‘This is going to change my life,’ say iPhone owners about a secret ‘white bar’ trick

APPLE fans are obsessed with a little-known (but extremely useful) iPhone trick.

It makes it much easier to switch between apps – and completely changes the way you use your iPhone.

For many people, exercise is in between iPhone apps means swiping away from one and then tapping the other.

But you can switch between apps with a simple gesture that’s easy to miss.

It was shared in a Reddit thread created by someone asking for tips, and received dozens of upvotes.

An user wrote: “This one’s cool: Instead of swiping up to switch between apps in the main scrolling menu, you can swipe left and right on the white home bar and switch between apps from full screen.”

Try this: look for the white bar at the bottom of the screen when you’re in an app and swipe from left to right.

Please note that sometimes it may be a black bar instead of a white bar.

This way you can quickly switch back and forth between your recent apps.

And you can also do this directly from the home screen, but you will have to drag your finger along the bottom edge of the screen.

I FIND!

Many iPhone fans were completely shocked by the feature.

‘I can’t believe it,’ say iPhone owners after finding a secret trick to falling asleep, saying it’s ‘the only way I can sleep’

One wrote: “OMG. I HAVE BEEN USING IPHONE 5 SINCE. I didn’t know this.”

Another said: “This is legit going to change my life lol.”

One added: “Oh s***. iPhone for YEARRRRS and had no idea. Thanks!”

And one user who already knew the trick wrote: “I copy names and emails from screenshots back and forth and paste them into Google Sheets.

“And this has saved me so much time this past year, it’s so fast.”

The feature is much faster than going back to the home screen to get your next one app.

But it’s only really useful if you’re trying to access recently used apps – and can’t find apps you rarely open.

KEYBOARD MURDER

There’s also another neat typing trick shared in the thread.

Sometimes it can be difficult to place the cursor on text you typed on an iPhone.

This is especially true if you try to drop it in the middle of a word.

But you can actually transform your iPhone’s keyboard so it works like a laptop trackpad.

Just hold your finger on the space bar of the iPhone keyboard and the letters will disappear.

You can then drag your finger across the virtual trackpad to position the cursor with pinpoint precision.
