As an iPhone owner, I tend to pretty much use my iPhone for the same things over and over, without really learning too many new tricks or tips. I'm sure many of you are the same with your smartphones.

For all you iPhone owners who might want to learn a new thing or two, you might enjoy this recent NYTimes article: 18 Things You Didn’t Know Your iPhone Could Do.

It should be noted that some of these tips might not work on older versions of iOS. For example, the "send later" option for text messages does not seem to be available for my phone's version of iOS (17.5.1).

But if you've upgraded to iOS 18, you should be able to use most, if not all of these suggestions.
