How to Save Battery Life by Turning Off 5G on iPhone

Connecting to lightning fast 5G networks, requires a sacrifice: battery life. But Apple baked a Smart Data Mode setting into new iPhones to give you more control over using 5G.

Connecting to lightning fast 5G networks, requires a sacrifice: battery life. But Apple baked a Smart Data Mode setting into new iPhones to give you more control over using 5G.

Apple gives you three options: You can keep 5G on all the time, switch over to LTE and never use 5G, or allow your iPhone to make that decision for you with an auto mode. There is no reason to upgrade to an iPhone 12 just for the 5G feature because the network carriers are behind the iPhone hardware. 6G is already in the works and Apple is planning on using it in its iPhone 13 lineup.

But, if you have an iPhone 12, here is how to easily turn off 5G to save your battery life.

This is for iPhone 12 lineup

Dilbert and Lists — *Copyright Scott Adams, Inc./Distributed by Universal Uclick for UFS*

First, open Settings (the gear icon) on your iPhone. Refer to below image:

Next, tap the Cellular option. See below image:

Next. tap the Cellular Data Options. See following image:

5G 3 — Accessing the Cellular Data Options

Now, tap the Voice & Data option. Refer to below image:

Next, select LTE from the list to disable 5G completely. Not shown in the below image are the options 5G On and 5G Auto because the screenshot is from an iPhone XR. See below image:

5G 5 — Selecting the LTE option to save draining the battery

The option, 5G Auto, allows the iPhone to automatically deactivate 5G to save battery life when it is not needed.

Now, exit Settings. 5G is now disabled on your iPhone. If you ever need to turn it back on, just revisit the above steps and select 5G On or 5G Auto.

How to Use Smart Invert on iPhone

If you love Dark Mode but your favorite iPhone or iPad app or website does not support it, you can force a simulated Dark Mode everywhere using Apple’s built-in Smart Invert accessibility feature.

If you love Dark Mode but your favorite iPhone or iPad app or website does not support it, you can force a simulated Dark Mode everywhere using Apple’s built-in Smart Invert accessibility feature.

This is for the iPhone

Dilbert and Error — *Copyright Scott Adams, Inc./Distributed by Universal Uclick for UFS*

Defining Smart Invert

Smart Invert is an Apple accessibility feature that inverts the colors on your screen (like a negative image), but with a twist. It’s “smart” because it usually prevents images, videos, and some apps that are already dark-colored from getting inverted. It was designed for people with vision loss, low vision, or other vision issues that might benefit from an inverted screen but might not want to see inverted images.

How About Dark Mode

Apple’s system wide Dark Mode (first introduced in iOS 13) generally works well and is supported by a large number of iPhone and iPad apps, but some apps with largely white interfaces still do not support it. Also, if you want to browse the web at night without waking a sleeping buddy, Smart Invert keeps the light low.

Enabling Smart Invert

First, launch Settings (the gear icon). Refer to below image:

Now, navigate to the Accessibility option. See below image:

Invert 2 — Accessing Accessibility option

Next, tap the Display & Text Size option. See following image:

Invert 3 — Accessing Display & Text Size option

In its settings, scroll down until you see Smart Invert toggle. Tap it to turn it on. Your screen will immediately be inverted (a black screen). Refer to below image: (Note! This iPhone will not capture the inverted screen).

Now, exit Settings and use your apps as usual.

Disable Smart Invert

If you want to to turn it off, revisit

Settings > Accessibility > Display & Text Size > Smart Invert

and toggle off the switch. Or you can use a shortcut. Let’s see how to setup a shortcut.

Use a Shortcut

Using a built-in feature called Accessibility Shortcut on your iPhone, you can triple-click your Home button (on older iPhones or your Side button on newer models) to quickly launch an accessibility function such as Smart Invert.

To set it up, launch Settings and navigate to Accessibility. Next, scroll down and tap Accessibility Shortcut. See below image:

Now, you will see a list of Accessibility functions you can toggle with the shortcut. Tap Smart Invert then tap the Back button. See following image:

Invert 6 — Enabling Smart Invert shortcut

Now, whenever you triple-click your Home or Side button (depending on which iPhone model you have), you will launch Smart Invert. If you triple-click it again, Smart Invert will turn off.

Use a Back Tap

Starting with iOS 14 and higher, if you have an iPhone 8 or above, you can use the Back Tap feature to toggle Smart Invert. To do so, go to

Settings > Accessibility > Touch > Back Tap

Now, select whether you want to trigger Smart Invert using a double-tap or triple-tap on the back of your iPhone. In the list of actions that appears, select Smart Invert. Refer to below image where we selected the triple-tap action:

Invert 7 — Assigning Smart Invert option to Back Tap

Now, go back one screen and exit Settings. With Back Tap enabled, you can tap on the back of your iPhone two or three times to quickly turn Smart Invert on or off. That’s it. Please feel free to share this post! One way to share is via Twitter, as mentioned below.

