iOS 11 Secrets: Making Your Life Easier with These Little Tricks

As iOS 11 is soon to be released, many users are eager to learn about the new features and hidden gems that can make their lives easier. In this article, we'll dive into some of these secrets and tricks that might not be well-known to everyone.

Sharing Wi-Fi with Friends Made Easy

------------------------------------

One of the most common issues people face when sharing Wi-Fi with friends is having to reveal their password out loud. However, with iOS 11, this can be easily avoided. If you have a friend coming over with an iPad and you want to share your Wi-Fi network, all you need to do is ask them to go into Settings, ensure Bluetooth is turned on, and both devices are running iOS 11. Once the Wi-Fi network gets detected by their device, it will send the password automatically to your iPhone, allowing your friend to tap in and access the network without having to say a word.

Adjusting Volume Controls with Ease

--------------------------------------

Another issue that many people face is having to go into Settings every time they want to adjust the volume control for the ringer. However, with iOS 11, this can be easily fixed. Simply tap on the button located below the volume control, and you'll notice that it allows you to adjust the volume for the ringer instead of the media audio. This means that if you go back and turn off the ringer volume, it will automatically revert back to the media audio settings.

Display and Brightness Options: Finding Auto-Brightness

---------------------------------------------------------

The auto brightness option has been a staple feature in iOS for years, but with iOS 11, it's no longer directly accessible from the display and brightness options. However, there's still a way to access it. To do so, you'll need to go back to General, scroll down to Accessibility, and then select Display Accommodations. From there, you can toggle the auto brightness option on or off, allowing you to manage your screen brightness with ease.

Using Siri in Noisy Environments

-----------------------------------

Siri is a powerful tool that can be used for many situations, but what if there's too much noise around and you can't talk clearly? With iOS 11, this won't be an issue anymore. Simply go to General, scroll down to Accessibility, and then select Siri options. From there, you can enable the "Type to Siri" feature, which allows you to type in your questions instead of speaking them. This means that even in noisy environments, you can still use Siri to get answers to your questions.

The Rest Finger-to-Open Option

-------------------------------

For those who may be familiar with this option, it's a feature that has been around for quite some time but is often misunderstood. The rest finger-to-open option allows you to unlock your device using only your fingerprint, without having to press the home button. To access this option, go to General, scroll down to Accessibility, and select Home Button options. From there, you'll see an option that says "Rest Finger to Open." This feature may seem simple, but it can be a game-changer for those who prefer a more hands-free way of unlocking their device.

Conclusion

----------

In conclusion, these little tricks and secrets can make a big difference in your daily life with iOS 11. By mastering these tips and techniques, you'll be able to share Wi-Fi with friends easily, adjust volume controls with ease, access display and brightness options, use Siri in noisy environments, and even unlock your device using the rest finger-to-open option. So, next time you update to iOS 11, take a closer look at these features and see how they can improve your user experience.
