‘OMG this is so useful’ rave Apple fans over time-saving iPhone trick and say ‘I had no idea this was a thing’
APPLE fans have taken to Reddit to praise a lesser-known iPhone trick.
It’s great for music lovers who like to add to their playlists.
The tip was posted to the popular Reddit forum r/iphone.
It has over four million members and describes itself as “Reddit’s little corner for iPhone lovers (and some people who just mildly enjoy it…)”
One Reddit user posted about the trick by stating TIL, which stands for today I learned.
“TIL that you can drag songs onto the Now Playing bar to add anywhere to Play Next,” the Redditor wrote.
They even included a video of the trick and you can view a clip above that demonstrates it.
All you have to do is hold down a song on Apple Music that you’d like to listen to.
Then, drag it down to the Now Playing bar and hover over it without letting go.
The playlist you’re listening to should pop up.
You can then drop the song wherever you would like in that playlist.
This is a better alternative than adding the song to your queue, as it can play in the order you want.
Other iPhone users took to the comment section to praise the trick.
“I’m a big Apple Fan boy and I rarely get caught out by these TIL posts, but even as a day 1 Apple Music user, you just taught me something new!” one person wrote.
“Whaaaaaat?!? omg this is so useful,” another Redditor said.
“Damnnnn, I had no idea this was a thing,” another added.
iPhone tricks to try today
Here are some of the best...
- Typing cursor – When typing, hold down the space bar to turn your keyboard into a trackpad, letting you move around words and sentences more easily
- Close all Safari tabs – To do this in one go, simply hold the overlapped squares in the bottom right-hand corner, and press close all tabs
- Delete lots of photos quickly – Hold down on a photo and then drag your finger diagonally in Photos to select lots of images at once, then hit delete
- Convert currency quickly – Swipe down from the top of your Home screen, then tap in the bar and type a currency (like €200) and it will automatically covert to your local currency
- Check if you’re due a battery upgrade – Batteries inside smartphones degrade over time. Just go to Settings > Battery > Battery Health, and check out the Maximum Capacity reading. Generally a battery is considered worn when you’re down to 80% capacity. If you’re below, you can buy a battery swap from Apple
- Move apps around faster – Hold an app until it starts wiggling, then (while still holding) tap other apps, causing them to stack so you can move them around easier
