iPhone 14 Tips and Tricks 2023
- Turn off the always-on display (14 Pro only)
The iPhone 14 Pro comes with an always-on display that dims the wallpaper and highlights the clock. While it’s turned on by default, you might find it not very helpful or draining your battery. To turn it off, head to Settings, tap on ‘Display and Brightness’, and toggle off the ‘Always On’ option.
If you prefer the display on during the day and off at night, you can set it up to switch off at nighttime as part of the sleep mode. Navigate to Settings > Focus > Sleep. Under the ‘Schedule’ tab, create a sleep focus to activate at a specific nightly time, and the always-on display won’t show at night when it activates.
- Enable the haptic keyboard
In iOS 16, Apple introduced haptic feedback to its stock keyboard, allowing you to feel subtle taps or vibrations while typing. To activate it, go to Settings > Sound and Haptics, then choose ‘Keyboard feedback’ and toggle on the ‘Haptic’ option.
- Battery percentage indicator
iOS 16 introduces a new battery percentage indicator that displays the actual percentage in the battery icon on your status bar. To enable it, navigate to Settings > Battery and toggle on the ‘Battery Percentage’ option.
- Change your notification style
By default, iOS 16 shows a count of notifications at the bottom of your Lock Screen. However, you can change this to display a list of actual notifications or a stack of notification windows. Open Settings > Notifications and choose one of the other two options under ‘Display As’.
