So you've got a shiny new iPhone 15 or the, iPhone 15 Pro,and you're already in awe of the USB-C port or the new titanium frame. But did you know you can set a battery charging limit to prolong its life or use your phone as a power bank to charge other devices? Similarly, quite a lot of hidden or lesser-known features have slipped their way into the new models.

Enable Charging Optimization to prolong battery's life

For years, we've known and heard that keeping an iPhone's battery between 20% and 80% increases its life and prolongs damage due to regular use. However, there hasn't really been a simple way to do this. With iOS 13, Apple released Optimized Battery Charging, a feature that delays charging past 80% so that your iPhone spends less time fully charged. Even with the feature, your iPhone will likely sit at 100% battery until you unplug the cable.

With the iPhone 15, though, Apple provides a new Charging Optimization feature that limits the battery to 80% all the time. To enable it on your phone, head to Settings > Battery > Battery Health & Charging, and select Charging Optimization. In the following menu, select 80% limit, and your iPhone won't charge beyond that, except on rare occasions to maintain accurate estimates. This hidden feature should help you extend your battery's overall life and ensure you don't need repairs anytime soon.

Shorts is YouTube’s fastest-growing content format, now driving more than 50 billion daily views in the app. Given the popularity of the option, YouTube has been developing new ways to better highlight Shorts, and keep more people in the app for longer, which could present even more opportunities to boost brand awareness and engagement with Shorts clips.

There are some smart innovations here, that can help you create more standout Shorts clips, without having to re-shoot or undergo significant editing.

YouTube has rolled out a new option to help you reformat your long-form content into Shorts, which could be a handy option for those looking to tap into the popularity of the Shorts format.As outlined by YouTube Creator Liaison Rene Ritchie, YouTube’s new Shorts editing UI, accessible via the “Remix” option on your clips, provides access to a range of editing tools to reformat your clips into the Shorts format.

As you can see in this example, the updated Snap settings will make it easier to get a quick overview of your child’s settings on each element, which you can then tap through and edit if needed. Which will come in handy, because Snapchat’s UI is not generally very user-friendly, which can be challenging for unfamiliar parents to contend with.

Early tests of My AI chats found that the bot would readily provide advice to teens on how to mask the smell of alcohol and marijuana, while also offering advice on sexual relationships, and other potentially inappropriate topics. Snap has been working to improve My AI to eliminate such responses, but it’s also a good move to give parents the extra reassurance of an opt-out, if they choose.
