You can also use the Zoom feature to magnify the screen no matter what you’re doing. You can magnify the entire screen (Full Screen Zoom) or magnify only part of the screen with a resizable lens (Window Zoom). And, you can use Zoom together with VoiceOver.

Adjust Size with Zoom: Allow the pointer to scale with zoom.

To add Zoom to Accessibility Shortcut, go to Settings > Accessibility > Accessibility Shortcut, then tap Zoom.

Double-tap the screen with three fingers or use Accessibility Shortcut to turn on Zoom.

To see more of the screen, do any of the following:

Adjust the magnification: Double-tap the screen with three fingers (without lifting your fingers after the second tap), then drag up or down. Or triple-tap with three fingers, then drag the Zoom Level slider.

How to always zoom in Safari on iPhone, iPad and Mac

Do you have trouble reading small text while browsing the web? Learn how to set up automatic web page zoom for all or specific websites in Safari on your iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

Safari on Mac with huge text on a web page

Sometimes, you may have trouble reading text on specific websites because those sites use tiny font sizes. And if you have a weak eyesight, you may have this trouble on all websites. To address this, you can adjust the font size in Safari. But this isn’t always enough. Maybe the webpage you’re visiting has images that you want to view bigger. Or perhaps the site size overall is just too small.

There’s a wonderful accessibility feature for Safari on both Mac and iOS that lets you zoom to a particular percentage on all sites you visit or only those where you need it. We’ll show you how to enable zoom in Safari in this tutorial.

On iPhone and iPad

For a specific website.

Open Safari and visit the website whose text size you want to increase.
Tap the AA button from the address bar.
Tap the bigger A to increase the text size. 100% is the default .

Increase Page Zoom for a website in Safari on iOS

For all websites

Open Settings and tap Safari .
Scroll down and tap Page Zoom.
Here, you’ll see the specific websites whose text size you have changed following the earlier set of steps. To change one, tap it and choose a new zoom percentage. You can also edit the list of sites on this screen. Tap Edit at the top and then Delete or Clear All Settings .
After specific sites, there is a heading for Other Websites . Here, you can choose a default percentage for all other pages you visit in Safari that isn’t already on your list. Pick a percentage from 50% to 300%.

Visit the site in Safari.
Press the Command + Plus (+) keys to increase the page size.
Or, click Safari next to the top Apple icon and choose Settings for the website name . Now, use the Page Zoom option to set it to an appropriate percentage.

Change Page Zoom for a website in Safari on Mac

Open Safari and click Safari > Settings from the top menu bar.
Go to the Websites tab.
Select Page Zoom from the left sidebar.
Here, you will see your configured websites and currently open websites where you’re using page zoom. You can change their zoom level or remove them.
To set zoom for all other websites you visit that are not already on your list, click the drop-down menu next to “ When visiting other websites ” and pick a level from as low as 50 percent or as high as 300 percent.

Set Page Zoom when visiting other websites in Safari on Mac

Using zoom in Safari is a super simple way to see websites and pages larger and more clearly. And because the setting is so easy to access on all your devices, you can change it back at any time. Just follow the above steps and set the zoom level to 100%, which is the default.

Is the zoom feature in Safari something you’ve tried and would recommend, or are you going to give it a shot for the first time?

How to Zoom Out on Safari iPhone: A User-Friendly Guide

Navigating the digital landscape on your iPhone can sometimes feel like a journey through uncharted territory. But fear not! This guide will be your compass as we explore the simple yet essential task of zooming out on Safari on your iPhone.

Getting Started: Open Safari

First things first, let’s dive into your Safari browser. This is your gateway to the vast world of the internet, and knowing how to maneuver through it is key.

The Magic of Pinch and Zoom

One of the most intuitive features of the iPhone is its touch-responsive screen. To zoom out, simply place your thumb and finger on the screen and move them towards each other. It’s like magic, but better because it’s technology!

Zoom Out Using Settings

For a more tailored browsing experience, you can zoom out via the “Settings” app. Navigate to “Settings,” tap on “Safari,” and then explore the “Settings for Websites” section. Here, you can select “Page Zoom” for more precise control.

A Deeper Dive: Full Screen and Window Zoom

Your iPhone’s Zoom feature is not just about getting a closer look; it’s about getting the right look for your needs. You can choose to magnify the entire screen ( Full Screen Zoom) or just part of it with a resizable lens (Window Zoom).

Enhance Your Reading: Zoom Text Option

If you’re looking to make text more readable, there’s an option for that too. Tap the ‘More’ button in Safari, and select ‘Zoom text…’ to adjust the text size to your comfort.

The Power of Keyboard Shortcuts

For the keyboard-savvy, there’s a shortcut that makes zooming a breeze. Press the “Command” and “-” keys simultaneously to zoom out. This method is ideal for those who prefer a blend of touchscreen and physical keyboard inputs.

Remembering Your Preferences

Convenience is key, and Safari remembers your zoom settings until you clear your history. This means less fiddling and more seamless browsing every time you open Safari.

