Apple devices are gaining popularity, and new users are becoming more curious to learn the ways that help them use these devices efficiently. The article explains different ways that make it easier to share files, sync data, pin apps, along with many other tips.
Utilize the Long Press Function
With the launch of iOS 13, Apple switched from the 3D touch-optimized usability to the long-tap function. You can now long-press on any app, and a small window will open for a variety of functions like move, compress, tags, etc. You can also use the long-press function with the Files app, developed by Apple for better file management.
Drag and Drop Files
Recently Apple has added a feature using which you can drag any file and drop it onto the desired location without copying and pasting it. All you need to do is simply long-press on file, drag it and move it to the place you want. You can also do this with multiple app icons to move them all at once. Use this tip to give an organized look to your files and apps.
Transfer Pictures from iPhone to iPad
Numerous options are available to share pictures between iPhone and iPad or other Apple devices. To use most of these options, you will need to connect both the devices to the same WiFi connection. Also, they require you to log in to the same Apple ID on both devices. So if you are thinking about how to transfer pictures from iphone to ipad, here are the options:
- Share iPhone Photos via AirDrop using Bluetooth
- Upload iPad pictures to iCloud Files
- Sync iPad and iPhone via iCloud Photos
- Copy data to a USB and transfer to iPad
Enable Guided Access
To limit your device to a single app and control which features are accessible, you can enable Guided Access on your phone. The feature is particularly useful when a child or another user is using your mobile.
To set up Guided Access, go to Settings, click Accessibility and toggle to turn on the Guided Access. Next, select Passcode Settings and select Set Guided Access Passcode. Provide the passcode and re-enter it to confirm.
Use File Scanner
If you need a scanner to scan your document, you don’t have to run around the third-party scanner programs as the native Files app will provide you with basic scanning features. Open the file you need to scan, tap on the three-dot menu, and tap on Scan Documents.
This will open the Camera app and will ask you to capture the document. The document will automatically be cornered, and you can change it as per your preference. Once the adjustment is made, you may apply various filters to give a precise look to your scanned documents.
Using the native scanner is easier, and no hassles to download and install the scanning app involves.
Sort Your Files
Sorting the files on your iPhone will allow you to easily locate them when required. Apple provides you with four different ways to sort your files on iPhone, and you may use one among these options for better file organization.
You can select to sort files by Name that allows you to organize your files alphabetically. Use Date if you wish to organize files with the date you last modified the file or select the Size option if you wish to sort files by their volumes. Lastly, select to sort the files using Tags.
Recover Deleted Items
Imagine you are working on a thesis and saving multiple files into the single folder belonging to your project. While organizing the files in the folder, you accidentally delete an important file permanently from the iOS 13.
If you are planning to install a file recovery app from the web, you need to know that Apple’s built-in File app allows users to recover the deleted files almost instantly. Open the File app, tap on Locations, and select Recently Deleted.
Next, select the desired file you want to recover by selecting the top right-hand corner, and then tap on Recover. The deleted file will be restored back, and you can resume your work normally.
Move Files Across Cloud Drives
As Apple provides you access to third-party software like Google Drive, Dropbox, etc., you can easily move your data from one drive to another. You can just first select the desired file that you want to transfer, then long-press it and tap on Move or Copy.
Now go to the location where you want that file and then paste it. After that, your data will be uploaded from one cloud to another drive. You can also use third-party software to transfer your data from one to another. iOS gives you access to a bunch of functions that make your file secure, accessible, and easily workable.
