To change these display settings, simply go to Settings >>General >>Accessibility >then turn on Grayscale or Invert Colors.

#9. Double tap caps lock button for keeping caps-lock on

This is very easy to do, yet totally changed the ability to CONVEY HOW MAD OR EXCITED I WAS to my friends with-out having to hit the shift arrow every time i type.

If this is not working, just go to Settings>>General>>Keyboard and make sure that CapsLock is enabled.

#10. Get your iPhone’s flash to blink when you get a call or message

If you think that sound or vibration that your phone makes when you receive a call or message is not enough to attract your attention, then there is another element that you can put to the alert – Flash light. Simply go to Settings >> General >> Accessibility and scrolling down to the Hearing section (this feature is well designed for the people with hearing impairments), here you can turn on LED Flash for Alerts. Now everytime, you get a notification, the LED flash near your iPhone’s back camera will blink.

#11. Turn off all in-app purchases with single button

This is must if you have kids at home, or have zero self control when it comes to the Candy Crush. Just go to Settings -> General -> Restrictions, Enable Restrictions and then scroll down to disable ‘In-App Purchases.’

#12. Set Vibration Pattern

Yes! You can also change the vibration pattern for your notifications. Go to Settings –> Sounds –> Ringtone –> Vibration –> Create New Vibration. Here you will be able to recognize who is texting or calling you just from the vibration.