The Art of Screen Interaction

Interacting with your iPhone screen is an art. The pinch-to-zoom feature is not just functional; it’s a testament to how far technology has come in making digital navigation feel natural and intuitive.

Conclusion: Mastering Safari Zoom

Zooming out in Safari on your iPhone is more than just a function; it’s about enhancing your browsing experience. Whether it’s through a simple pinch, a trip to the settings, or a handy keyboard shortcut, you have the power to view the digital world your way.

How do I reset my zoom settings in Safari? Clear your browsing history to reset to default zoom levels.
Can I set a default zoom level for all websites in Safari? Yes, through the ‘Settings for Websites’ option in Safari settings.
Is there a way to zoom out on all apps, not just Safari? Yes, use the two-finger pinch gesture on most apps to zoom out.
What if the pinch-to-zoom gesture doesn’t work? Check if the screen sensitivity is affected or restart your iPhone .
Can I use zoom out features with external keyboards? Yes, using Command and “-” works with connected external keyboards.

How to zoom in or out in any app on an iPhone using Accessibility features

To do a standard zoom-in on an iPhone , you'll place two fingers on the screen of an applicable app and move them apart, or move them closer together to zoom out.
iOS includes its own built-in zooming options that let you zoom in at any time, which you can activate in your Accessibility settings.
Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories .

Depending on the size of your iPhone's screen, there may be times when you can't quite see the details of what you're looking at.

Whether it's the writing on someone's shirt in an Instagram photo, or the fine print on a webpage, you'll probably need to make use of iPhone's zoom features at some point.

While there's a standard and straightforward way to zoom within certain apps that allow it, if you need more permanent zooming capabilities, you can set your preferences via the Accessibility menu.

Both methods offer the same result, in a sense, and thankfully, they're each easy to use.

Check out the products mentioned in this article:

Iphone xs (from $999.99 at best buy), how to zoom in and out on an iphone in apps that allow it natively.

If you're looking at a photo in your Photos app, using Safari, reading an email, or using many other apps, you can zoom in with just a finger gesture.

To use the standard zoom feature:

1. Within the app you want to zoom in on, place two fingers on the area of the screen you want to magnify.

2. Still applying light pressure on the screen with your fingers, begin to move them apart. The part of the screen beneath your fingers should begin to zoom in as the gap between your fingers grows.

3. If you want to zoom back out, place your fingers on the screen again, and begin to move them closer together. In many cases, you can also zoom out by quickly tapping the screen twice.

Note that this method of zooming does not work in all apps or on all sites. In all other cases, you should use the Accessibility menu.

How to zoom in or out on your iPhone using the Accessibility menu

1. On your iPhone's home screen, tap the Settings app icon to open it.

2. Tap "General," then find the Accessibility menu. Tap it to open the customization options.

3. Tap "Zoom," which will likely currently be marked as "Off."

4. In the Zoom menu, tap the toggle beside the Zoom button so that it appears green, indicating the feature is turned on.

5. Once Zoom is enabled, you can enable and disable it on the fly by double tapping with three fingers anywhere on the screen.

6. If you then tap the "Zoom Region" tab, you can select whether you'd like a "Full Screen Zoom" or a "Window Zoom." Full Screen Zoom will magnify the entire screen at once, meaning that you'll only be able to see part of the screen at any given time. Window Zoom will open a small window that will magnify anything under it. You can drag the window around by pressing the bar at the bottom of it and moving your finger.

7. Double-tapping with three fingers also allows you to resize the Zoom lens, which is set by 5x by default but can be changed to Zoom from between 1x and 15x the normal size. If you're using Window Zoom, you can change your zoom level by tapping the bar at the bottom of the zoom window and use the toolbar in the menu that appears.

Note that you can disable the Zoom feature permanently at any time by toggling the Zoom button so that it's no longer green.

Enable automatic Page Zoom for easier reading in Safari [Pro tip]

By Killian Bell • 1:00 pm, January 13, 2021

Top stories

iOS, iPadOS, and macOS allow you to increase font sizes system-wide so that everything you do is easier to see. You can do a similar thing to make your favorite websites easier to read inside Safari.

We’ll show you how to use Page Zoom in this Safari pro tip.

If your vision isn’t too spectacular, increasing font sizes on your Apple devices can make a huge difference to usability. And when you choose a larger font in your settings, that change extends to many of your apps.

However, a larger system font won’t automatically make webpages easier to read in Safari. There’s another setting for that, and we’ll show you how to take advantage of it.

Enable automatic Page Zoom in Safari

Simply follow these steps on iPhone and iPad:

Open the Settings app.
Tap Safari .
Tap Page Zoom .
Select the Page Zoom preference you would like to use. This will become the default and will apply to all websites.

And follow these steps on Mac:

Open Safari .
Click Safari in the menu bar, then click Preferences…
Under the Websites tab, click Page Zoom .
You’ll see a list of the sites you currently have open, and you can specify a zoom preference for each if you wish. To set a zoom setting for all sites, look for the drop-down box alongside When visiting other websites .

