How to Disable Tap To Wake on iPhone X

written by applenws

The iPhone X includes a feature called Tap to Wake, which, much as it sounds, allows the locked iPhone screen to wake up with a tap anywhere on the screen. This makes a lot of sense because the device does not have a Home button to press and wake the screen, so a tap anywhere on the display sort of replicates that Home press function, but Tap to Wake may also lead to a lot of unnecessary screen waking, and theoretically any erroneous screen waking may lead to a detriment to battery life.

Many users like Tap to Wake and find it to be convenient, but if you don’t like the feature or you’re concerned about waking the screen repeatedly either on accident or not intentionally, then you may want to disable the Raise to Wake feature on iPhone X.


It’s worth pointing out that iPhone X defaults to enabling both Tap To Wake and Raise To Wake, so if you disable one, you may want to keep the other enabled, or perhaps disable both if you don’t want to use either alternate wake function.

How to Disable Tap To Wake on iPhone X

  1. Open the “Settings” app on iPhone
  2. Go to “General” and then choose “Accessibility”
  3. Scroll down and locate “Tap To Wake” and toggle the switch to the OFF position
  4. Disable Tap to Wake on iPhone

  5. Exit Settings and use iPhone as usual

Now the iPhone X will no longer automatically wake the screen just by tapping it, instead you will need to either rely on Raise To Wake (unless you disabled Raise to Wake on iPhone as well), or pressing on the side power button to wake the screen.

Tap to Wake on iPhone X

It’s not immediately clear why this setting is located in Accessibility rather than the Display settings on the iPhone along with Raise To Wake and other screen adjustments, but for the moment that is where Tap to Wake settings are found in iOS.

Note if you disable both Tap to Wake and Raise to Wake, then unlocking the iPhone X will likely feel or appear a bit slower, because you have to manually wake the screen and then either use Face ID to unlock, or use the slide to unlock gesture on iPhone instead of Face ID. Basically by disabling these features you require an additional step of manually waking the display before being able to access iPhone X.

How to Enable “Tap To Wake” Screen on iPhone

Of course if you decide you regret disabling Tap To Wake you can immediately turn it back on again at anytime by returning to Settings:

  1. Open the “Settings” app in iOS
  2. Go to “General” and then to “Accessibility”
  3. Locate “Tap To Wake” and toggle the switch to ON position

This returns the iPhone X to the default state where Tap to Wake is enabled.

If you use Face ID to unlock iPhone, then if you tap on the screen while looking at the iPhone and swiping up, it will unlock the device and send you to the home screen. This happens quickly and seamlessly, similar to how unlocking a iOS device with Touch ID works.

iPhone X home screen

The Tap to Wake is a handy feature overall and is obviously valuable on the iPhone models that are missing a Home button, so expect this feature to be adopted on future iPhone and iPad devices as Face ID replaces Touch ID and the Home button over time. For this reason, amongst many others, you may just want to get used to tapping the screen to wake the display of your iOS devices.

How to Show Battery Percentage on iPhone X

written by applenws

If you have an iPhone X you may have noticed that the battery percentage indicator is not an option to enable in the device settings. This is probably because the prominent notch at the top of the screen, which houses the front facing camera and the phones ear speaker, does not allow for sufficient room on its sides to fit the battery percentage indicator.

So how do you see the battery percentage indicator on iPhone X? And how do you know what percentage charged the iPhone X is, or how much percentage charge is left on the iPhone X battery?

With iPhone X, there is a way to see the battery percentage on the phone, but it’s probably not where you’d expect it to be.


That’s because battery percentage on iPhone X is now tucked into Control Center. Thus, you must access Control Center to see the battery percentage on iPhone X. Well, technically there’s another way too with charging the iPhone X, but we’re emphasizing the Control Center approach here.

How to See Battery Percentage Indicator on iPhone X

Open Control Center on iPhone X, which is different than opening it on any other device, and you’ll find the battery indicator you are looking for:

  1. Swipe down from the top right of the iPhone X screen (the portion of iPhone X screen to the right of the Notch) to access Control Center
  2. Look in the upper right corner of Control Center to see the battery percentage indicator next to the battery icon
  3. View the battery percentage indicator on iPhone X

Anytime you want to see battery percentage on iPhone X, just open Control Center.

Show battery percentage indicator on iPhone X

This is notably different from other iPhone or iPad models without the screen notch, where you can use an iOS setting to show battery percentage all the time in the top icon bar.

Seeing Battery Percentage Indicator on iPhone X When Charging

There is one other way to see battery percentage on iPhone X: when charging the phone.

