4 iOS 7 Features You Didn’t Know About

Whether you were anticipating with excitement or dreading the new Apple iOS 7, it is here!

Here are 4 features that we love about the new upgrade:

1. Feel like you need your reading glasses to see your phone? You can increase the text size to use “Dynamic Text” mode and increase the size in most apps.

To do so, go to Settings > General > Text Size and adjust the slider.

2. Ever wish someone would lose your phone number? Now you can block certain people from calling you.

Simply go to their entry in your Contacts and choose the ‘Block this contact’ option.

3. The Today View is a great way to see what you have on your plate for the day, including the weather.

To access the Today view, swipe down from the top edge of the screen. You can access it at any time from any screen including the lock screen.

To customize the Today View, go to Settings > Notification Center and in the Today view section, you can turn on and off Reminders, Stocks and Tomorrow’s Summary. To change the order of the items, select Edit and drag the items in the order you want them to appear.

4. The new Control Center is the place to quickly get to your most-used settings. Now you can access Airplane mode, Wi-Fi, flashlight, music controls and numerous other items by using the Control Center.

To access the Control Center, swipe up from the bottom edge of the screen.
