  • Hey guys I am holding the brand new Iphone 6+ out here.

  • What I am gonna tell you today is some of the hidden settings.

  • Or some of the hidden tips and tricks that you probably did not know about the Iphone

  • 6+. And I will try to show you some of those.

  • Now when I say you did not know the important keyword here is probably.

  • So of course it has you know it's been some days the 6+ is out.

  • It's been some days the IOS 8 is out. Now some of these tricks could be of the hardware

  • and some of the software. Some of them you might already know you might

  • not know any of these. You might know all of these.

  • But even if because of this video you just learned one new tip and trick.

  • I think my video would be the purpose would be successful.

  • Having said that let's start with some of the Hardware keys.

  • Now the Iphone does not leave you much tweak about the hardware like your Android's and

  • all. Mostly we have you know some keyboard codes.

  • Which actually let's you see some status and do some of the other things.

  • Let's check some of those the first thing is *#06# and it let's you see the IMEI number

  • of the phone quickly. Then you have *777# and call key.

  • This one will let you know what quick top up you can do over your current plans.

  • There you see local sms 100 local sms for 10 Rupees and all those stuffs.

  • The third one is *646# I am looking at my pattern letting you know because I always

  • forget this code. So you have Airtel live activated now I have

  • Airtel running on this. I don't know if you have Vodafone or let's

  • say Aircel running on this if they will pop or not.

  • They should because this generally pops up your service your ISP's you know service messages.

  • That's the third one the fourth quick one is *#21# and then call and it will show you

  • all your call forward status you can quickly see this and you can go to settings and change.

  • You cannot change right from there mind you. Last one *#30# and call now it will tell you

  • whether your calling line presentation is enabled or disabled.

  • This meaning the caller ID. So if it's enabled that means I will I can

  • see whose calling me I can see the number if that's disabled meaning I cannot see.

  • So that was some of the quick hardware tricks not big deal but quick status check kind of

  • stuff. Now we will quickly go to the IOS 8 the IOS

  • 8 came much before Iphone 6+ so this could not be very very new one.

  • Lot's of these things are in settings really. Now of course you know that with the 6+ came

  • with the feature called reach ability which actually makes slightly easier for you to

  • use this big phone the user interface mainly. So you just double tap out here and this guy

  • is gonna slide down. So that you can tap the icons that are over

  • here. Double tap again double tap somewhere to make

  • it otherwise normal again. But you can also disable reach ability from

  • these settings. Like you go to settings and then you know

  • this is the general settings basically. So go to settings and then general and then

  • accessibility and right here you have reach ability option.

  • So once you switch this off. Now your user interface not gonna slide down.

  • This is typically for people who do not like this you know feature per say or also for

  • some people who actually find it you know just a bit difficult in this two modes of

  • double tap on the home screen. One is double tap for the reach ability and

  • then double tap here to bring out the recent app.

  • So that you can close that. I find that lot of people who actually you

  • know just out of excitement or just out of let's say you know where when they do not

  • have time or something they just wanna do something in a hurry instead of just double

  • tapping this double tap that thing. Or you know the other way around.

  • So for them disabling reach ability could be a good thing.

  • I personally like that feature on the Iphone 6+ and it's a good thing.

  • It add to your experience which is what I think.

  • Now number 2 thing is that now IOS 8 supports widgets.

  • Well not to the level of Android's but you can just go ahead and tap edit and you can

  • see. If an app you know qualifies to place a widget

  • on notification screen you can now include it.

  • So once you include that you can see you have drop box.

  • So now drop box is gonna show you know some of my content out here.

  • You can straight away go to drop box right from here.

  • That's another thing you can have your Ipad or some of the other IOS devices to send and

  • receive messages on behalf of your Iphone 6+ if this has your sim slot.

  • For example I have an Ipad out here. Which is a WIFI only so obviously I cannot

  • send you know text messages because it does not take a sim.

