This is especially useful for students that are studying outside (after circuit breaker ends) and has forgotten to bring a calculator. All you got to do is turn your phone sideways and a calculator with more functions will appear. Remember to unlock your screen orientation!

#4 Ask Siri to help you take a picture

Everyone knows that Siri can answer our questions but did you know Siri can help us open the camera function too? This is especially needed when our hands are too full and yet we would still want to capture a scenic picture of the view.

#5 Use the camera as a magnifying glass

If you tend to have a lazy eye or your vision isn't particularly clear at times, you can go to your settings > accessibility > turn on the magnifier. Once the magnifier is on, you can then zoom in on anything using your iPhone camera and use the screen to see it easier.
