I don’t know about you but my kids do everything a I don’t know about you but my kids do everything at breakneck speed, even brilliant things like our recent trip to @edenprojectcornwall for a fun family day out. They loved it but raced around trying to see everything, barely stopping for breath! 😂 

Am I the only one whose kids do this?! 

Secret: I often go back to places just to see all the bits I missed!

Hidden iPhone features no.5 – Stop Sending Blurry Photos on WhatsApp

Did you know WhatsApp can send your photos in HD? If you don’t switch this on, your pictures are often compressed before they’re sent.

Here’s how to fix it:

1. Select the photo you want to send in WhatsApp
2. Tap the HD button on the top right of the photo screen
3. Tap Send and enjoy sending a much sharper image!

It’s a tiny change that makes a huge difference, especially if you’re sharing family photos, holiday snaps or pictures for work.

Save this so you don’t forget it, and send it to that one friend or family member who always complains that WhatsApp ruins their photos! 😂

Follow for more simple iPhone tips and let me know in the comments… did you know WhatsApp could do this?

And if there’s an iPhone feature you’ve always wondered about, drop it in the comments below—it might be my next tip! 🙂

iPhone Tip no.4 – Size Matters So Fill the Screen!

Ever wondered why your photos don’t fill the whole screen on FB, Instagram or TikTok? Chances are you’re using the wrong aspect ratio.

Here’s how to fix it:

1. Open your Camera app
2. Tap the row of dots in the top right corner
3. Tap the Aspect Ratio button in the bottom right corner
4. Select 16:9
5. Now your photos will make much better use of the screen, giving your content a more polished look

It’s a tiny change that can make a big difference, especially if you love sharing photos and videos online or with friends and family.

Save this so you don’t forget it, and send it to that friend who’s always posting videos with black bars or cropped-off footage! 😂

iPhone tip no.2 - focus 

Don’t let your phone decide what’s in focus. Here’s how to take back control. 

This is a simple one once you know what you’re doing. 

1. Before you take a photo or video just tap the screen on the main subject. 

2. You’ll see a yellow box come up. This tells you it’s worked and whatever you tapped should now be the subject of your photo or video. (Which means it’s in focus.)

3. Done! Do this every time and whatever’s important will always be in focus.
