This feature is seldom used but it is still unique for iPhones.

This is also a feature known by little people. When you sign up as a member of some websites or register for Emails, you will need to create an irregular password. On this time you can turn on Siri and say “create a passcode” to her, then Siri will generate a list of random passcodes from Wolfram Alpha. This is pretty cool because each generated passcode is unique with different length. You will turn on Sari for help next time you need to create a new passcode.

 

 

4. Manually refresh your Wi-Fi networks list

When you turn on Wifi on Settings, there is a little searching bar on the top and you need to wheel up to search for new Wi-Fi networks near you. The Wi-Fi networks are automatically refreshed every 10 seconds and you need to back to settings and tap Wi-Fi again for manually reloaded. Well, there is a simple trick that you can quickly refresh your Wi-Fi network list. You can half pull the Wi-Fi network list to the right and then the Wi-Fi network will be reloaded. This is quite useful because when you need to switch to a new Wi-Fi network, you can quickly refresh the list to search it if it doesn’t show up.

Apple has moved the iOS 12 system the ability to check the specification of your iPhone battery usage. You may go to settings and tap on Battery to check every 24 hours or 12 days of your battery last charge level.

The iPhone XS and XS Max have a feature of two SIM cards support. This makes the convenience of your daily phone calls with two different numbers. And also, iOS 12.1 has a feature inside the cellular to add a cellular plan.

Tap on the right then you can see it.

Apple upgrades the iOS 12 with the feature of searching lyrics in music Apps. This is so useful for most music lovers because they don’t have to do it on the internet anymore. You can tap on the magnifier search icon on the right bottom, you can search the lyrics of the song you like here. This is very cool for us.

This is a small feature in Safari. When you open different website layers, there will be a little website icon next to the website on the right side. Go to Settings >> Safari >> turn off show icons in tabs. You will find the little icons are gone when you switch to the website layers. This is a nice visual tweak for iOS 12 in iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max.

 

 

10. Tell Siri to show all your passwords

This is a good tip I used every day. I don’t usually make records on my passwords in notes because I tell Siri to show all my passwords. Just open Siri and say “show me my passwords” and then she will show all the records of your passwords in a list. Just choose the right one because Siri has been restored in the system. It is very convenient and also very useful.
