Editing a slow-motion video is incredibly simple with your iPhone slow-mo video editor. After you’ve taken your video, you can edit it in the Photos app; choose when you want the slow motion to start, when the video clip begins and ends, what filters to use, what rotation or cropping you want, and even exposure and saturation settings. Let’s get started learning how to edit slow-motion videos on the iPhone.

Apple's Photos App has some great features including Effect Suggestions, and it uses intelligent suggestions to improve the quality of the photos you took with the iPhone camera. This new iOS feature will help you edit your photos to be the best possible. Effect Suggestions selects photos that could be improved by adding a filter, adjusting the light, creating a loop, or by utilizing other effects available on your iPhone. 

Have you ever noticed that your iPhone will sometimes ring and then the volume will drop? This is likely because of the Attention Aware setting. The good news is that if you're having trouble with this feature you can easily disable it in the Settings app. Let's cover how to turn off Attention Awareness on your iPhone. 

Apple held its first event of 2022 on March 8 and, after burying the lede by announcing the new shows that are coming to Apple TV Plus, the tech giant announced some truly exciting additions to the Apple family. Perhaps the biggest piece of news is the release of a brand new Mac computer called the Mac Studio and a monitor to go with it called the Studio Display. In addition to the Mac news, we also saw a new M1 iPad Air in five beautiful colors, the iPhone SE 3 complete with 5G, a brand new M1 Ultra chip to power the Apple line, a new "Friday Night Baseball" program on Apple TV, and green colors added to the iPhone 13 line. Here are all the details on the new devices.

iPhone notifications and alerts can be really helpful, or they can be disruptive; luckily there's a way to change the way you receive Lock screen notifications on the iPhone, so you're not overwhelmed. A Lock screen notification is easy to customize without entering Settings. You have more options than ever before, so let's learn how to make your push notifications on your iPhone work exactly as you want.

Texting these days is more than just a short Hey, how are ya? Today, you can send friends and family funny GIFs, videos, and longer messages, as long as you enable MMS messaging on your iPhone. While SMS messaging only permits you to send links and text content, MMS stands for multimedia messaging service, and is what allows you to send rich media content.

For Christmas last year, I decided to splurge on myself by buying the Apple Watch. This was long before we even knew when an Apple Watch series 2 would make its debut, and I wasn’t willing to wait. I got it and quickly fell in love with all (well, most) of its features. Sure, apps loaded far too slowly, but I rarely used it for third-party apps. Having directions on my wrist when driving, skipping songs in two taps from the watch, and easily tracking activity throughout my day were the features I used and loved the most. But I got really tired of constantly being in touch. Honestly, I don’t need half the functions the Apple Watch has and I always feel slightly weird wearing one in public, “Walking Apple nerd, coming through.” So this Christmas, I decided to simplify. With a desire to improve my fitness in the coming year, I looked for a wearable that focused more on health tracking and less on everything else. I set a budget of a hundred dollars and required the wearable also be waterproof. Hello, Fitbit Flex 2 ($99.95). Here’s my five reasons I’m replacing my Apple Watch with a Fitbit Flex 2 this year.

If you want to use Face ID with a mask, up until now you haven't been able to unless you own an Apple Watch. As of iOS 15.4 Beta, your iPhone allows you to use Face ID with a mask. Those who don't have the iOS Beta, will be able to use this feature once iOS 15.4 is publically available. Here's how to set up Face ID with a mask.

A heavily requested feature for iOS 11 was Dark Mode. Dark Mode essentially turns white space black while leaving media, photos, and content the same. However, we did not get an official Dark Mode in iOS 11, and we haven't gotten one for iOS 12, either. Hopefully this will come out soon because macOS Mojave does offer this feature. For now, though, the next best thing is pretty darn fantastic. Inverting colors on iPhone in the past meant distorting the look of photos and content as well. But iOS 11 introduced Smart Invert, which is (almost) as good of a Dark Mode as we need. Here’s how to turn on Dark Mode or Night Mode in iOS 12 on iPhone, this will invert colors on your display and reduce eye strain.
