5. Set letter passcode instead of numbers

The default passcode setting in iOS 7 allows only four-digit numeric string, also known as simple passcode. If you are really worried about the security of your device, then opt for the complex passcode.

Complex passcode includes letters, numbers and special characters. It can be much longer than just four-digit characters.

As an example, what a typical iMessage conversation might look like. With a quick swipe to the left, you can now see at which time each individual message was sent. The previous versions of iOS would group these messages together under the same timestamp.

7. Boost device charging using airplane mode

You can boost device charging by enabling Airplane mode. There are some apps run in background mode (Eg. Facebook, Instagram, System built-in apps, Amazon, etc.) which consume battery. Also, radios that run Wi-Fi, cell phone signal, and bluetooth are all-consuming battery thus adding time for the device to get charged.

This means you will no longer be able to make or receive calls, texts, or e-mails or browse the Internet. Hence charging for the device gets boosted by 1.5 times.

You can enable airplane mode from Settings.

Go to Settings -> Airplane Mode and turn on switch control (turn into green)

Sometimes it becomes necessary to share your current location with someone (for example: traveling to a new place, traveling with strangers, etc).

In an earlier version of iOS (7 and below), you can share a location using the Maps app only. This doesn’t give constant location information. The maps app is the built-in app of Apple that facilitates apple maps and its services.

With iOS 8, you can share specific location information as well as continuous location data with anyone else who is also using the iMessage app.

Below are steps to share location information using the iMessage app:

Apple has included self-destructing messages into the Messages app. You can send audio and video messages with expiration times. This is really a very important feature that Apple has provided. It makes you send a secure message from a third-person device or confidential messages.

However, this feature works only if both people (sender and receiver) are using iOS 8. If anyone or both are using an older version of iOS, then these features won’t work. This provides some sense of security to people’s privacy since the audio/video will be deleted after a period of time.

You set an expiration time for audio and video messages using the below approach:

Go to Settings -> Messages

Set Expire time in Video Messages section

You have two options to set expiration time viz, two minutes or never.
