iOS 13.2: The 13 best hidden iPhone and iPad features we can find, cNet

[M. Taylor]

Hello All, 

Although some of these features have already been discussed, there are a
couple that I absolutely love, including the automatic document scanning
feature which works beautifully with VoiceOver in terms of guiding a blind
person in lining up the camera for the automatic scan.  While I'm not
certain how much use a totally blind person can benefit from this feature,
low vision VoiceOver users will definitely find the Files App auto-document
scanning feature a true treasure.

iOS 13.2: The 13 best hidden iPhone and iPad features we can find
We combed through the iPhone 11 and iPad Pro -- here's what we found.
November 5, 2019 7:30 AM PST
 
iOS 13 is a pretty significant update. 
Apple's iOS 13 and iPadOS 13 launch has been a whirlwind. Since its initial
release, we've seen several updates released in just over a month. The
latest version is iOS 13.2, which added support for the iPhone 11's Deep
Fusion camera trick, and the new AirPods Pro (read our in-depth AirPods Pro
review here), along with a bunch of new emoji. All of that is in addition to
the core features iOS 13 brought to your devices. After you've updated your
iPhone or iPad to the latest software and caught your breath, make sure to
try out the new dark mode (huzzah!), the gesture keyboard and improvements
made to Safari, along with anything else we cover in our complete guide to
iOS 13. 

Those features are great and all, but we've also found a handful of features
Apple didn't announce that are just as good, if not better. The new volume
indicator alone is -- chef's kiss -- a feature iOS has needed for years. And
iMessage search, well, it's downright amazing. Don't forget about the new
photo-sharing options. 
Below are 13 of the best, hidden features we found in iOS 13. If you haven't
installed iOS 13 yet, make sure you get your phone ready for the update
before taking the plunge. Should something go wrong while it installs,
you'll be glad you took the time. Oh, and if you're still on the fence about
getting an iPhone 11, be sure to read our iPhone 11 review.  

1.
Optimized battery charging 
Routinely charging your iPhone's ($900 at Amazon) battery to full, and
keeping it there for extended amounts of time, can damage your battery over
time. A new option in iOS 13 is intended to help prolong your battery's life
by learning your charging habits and preventing the battery from immediately
charging to 100%. 
If you normally charge overnight while you sleep, Optimized Battery Charging
will keep your iPhone's battery at 80% for most of the night, finishing off
the last 20% of charge right before your alarm goes off.  
To use the new features, go to Settings > Battery > Battery Health and turn
it on. 

2.
Use the new Scroll Bar 
When you're scrolling a webpage in Safari, a new Scroll Bar shows up on the
right side of the screen. Only instead of just being a handy way to see
where you're at on a page, you can now use it to scroll faster. Try it out
by starting to scroll on a page, then long-press on the scroll bar and drag
it up or down. The faster you drag, the faster Safari will scroll.  

3.
Scan documents in the Files app 
The revamped Files app now lets you scan documents and save them directly to
your device or cloud storage with little effort. Open the Files app, select
the Browse tab, tap on the three-dot icon in the top-right corner, then Scan
Documents. Hold your device over the document you want to scan, and it
should automatically capture the page. You can scan multiple pages into one
PDF file and then save to iCloud, or import it into another app once you're
done.  

4.
iMessage search actually works now 
Searching for past messages in the iMessage app has always been horrible. It
simply hasn't worked. That's changed. You can now search for a single word
or phrase, and results are almost instantly displayed. 
It's pretty cool. To try it, open the Messages app, swipe down to reveal the
search field and type. Neat, right? 

5.
Search your iPhone with your voice 
Anywhere you find a search bar in Apple's own apps, you'll notice there's
now a microphone on the far-right side. Tap on the new icon to enter your
search query by voice, instead of having to type it out.  
Apps like Settings, Mail, Messages and the Today View are just a few
examples of where you can find the new voice search option.  