There are a long list of Page Zoom options, from 50% to 300%, with 100% selected by default. We recommend selecting 115% initially, then visiting a site you find difficult to read, and increasing the zoom again if necessary.

Page Zoom can have inadvertent affects on some websites, and the higher your zoom setting, the more likely you are to run into issues. That’s why it’s best to increase zoom incrementally to find what works best for you.

Change Page Zoom on the fly

You might find a Page Zoom setting that works for you but still run into some websites that are too difficult to read. When this happens, you can change Page Zoom for this particular site on the fly.

On iPhone and iPad, simply tap the Aa button in Safari’s address bar, then use the buttons at the top of the menu to adjust zoom. On macOS, tap View in the menu bar when Safari is open, then click Zoom In .

Introduction

Have you ever experienced the frustration of opening Safari on your iPhone only to find that everything is zoomed out, making it difficult to read or navigate? If so, you're not alone. Many iPhone users encounter this issue, and it can be quite perplexing. When Safari is zoomed out on your iPhone, it can hinder your browsing experience and make it challenging to interact with web pages.

The zoomed-out display may cause text and images to appear smaller than usual, requiring you to pinch and zoom repeatedly just to read or interact with the content. This can be particularly bothersome when you're trying to access important information or navigate a website quickly. Understanding the potential reasons behind this issue and learning how to resolve it can significantly improve your browsing experience on Safari.

In this article, we'll delve into the possible causes of Safari being zoomed out on your iPhone and provide practical solutions to address this issue. Whether it's due to accidental gestures, settings configurations, or other factors, we'll explore the troubleshooting steps to help you regain a comfortable and visually optimized browsing experience on Safari. Let's unravel the mysteries behind Safari's zoomed-out display and equip you with the knowledge to rectify this inconvenience.

Possible Reasons for Safari Zoomed Out on iPhone

Accidental Pinch Gesture : One of the most common reasons for Safari appearing zoomed out on your iPhone is accidental gestures. While navigating web pages, you may have unintentionally performed a pinch-out gesture on the screen, causing the content to zoom out. This can happen when you are scrolling or attempting to interact with elements on the webpage, leading to an unintended zoom level that persists across different tabs or websites.

Accessibility Settings : Another potential cause of Safari being zoomed out on your iPhone is related to the accessibility settings. If the Zoom feature is enabled in the accessibility options, it can result in a persistent zoomed-out display when using Safari. This setting, designed to assist users with visual impairments, may inadvertently lead to a zoomed-out browsing experience if activated unintentionally.

Website-Specific Zoom Settings : Certain websites may have specific zoom settings that override the default display on Safari. This can occur if a website is designed to display content at a predetermined zoom level, which may differ from your preferred viewing settings. As a result, when you navigate to such websites, Safari may appear zoomed out, reflecting the website's predefined zoom settings.

Browser Cache and Data : The accumulation of temporary data and cache within the Safari browser can also contribute to the zoomed-out display. Over time, cached data and browsing history may impact the rendering of web pages, potentially leading to a distorted or zoomed-out appearance. Clearing the browser cache and data can help alleviate this issue and restore the normal display of web content.

iOS Software Glitch : In some instances, Safari's zoomed-out behavior on an iPhone may be attributed to software glitches within the iOS operating system. These glitches can affect the rendering of web pages and alter the default zoom level, causing Safari to display content in a zoomed-out manner. Such software anomalies may require troubleshooting steps to rectify the underlying issues and restore Safari's display to its intended state.

Understanding these potential reasons for Safari being zoomed out on your iPhone is crucial in identifying the root cause of the issue. By recognizing the factors that can contribute to the zoomed-out display, you can effectively address the problem and implement the necessary solutions to restore a comfortable and visually optimized browsing experience on Safari.

How to Fix Safari Zoomed Out Issue on iPhone

Resolving the Safari zoomed-out issue on your iPhone involves implementing targeted solutions to address the underlying causes. By following these practical steps, you can regain control over the display settings and ensure a comfortable browsing experience on Safari.

1. Reset Zoom Level

If Safari appears zoomed out on your iPhone, you can reset the zoom level to its default state. To achieve this, double-tap the screen with three fingers. This gesture is designed to reset the zoom level and return the display to its standard view. By performing this action, you can effectively counteract accidental zoom gestures and restore the content to a readable size.

2. Adjust Accessibility Settings

Navigate to the Accessibility settings on your iPhone and review the Zoom feature. If it is enabled, you can disable it to prevent the persistent zoomed-out display on Safari. By adjusting the accessibility settings, you can ensure that the zoom feature does not interfere with your browsing experience, allowing you to maintain a consistent and comfortable display while using Safari.

3. Clear Safari Cache and Data

To address potential issues stemming from cached data and browsing history, consider clearing the cache and data within the Safari browser. Access the Settings app on your iPhone, select Safari, and choose the option to clear browsing data. By removing accumulated cache and data, you can mitigate the impact of stored information on the display of web content, potentially resolving the zoomed-out appearance.

