Of course, you already know how to take a screenshot on your iPhone and share it via another app. But you may not have known that there is a much faster way to do this. It goes like this:
- Take a screenshot of the desired screen as you always do;
- Open the app where you want to share the screenshot;
- Hold your finger on the preview of the screenshot at the bottom left of the screen;
- Then drag that preview into the open app and release your finger.
Keep in mind that the preview will remain on the screen for about five seconds. So you have to complete the process within that time.
2. Quickly open a private tab in Safari
Chances are you open a private tab in Safari from the tab overview. While that works fine, there is a much faster way. And it’s much easier too. Instead of opening Safari in the normal way, just hold your finger on the Safari icon a little longer. A small menu will then appear, in which you can directly tap ‘New private tab’. It can’t be faster!
3. Quick Image Search in Google Chrome
If you want to search by image on your iPhone in Google Chrome, you probably do that via the Search Tools. But this can also be done much faster. Try it like this:
- Open the Photos app;
- Select and copy the relevant photo;
- Open Google Chrome and tap the address bar;
- Then tap on ‘Image you copied’.
You will then see the results appear automatically.
4. Select text faster
Most people know by now that you can use the keyboard as a trackpad when you long press the space bar. Less known is that you can then select text much faster.
- Long press the space bar and move the cursor to the desired spot;
- Hold your finger on the screen and tap the keyboard with another finger;
- Swipe your finger to select the text you want;
- When you’re done, take your fingers off the screen.
You can now just copy, cut or edit the selected text as usual.