When you start to charge iPhone X either with a pad charger or plug-in charger, you will see the battery percentage as well splash on the screen briefly. Just plug in iPhone X or rest it on a plug-free conductive charger, and you’ll see it briefly.

But that’s much less convenient and you likely won’t use that method if you’re on the road. So we’ll focus on the Control Center approach instead.

It’s possible Apple will change who you invoke Control Center on iPhone X and place it into the App Switcher like it is on the iPad now, and it’s also possible Apple will enable some other way to see the percentage of battery on iPhone X without having to access Control Center. But for now, open Control Center on iPhone X to see the battery time remaining.

How to Disable Emergency SOS on iPhone X to Stop Accidentally Dialing 911

written by applenws

The iPhone X offers an Emergency SOS feature which will automatically dial 911 when the devices side buttons are held down for several seconds. The Emergency SOS countdown then starts blaring an alarm and counts down from 3, 2, 1, before dialing emergency services on your behalf, thanks to a feature called Auto Call. While this could theoretically be useful in some extreme scenarios, it can also be triggered surprisingly easy by simply trying to force reboot the iPhone X, taking a screenshot on iPhone X, by trying to temporarily disable Face ID, or even just by accident of holding down a few buttons.

With a little settings adjustment, you can disable Auto Call with Emergency SOS. With the feature disabled, you can still use Emergency SOS, but you will have to swipe the onscreen Emergency SOS control to dial emergency services, rather than simply hold down the iPhone X hardware buttons.

How to Disable Emergency SOS Auto Call on iPhone X

This disables auto calling of emergency services by holding down buttons on the iPhone X, yet still allows the feature to be used directly if need be.

  1. Open the “Settings” app on iPhone X and then go to “Emergency SOS”
  2. Disable “Auto Call” by flicking the switch to the off position
  3. Disable Auto Call of Emergency Services on iPhone X

Now you can still summon the Emergency SOS screen (which is also the same screen which lets you shut down and turn off iPhone X and access Medical ID), without accidentally calling 911 due to the Auto Call feature by holding the buttons a little too long.

Again, you can still call emergency services through Emergency SOS if you disable Auto Dial, but you must swipe to the right on the Emergency SOS button when it appears on screen after holding down the side buttons on the iPhone X.

Emergency SOS screen on iPhone X

Don’t forget you can have Siri dial Emergency Services and 911 for you too, so if you have Hey Siri enabled for voice activation, you can do it entirely hands free, and perhaps more intentionally.

And in case you were wondering, yes people are accidentally dialing 911 due to this feature, and I myself have unintentionally activated it several times, thankfully canceling it within the few second countdown in time to avoid a mistaken call which ties up local emergency responders. The same feature also exists on the Apple Watch, where likewise people are accidentally dialing emergency services with that device too.

If you’re at all worried about this, or if you have discovered the siren alert blaring out of your pocket unexpectedly because it’s dialing 911, just disable Auto Call and you’ll prevent most erroneous dialing.

How to Fix iPhone Reboot/Respring Issue on iOS 11

written by applenws

It’s a tough week for Apple. Apple just pushed out the fix for macOS High Sierra’s root bug and now there’s a new bug in iOS 11 that’s randomly rebooting/respringing iPhones across the globe. This one has to do with the date and notification system. If you’re experiencing resprings every 30 seconds or when you get a notification, follow the steps below. Even if you’re not facing the issue yet, take the steps below to make sure you’re safe from the bug.

The Issue

The bug has to do with the date (#dategate?). When the date rolls over to December 2nd (in different time zones), it seems to trigger this reboot behavior. Some users on Reddit have linked it to apps that send a daily notification (like Headspace or Calm).

The Fixes

If your iPhone isn’t experiencing this issue right now, or if it’s just respringing, the first thing you should do is connect your iPhone to your computer and take a full iTunes backup.

Change The Date

Apple’s official fix, for the time being, is to rewind the clock. Set the date for a couple of days before December 2nd. This is not the perfect solution because apps and services that constantly check the time, will just stop working. Plus, you might lose your Health data and there might be issues with iMessage. Still, until Apple rolls out an update, this is the only official way to take care of this bug.

After changing the date, reboot your phone. It should now work fine. If it doesn’t, do a hard reset after changing the date. For steps on how to do a hard reset on your iPhone follow the links: iPhone 6/6s, iPhone 7, iPhone 8, iPhone X.

Delete Daily Reminder Apps

Some users have reported that deleting apps that send a daily reminder takes care of the issue. So if you have apps like Calm or Headspace installed, delete them for now. Or you day try turning off their notifications.

Disable Background App Refresh

Go to Settings -> General and disable Background App Refresh till Apple releases a fix.