4. Update iOS Software

Keeping your iPhone's operating system up to date is essential for addressing software-related glitches that may affect Safari's display. Check for available software updates in the Settings app under General > Software Update. If an update is available, proceed with the installation to ensure that your device runs the latest iOS version, which may include bug fixes and improvements that can rectify the zoomed-out issue.

5. Reset Safari Settings

Consider resetting the Safari browser settings on your iPhone to restore it to its default configuration. This can be done by accessing the Settings app, selecting Safari, and choosing the option to reset various settings, such as clear history and website data. By resetting Safari settings, you can eliminate potential configurations that contribute to the zoomed-out display, allowing for a fresh start in displaying web content.

6. Restart or Reset iPhone

In some cases, a simple restart of your iPhone can help resolve temporary glitches affecting Safari's display. If the issue persists, you may consider performing a soft reset or a factory reset, ensuring that you have backed up your data beforehand. These measures can help address underlying software anomalies that impact Safari's zoom level, potentially restoring the display to its intended state.

By implementing these troubleshooting steps, you can effectively address the Safari zoomed-out issue on your iPhone and restore a visually optimized browsing experience. Whether it involves adjusting settings, clearing data, or updating the iOS software, these solutions are designed to rectify the underlying causes and ensure that Safari displays web content in a comfortable and readable manner.

In conclusion, encountering a zoomed-out display on Safari while using your iPhone can be a perplexing and inconvenient experience. However, by understanding the potential reasons behind this issue and implementing targeted solutions, you can effectively address the underlying causes and restore a visually optimized browsing experience.

The diverse factors that can contribute to Safari being zoomed out, such as accidental gestures, accessibility settings, website-specific zoom configurations, browser cache and data, and iOS software glitches, underscore the importance of proactive troubleshooting. By recognizing these potential causes, you can navigate the troubleshooting process with a clear understanding of the underlying factors at play.

The practical solutions outlined, including resetting the zoom level, adjusting accessibility settings, clearing Safari cache and data, updating iOS software, resetting Safari settings, and considering device restarts or resets, provide a comprehensive toolkit for addressing the zoomed-out issue. These targeted measures empower iPhone users to take control of their browsing experience and ensure that Safari displays web content in a comfortable and readable manner.

It's important to note that while these solutions are effective in resolving the zoomed-out display on Safari, maintaining a proactive approach to managing browser settings and iOS updates can contribute to a seamless and optimized browsing experience. Regularly reviewing accessibility settings, clearing browser cache and data, and staying updated with the latest iOS software releases can help mitigate the recurrence of such issues in the future.

iOS 17: How to Zoom on iPhone – A Step-by-Step Guide

Zooming on an iPhone with the latest iOS 17 is as simple as a few taps and pinches. You can easily magnify your screen, whether you’re trying to see a photo more clearly or read text that’s just too small. After following these quick steps, you’ll be zooming in and out on your iPhone with ease.

After completing the zoom action on your iPhone, you’ll be able to see content up close, making it easier to read small text or examine details in photos and videos. This feature is especially useful for users with visual impairments or anyone who needs a closer look at their screen.

You can also watch this video about how to zoom on iPhone for more on this topic.

Introduction

In today’s fast-paced digital world, being able to navigate your smartphone effectively is crucial. For iPhone users, mastering the zoom function is a game-changer, especially with the introduction of iOS 17. But why is this feature so essential? Well, think about the numerous times you’ve squinted at your screen trying to read an email or felt the urge to get a closer look at a picture. That’s where zooming in comes into play.

This function isn’t just for the visually impaired; it’s for anyone who uses an iPhone. Whether you’re a student looking at a detailed diagram, a professional reviewing a document, or a grandparent wanting to see a grandchild’s photo more clearly, learning to zoom is a valuable skill. So, let’s break down the steps and make sure you can take full advantage of your iPhone’s capabilities.

How to Zoom on iPhone with iOS 17

Before we dive into the steps, it’s crucial to understand that zooming on an iPhone can refer to two different actions: magnifying the entire screen or just enlarging content like photos and web pages. Both are useful and straightforward.

Step 1: Enable Zoom in Settings

Go to Settings, select Accessibility, then Zoom, and toggle it on. Enabling Zoom in the settings allows you to use this feature throughout the whole system, not just in certain apps. It’s especially handy when you need larger text across all functions of your iPhone.

Step 2: Use the Zoom Gesture

Double-tap with three fingers to activate the Zoom function. Once Zoom is enabled, you can quickly magnify the screen at any time. This gesture is intuitive and becomes second nature after a bit of practice.

Step 3: Adjust Magnification

Drag three fingers up or down to adjust the zoom level. After double-tapping to zoom in, you might want to tweak the magnification level. Sliding three fingers allows for precise control, ensuring the content is just the right size for your needs.

