus is a fresh take on Do Not Disturb that helps improve focus based on activity. By default, you have four modes—Driving, Sleep, Personal, and Work—that you can activate via the Control Center, and you likely use them already. But what you may not know is that you can edit them or create your own Focus profiles from scratch.
To do that, open the Settings app and tap Focus. You can then select an existing Focus to edit it or tap Custom to create a custom Focus from scratch.
Also, don’t forget to use automation triggers to activate a Focus based on time, location, and app usage.
4. Move Safari Address Bar to the Top
Safari went through several radical design changes in iOS 15. The most significant is the floating address bar at the bottom of the screen. If you don’t like that (you aren’t alone!), you can quickly go back to how things looked before.
To do that, open the Settings app and tap Safari. Then, scroll down to the Tabs section and select Single Tab.
Other aspects of Safari are also customizable. For example, you can tap the Edit button within the Start Page to add and remove sections (such as Favorites, Privacy Report, and Reading List) or change the background image.
5. Pull to Refresh in Safari
With Safari in iOS 15, manually reloading pages is now a breeze. Just swipe down and release. Done!
6. Copy Text From Photos
In iOS 15, your iPhone is smart enough to detect text in photos. Apple calls the functionality Live Text. Just double-tap a word within an image, and you get to select it (as well as surrounding text) similar to regular text. You can then copy and paste the text into any app.
With iOS 15’s data detectors, Live Text also lets you perform quick actions such as placing a phone call or adding a contact to your address book. To make things better, you can even interact with text in the camera’s viewfinder. Pretty cool, right?
7. Scan Text into Text Fields
iOS 15 also lets you scan text into any text field. Just tap on a text field and pick the Scan Text option. You can then point the camera’s viewfinder at the text you want to insert, and iOS will automatically fill in the field. You can edit the text afterward.
8. Set Up Notification Summaries
Do you hate having to wade through lots of notifications? iOS 15 helps you by distilling notifications from the most important apps on your iPhone.
Simply head over to Settings > Notifications > Scheduled Summary and pick the apps you want to include. Follow that by specifying the time intervals you want to receive your summaries.
9. Chat With Anyone Using FaceTime
With iOS 15, friends and contacts with non-Apple gear can easily participate in FaceTime calls. Just send them a link, and they should be able to join via any desktop or mobile web browser. Just tap that Create Link button in FaceTime to get started.
10. Use Siri Offline
The next time you lose internet connectivity, don’t forget to keep using Siri. It now works offline for queries that don’t require data fetching from online sources. Because of that, it’s also significantly faster.
Learn how to set up and configure Siri on iPhone if you haven’t already.
11. Translate Text Anywhere
In iOS 15, you don’t have to use the stock Translate app to translate text from other apps. Instead, you get to do that natively within any app! So, for example, if you want to translate a message in the Messages app, simply long-press and tap Translate. You can also translate select portions of text in Safari.
By default, your iPhone will send the text to the Apple servers. But you can also make translations on your iPhone locally. To do that, go to Settings > Translate and turn off the switch next to On-Device Mode. It’s less accurate but faster and more private.
12. Use iCloud Private Relay
If you pay for iCloud storage, iOS 15 automatically upgrades you to iCloud+. Chief among its perks is the ability to mask your IP address and encrypt data using a feature called iCloud Private Relay.
Go to Settings > Apple ID > iCloud > iCloud Private Relay and turn on the switch next to iCloud Private Relay. You may notice slower internet speeds, but it does help preserve privacy.
13. Check Image Details in Photos App
Ever felt the need to check an image’s metadata? Apple’s latest system software makes that ridiculously easy, unlike previous iOS iterations where you had to rely on third-party apps.
Just swipe up an image in the Photos app to check out the details. You can also tap Adjust to change the image’s time and location if you want.
14. Hide Your Email
When subscribing to websites and services, you don’t have to risk giving away your email ID. Instead, you can create a random email that then forwards messages to the address tied to your Apple ID. It’s straightforward to set up and use.
Just head over to Settings > Apple ID > iCloud > Hide My Email. Then, tap Create new address to set up a new address. You can create as many as you want. The catch—you must have iCloud+.