Reset Settings

If nothing else works, you’ll need to reset settings (this will not wipe your user data). Go to Settings -> General -> Reset -> Reset All Settings.

What Worked For You?

Simply restarting or doing a hard reset without changing the date doesn’t seem to work. Are you facing this issue? Did changing the date fix it? Share with us in the comments below.

How to Disable Auto HDR on iPhone X and iPhone 8 Camera

written by applenws

The latest iPhone models from Apple default to automatically enabling HDR on the device camera, this includes iPhone X, iPhone 8 Plus, and iPhone 8. HDR can often create better looking pictures by blending color range from different exposures into a single image, but it can also sometimes make pictures look strange or even worse, particularly in some lighting situations and with some pictures of people as well.

By disabling auto HDR on iPhone, you also regain the “HDR” button in the iPhone camera app, which lets you choose HDR to be on, off, or automatically enabled depending on lighting, and directly from within the camera app itself. This contrasts to the default state on new iPhones, which hides the “HDR” button since the auto feature is enabled by default. In other words, if you want the HDR button controls returned to the iPhone Camera app, you have to disable Auto HDR in Settings.

How to Disable Auto HDR on iPhone and Get HDR Button Back in Camera App

This only applies to the latest iPhone models with auto HDR enabled by default, older iPhones will not have auto HDR enabled in Settings.

  1. On the iPhone, open the “Settings” app and go to “Camera”
  2. Look for the “HDR (High Dynamic Range)” section and toggle “Auto HDR” to the OFF position
  3. Disable Auto HDR in iPhone Camera Settings

  • Optional but helpful to some; enable “Keep Normal Photo” so that you can determine which of the two photo types you prefer*
  • Return the iPhone Camera and you will now see the “HDR” button option at the top of the camera screen again

    With Auto HDR disabled in the general Camera Settings, the “HDR” button option returns to the Camera app itself, where it can toggled directly.

    HDR options returned to Camera app in Iphone

    And yes, you can also set HDR to be on “auto” within Camera app again, even if Auto HDR is turned off in Settings. When you turn off “Auto HDR” in Settings, it brings the controls back into Camera app, just like they were on prior iPhone models. Additionally, you can also turn HDR off, or HDR on, directly from the camera app again on iPhone X, iPhone 8, and iPhone 8 Plus. This is admittedly confusing, but that’s the way it works in current versions of iOS for the newest iPhones. Basically, if you want more direct control, turn the feature off in Settings, so that you can then turn the feature on or off as you want in the Camera app itself.

    The Camera Settings section on iPhone has some other useful options you might want to check out, including enabling the camera grid, making sure iPhone camera can read QR codes, setting iPhone camera to take photos as JPEG or HEIF format, and many others.

    * The “Keep Original Photos” option is recommended if you want to see what both the HDR and non-HDR photo looks like when an HDR photo is captured. You’ll see them both alongside one another in the Photos app Camera Roll when available, it may look like the same photo from the thumbnail, but if you look closely at the two images you’ll see they are different as HDR pulls in a wider range of exposures and then uses software to join them into a single picture, whereas the standard photo does not do that. HDR is often loved or hated, and other times not even noticed, but for anyone who likes to geek around with an iPhone camera they will undoubtedly appreciate the choice and being able to see both pictures directly. The primary downside to enabling “Keep Original Photo” with HDR is that you end up with two of the (generally) same picture.

    If you enjoyed this you’d likely appreciate browsing through other Camera tips as well.

    How to Reset Face ID on iPhone X

    written by applenws

    If you discover that Face ID is not reliably unlocking iPhone X, you may want to try resetting Face ID and then setting it up again. Additionally, you can disable Face ID completely by resetting Face ID on a device and then not setting it up again. Resetting Face ID is pretty simple and it causes iPhone X to ditch the facial recognition data on the device, which you can then configure again if desired. Some users may find they need to do this if they dramatically change their personal appearance, but it can also be a helpful troubleshooting step if you’re trying to get Face ID to work better.

    Face ID is the primary device unlocking mechanism on iPhone X, and while you can unlock iPhone X without using Face ID and rely on a passcode instead, if you are using the Face ID feature you probably want it to work properly and as intended. Of course if you decide you don’t want to use Face ID after setting it up, you can clear the facial recognition data from the device by resetting Face ID too. Whatever the reason, whether for troubleshooting or for deciding against using the feature, here’s how you can reset the face data stored on the device.