Step 4: Pan Around the Screen

Move around the screen with three fingers to view different areas. When zoomed in, you won’t be able to see the entire screen at once. Panning with three fingers lets you explore different parts of the display effortlessly.

Step 5: Zoom Out

Double-tap with three fingers to zoom out and return to the normal view. After you’re done examining details, a quick double-tap gesture will take you back to the regular screen view.

Additional Information

When using zoom on your iPhone running iOS 17, it’s important to remember a few extra tips. For instance, did you know that you can adjust the zoom level in Settings for more granular control? That’s right, besides using the three-finger drag gesture, you can specify the exact magnification percentage you prefer. Also, there’s a feature called Smart Typing that automatically zooms out when you need to type, making it easier to see the keyboard.

And for those who might find the three-finger tap challenging, there’s an option to use a controller. This on-screen joystick lets you pan around and adjust zoom without the gestures. Lastly, remember that zoom settings can be tweaked to your preferences, so explore the options and customize the experience to fit your needs.

If you use Dual SIM on your iPhone, it’s possible you aren’t aware that since iOS 17 arrived, you’ve been able to set different ringtones for each SIM. Do this in Settings>Sounds & Haptics>Ringtone to set up a different tone to each line.

Lumos

Using Siri, Daniel Radcliffe fans can say “Lumos” to turn their torch on and “Nox” to turn it off again. It’s kind of fun.

Shazam secrets

You can long press the icons in Control Center to reach additional options. This is particularly useful in Shazam, as it will provide you with a scrollable list of all the songs you’ve ever Shazammed.

Make Haptic Touch faster.

Open Accessibility in Settings and then choose Haptic Touch . You will be able to make Haptic Touch faster or slower and test the speed to find the one that most suits you.

Summary and Focus

If you’re too easily distracted by notifications, you should use Notification Summary ( Settings>Notifications>Scheduled Summary ). Use this to schedule notifications from less important apps so you only receive them at specific times of the day; this one move can dramatically reduce interruptions.

Back Tap is a useful tool available in Settings>Accessibility>Touch>Back Tap . When enabled, it adds two new interfaces to your iPhone: double- or triple-tap the back of the device to trigger any of 30+ actions and any of your Shortcuts. I use one of these for Shake (to undo errors in typing) and the other to switch on the torch function.

Back buttons

Most Apple apps have a back button of some kind at the top left of the screen. Long press these to surface various functions, including getting back to the top menu in Settings.

Easy app switching

You probably know that you can swipe up and over in the home bar at the bottom of the screen to swipe between apps. You can also just swipe to move between apps there.

Guided Access

Lending someone your iPhone for some reason and don’t want them to snoop around? Open the app you want them to use, and triple click the Side Button, then choose Guided Access where you can limit what they can do.

Swipe in Safari

In any Safari window, just pinch to see all your available Safari windows in preview mode. You also get to this by tapping the bottom right square icon.

Share your screen(shot)

Quick way to share your screenshot? Tap and hold the small preview thumbnail that appears lower left and you’ll be taken directly to the Share sheet.

Screenshot a web page

You can take a screenshot of a full web page. When grabbing the shot just tap the small preview thumbnail to reach the full-screen annotation view, and then tap Full Page top right to get the entire web page in one image.

Scanner in your pocket

I make a lot of use of two great scanning features on iPhone:

Open a new note in Notes and tap the Camera icon, then choose Scan Documents.
Take a Photo in Photos.
Either way, the text in whatever you have scanned can now be recognized, selected, and pasted into another document or app.

Hustle at Home

To zip between Home screen pages, just touch and hold the three dots above the dock and swipe to and fro; this seems to be the fastest way to navigate between these pages.

Photo to video

If you press and hold the camera button while in Photo mode you will begin capturing video. Even better, keeping the button depressed you can swipe up and down to zoom in and out on that video — and slide it to the lock icon on the right for continuous recording.

Got a picture and want to crop it the easy way? Just open the image in Photos, zoom in to get to the detail you need, and then tap the Crop button that appears at the top right. You’ll also see useful tools to improve the image more, including rotation, markup and more.

Volume control

Why use the up and down buttons to set volume when you can just press either of those once or use your finger to choose the right volume in the scroll bar?

Accidentally answered a call and too polite to just hang up? Try switching on AirPlane mode and the call will be cut off as if it had failed. So useful for annoying marketing calls when they manage to get through.

Chef’s kiss

Many recipes use measurements that don’t travel well internationally, such as the US “cups.” You can convert these easily, here’s how: When reading the recipe, select the measure you want to convert, and the contextual menu should appear. Tap the right-facing arrow to reveal a range of different conversions, all while staying on the same page and in the same app.

Six Ways to Speed Up Your iPhone

I t’s hard to be patient with a slow iPhone , especially when using it for everything, from the calculator to getting directions on Maps. No one likes dealing with lag, buffering, or app freezing. Fortunately, there are a few ways you could speed up your iPhone.

