ISLAMABAD: iPhone users are discovering that the volume buttons on their devices serve more functions than just adjusting sound levels. Apple is known for incorporating clever tricks and hacks into their devices, and the volume buttons are no exception.
While most users are aware that holding the power button and one of the volume buttons together captures a screenshot, there are additional hidden functions that could prove to be remarkably useful. By holding down the power button and one of the volume buttons for about two seconds, users can quickly get in touch with emergency services through a text or call. This discreet feature comes in handy in situations where directly accessing the phone to dial emergency services may be difficult or risky.

Another useful function involves the phone alarm. Instead of hastily tapping the screen to silence the alarm in the morning, simply pressing one of the volume buttons will snooze the alarm.
When the camera app is active, users can also use the volume buttons as a shutter for capturing photos and videos. Pressing down one of the volume buttons will take a photo, and for video recording, holding down the button will start the recording, while releasing it will stop the recording.
These hidden features in the volume buttons provide more convenience and versatility to everyday interactions with the iPhone, making it a pleasant surprise for users who may not have fully explored all the functionalities of their device. Apple continues to impress its users with clever and practical tricks that enhance the overall user experience.
