Easily find specific words on Safari

One of the lesser-known but interesting features of the iPhone is how you can easily search for a specific word on Safari using the keyword search option. If you are reading an article on ‘Chinese fried rice recipe’ on Safari and need to locate a specific word or phrase, all you need to use keyword search instead of scanning the entire article. In the search bar, type the text you want to find, scroll down and select “On this page.”

Tap with three fingers to undo or redo

At times, it happens when you accidentally delete the entire sentence by mistake. Instead of creating panic, you can also tap with three fingers to “undo” or “redo” when in a text field. If you don’t want to use this feature, you can even shake your iPhone to undo your typing. Shake a second time to redo the action. If the feature gets activated by accident, you can deactivate it from the Settings app by selecting Accessibility, Touch, Shake to Undo and turning off the toggle.

Share a website as a PDF

A lot of times, when you spot an interesting article on a website, you take a screenshot of the article and share it with your friends. But there is a better way to share news articles, a listicle on a car or a recipe. On iPhone, you can turn any webpage into a PDF.

Open the website on your iPhone and take a screenshot. If you have newer iPhones with a notch, press and hold the “Side” and “Volume Up” buttons together until you see the screenshot animation. If you’re using an iPhone or iPad with a Home button, press it, along with the “Power/Sleep” button to take a screenshot. You see a little screenshot preview in the bottom-left corner—tap it. In the screenshot editor— Tap “Full Page.” Now, the whole page appears. You can either save the PDF to the Files app or export it to any app of your choice.
