There’s a full slide-up keyboard available for text entry, and you can use voice search just like you would in any other app. It provides the same features but with a better touch interface for the user. This remote might even be more useful than the Siri Remote. This widget searches for and connects to Apple TVs on the same Wi-Fi network.
Apple TV RemoteĬontrol your Apple TV with your iPhone. Force-touch the Screen Recording icon, and you can choose the screen recording’s source and toggle the microphone availability. To end the recording, tap the screen recording widget (which is now red) once more or tap the red banner at the top of the screen and then tap “Stop” on the pop-up alert. While your iPhone’s screen is being recorded, a red banner will display at the top of the screen. Taping this widget will start the countdown to produce a screen recording. If you want to get access to this setting at any time, add the Low Power Mode widget to Control Center. This mode selectively disables different background functions to reduce battery drain and prolong battery life. When your iPhone battery drops below twenty percent, an alert will provide the option to turn on Low Power Mode. It’s not just for eavesdropping, either – it allows folks with difficulty hearing to selectively “tune in” to the sounds in their environment by positioning the microphone for optimal capture. If you have AirPods or Made For iPhone hearing aids, you can use the Live Listen function to transmit the sounds picked up by your iPhone’s microphone into your hearing aids or AirPods. These are most useful for people with low vision or who are color blind. The filter button offers several vision-aiding filters, include red-black, green-black, and blue-yellow. The lightning bolt icon turns on the flash, illuminating the scene and helping brighten the corners. The lock icon locks in the current focus point. The white shutter button grabs the current view and locks it in place in the viewfinder but does not save the picture to the camera roll. This gives you a handheld “magnifying glass” by virtue of your iPhone’s camera lens. The Magnifier shortcut instantly opens the camera and zooms in. Control Center widgets can be added and removed in “Settings -> Control Center -> Customize Controls.” The order of the widgets can be changed by dragging and reordering items in the list.
