It’s always good to work hard for your schoolwork. But what if you can work on it the smart way? Even better, right?
With your mobile phone, you can unlock a lot of workarounds to ease your already challenging academic life. Endless lectures? File transfers? Distractions? Don’t worry, we’re here to help you figure these out.
Ready to transform your routine? Let’s get straight to it!
Maximize Notes App for lectures and equations
With the integration of Apple Intelligence, the Notes App has become more powerful. Now, you can solve mathematical equations upon writing or typing an equal sign. Moreover, you can also draw diagrams, assign variables, and plot graphs.
In addition, it can help you summarize transcripts by simply hitting the record in the Notes App to capture audio recordings and transcripts. So now, you can focus on important details at hand.
Ease text scanning with Reading Mode
If ads and videos get in the way of your reading in Safari, Reader mode has got you covered. When you turn this on, it hides navigation menus alongside other distracting items.
Now, web pages are converted into a simplified format that allows you to focus completely on the text and images, stripping away ads, videos, and unnecessary buttons.
Turn on Focus Mode to avoid distractions
Imagine you’ve got a eureka moment for the conclusion of the essay you’re writing, and just when you’re about to type it, your phone suddenly rings. Annoying, right?
With Focus Mode, you can allow specific notifications or silence all of them for a certain period. Perfect for our besties who are eager to finish their tasks without distractions.
Tip: To quickly silence all notifications, open Control Center, tap Focus, then turn on Do Not Disturb.
Expand your learning horizon via Podcasts
Whether you’re interested in science, politics, current events, or comedy, the Podcasts app recommends shows that you can listen to depending on your preference. You can follow a show and add it to your library.
After that, you can enjoy listening offline, receive notifications about new episodes, access followed shows on your other Apple devices and on Apple Podcasts on the web, and more.
Transfer files using Airdrop and ditch the hassle
Have you ever sent your file from your iPhone to your messaging apps and then logged in on your Mac to download it? That’s a bit of a hassle, tbh.
But did you know that you can directly send files from your phone to your Mac using AirDrop? Yup, it allows you to wirelessly transfer photos, documents, videos, and more in just a snap of a finger.
Utilize Siri for requests
Siri can do more than just answer “What is the capital city of China?” It can also set a meeting for your classes or group work on the calendar. Or, if you don’t want to forget a task, add an item to your reminder list.
For iPhone models that do not have a Home button, press the Side button to make a request. For longer requests, press and hold the Side button until you’re finished with your request.
Copy text from images and videos
Did you know that you can copy text from an image or video on your iPhone? Yes, you can say goodbye to manually writing or typing long texts; just take a picture or save it in your gallery.
To do this, touch and hold a word and move the grab points to adjust the selection. If it’s in a video, pause it first.
Then, tap Copy.
To select all of the text in the photo, tap Select All. Now, you can paste it in your Notes App, documents, or other apps and share it with people.
Streamline your study habits
Studying doesn’t have to be a vast forest you need to navigate. It can be a stream, where everything flows in sync and smoothly. Using these practical tips, school work can be done with efficiency, allowing you to accomplish more.
