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.
