A good number of new features were revealed by Apple in WWDC 2013, but there are a lot of other features which Apple didn’t announce. These Hidden and potentially useful features were found by different developers in the Beta release of iOS 7.
2. With iOS 7 Apple has unleashed a number
of new features such as the flash light, anti
theft/activation lock features, photo app,
and AirDrop. All these features were
revealed by Apple in WWDC 2013, but
there are a lot of other features which
Apple didn’t announce.
These Hidden and potentially useful
features were found by different
developers in the Beta release of iOS 7.
3. Timer
Whether you're timing a run or
cooking dinner, the clock timer in
iOS is a great tool. Apple has
included a subtle, handy addition to
timer: you can now view it from the
lock screen. Furthermore, iOS 7 also
shows you how long you've got left
on your snooze timer.
4. Passbook
Passbook has quickly become one
of my favorite features in iOS. Now
the company takes it one step
further, making it easier than ever to
add your cards. In iOS 7 you can
add them just by scanning a QR
code.
5. Direction Lock
Direction lock is now available on
iPhone as well. Can be found easily
in the setting you get by swiping.
Really neat feature
6. Accessibility
Apple has added a few new features in the Accessibility menu
in Settings in iOS 7. First off is the “Enhance Text Legibility”,
and it really does a great job of not only making the text larger,
bug bolder as well. Also in iOS 7 is moving backgrounds, and
whether it be a regular wallpaper of “Dynamic”, it moves when
you move the phone.
7. Unified Safari search field
Apple has updated its web browser app by combining its URL
and search fields into one. On iOS 7, when users type in the
field, they'll receive website and search suggestions in the
same place.
Simpler notifications with day summary
Apple has cleaned up the Notification Centre by dividing it into
multiple sections. The primary section, called "Today", features
a neat summary with helpful information about the day, such as
the weather and what you have on your schedule.
8. Block callers
Have an unwanted person calling or texting you? On iOS 7,
you'll be able to quickly go into their contact information, scroll
to the bottom and select "Block this Caller" to keep from hearing
from him or her again.
Disable Ad Tracking
You can now disable ad tracking on your iPhone.
