There are plenty of features that Apple iPhone fans love about their devices. While you may be an iPhone loyalist for years who already knows the ins and outs of your gadget, there might be a couple of useful iOS hacks you haven't discovered yet. You can make your life much easier with these tricks, some of which shared on TikTok by user Jessica Wang.
iPhone users, these hacks will make your life easier:
Take a screenshot of the entire webpage
Taking screenshots of an entire article can be tiring, not to mention it fills up your phone gallery fast. Did you know that you can take a photo of the entire website in one go? When you take your regular screenshot, pause before saving (or deleting) and choose "Full Page" capture instead of the default "Screen."
Hide your selfies
Too shy to show the exact number of selfies you take before you choose the one that ends up on your feed? It's not a bad thing to have options, but if you want to hide photos in your gallery, here's what to do.
Go to your gallery and select the photos you want to hide. Tap the Share button (the square with an upward arrow), then choose Hide (eyeball symbol). It's that easy!

Quickly turn photos into PDFs
Need to send documents for work, but don't have a scanner at home? No problem. Press down and hold the Notes app, then select "Scan Document" from the pop-up menu. Go ahead and take those photos! You can choose to store the PDF on your phone or share it with other people.
Easily share your location instead of typing out the entire address
Ever rushed out to run errands and forgot to tell someone where you were going? Instead of typing out the entire address, simply turn on your Location Services in the Privacy settings, then type out "I'm at" in iMessage. You'll see "Current Location" in the fill-in bar above the text box.

Find a specific word when using Safari on mobile
If you're reading a pretty long article on Safari and lost your reference point, it can be pretty annoying to have to scroll up and down just to find a specific sentence. Solve this problem by typing your keyword in the search bar on top. Instead of selecting the blue "go" button, read the options displayed on your phone screen and select Find
