3. Choose your Vibe
Go to Settings > Sounds > Ringtone > Vibration > Create New Vibration
Assign specific vibration patterns to different contacts, or use a non-standard one for all. Just tap-tap-tap; let your thumb tap-dance for your perfect rhythm.
2. Letter Passcode
But doesn’t a numeric keypad pop up? Yes, it does! But there’s a way to change that!
Go to Settings > General > Passcode Lock > Turn off Simple Passcode
Once you’ve done that, you’d be able to see a QWERTY pad and secure your phone with a letter passcode!
1. Tell Siri to READ your E-mails
All you have to do is say “read my e-mails” and let Siri take over. She’ll tell you who it’s from, when it came and what it says. You can even select individuals whose e-mails you want read.
If you haven’t tried your hand at some of these, we recommend!