  • But I can actually let it send and receive text messages and to be send and receive on

  • behalf of my Iphone 6+ so to do that. You need to go out here again we will go back

  • to settings right here. And then we will go out here we will go to

  • messages and then text sms you know forwarding. And here you need to switch this on and you

  • can see I have switched on my Ipad. The moment you switch this on it will send

  • a code from this number to your Ipad and you need to put that code in the message that

  • appears here. So that this guy now knows that you own the

  • Ipad. You know much like one time password kind

  • of a thing. Once you do that now whenever this guy receives

  • message something. Then I get it here.

  • I can send a message directly from my Ipad on behalf of my Iphone 6+

  • Now I have already entered the number of my other phone that's not this one.

  • The other number so I am just gonna say hai how are you and my Ipad is WIFI only.

  • So it should not send the text message but when I say this it's gonna send the text there.

  • You can see here it's written text message. So it has send a text message.

  • And the other phone which receives it will receive it from the Iphone 6+ because that's

  • typical message forwarding. It really helps when you know typically let's

  • say forgot your Iphones 6+ at home. You generally took your Ipad and the other

  • phone you know may be. But you wanna send a message here.

  • Now from this one. So that really helps out there.

  • The IOS camera let's you adjust the exposure settings a bit.

  • Now whenever you tap somewhere it's gonna focus that area.

  • But you will see this whenever you tap in that particular shunt.

  • You see this small scale and now once you drag up or down.

  • The exposure you can see increases or decreases which is really really helpful.

  • If you are let's say taking photo of a shadow area wherever there is a shadow or dark around

  • here. You can you know tap there you can focus that

  • part and then increase the exposure so that you can see out there.

  • Otherwise you know the average metering might actually make the photo very very dark.

  • If the surrounding is all light for example if you have a person you know standing in

  • front a beach. Then actually the person becomes very very

  • dull, Because the phone or the camera actually takes

  • an average metering. But if you tap that person and you can increase

  • the person and you can increase the exposure. You can actually bring the persons detail

  • into light. With some of the accessibility features you

  • can actually now you know make your phone gray scale.

  • Now I don't know if that would be any interest of for you.

  • But when you go to general you go to accessibility you can now make your phone grey scale.

  • May be if you like Black and white pictures or just to save battery power.

  • Because you know in color reproducing display losses lot of battery power.

  • So once you have your you know grey scale. It actually helps saving the battery power

  • up to large extent. But note that this is not the same as the

  • ultra power saving mode in some of the Android devices where grey scale is just a feature

  • of the ultra power saving mode. It also does many thing in the background.

  • Here you just letting the color go. Just making it grey scale.

  • But still it helps saving your battery. Now you can send your current location to

  • the one you know you are chatting or messaging. Let's say you are in a talk with a friend

  • much like what you can do with what's app. You do not need what''s app to do that anymore.

  • You can just go to detail and you can send them your current location right from here.

  • And then it will actually send him your current location.

  • We had to depend on what's app and some of the other you know chatting apps till now.

  • But now the IOS default messaging app supports it.

  • There you see it's already went. Another cool tip again.

  • If you go to detail then you can mute this person you know specifically.

  • So you do not need to mute all of them. All the person that you have been you know

  • messaging with. But let's say someone is harassing you some

  • marketing messages and those stuff. You can just go you can say do not disturb

  • and it's gonna mute that particular conversation. So guys that's some of the very very quick

  • tips and tricks and hidden features that I have come across in the hardware as well as

  • with the IOS 8. And I trust it might help you in some way

  • or the other. Even if one tip is actually becomes beneficial

  • for you. I think the purpose is solve.

  • My purpose is not to give you the feature. All of the features that you cannot or let's

  • say you haven't known yet. Because that's not possible in this age of

  • information. But I have just tried to show you some of

  • the cool quick tips and tricks that can make your life whole lot easier with the new Iphone

  • 6+. Thank you.
