Unless you stay on top of it, after a while, apps you download start piling up and eventually your home screen begins to sprawl. App Library cleans that mess up for you -- in a roundabout way. What it is: A home screen page one flick beyond your last home screen page. App Library lists all of your apps in smartly curated category folders that display the most recently or frequently used apps at the top and all your other apps by type.
How you'll use it: App Library doesn't reorganize your home screens for you. But it does organize all your apps in a new view so you can quickly find and open them without swiping through page on page. You can also search or scroll by app name. You can rely on the App Library as much or as little as you want to. If you'd prefer to curate your own app folders like you've been doing, the App Library will still be there as the final page of your home screen if you need it.
If you want a few customized pages but to use the App Library to quickly find everything else, you can choose which pages to hide and which to display. Or you can go all-in and have nothing except one custom page of apps followed by the App Library. How to get started: First, you'll trigger your iPhone's "jiggle mode" that you use to rearrange apps. Once you're in that view, you can tap the row of dots at the bottom of the screen and then check or uncheck home screen pages to keep or get rid of them from your typical view.
Apps from the pages you uncheck will then be accessible only from inside the App Library, which you'll get to by swiping right past the last page of your home screen.
What it is: Home screen widgets are large, dynamic "icons" that display live app data like the weather or your daily step count. You should be aware, however, that your video recording can randomly stop during very long recordings. If the iOS home screen will appear in your video, consider changing your wallpaper and creating a new page with just one icon. Before you record, make sure to decide which way will you be holding your device while recording: up-and-down or sideways.
If you do that, your recording will stop or the content will looked squished. To lock orientation: Hold your device the way you want to record.
Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to open Control Center. Tap the padlock icon. Turn off display zoom If you use zoom mode on a newer iPhone or iPad, you may want to turn it off. If you leave it on, you will not capture the full resolution possible.
Using an iPhone 6 in zoom mode, for example, generates a recording at x instead of x Your device will restart. If your device is muted via the silence switch, the audio coming from your device will not be included in your recording.
Because the music will compete with your narration. Instead of recording the music in real-time, you can record the sound effects and import the music later into your video editor as a separate track. Capturing is intensive and requires a lot of system resources. This is especially true if your device has a limited amount of storage. To make sure you get good performance during capture, close all other apps, including anything running in the background.
This ensures you know what you want to say and how you want to say it. For more information on how to write a script , we have a full, free lesson on it in the TechSmith Academy.
Or you may want to think about recording your audio separately after you record your screen. Looking for the best microphone? Check out our list of best microphones for recording video. Record in a quiet place Move to a quiet environment or at least isolate yourself and the microphone from noise. Recording in a clothes closet is also effective. To try this out, open Settings , press Notifications , and tap Scheduled Summary.
There are times when you might need to have certain information handy even when your phone is locked. That's why Apple allows you to enable some features without having to unlock your device. These include the notification center, Control Center, ability to reply to messages and the Wallet app, among others.
Scroll down until you see the Allow Access When Locked section, and toggle the sliders based on your preferences. It's been a long time coming, but last year's iOS 14 update finally brought the ability to choose your own default apps -- at least for email and web browsing. That means when you tap a link or a button for sending an email, your iPhone will automatically launch the web browser or email provider of your choosing rather than Safari or Mail.
To get started, open the Settings menu and select the app you'd like to set as a default e. Tap that option and select the app of your choosing instead of Safari or Mail. The first time you experience Apple's Face ID tech, you'll notice that you can't see the contents of new alerts and notifications on the lock screen.
For example, instead of seeing who sent you a text message and what it says, you'll only see a generic Messages alert. By default, all iPhones with Apple's Face ID tech will hide the contents of an alert until you pick up your phone and unlock it by looking at it.
It's a privacy feature that I rather enjoy, but I also get how it can be annoying and have heard a few complaints from readers and family members alike.
Conversely, you can select Never if you want to keep the contents of your notifications always hidden on the lock screen. All that jargon means your videos will be brighter with more accurate colors and improved contrast. Sounds awesome, right? It is.
But there's a problem -- not every app or service will work with HDR video. Developers will need to update their app s in order to accept HDR video, but even then, the person viewing the video will need a capable device to see the HDR difference. With the release of iOS 14 in , iPhone users have more options and control over what their home screen looks like than ever before.
The App Library , for example, acts as an app drawer, allowing you to remove apps from your home screen without deleting them.
Heck, you can even fully customize your phone's look with different app icons and widgets -- it's very Android-like, and there's nothing wrong with that. If you like the minimal look, then you'll want to make sure that newly installed apps aren't automatically placed on your home screen every time you download an app.
On an iPhone with 3D Touch, you can use a third-party app to play longer duration "Live" photos on your lock screen. Another home screen tweak you should make involves your wallpaper or background. Apple has added some new wallpapers of its own in recent updates, with a pretty cool twist. Open the Settings app on your iPhone and select Wallpaper from the list. Make sure the switch, labeled "Dark Appearance Dims Wallpaper," below the two thumbnail previews of your wallpaper is turned on.
Now, tap Choose a new wallpaper and select either Stills or Live. See the circle near the bottom of each wallpaper? It's half black, half white. That circle means that the wallpaper has a light and dark mode version and will change automatically based on the system status of your phone. You can also set live wallpapers as your background if you're not sold on dark and light mode.
Speaking of dark mode, if you don't want to have to repeatedly adjust your screen's brightness, you can use your phone's dedicated dark mode that's been proven to save on battery life. Dark mode converts all of the white backgrounds in apps to, more often than not, a black background. In turn, your phone is able to save battery power thanks to the darker colors. Apple's apps will automatically switch to a dark color scheme and most third-party apps have also adopted the feature.
We get a lot of notifications everyday, but not all of them are relevant all the time. Think of it as a sort of custom Do Not Disturb, but tailored to specific circumstances.
