Generally, this data is used to curate more personal ads for you, and it is on android phones too. However, some apps collect much more data than others. Some even leave a trace of you wherever you pass. Now, if you do wonder which apps collect more data from your phone, all you have to do is look at the app’s privacy section on the apps store before downloading it. This is because some don’t have restrictions as soon as it is installed on your phone.

Since Apple requires all developers to list out all the data they track, you can see how much data a developer collects from you.

Tapping the back of an iPhone to trigger an action – creating shortcuts is a common thing among most apple and android users, and most are done in the settings of the phone. Interestingly, you can create those shortcuts by tapping the back of the iPhone. This accessibility feature is call Back Tap and it allows you to trigger system features like the Control Center by tapping the back of your iPhone two or three times. You can also Back Tap to launch a shortcut that you have created.

Deleting these apps doesn’t cause any harm to the phone and you can always recover through the apps store. In case you are afraid of deleting the apps, just offload them through the storage tab in settings.

Go to settings >> Music >> Audio >> Dolby Atmos – this will allow you to listen to spatial audio when you are using certain audio devices.

SHIFT YOUR KEYBOARD LEFT OR RIGHT. – The final tips and tricks about the iPhone are choosing the left-leaning or right-leaning of your keyboard. Most iPhone users navigate through their phones using one hand, but there are people whose hands are not that wide to operate a phone with one hand, even when the need arises.  This is because the keyboard of the iPhone and android are spread to the entire width of the screen.

All you need to do at this point is to press and hold the emoji icon at the bottom of the keyboard. This icon will change to globe if you have more than 1 keyboard installed. After few seconds of holding down the icon, a pop up of options of the left or right keyboard will appear, choose your preference and continue typing.