Restart your iPhone

Let’s start with the classic “Did you try turning it off and on again?” It’s a classic for a reason, not just another tech myth. On a technical level, it helps refresh your iPhone’s RAM or working memory, which optimizes its overall performance. Since it’s probably the most straightforward hack, I’d recommend starting with this one.

There are slightly different ways to restart an iPhone based on its model. If you can’t get yours to restart, you might want to do a quick “how to restart [your iPhone model]” search. In case you’re unsure about your iPhone’s model, we have a guide for that , too.

Clear Safari Data

I’m sure we have encountered an ‘Accept Cookies’ popup. Even if you have no idea what that does, you’ve probably accepted tons of cookies by now. Refer to this helpful guide for a detailed and easy lesson on internet cookies. For the scope of this piece, all you need to know is that every time you click on ‘Accept Cookies’ on your browser, you’re putting a bunch of files on your device. These files pile up over time and end up slowing your phone.

If you frequently use Safari on your iPhone, you probably have a lot of passwords, cookies, tabs, and other login info in your Safari cache. It’s a good habit to clear that from time to time. Note that this will require re-entering login credentials or other personal info on some sites since clearing your cache will make your Safari brand new again.

To clear all Safari data, go to Settings on your iPhone and look up ‘Safari.’ Once in the Safari menu, scroll down until you see ‘Clear History and Website Data.’ It will ask you to pick a timeframe. Select ‘All history’ and then hit the red button at the bottom that says ‘Clear History.’

Free Up Space

Full storage is one of the leading causes of a sluggish iPhone. Go to Settings , scroll to General , and click on iPhone Storage from the menu. Doing so will present you with a stacked bar chart and an ordered list of your iPhone’s storage situation, clearly labeling how much space is occupied by which app.

It will also provide you with recommendations on how to free up space. Under Recommendations , click on Review Large Attachments to see the photos, videos, and attachments that are taking up the most space. When you see something you want to delete, swipe left and hit Delete .

There are other ways to free up space on your iPhone, but it ultimately depends on your priorities and your phone use. If you don’t always need all your photos and videos on your phone, you can back them up on iCloud and delete them from your iPhone. However, this would mean you would no longer be able to access them without the internet.

Similarly, if you don’t need all your iMessages, you can mass-delete them. I’ll review all the ways to clear storage on your iPhone in a separate, dedicated guide.

iOS updates often bring bug fixes that help improve your iPhone’s efficiency, so it’s a good idea to always be on the latest software update. You can do that by turning automatic updates on. Go to Settings > General > Software Update > Automatic Updates and turn on the toggle switch for all three options on the page. This will automatically download and install iOS software updates when your phone is connected to Wi-Fi, charging, and locked.

You can also manually update your iOS. A ‘Software Update Available’ notice on your Settings app under your Apple ID will tell you there’s a newer version you haven’t yet updated to. If you see that, scroll down to General > Software Update and click Download and Install to begin the update. If you don’t see that notice, you’re on the latest version.

Replace Battery

Another possible reason for a slow phone is a battery overused to the point of dysfunction. If your iPhone is old, its battery’s health may not be ideal. To see if that’s the case, go to Settings, look up Battery Health, and click on Battery Health & Charging from the open menu. Anything 80% and above is good, but Apple recommends replacing your battery when its health falls below that mark.

Turn Off Automatic Downloads and Background App Refresh

Apps on your iPhone tend to auto-update. While this is helpful, it could become overwhelming for your phone, especially if you have many apps on it. Multiple background app refreshes also take place without you knowing. Again, this is a helpful feature, but it could lead to a considerable drop in your phone’s efficiency if you have many apps that constantly refresh and update.

Go to Settings > App Store and turn off all three toggle switches under ‘Automatic Downloads.’ These are App Downloads, App Updates, and In-App Content. Then, go to General > Background App Refresh > Background App Refresh (again) and choose Off . Doing both will ensure no power-hungry apps are running in the background. If you’d like an app updated, you can constantly manually update it in the App Store.

No, closing your background apps won’t help.

I know; I felt as deceived as you did when Gizmodo Maxwell Zeff told us that closing background apps doesn’t do anything and that I have been making my poor little thumb do all that labor for years for nothing. It’s just a tech myth that originated years ago on Apple’s community forum and Stack Overflow and has been perpetuated ever since (because it sounds like it should work!). But yeah, doing that won’t affect either performance or battery.

Are some of your apps still running slow?

Are you sure it’s your phone and not your network? People often mistake a slow connection for a slow phone. Especially if you’re experiencing lag on apps that require an internet connection, it might just be your internet that needs fixing.

To quickly check this, look up ‘speed test’ on your browser. You’ll see an ‘Internet speed test’ pop-up. Hit the blue button that says ‘run speed test.’ In around 30 seconds, you’ll get precise stats on your download and upload speeds and a comment on your internet performance.

I just ran mine, and it said, “Your Internet connection is very fast. It should be able to handle multiple devices streaming HD videos, video conferencing, and gaming at the same time.” So, if my iPhone starts acting up, I’d know it’s not my internet.

iPhone 16: What to Expect From Apple's Next iPhone

The iPhone is poised to make its generative AI foray in 2024. Here's what's flying around in the iPhone 16 rumor mill.

