The latest iPhone series, the iPhone 11 series comes with iOS 13 with some great additional features including dark mode. Understanding your display and home screen features will help you get the best out of your iPhone 11, iPhone Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max. Check out our tips below.

Go to Wi-Fi settings quickly


Press the settings icon for a long time, this opens up a small window to the Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Battery and mobile data settings.

Arrange Home Screen Icons


Google has removed the pressure sensitive display so several of the force tough actions and long press actions have changed too. You have two choices to arrange your icons on your home screen. Tap the app you want to arrange and hold down, then tap “rearrange apps” which will appear in the pop up menu. The second option is to hold press and drag the icon to where you want the app to appear.

Markup and crop screenshots


First, take the screenshot and a small preview of your screenshot will appear at the bottom left hand corner of the display. Tap the small image of the screenshot and a list of tools appear that allow you to edit the screenshot or add additional text and crop the image.

Enabling Dark Mode


Dark mode is great for using your phone in bed. Removing the annoying blue light that keeps you up at night. Click on your settings icon, head over to display and brightness and you to toggle dark mode off and on.

Getting Rid of Stock Apps


Stock apps are usually apps that Apple needs on the device, however sometimes commercial agreements are made to ensure certain apps are on the device when it's sold. When Apple released their iOS 11 update they made a change to allow you to remove these apps. Simply long press on the app until the X appears then click the X, you will be asked to confirm the removal of the app. If you do want the app again you can simply download it again from the app store.

Here you can change to a stock image, one of your own images or a downloaded image.
