Avoid accidental app purchases:
Even though Apple is pretty vigilant about keeping rogue apps and developers out of the App Store, there are many who will manage to sneak in now and again.
Among the usual suspects are those applications which hide expensive in-app purchases.
There have been too many instances of people unknowingly spending money on in-app purchases or finding out that their kids innocently racked up credit card bills on such buys.
The customization options for preventing accidental purchases is however difficult to find, which is why many folks don’t know about it.
Go to Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > iTunes & App Store Purchases > In-app Purchases, and select Don’t Allow.
The iTunes & App Store Purchases section also lets you set up the controls so a password is required even after you’ve downloaded a paid app or made a previous purchase.
Content & Privacy Restrictions also enables parents to set kid-friendly restrictions such as the amount of time spent on the iPhone, incoming calls that are allowed during screen downtime, blocking of inappropriate content and so on.
Can’t backspace on calculator, no problem:
We’ve come to one of the best-kept secrets of the iPhone, and probably one the most anti-intuitive features which should have been given the boot long ago.
The calculator app on the iPhone doesn’t have a backspace button for some reason.
You’ve probably been angrily hitting the C for Cancel on the top left side of the keypad and seeing the entire number you’ve entered getting deleted after entering a single wrong digit. Stop doing that.
Just touch the number you’ve typed or any area above it and swipe towards the left or right of the display.
This erases one numeral at a time, while the Cancel button rubs away the entire number you keyed in.
