This blog post will cover how to right click on an iPhone, and what some of its uses are in order to get more from your device.

What is a Right Click?

On a computer, a right click is the action of pressing the right mouse button.

This brings up a menu of options that can be performed. On an iPhone, a right click is performed by holding down the home button and then tapping the screen with three fingers.

This brings up a menu of options that can be performed. The options will vary depending on what app you are using and where you are in the app.

Why do I need it?

There are many reasons why you might need to right click on your iPhone. Maybe you want to save an image from the web or move a file from one app to another. Whatever the reason, knowing how to do it can come in handy.

How to right click on an iphone

To right click on an iPhone, you need to tap and hold on the screen. This will bring up a menu of options. You can then tap on the option you want. One great use for this is when viewing pictures in your phone.

If you’re in your photos folder and want to copy an image from one album to another, for example if you wanted to copy it from your phone camera album into your favorites album, all you have to do is go to the picture that you want, tap and hold it until a pop-up appears with three tabs at the top: ‘Open,’ ‘Copy,’ and ‘Cancel.’

Tap on ‘Copy’ then go to your other album where you want it copied. There will be two tabs at the top of this album: Add and Paste. Tap on Paste and now that photo has been copied over.

Uses of a Right Click on my iPhone

A right click on my iPhone can be used for a number of things. I can use it to access the app switcher, force quit apps, take screenshots, activate Siri, and more. Each of these functions can be useful in different situations.

What kind of devices can I use it on?

You can use it on any device that has a built-in Apple Pay feature, which includes;

• iPhone 6s or later
• iPad Pro
• iPad (5th generation or later)
• iPad Air 2 or later
• iPad mini 3 or later.

You can also use it on some Android devices that have NFC support. Right clicking gives you additional options beyond what is available with a simple tap. For example, you can access contextual menus, edit text, copy and paste, and more.

How to use 3D touch feature on your iPhone to right click

You can use the 3D Touch feature on your iPhone to right-click. This is helpful because it gives you access to more options and features. For example, you can access the Edit menu in apps like Photos and Mail. Plus, you can use 3D Touch to quickly preview links and files. Finally, 3D Touch can be used as a virtual trackpad to move the cursor around on your screen.

Taking screenshots of your work on your Mac can be really handy, whether you want to capture something that’s happening on your screen or need to save something you’re working on.

There are tons of different ways to do this, depending on the exact thing you want to screenshot and how you want to use it later.

Below are quick steps on how to take a screenshot on a Mac in the most common situations.

1. Open the app you want to capture

Open the app you want to capture. For example, open Safari and go to the website you want to capture. Or open the document, file, or image you want to capture.

To do this, click on the app’s icon in the Dock. If you can’t find the app in the Dock, click on Launch pad in the Dock, and then click on the app’s icon.

2. Press Shift + Command + 3

When you’re ready to capture your screen, use one of these methods:

I. Press Command-Shift-3: Hold down these three keys together (Command-Shift-3) until you hear the camera shutter sound.

II. Hold down Command-Shift while clicking anywhere on your screen: Press these two keys at the same time (Command-Shift) while dragging your mouse to the length your want to capture on your screen. When your are set, leave all keys and you’ll see that part of your screen dim briefly before it returns to normal.

NB: By default, screenshots are saved on your desktop with the name ”Screen Shot [date][time].png.” You can now use it for whatever you want to use for or move it to anywhere you want move it to.

One of the most challenging things about having an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch is the fact that you can’t just go in and change its factory settings.

For the average user, that might be fine, but if you’re trying to sell your device to someone else or return it to Apple because it’s no longer working, you may need to factory reset it before doing so.

In this article, i will show you how to factory reset an iPhone in different ways.

Are you bored of your iPhone running iOS 15 having the same look as all the other devices around? Do you want to add some flavour to how your iOS 15 device looks? Continue reading to find out more about iOS 15 customization.

For a long time, Apple users, especially iPhone users always lost the debate when it came to customization. But after the launch of the iOS 14 in 2020, Apple has now given its users some options when it comes to customizing their devices.

Since the launch of the iOS 14 in 2020 brought several customization features, many of us taught that the launch of the iOS 15 will also add several customization options but that didn’t happen. Aside from this not happening, it is still possible to customize iOS 15 on your iPhone to make it look more personal than the default.

To help you do that, this article is going to walk you through some of the best ways to customize iOS 15 on your iPhone. Interestingly, all the methods used in this article are free and do not involve the use of third-party apps or platforms.

