**Test of Emergency Broadcasting System**

The system is currently being tested and we'll move on to using trackpad mode with emergency features enabled. This feature is super handy, especially for devices that lack a home button and have a home indicator at the bottom of the screen. With this feature, you can swipe on the home indicator to switch between apps quickly.

**Quick App Switching**

You may not know that you can use this feature to quickly switch back and forth between two apps. When you interact with an app and swipe from left to right on the home indicator, it goes back to the previous app. Anytime you interact with that app, it will switch back to the previous app. However, if you don't interact with the app and simply swipe from left to right, it will go to the next app in the list.

**Moving Multiple Apps**

If you want to move multiple apps in iOS, all you need to do is go into "wiggle mode" by tapping and holding on an application. Then, tap and drag that first app and then tap on the other apps that you wish to add to the bundle. You can see this feature in action by adding music to your list of apps and then dragging it over to the next page.

**Selecting Multiple Photos**

You can also deselect or select multiple photos in the Photos app. To do this, go into "wiggle mode" and tap and drag on an application. Then, you can either tap and drag to select multiple photos or deselection those photos by simply tapping and dragging again.

**Reachability Feature**

If you have a larger phone like the iPhone 10 or 10s max, it can be hard to reach apps and content at the top of the display. However, there's a fix for this problem. To enable "reach ability," go to Settings > General > Accessibility and toggle on the switch.

**Reach Ability**

With reach ability enabled, you can pull down content on demand by swiping down at the bottom of the screen like that. This makes it easier to reach apps and content without having to stretch or lean down to access them.

**Spotlight Search**

To access spotlight search, simply swipe down on your home screen like that. Then, type in a query using the search box, and you'll have access to various features such as currency conversion, arithmetic calculations, and even searching from the web.

**Print to PDF**

If you want to print something directly from your device without needing an AirPrint printer, go into "print" mode and then pinch out on the print preview. This will create a PDF that you can share with other apps or use as needed.

**Airdropping Passwords**

Finally, if you want to share passwords with others, go into the Passwords and Accounts section of your Settings app. Find the password that you want to share and long press on the password dialog area. Then, select "AirDrop" from the menu, and tap on the recipient who has authenticated the password. The password will then appear in the Passwords and Accounts section of your Settings app.
