The iPhone 7 will be out in September, and most of us have upgraded to the latest iPhone 6S. With the existence of the IOS 9, pretty much everything about the iPhone has changed other than its physical appearance. Just like any other iPhone, the iPhone 6S has many cool features that even current users may not know. Why don’t you check out these features?

Wi-Fi assist

It’s a cool feature but can be pretty dangerous too. Turning on Wi-Fi assist enables the phone to use your cellular data if your Wi-Fi signal is low. So that means you won’t have to wait so long for your video to buffer but that also means your bills will go up if you have a limited data plan.

Shortcut from homepage

To make things easier, you can just select what you want to do in the app from the homepage shortcut. So if you want to use your camera for a selfie, just make use of the 3D touch and tap on the app for some time. The widgets should appear as above and you can access the app more conveniently.

Peek into emails, messages

Sometimes we don’t really want to wait for the email to load, or don’t really want to waste time opening unnecessary messages. So using the 3D touch, you can make use of the peek and pop system to check on your messages or emails without really opening them.

Hide secret photos

It’s a very useful feature for those of us who want to hide photos from other people; especially girls who want to hide the pictures of the boyfriend from their parents. While you can hide the pictures, it will not be hidden if you show your pictures under Collections.

Draw in your notepad