Best Ways To Customize iOS 15 on Your iPhone

Create and customize your widgets

Widgets are very useful on iPhones since they help you to gain access to apps and content that you would have had to go through a long process to access. Some of these include news headlines, calendar appointments, the weather, stock market updates, the battery percentage of your device and other connected accessories, etc.

Widgets have been on Android devices for quite some time now, but they became available on iPhones last year when iOS 14 was launched. On iOS 14, users were able to add and remove widgets, change their layout and size, and move them anywhere on the home screen.

On iOS 15 however, you can add different kinds of widgets and choose what content you wish to see on each widget.

To add and edit widget on iOS 15 on your iPhone follow the steps below

1. Swipe all the way to the left of your screen until you see the widget screen
2. Swipe down the screen and tap the Edit button
3. Tap on the minus sign next to the already existing widgets to remove them and tap Done once you are done
4. You can follow the same procedure to add widgets. This time around instead of tapping on the minus icon you will rather tap on the plus icon

Once all the widgets are added, you can drag and drop each widget to wherever you want. This will make it easier to check for things like the weather, stock market details, etc. If you want to add a widget to your home screen, tap and hold on to the widget and then drag it to your preferred location on your home screen to make it more easily accessible.

Move the address bar in Safari from the bottom to the top or vice versa

Almost every browser in the world has its address bar at the top of the screen and not the bottom. On iOS 15 however, the address bar is located at the bottom of the screen by default giving you more screen space and easy accessibility of buttons.

This may not be liked by everyone so, if you wish, you can also reverse it back to the top of the screen. To bring back the address bar to the top, open the Safari browser on your iPhone, tap on the Aa button. A new menu will pop up, tap on Show Top Address Bar and the address bar will come back to the top.

In case you don’t know which one you like you can try both and choose the one that best suits you. Personally, I prefer the bottom address bar and I would love to hear your favourite in the comments section.

Change the app icons on your iPhone

By default, every app on the Apple App Store has a unique logo and once the app is installed on an iPhone, it also has an app icon. This is usually the logo of the app installed on the iPhone.

Before iOS 14 and iOS 15, users were restricted to the default app icons provided but now it is possible to change them to your preference. There are two ways you can change the app icons on your iPhone, you can do so by using a third-party app or using the Shortcuts app.

How to change the app icons on your iPhone using a third-party app

1. Download the third-party app from the App Store
2. Open the app and tap on the icon pack you want, and then press Install
3. When given a prompt, select Allow
4. Once the download is complete, open the Settings app on your iPhone
5. Tap on Profile Downloaded and then tap Install in the Install Profile Page
6. Enter your iPhone’s passcode
7. Select Install and then Done
8. Your app icon has successfully been customized

Conclusion

iPhone users unlike Android users are limited when it comes to customizing their devices but gradually, they are making headway. This guide explained some of the best ways to customize iOS 15 on your iPhone in detail.

Currently, the customizations available are not many but it is our hope that as time goes on, newer updates will be made making it possible to do more customizations on your iPhone. If you know of any other best way to customize iOS 15 you can share them in the comments section below and I will have a look at it.

For many years now, many people have been of the view that once you use an Apple product (iPhone to be precise), you are being restricted to some point. Although this is not entirely true, there is some truth in it. For example, if you are an iPhone user, you are only restricted to apps on the Apple App Store and nowhere else.

Among these, one of the things that iPhone users were limited to do was the inability to change the default music player from the default Apple Music app/player. This had been bothering many iPhone users who preferred other music players like Spotify, Pandora, YouTube Music, etc. until iOS 14.5 was introduced earlier this year.

If you are an iPhone user, then there are several things you enjoyed from the introduction of iOS 14 in 2020. Personally, some of the new features I enjoyed include the option to set a default browser and email app on your iPhone, all of which were not available in the iOS 13 or the earlier iOS versions.

This guide, therefore, is going to show you how to change your default music app on your iPhone and everything else related to how you can make the most out of this feature introduced by Apple in iOS 14.

How To Change Your Default Music Player on an iPhone

Currently, there is only one way you can change the default music player on your iPhone, i.e. using the Siri command on all iPhones running iOS 14.5 or later.

How To Change Your Default Music Player on an iPhone Using Siri

1. Update your iPhone to iOS 14.5 or later
2. If you are using the newer versions of the iPhone you can ask to play an artist, song, or album. You can do so by saying “Hey Siri, play Madina to the Universe by M.anifest”
3. If you don’t have the latest versions of the iPhone, you can press and hold the power button (iPhone X and above) or the home button (iPhone 8 Plus and below)
4. A list of all the music apps you have installed on your iPhone will pop up and Siri will ask “Which app would you like to use”?
5. From the list of music players shown, choose your preferred music player
6. When asked, confirm that Siri can access data from your music player
7. Afterward, Siri will play the music in the app of your choice. For example, if you choose YouTube Music, the music will play in YouTube Music.