How to Use Sound Recognition on iPhone in iOS 14

Sound Recognition, first introduced in iOS 14, lets iPhone users with hearing loss receive visual alerts when the iPhone detects certain sounds like smoke alarms, sirens, door knocks, or dogs barking.

Sound Recognition, first introduced in iOS 14, lets iPhone users with hearing loss receive visual alerts when the iPhone detects certain sounds like smoke alarms, sirens, door knocks, or dogs barking. It does this with onboard intelligence, so no network connection is required. Let’s explore how to setup and use this feature.

This is for the iPhone running iOS 14+

Dilbert and Lunch — *Copyright Scott Adams, Inc./Distributed by Universal Uclick for UFS*

Setup Sound Recognition

First, launch Settings (the gear icon). Refer to below image:

in Settings, scroll down and tap Accessibility. See below image:

In Accessibility, navigate to the Hearing section. Now, tap Sound Recognition. See following image:

Enabling Sounds

In Sound Recognition settings, tap the switch beside Sound Recognition to turn it on. Next, tap Sounds below that to choose which sounds to recognize. Refer to below image:

Siri is Disabled

Once you enable a Sound, a message will be displayed about Siri being disabled if you Turn On Sound Recognition, or you may Cancel. See below image:

Sound 5 — Hey Siri message if a Sound is enabled

Now, you will see a list of switches that correspond to types of sound your iPhone can recognize, such as sirens and water running. As of iOS 14, here’s the full list:

Fire Alarm
Siren
Smoke Alarm
Cat
Dog
Appliances
Car Horn
Door Bell
Door Knock
Water Running
Baby Crying

Tap the switch beside each sound that you would like for your iPhone to recognize. You can enable any combination of them, or all of them. See following image where I enabled Fire, Smoke, and Dog:

Now, to save your selection(s), press the Back link in upper left-hand corner, then exit Settings.

The Notifications

If you wouldd like to test the Sound Recognition feature, try searching for sounds like “Smoke Alarm” or “Dog Barking” on YouTube. When triggered, Sound Recognition will place an alert notification at the top of your screen. Later, you can see a list of these alerts in your iPhone’s Notification Center. Refer to below image:

Sound 7 — Sound Recognition notifications

If you wish to activate other sounds or disable them, navigate back to the Sounds in the Sound Recognition screen. Also, you could create a shortcut in the Control Center to activate/deactivate the Sounds.

A Viewpoint

I usually don’t comment on what Apple engineers intended to do or how a feature is to work. This feature does work as advertised. But, if my house was on fire and the alarm goes off, I want my iPhone to blast our a fire alarm sound. What good is a notification alert; yikes, my house is burning! I don’t have time to grab my iPhone and launch the Notification Center. To me, this is a flaw.

While sleeping, I would like for my iPhone to blast out the sound of a fire or smoke alarm and call 911. Other sounds you might wnat to hear through your iPhone is Baby Crying and Water Running. For these reasons, this is a poorly designed feature.

At the same time,I realize that Apple wants no liability claims for missing sounds, like smoke or fire. They chose not to use the iPhone as an alarm in Sound Recognition.

How to Enable Offline Translation on iPhone in iOS 14

The Translate app, introduced in iOS 14, allows you to quickly translate between languages using text or voice input. With speech output, support for a dozen languages, and a comprehensive built-in dictionary, it’s an essential tool for travelers or students.

The Translate app, introduced in iOS 14, allows you to quickly translate between languages using text or voice input. With speech output, support for a dozen languages, and a comprehensive built-in dictionary, it’s an essential tool for travelers or students.

By default, the app uses cloud services to perform translations. However, you can also enable offline translation on your iPhone running this app by downloading the languages.

As a disclaimer, Apple warns that the offline translations might not be as accurate as online translations. This is because in the offline mode, the app does not use Apple’s cloud computing’s ability to deliver the best translated results.

Still, it’s handy if you do not have a network connection, especially while traveling to third world countries where Internet bandwidth is poor. It is also ideal if you have a sensitive job and do not want any translation data transferred over the Internet or potentially stored in the cloud

Let’s explore how to setup offline translation.

This is for the iPhone running iOS 14

Dilbert and Developers — *Copyright Scott Adams, Inc./Distributed by Universal Uclick for UFS*

Accessing Translate

First, launch Settings (the Gear icon). Refer to below image:

Next, scroll way down and tap Translate. See below image:

Enable On Device

Now, toggle to On the label On device mode. See following image:

Download Languages

A pop-up will be displayed alerting you that you need to download languages to translate locally on your device. Just tap Open App. Refer to below image:

Next, a pop-up message will be displayed about the download of languages. See below image:

Offline 5 — Downlaod of languages message

On the next screen, tap either of the two language pair buttons at top of the page. See following image:

In the list that appears, scroll down to the Available Offline Languages section. Now, tap the language you want to use offline, and it will download automatically. Please wait for the download to finish.

