People are just realizing iPhone ‘magic trick’ lets you find it in the dark – easy phrase saves you time

A CLEVER iPhone trick can help you find it in the dark.

If you’re constantly losing your cell, it’s an essential Apple hack.

Instead of turning on all of the lights and scrambling for your iPhone, try a different trick.

You can simply ask Siri to turn on your phone’s flashlight.

This will instantly show you where your iPhone is – as long as it’s nearby.

Simply say “Hey Siri, turn my flashlight on.”

For this to work, you’ll need to make sure your iPhone is listening for “Hey Siri”.

So before you need it, go to Settings > Siri & Search and enable Listen for Hey Siri – as well as Allow Siri When Locked.

If you can’t see the iPhone after you’ve tried the trick, then you’ll need to try a different tactic.

Apple Watch owners can go into the quick menu and tap the buzzing-phone icon to make the iPhone ring.

And if you’re really stuck, try logging on to iCloud or using Find My on another Apple device to make sure your iPhone is actually with you.

Also, you can instantly deactivate the flashlight from your Lock Screen just by quickly dragging the screen to the left slightly and releasing.

This instantly shuts off the flashlight without you having to hold down on the main button.
