Query passwords, delete duplicates, display calendar weeks – six useful iPhone tricks
Have you ever forgotten your password?
No problem, it happens to the best.
But instead of resetting the password as usual using your own email address or mobile phone number, Siri may be able to help, as

reports via Instagram.
The iPhone trick: If the passwords have previously been saved in the system, the voice assistant can be asked for them.
Before the answer comes, your own identity must of course first be confirmed - for example via Face ID.
Another iPhone trick is to merge duplicate photos and videos.
Users do not have to search for these manually, but can view them with just a few clicks.
To do this, the preinstalled “Photos” app must be opened.
Under the “Albums” section there is the “Duplicates” option.
This automatically generated folder displays photos and videos that appear twice in the photo gallery.
Deleting the duplicates can save a lot of disk space.

Anyone who works in the office usually needs to know which calendar week it is - be it for organizational or communication reasons.
It is all the more annoying when these cannot be viewed in the pre-installed “Calendar” app.
Or does it?
In fact, there is an iPhone trick to make the calendar weeks appear.
To do this, the “Calendar” section must be opened in the settings.
In addition to other options, the number of weeks can be activated here.
These iPhone tricks make everyday life easier: music timers, shortcuts and hiding apps
There is good news for all music and podcast lovers: There is also an iPhone trick that can be used to stop playback automatically.
The “Timer” section can be found in the pre-installed clock app.
At the bottom there is the “Stop Playback” option.
If this is activated, there will be no alarm sound after the time has elapsed.
Instead, the music or podcast is paused.
This can come in handy if you need something to cover your ears while falling asleep.

Shortcuts on iPhones, on the other hand, are nothing new.
But hardly anyone knows that various functions can be activated by tapping forcefully on the back of the smartphone.
This makes it possible, for example, to start the camera or other apps and take a screenshot.
Users can find the selection option in the settings under “Accessibility”.
After the “Tap” option is selected, you will find “Tap on Back” at the bottom.
Struggling with a cluttered home screen but don't want to delete the apps?
There is a simple iPhone trick for this that was introduced with a system update.
If the user presses and holds an app and then selects the “Edit home screen” option, it can be removed using the minus symbol.
The app is then not deleted, but is instead in the app library.
This makes it possible for iPhone users to design the home screen as they wish.
Summarized:
Siri can be asked for the password.
There is no need to manually search for duplicates from the photo gallery.
Calendar weeks are displayed after activation.
There is a music and podcast timer.
Various functions can be activated using shortcuts.
The apps on the home screen can be hidden.
Recently, a security gap in iPhones caused a stir: the pre-installed Shortcuts app risks uncontrollable data exchange.
Companies and private users are affected.