More than a decade of journalism experience

As the iPhone 15 settles into the market, the tech community is buzzing with anticipation for Apple's next-generation handset, which is expected to be named "iPhone 16."

We've heard whispers about the iPhone 16's features, which are said to span from a new power-efficient display to larger screens, better zoom lenses, an action button and, perhaps not surprisingly, a suite of new gen-AI powered features.

Will the iPhone 16 fold?

Probably not. The newest rumors suggest Apple has been working on iPhone Flip models in two different sizes, though there have been difficulties in making the devices to Apple's standards. The company may also be working on a folding tablet with a screen around the size of an iPad Mini. Even though virtually every major phone-maker -- from Google to Oppo to OnePlus and Samsung -- have launched their own bendable handsets, Apple has been characteristically quiet about whether there will ever be an iPhone Flip or an iPhone Fold.

Prior rumors said Apple may not launch its own flexible screen device until 2025. Samsung hasn't let phone fans forget it -- by releasing an app that will let Apple phone owners experience a Z Fold-esque experience by placing two iPhones side-by-side .

iPhone 16 design: Slimmer bezels?

The rumors of larger screen sizes are piling in, at least for select iPhone 16 models. The latest is from Korean publication, the Elec, which published an April report saying select iPhone 16 models are poised to adopt an innovative screen technology, resulting in thinner bezels or the frame around the phone's screen. This development could translate to a slightly larger screen area for some iPhone 16 models, although it's not clear which models.

Apple has historically introduced display upgrades in its pro line of products, before sometimes trickling them down to lower-cost models afterwards. The report says display manufacturers have introduced a novel border reduction structure technology, enabling more compact control circuitry and ultimately leading to slimmer bezels.

iPhone 16 Pro models to get bigger screens?

Speaking of screen sizes, Apple has maintained the two screen sizes for iPhone Pro models since 2020 when it launched the 6.1-inch iPhone 12 Pro and the 6.7-inch iPhone 12 Pro Max . However, that's rumored to change with the iPhone 16 Pro models, which might get bigger screens.

Display analyst Ross Young suggested earlier this year that the iPhone 16 Pro models will have larger screens, putting the sizes at 6.3 inches for the iPhone 16 Pro and 6.9 inches for the iPhone 16 Pro Max. That rumor was later corroborated by Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, who said the iPhone 16 Pro models could grow by "a couple tenths of an inch diagonally."

Read More : How the iPhone 16's Design May Change

The iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus models are believed to be sticking with the current 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch sizes . If the size increase is accurate, it would be yet another move from Apple to distinguish its Pro iPhone models from its regular ones.

iPhone 15 screen sizes

iPhone 15: 6.1 inches.
iPhone 15 Plus: 6.7 inches.
iPhone 15 Pro: 6.1 inches.
iPhone 15 Pro Max: 6.7 inches.

Rumored iPhone 16 screen sizes

iPhone 16: 6.1 inches.
iPhone 16 Plus: 6.7 inches.
iPhone 16 Pro: 6.3 inches.
iPhone 16 Pro Max: 6.9 inches.

iPhone 16 gets more AI tricks

One of the most salient selling points of Samsung's Galaxy S24 series and Google's Pixel 8 lineup were each of their souped-up AI tips and tricks, and it wouldn't be a major shock if Apple went in the same direction. Apple CEO Tim Cook has gone on the record this year confirming Apple sees "a huge opportunity for Apple with gen AI and AI."

According to Gurman's Power On newsletter, iOS 18 will feature generative AI technology that "should improve how both Siri and the Messages app can field questions and auto-complete sentences."

A September report from the Information says Apple plans to use large language models, a crucial part of generative AI, to make Siri smarter. The report said this feature is expected to be released with an iPhone software update next year.

iPhone 16 design: New action button?

In March, AppleInsider published a collection of photographs purportedly displaying 3D-printed dummy models of the rumored iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro. The images revealed that the iPhone 16 may have a vertical camera stack as opposed to a diagonal one and an action button, similar the one on last year's iPhone 15 Pro.

iPhone 16 gets more power-efficient display?

Another change that could make its way to iPhone 16 displays is greater power efficiency. Samsung Display is apparently developing a new material set, dubbed M14, specifically for Apple, according to a TheElec report, which says the new technology should arrive on iPhones launching next year. M14 will replace the blue fluorescent technology that's used now with blue phosphorescence technology, creating an even more power-efficient screen than the current LTPO ones used on Pro models, the report says.

iPhone 16 gets better zoom?

