10 extremely useful tips for iPhone running iOS 26

(NLĐO) - Through successive versions of iOS, Apple continuously adds new features to the iPhone, but many useful utilities remain undiscovered by users.

According to Macrumors , here are some notable tips for iPhone users running iOS 26 or later:

Turn apps into widgets.

Users can quickly turn most apps into widgets – convenient features that display information directly on the home screen without opening the app. Simply press and hold the app icon, then select one of the display sizes shown at the top.

This feature applies to both Apple and third-party apps (if widgets are supported). To return to the regular icon style, simply press and hold and select the four-square icon in the upper left corner.

Review the places you've been to.

The Maps app allows users to review their travel history, which is very useful when they want to find places they've been to before, such as restaurants or tourist attractions.

To access: open Maps -> tap on profile -> select "Places" -> "Visited". Places will be categorized by category (entertainment, shopping, etc.) and by province/city.

Users can delete history or set a storage time limit. To disable it completely, go to: Settings -> Maps -> Location -> Visited Places.