    How to Reset Face ID on iPhone X

    Obviously you’ll need iPhone X or some other Face ID device for this setting to exist:

    1. Open the “Settings” app on iPhone X and go to “Face ID & Passcode”
    2. Scroll down to find the “Reset Face ID” button in red text, and tap on it to confirm you want to reset Face ID
    3. Reset Face ID on iPhone X

    That’s all you need to do to reset Face ID and the facial recognition data on iPhone X will be removed.

    If you’re resetting Face ID as a troubleshooting method, don’t forget to set it up again and to re-scan your face. Face ID can only be setup on a single face at a time, so unlike Touch ID which can hold multiple fingerprints (and where adding the same fingerprint multiple times can dramatically improve Touch ID reliability), Face ID currently can only scan a single face once. Perhaps that will change down the road and Face ID will allow for scanning multiple faces or scanning the same face a few different times with different appearances.

    Oh and by the way, if you choose to “Reset Face ID” and then you do not set it up again, then Face ID will be disabled completely until it is configured again. But if you only want to temporarily disable Face ID, you can do that too.

    Watch a Helpful iPhone X Tutorial Video

    written by applenws

    Whether you have already bought or plan to buy an iPhone X, you’ll undoubtedly noticed that using the iPhone is quite different from prior models, not only because it lacks a Home button and requires learning a series of new gestures to perform familiar tasks, but also because there are a handful of new features introduced on iPhone X that don’t yet exist on any other Apple device.

    Apple has apparently anticipated that the changes with iPhone X may require some adjustment and learning, and they have helpfully created a four and a half minute long tutorial video that walks through various tentpole features on iPhone X, including using Face ID, Animoji, Portrait Lighting mode on the new camera, and also learning and using the various new gestures required for the device.


    The complete video is embedded below for easy viewing. Whether you already have an iPhone X, have ordered one and are awaiting its arrival, or are simply thinking about getting one down the road, the video is worth watching as it goes over a variety of features and changes, and how these new capabilities and changes work on the new device.

    We’ve covered many iPhone X tips including taking screenshots on iPhone X, force restarting iPhone X, quitting apps on iPhone X, using Reachability on iPhone X, what happens if you use iPhone X without Face ID, amongst other iPhone X specific topics, and we’ll continue to do so moving forward.

    Even if you don’t have an immediate interest in iPhone X, it’s worth pointing out that iPhone X is likely an indicator of where other future iPhone and iPad devices are going, and the iPhone X seems to suggest that other upcoming devices will lose their Home button and instead rely on gesture movements and Face ID as well. With that in mind, these kind of tutorial videos from Apple can be helpful for getting a hint at where other devices are going.

    Perhaps capabilities like Face ID and some of the nicer relevant gestures will even arrive on the Mac down the road too, time will tell.

    Anyway enjoy the video, you’ll likely find it helpful if you’re a new iPhone X owner!

    How to Switch Between Apps Faster on iPhone X

    written by applenws

    The iPhone X swaps out the Home button for a software Home bar. It also does away with the 3D Touch shortcut for quickly switching between the most recent apps. But it replaces it with something much better.

    If you find that accessing the App Switcher is a bit too frustrating for you, or that you can’t always get it right, this new feature might be your savior.

    How to Switch Between Recent Apps Faster on iPhone X

    iPhone X Quick App Switcher Gesture

    Instead of swiping on the Home bar, swipe sideways on it – left or right. You’ll instantly jump to the all you were using previously. Thanks to Apple’s A11 processor, this animation is butter smooth and oh so fast. Even after switching to the previous app, there’s no waiting for it to load back up from memory. No, it’s all there. Ready to be used.

    And it gets better. You can keep swiping right to keep going back to the app you used before this one. And the one before that. And the one before that.

    Start swiping left and you’ll start going back through the apps you just came from. For a couple of minutes, iOS remembers the sequence of the app and doesn’t overwrite the recent apps list after you switch between 2 apps (this is similar to how the four-finger swipe gesture works on the iPad).

    This is a great feature for the real-life use case when you’re using two to three apps together and need to quickly switch between them. For me, it’s usually Safari, WhatsApp, and an email app. Just swiping sideways left or right to switch to Safari, seeing the information there and then switching back to WhatsApp happens so quickly it seems straight out of the future (like many things about the iPhone X).

    Pro Tip for Using App Switcher

    iPhone X 45 degree gesture

    Using the App Switcher is cumbersome. Especially Apple’s official suggestion that you need to swipe up a bit and then pause. Instead, try swiping up at a 45-degree angle, to the right. This will get you to the App Switcher quickly and reliably, every single time.

    What do you think of the new gestures on iPhone X? Share with us in the comments below.

