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

6. View Timestamp of text messages
iOS 7 provides the ability to view the timestamps for individual text iPhone tricks messages. You can check the timestamps of any conversation by simply swipe to the left. Timestamps will appear to the right side of the screen.

As an example, screenshot 12 shows what a typical iMessage conversation might look like. With a quick swipe to the left (shown in screenshot 13), 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.

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.

Apple has included self-destructing messages into the Messages app. You can send audio and video messages with expiration times.

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:

– Set Expire time in Video Messages section
