It is a decade already since Apple's  iPhone first launched all over the world. And over these past 10 years, iPhone has become one of the most popular in households.

But very few people know the extent of exactly what iPhones are capable of, especially Apple’s amazing virtual assistant, Siri.

According to the Mirror in the United Kingdom, the equipment has a range of features, from various uses of Siri to ways of maintaining the phone’s battery.


We have put together a list of 10 things you may be missing and how to enable the features.

You iPhone tracks each place you’ve been.

Press ‘Settings’, head to ‘Privacy’, ‘Location Services’, ‘System Services’, then scroll to the bottom and select ‘Frequent locations’.