Now, repeat the above procedure for other language(s).

Once a language is downloaded, a checkmark will appear beside it. In my example, I have downloaded Spanish, so now I have English and Spanish for offline translations. Refer to below image:

Offline 6 — Checkmark of downloaded languages

Translate Off Line

Next, tap Done in upper right-hand corner and you will be returned to the main Translate screen. Now, type in your text and the app will translate as usual but without a network connection. All of your translations will stay on your local device. See below example for translation from English to Spanish:

Offline 7 — Translating Englis to Spanish

To return to cloud service translation, just toggle Off the label On device mode in Settings.

You are finished! You now have mastered offline translation on your iPhone.

How to Disable Noise Cancellation on iPhone in iOS 14

Does your iPhone earpiece sound muffled or somewhat weird? The iPhone has a microphone next to the iSight camera for noise cancellation, allowing the user to block out ambient noise and get a more clearer sound in the earpiece. But at times, noise cancellation can be a hit or miss, resulting in muffled or fuzzy sound, making things tough to understand. If you’re facing such an issue, let’s turn off noise cancellation to fix things in a jiffy.

This is for the iPhone running iOS 14

How Does It Work

Phone noise cancellation, first introduced in iOS 7, monitors levels of ambient background noise and produces an inverse audio signal to cancel that background noise, so you don’t hear it on a phone call. The technology works best with continuous low-level background noise, and it typically works very well. But sometimes it can produce an eerily quiet phone conversation or unsettling audio sounds, such as small crowd noises or low-level background music.

Also, some people find the noise-cancellation effect physically uncomfortable especially when using a headset. Fortunately, phone noise cancellation is easy to turn off on the iPhone. Let’s explore how to do this.

Disable Noise Cancellation

First, open Settings (the gear icon). Refer to below image:

Now, scroll down and launch Accessibility. See below image:

Next, scroll down to the Hearing section and tap Audio/Visual. See following image:

Now, tap the Phone Noise Cancellation toggle to turn it off (the default setting is On). Refer to below image:

Noise 4 — Disabling Phone Noise Cancellation

Next, let’s go back one screen to make sure the change registers. You can now exit Settings. The next time you place or receive a phone call, noise cancellation will be disabled.

That’s it. You may enable the feature at any time by following the above steps.

Edit a Live Photo

First, open the Photos app. Browse your photos until you find the Live Photo you would like to work on. Tap it to view it in detail. Now, tap the Edit button in the upper-right corner of your screen. Refer to below image:

Next, on the Edit screen, tap the Live Photo icon near the bottom of the screen; the one that looks like three concentric circles. See below image:

Still Image 2 — Accessing the Live Photo icon

Extract an Image

A filmstrip will appear just below the photo. Drag your finger along the filmstrip until you find the image that you would like to extract. You will be making this the Key Photo, or the one you want to visually represent the Live Photo when viewed in the Photos app.

Now, lift your finger from the film strip, then tap the Make Key Photo pop-up. See following image:

Still Image 3 — Accessing Make Key Photo option

The Key Photo will be set. Next, tap Done to leave the Edit screen. Refer to below image:

When you return to the photo detail screen, notice that the image has changed to the one you selected.

Duplicate the Live Photo

To extract the image while leaving the original Live Photo intact, we are going to duplicate it.

First, tap the Share button which looks like a square with an arrow pointing upward out of it at the bottom left hand corne of your screen. See below image:

Still Image 5 — Accessing the Share button

Next, in the Share menu, swipe down and tap Duplicate. See following image:

Still Image 6 — Accessing the Duplicate option

Next, from the pop-up, tap Duplicate as Still Photo. Refer to below image:

Still Image 7 — Selecting make a Duplicate as Still Photo

Revert Back to Original

After that, a new duplicate photo of the key frame you picked will appear in your Photos library just beside the original Live Photo.

If you would like, you can also return to your original Live Photo. On the photo, tap Edit again, then tap Revert to restore the Live Photo to its original settings.

The resolution of the extracted photo may not match that of a typical still photo on the iPhone. That’s because you have just extracted a still frame from a video, and Apple devices record video frames at a lower resolution than still photos.

How to Stop Siri When Pressing Hold Button on iPhone

It is easy to accidentally trigger Siri on your iPhone by pressing and holding either the Side button (on newer models), or the Home button (on older ones). If you are like me, this is annoying.
