‘I can’t believe it,’ say iPhone owners after finding a secret trick to falling asleep

YOUR iPhone has a powerful trick that can help you fall asleep – and even just relax.

It’s tucked away so deep in the iPhone Settings app that is very easy to miss.

The feature is called Background Sounds and plays soothing sounds from a selection of options including Rain and Ocean.

An iPhone owner shared the feature in a Reddit post that has racked up more than 1,000 upvotes.

“I can’t believe it took me so long to find this,” they say said.

“The need to open YouTube for rain sounds is now RESOLVED. When did they add this?!”

“This feature made me fall asleep on a flight for the very first time. I slept for three hours on a plane, three precious hours,” cheered another.

And someone added: “Lately this is the only way I can sleep at home.”

There are several ways to customize the function.

For starters, you can adjust the volume within your settings, independently of the volume of your main device.

You can also allow background noise when media is playing, and also adjust the volume specifically for that scenario.

And there’s an additional option to stop sounds when locked, which you can enable in the Settings menu.

This will disable the feature when you lock your iPhone.

Finally, you need to choose a sound from the following list:

Balanced noise
Clear sound
Dark sound
Ocean
Rain
Current

You can change them at any time.

SOUND ON!

There are two smart ways to enable the feature.

The first is to add it to your Control Center.

That’s the quick menu that you can access by swiping down from the top right corner of your screen on iPhones with Face ID or by swiping up from the bottom on other iPhones.

To edit it, go to Settings > Control Center and make sure Hearing is added.

You can then tap the hearing icon (it looks like an ear) in your Control Center to activate background sounds.

But there’s an even faster way to enable background noise.

You can also go to Settings > Accessibility > Accessibility Shortcuts > Background Noises.

This allows you to triple click the side button on your iPhone to turn background sounds on or off.
