Now, we all love a hack that makes our lives easier, especially when it comes to using technology<\/a>, and after one iPhone user spotted someone using an unknown feature, they were blown away. <\/p>\n

From scrolling to sound and even text size, there are many accessibility options on offer to ensure that each iPhone user has the best experience possible. <\/p>\n

The different ways to make your iPhone work for you are easy to access in the settings app, but some are largely unknown. <\/p>\n

So buckle in as we teach you all about this feature that could change your life forever.<\/p>\n

This unknown feature could help every user<\/p>\n

Sometimes scrolling on an iPhone is a difficult task. <\/p>\n

For those with mobility issues, or if you find yourself stuck in a situation where your hands are unavailable, trying to get your iPhone to complete a simple task is grueling. <\/p>\n

\"Man<\/a>SB Media \/ Gemini<\/p>\n

Well, it turns out that Apple has a clever accessibility setting that allows you to carry out tasks on your phone with your head. <\/p>\n

Aptly called \u2018Head Tracking\u2019, this little-known feature can help you to tell your phone what to do by using elements such as facial expressions. <\/p>\n

You can open your mouth, raise your eyebrows, smile, and even stick out your tongue, so yes, you can almost \u2018lick your iPhone\u2019. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s all thanks to an onscreen pointer that is able to follow the movement of your head, and works when you cast your gaze on an item in a steady position, enabling you to carry out an action instead of tapping.<\/p>\n

There is a catch, though. You must have iOS 26<\/a> or later.<\/p>\n

How to set up the accessibility feature on your iPhone<\/p>\n

We weren\u2019t kidding when we said it was straightforward to set up<\/a>; in fact, you only need to follow a few simple steps.<\/p>\n

\"Man<\/a>Apple<\/p>\n

All you need to do is go to your settings app, click on the Accessibility tab, click on Head Tracking, and then turn it on.<\/p>\n

You will then be presented with lots of different options, and when you point your steady head at a location on the screen, a dwell timer begins. <\/p>\n

When the timer is finished, the action is carried out, and you can find more on how to use it on the Apple site<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So, there you go, this could be a game-changer for people who find an iPhone hard to use. <\/p>\n