Both the iPhone 16 Pro and the iPhone 16 Pro Max could both have 5x telephoto lenses next year. According to Apple analyst Ming Chi Kuo , a tetraprism lens will make its way to both Pro models next year, as opposed to just the Pro Max model. Apple equipped the iPhone 15 Pro with a 12-megapixel 3x optical zoom, while the iPhone 15 Pro Max has a 12-megapixel 5x optical zoom camera, which is the equivalent of 120mm lens on a full-frame camera. If this rumor is true, it could mark a breakthrough in design. When Apple launched the 15 Pro Max with its 5x telephoto lens, it cited the phone's bigger body as to why the Pro Max had it, but the Pro didn't.

iPhone 16 processors: A18 chip for all models?

In a break with the past two years, all four iPhone 16 models will apparently get a next-generation Apple chipset, which will all receive A18 branding. According to a MacRumors report citing Jeff Pu, an executive analyst for Haitong International Securities, all four models will have an A18 series chip with Pro iPhone models getting an A18 Bionic Pro and base models getting a regular A18.

The iPhone 15 and 15 Plus currently have an A16 Bionic, which debuted on the 2022 iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max, while the 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max run on the A17 Pro processor . Pu says the A18 chip will be manufactured with TSMC's cutting-edge 3 nanometer process.

iPhone 16: Launch and release timeline

Apple holds its annual iPhone event in September almost every year, so we'd expect the timeline to remain the same for the iPhone 16. New iPhones typically get released shortly thereafter, usually the Friday of the following week. Sometimes Apple will stagger release dates for specific models, especially when introducing a new design or size. So it's possible that the iPhone 16 lineup will have more than one release date.

What we know so far

Apple tends to hold its events on Tuesdays or Wednesdays. The iPhone 15 event was held on Tuesday, Sept. 7. The iPhone 14 event was held on Wednesday, Sept. 7. And the iPhone 13 event was held on Tuesday, Sept. 14.

iPhone release dates are typically a week and a half after Apple's announcements.

In general, new iPhones are released on a Friday, around the third week of September. For the iPhone 13, preorders began Sept. 17 and the phones went on sale Sept. 24.

iOS 18 May Feature All-New 'Safari Browsing Assistant'

iOS 18 will apparently feature a new Safari browsing assistant, according to backend code on Apple's servers discovered by Nicolás Álvarez . MacRumors contributor Aaron Perris confirmed that the code exists, but not many details are known at this time.

Update: Álvarez has since said that iCloud Private Relay might not be related to this feature.

A browsing assistant in Safari could be one of the many new generative AI features that are rumored to be coming to the iPhone with iOS 18 later this year. There are already multiple iPhone web browsers with AI tools, such as Microsoft Edge with a GPT-4-powered Copilot and Arc Search , which can summarize web pages to provide concise information.

Álvarez also uncovered a so-called "Encrypted Visual Search" feature in the backend code on Apple's servers, but no specific details are known. MacRumors contributor Steve Moser last year discovered a new Visual Search feature for Apple's Vision Pro headset in visionOS beta code, which would allow users to copy and paste printed text from the real world into apps and more, but the feature has yet to launch. It is possible that Apple is planning to debut a more secure version of the feature. However, the code could also relate to the iPhone's existing Visual Look Up feature that can identify objects in photos and videos.

Apple is set to unveil iOS 18 during its WWDC keynote on June 10 , so we should learn more about these potential new features in a few more months.

Tips & Tricks

Troubleshooting, how to use apple watch as viewfinder & remote for iphone camera.

Did you know that your Apple Watch can be used as a viewfinder and shutter button for the camera on your iPhone? Sure, some of you may already know this, but a lot of new Apple Watch users aren’t aware of this nifty feature that can come in handy while taking photos in a variety of scenarios.

Apple Watch has a Camera Remote app which can helpful in a lot of different scenarios. Let’s say you want to take a group photo but you want everyone in the picture. You can position your iPhone to frame the shot and when everyone’s ready, you can press the shutter button using your Apple Watch. This basically removes the need for an extra hand, as long as you’re able to position your iPhone accordingly.

We’ll help you get started using your Apple Watch as a viewfinder and remote control for your iPhone’s camera.

This is a feature that has been available since the release of the original Apple Watch back in 2015, so you don’t have to be on a specific watchOS version. Just follow the steps below to learn how it’s done:

That’s it, you’ve now learned how to use Apple Watch to take pictures on your iPhone.

It’s worth pointing out that if you’re using the default timer setting to take pictures, your iPhone will be taking burst shots consisting of 10 images. However, if you’re looking to take a single shot, you will have to disable the timer and there’s no other way to go about it.

Additionally, if you exit and relaunch the Camera Remote app, the photos you just took will not be available for Preview and you’ll need to use your iPhone to see all the pictures in your Photos library. As for burst shots, you’ll only be able to view the best shot out of the 10 images that were captured. Also, your Apple Watch display will go black during the entire duration of the burst shot, probably due to the latency it introduces.

Hopefully, you were able to take some great pictures in scenarios where you couldn’t unless you had an extra hand, or person. What are your overall thoughts on the Camera Remote app? How often do you find this useful? Let us know your valuable opinions and share your experiences in the comments section down below, and check out more Apple Watch tips while you’re at it.