Changing Your Default Music Player on an iPhone Manually?

As of the time of writing this article, there has not been any official document on how to change the default music player on an iPhone manually. But many iPhone and technology analysts have concluded that this feature will be introduced in the iPhone sooner or later.

As newer versions are introduced to the iPhone’s iOS, it is likely that Apple will add this feature in some of the newer iOS versions.

Conclusion

Up until the introduction of iOS 14.5, iPhone users had to tell Siri which app to play music from the onset. For example, “Hey Siri, play Madina to the Universe by M.anifest in YouTube Music. But after iOS 14.5, this is no longer going to be an issue for iPhone users since they can go ahead and use Siri’s intelligence to change the default music player.

Although you can now change the default music player on your iPhone, you can still use the old method of asking Siri to play music for you if you wish to use a different music player other than the default player. For example, you can say “Hey Siri, play Petite by NSG in Spotify” and Siri will play Petite by NSG in Spotify.

In conclusion, this intervention by Apple to allow iPhone users to change the default music app is a good thing since it now lifts the restriction that has been placed on iPhone users. Gradually, Apple is trying to allow its users to modify their devices.

The main reason why laptops and computers were made was to make work easier, faster, and efficient. This is the main foundation on which all subsequent computer models have been developed and manufactured.

There are over a hundred computer manufacturing companies in the world. Lenovo, ASUS, Apple, Toshiba, HP, Dell, Acer, Google, Huawei, LG, Nokia, Panasonic, Samsung, VAIO, Xiaomi, etc. All these brands are unique in their own way and most of them even have their own Operating Systems (OS).

But today, we are going to look at only one of these brands, Apple which is known mainly for its MacBook and Mac computers. Among all the brands mentioned above, one thing that makes Mac stand out from the rest is the efficiency and Operating System (OS).

As a result, most people who use their laptops for work purposes prefer Mac to the other mentioned brands. But what happens when you are working with your Mac, and you need to open multiple apps at the same time? Is it going to be a problem?

After reading this article, it is no longer to be difficult for you to open two (2) apps at the same time on your Mac. In this article, I am going to show you how to use Split Screen on Mac.

The Split View (or split-screen) feature was first introduced in Mac when the macOS Catalina was launched in October 2019. Thus, making macOS Catalina one of the best macOS that has ever been released (it’s debatable though).

How To Use Split Screen on Mac

Before you can use Split Screen on Mac, you must use Mac running macOS X El Capitan or later. If your device meets the requirements, then you are good to go.

How To Use Split Screen on Mac with macOS Catalina or later

1. Open an app you wish to use while using split screen on your Mac. (Red, yellow, and green buttons will appear at the upper left of the screen)
2. Place your mouse pointer over the green button and a pop-up menu with three options will be displayed (Enter Full Screen, Tile Window to Left of Screen, Tile Window to Right of Screen).
3. Click Tile Window to Left of Screen or Tile Window to Right of Screen to shift the window to the left or right of the screen respectively
4. Next, choose another app from the options available.

How To Use Split Screen on Mac with macOS Mojave, High Sierra, Sierra, or El Capitan

1. Open the two apps you wish to use while using split-screen on your Mac
2. Place your mouse pointer on the green full-screen button at the upper left and hold it
3. Keep holding and then drag it to the right or left of the screen
4. Release the button and choose the window on the other side to view the apps in split-screen view

How To Use Split Screen on Mac Using Mac Mission Control

1. Open any app window in the full-screen view on your Mac
2. Launch Mission Control using any of the following methods
3. On your keyboard, press the F3 key
4. Press Control and the up arrow at the same time
5. Swipe up with three or four fingers on the trackpad
6. Afterward, two thumbnails will be displayed the top of the screen
7. Drag and drop another app to the full-screen view thumbnail
8. Automatically, it will enter Split View mode
9. Finally, click the Split View thumbnail to open the split-screen

Conclusion

Split Screen is a cool and amazing feature that was introduced by Apple to help people who work on their Mac increase productivity and efficiency. But on the downside, not all the apps support the split-screen mode.

Others will not allow you to reduce their window size to 50%, meaning they will take up more space than the other apps. Aside from that, everything is cool, and all you need to do is to follow the steps listed in the article and you are good to go.