    How to Access App Switcher Faster on iPhone X

    written by applenws

    It’s been two weeks since the iPhone X was released and I still can’t get used to the App Switcher gesture. It’s the swipe up and pause gesture that just doesn’t sit well with my brain. Sometimes I release my finger way too quickly and end up on the Home screen. If you’re also facing similar issues where you can’t get to the App Switcher reliably every single time, we have a pro tip for you.

    Must read: Top 25 iPhone X Tips and Tricks

    App Switcher Gesture That Works All The Time

    Instead of swiping up from the Home bar and waiting, try swiping at a 45-degree angle, from the left edge of the home bar, in a rightward direction.

    Basically, you’re making a 45-degree angle with your finger from the starting point of the Home bar.

    iPhone X 45 degree gesture

    This works every single time. And because you’re swiping to the right, you don’t waste time waiting for the App Switcher to animate with all the cards.

    This is a slight variation on MKBHD’s tip where he mentions to swipe up and then right. But for me, even that was unreliable. Swiping at 45 degree angle just works.

    Once you’re in the App Switcher, swipe between the cards and pick the app you want to switch to.

    A Way Faster Method For Switching Between Recent Apps

    Remember the 3D Touch recent apps gesture that first showed up in iPhone 6s Plus (and is back in iOS 11.2)? There’s a much better version of that built into iPhone X’s Home bar.

    iPhone X Quick App Switcher Gesture

    Swipe sideways on the Home bar and you’ll quickly switch to the most recent app you used. It’s fluid, and instant!

    When you first do the horizontal swipe, iOS remembers the 4-5 most recent apps and freezes them in a carousel. So you can keep switching between them by swiping left and right using the Home bar.

    This is a game changer, especially in day to day life. You’re usually using 2-3 apps at the same time. Looking something up in Safari, messaging in iMessage, or reading something in a third app. Using this left/right swipe on the Home bar is a huge time saver. And once you embrace this gesture, you’ll find yourself using the App Switcher less often.

    What Do You Think of the New Gestures?

    The more I use the gestures on iPhone X, the more I think they’ll change and evolve in iOS 12. These gestures feel very much like a version 1.0. Meant for first-time use. I hope to see a better implementation of Control Center and App Switcher in iOS 12.

    What do you think of the new gestures? Did this new trick for using App Switcher work for you? Share with us in the comments below.

    How to Force Restart iPhone X

    written by applenws

    If you need to force restart an iPhone X you will need to learn a new method, because Apple has changed how you force reboot iPhone X compared to prior iPhone models. This is partially because the iPhone X no longer has a Home button, so the longstanding method of forced rebooting is no longer possible with iPhone X.

    Now with iPhone X, you will force restart the device by using a series of button presses instead. This tutorial will detail exactly how you can initiate a forced restart, sometimes called a hard reboot, of iPhone X.


    The sequence is a little strange at first mostly because it’s different, breaking the habit you may have developed with force rebooting earlier iOS devices, but once you get the hang of it you will be able to force restart iPhone X almost as quickly as you could earlier devices. You’ll also need to be sure you press the buttons in the proper order as described, otherwise the iPhone X will not force restart.

    How to Force Reboot iPhone X

    You must press the buttons in sequential order for iPhone X to force restart, the first two buttons are pressed and then released, and the final button is held until the force reboot occurs. Here’s how it works:

    1. Press Volume Up, then release
    2. Press Volume Down, then release
    3. Press and hold the Power / Lock button on the right side of iPhone X
    4. Continue to hold the Power / Lock / Side button until the  Apple logo appears on screen of iPhone X

    How to force restart iPhone X in three steps

    It may feel like it takes a while to see the  Apple logo appear on screen, but once you do see it you will know you have successfully forced the iPhone X to restart.

    Remember, you must follow the proper order of pressing the buttons to force reboot iPhone X, if it fails then just start over and try again.

    If you try and press the buttons concurrently you’ll likely either take a screenshot on iPhone X or initiate the Emergency Calling feature, neither of which you are likely trying to do if you simply want to force the iPhone to restart. The proper way is: Up, Down, hold Power.

    This is yet another evolving change in the iOS world, but it turns out that force restarting iPhone X with the new button sequence is actually also how you force reboot an iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus, though it is different from force restarting iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, which is also different from forcibly rebooting iPhone 6s, 6, 5, 4, and iPad models with clickable Home buttons. With the steps changing on several occasions, perhaps we’ll see another change with forced restarts on iOS devices down the road, time will tell.

    Force restarting iPhone X

    Oh and by the way, you can also preform a regular reboot of iPhone X by simply turning it off and back on again. You can do that with the Power/Volume button press, or with the method that works on all modern iOS versions by turning off the iPhone or iPad via Settings, without using the Power button and then simply turning it back on again.
