Your iPhone has SECRET ‘two-finger’ trick that almost no-one knows about – and it’s amazing

YOUR iPhone has a secret gesture that will help you get things done faster.

The little-known “two-finger” trick can be used across loads of apps.

It’s designed to help you quickly select multiple items in an iPhone app.

For instance, go into your Voice Memos app.

Now press and hold with two fingers on the top item, then drag down.

It’ll select all of the items very quickly.

Then move into your Apple Mail app, and try the same with your email inbox.

Magically, you’ll be able to quickly select loads of emails at once.

The trick was revealed by TikTok creator @theapplecollector, where it has hundreds of likes from impressed iPhone owners.

Note that it doesn’t work in all apps – for instance, there’s no support in Gmail.

But in an app created by Apple itself, you’ll have more luck.

For instance, it’ll work in iMessage and Notes – both official Apple apps.

Try it out on your favourite apps to see if you get anywhere.

Once you master the trick, it could save you loads of time.

But that’s not all…

There are some other little-known iPhone gestures that you might be interested in.

First, highlight some text that you’d like to copy.

Then pinch three fingers together on the display.

This will copy the text.

Then do the opposite gesture (by spreading thread fingers outwards) to paste what you’ve copied.

The trick works on anything you’d like to copy.

In fact, it even works on photos.

If you go into your Photos app and do the three-finger pinch, you can quickly paste that image into another app.

It’s an easy way to quickly move an image into WhatsApp or Messages.

For text, you can also add an additional pinch, and it’ll transform your Copy into a Cut.

That means the text will be removed rather than simply copied.

And one more…

That’s not the only quirky method of moving photos.

Simply go into your Photos app and hold your finger down on a photo.

Then without release, navigate to a Messages chat and drop the image on the char bar.

The photo you chose will then appear in Messages.

You can even select and hold multiple photos at once.

And lots of apps support this feature, so you can share to multiple places.

It doesn’t just work from the Photos app either.

Late last year, we revealed how you can also share iPhone photos from other places – including Google Images in a web browser.