15. Use Tag and Smart Folders in Notes
When using the Notes app on iPhone, iOS 15 lets you insert tags into your notes. You will find a new Tags section within the Notes app’s main screen that then helps you filter notes by tags. That makes managing notes incredibly easier, so don’t forget to use them.
Tags aside, Notes also supports Smart Folders. These are essentially folders that continuously update themselves based on predefined tags. Tap the New Folder icon to the screen’s bottom-left and select New Smart Folder to create your first Smart Folder.
16. Use Tags and Smart Lists in Reminders
Like with Notes, the iOS 15 version of the Reminders app also lets you add tags into your to-dos. It even introduces Smart Lists that filter tasks by tags and other criteria—Date, Time, Location, etc. Just tap the Make into Smart List option while creating a new list to get started.
17. Receive Separation Alerts
If you use multiple Apple devices, you can set up the Find My app to notify you if you leave any behind—e.g., your iPad. First, open the Find My app and tap Devices. Then, select a device, tap Notify When left Behind, and turn on the switch next to Notify When Left Behind.
Don’t forget to set up a safe location for each device by tapping New Location under the Notify Ne, Except At section.
18. Use Tab Groups in Safari
Safari also makes managing loads of tabs extremely easy. Just bring up the tab switcher and expand the menu at the bottom of the screen. Then, tap New Empty Tab Group to set up a new tab group.
If you already have several tabs open, tap the New Tab Group from xx Tabs option to add them instantly to a new group.
19. Live Translate in Translate App
iOS 15’s Translate app comes with a significant upgrade to Conversation mode. It performs translations automatically without you or the other person tapping the Microphone icon all the time. Select the More icon (three-dots) within the Conversation tab and tap Auto Translate to activate the functionality.
20. Auto-Fill Verification Codes
Your iPhone’s built-in password manager lets you conveniently auto-fill passwords. But things aren’t as seamless with sites that require additional authentication. Thankfully, with iOS 15, you can autofill verification codes as well.
To do that, head over to Settings > Passwords and tap on an entry. Then, tap Set Up Verification Code and enter the site’s setup key or QR code from your account’s Security page.
21. Skip Silence in Voice Memos
Voice recordings with long pauses can be annoying. Thankfully, you get to skip those parts automatically with the Voice Memos app in iOS 15. Just tap the Options icon beneath any recording and turn on the switch next to Skip Silence.
22. Drag and Drop System-Wide
iOS 15 lets you drag items system-wide on the iPhone desktop-style. So, for example, if you want to copy a photo to an email draft, just drag it with a finger, switch apps with another finger, open the draft, release!
23. Zoom Stuff With Magnifier
You don’t have to dig around for your magnifying glasses anymore whenever you want to look at something tiny. iOS 15 comes with a new Magnifier app that lets you quickly zoom in on stuff. Of course, the iPhone enhances the image digitally, so expect things to be a bit blurry.
24. Use Spotlight on Lock Screen
With iOS 15, you don’t have to enter the Home Screen to start using Spotlight. Instead, just swipe down the Lock Screen to invoke it immediately. That makes searching for and opening apps, websites, and files even faster.
25. Drag and Drop Apps from Spotlight
Moving apps between multiple Home Screen pages can be tedious. That’s where iOS 15’s Spotlight proves to be helpful. Just search for an app and drag it out into the Home Screen.
26. Change Text Size By App
In iOS 15, you can change the text size by app. To do that, open the Settings app and go to Control Center. Then, add the Text Size control to the Control Center.
You can then use the Text Size control to manage the text size while viewing any app. Simply long-press the control and use the slider to adjust the text. Then, drag the slider from All Apps to [App Name] Only.
27. Temporary iCloud Storage
If you’re about to upgrade to a new iPhone, iOS 15 makes the migration process more accessible by having you upload all data to iCloud without having to pay for the extra storage. You can then use the backup to set up the new iPhone within 21 days. Quite generous of Apple, right?
Open the Settings app and go to General >Transfer or Reset iPhone. Then, tap Get Started under the Prepare for New iPhone section to upload your data to iCloud.
Keep Digging Around
The list above isn’t exhaustive by any means. Just keep using iOS 15, and you’ll come across even more ways to improve your experience with the iPhone. Also, don’t forget to cut down on bugs and other issues by keeping your iOS device up-to-date.