6.
Share photos with or without location information 
You can now strip location information from a photo when you share it
directly from the Photos app. The new option means you can leave the photo
geotagged and you can view where it was captured, but when you share it
across social media, email or messages, you can strip that information and
keep any location information private. 
Select a photo (or photos) you want to share in the Photos app then tap on
Options at the top of the screen and turn off Location under the section
labeled Include. 

7.
New volume indicator 
Another long-overdue feature iOS users have been begging Apple

Hi,

Was worth a try.  I've done it before when customizing the Dock during imaging 
or templating Macs, but haven't done it very much on the fly like you were in 
need of.

Re: Resoreing dock.

Hi,

Technically, I guess you could The Dock related files that organize it are 
within your user account, Library, Preferences.  If you went into Time Machine, 
into your Home directory, Library, Preferences and located the 
com.apple.Dock.plist and restored it, you might have luck.  I don't believe 
that you should need to mess with any other of the Dock files within there.

Re: Anyone playing Invisible Dragons?

['Donna Goodin' via MacVisionaries]

You sacrifice all the dragons that you've created.  For that you get a ritual 
card, which gives you more stuff, more fire, more dragon eggs, more gold, etc.  
That makes game play a lot faster, and enables you to keep creating bigger and 
badder dragons.  It's kind of a Sisyphus thing, but it's fun to play when 
you're just riding in a car, killing time, and so on.

Re: Anyone playing Invisible Dragons?

['Donna Goodin' via MacVisionaries]

Hi Jessica,
So the idea is to produce as much fire as you can in order to melt the ice, 
which basically means create a bunch of dragons.  As you create more of them, 
different additional options will become available, such as mining gold, 
building egg farms, obtaining mana--which is basically power to cast spells and 
eventually to sacrifice-- and so on. You keep sort of moving up the food chain, 
creating bigger and badder dragons each of which produces more fire.  But with 
each dragon you create, the cost of creating them goes up, so it gets harder 
and harder.  so keep creating fire drakes until you can create a fire Wyvern, 
the next dragon up. Then you'll see another kind of dragon appear on the home 
screen, and you'll have to create enough Fire Wyvern to create that dragon.  
It's kind of a resource management thing.
HTH,
Donna

Re: Viewing PDF files on Mac OS Catalina

[dan d.]

My guess, there are settings in system preferences to control to what degree 
non-apple apps can be downloaded.
Or, you have installed an anti-virus application where some preference setting 
is the cause.
I hear other mac users speak of using it, including on this list.

Re: Playing DVD's on the Mac

['Tim Kilburn' via MacVisionaries]

Hi,

Have you all beat.  It's -13.7 C here this morning, feels like -18.8 C and 
hopefully, it's going to make it up to -8 C today.  It's amazing though.  These 
temperatures in January and February always feel warm when you get used to -25 
to -40 C.  I think that somewhere sunny and warm sounds great to me.

Later...

Petrus,
To play a dvd, you need to select a title from the go->title menu.
DVD menus are not accessible.
Also, note that VLC can not play copy protected media on its own.  You would 
have to download and install a couple of libraries first.

RE: Playing DVD's on the Mac

[Simon A Fogarty]

We get that type of temp in the middle of winter in central otago,

That’s about 2.5 to 3 hours away from where I live in the south island,

The hottest and coldest place in NZ,

But it’s only spring / fall and it can change in moments between a fantastic 20 
plus day to raining / snowing etc without notice.

As stated by the Band Crowded house,
4 seasons in one day.

Re: How secure is iCloud drive?

['Andrew Lamanche' via MacVisionaries]

As an alternative, you could create a sparse bundle disk on your mac using Disk 
utility.  You can password protect it and I believe it is encrypted too.  Only 
a person who knows the password can open such a disk. You can specify how large 
the disk you want.  I did so a number of years ago.  It sits on my mac in docs 
but to open it you have to know the password.  YOu can also copy it anywhere 
you want and the password protection remains.  I chose a couple of GB for the 
size of the disk but you can decide on any size.
