In the past weeks, Apple went through a difficult time and difficult challenges, since the launch of iOS 11 there were some problems in this new system, which many complained about, and then Apple launched successive updates to treat these problems until the system stabilized somewhat. However, we are still waiting for iOS 11.1 which bodes well depending on the experience of many developers.

And given the unique system and powerful hardware that Apple offers in its devices, perhaps because of that many people overlook some of these problems because they believe and trust their favorite company that it is working hard to solve these problems quickly. It is also one of the few companies capable of creativity, and an example of this creativity is a strange feature in the iPhone X that did not publish anything about it in any of its sites, but it was discovered by users themselves. This feature won the approval of many.

We do not know why Apple hides many secrets contained in its systems, whether on its sites or even in its conferences ?! Probably because it operates on the “discover for yourself” principle.


PhoneArena has discovered a very smart trick in the iPhone X that enables you to protect your privacy just by looking at the lock screen through the feature Face ID.

In the past, when a notification comes to you, it appears on the lock screen, and some details of the notification are also shown, and anyone can see this notification and understand its content through these details.

But this matter has been canceled in iPhone X, and if a notification comes to you and you are the owner of the device and you look at the lock screen, then you will see the notification details, and if you are not the owner of the device and you look at the lock screen, the Face ID system will realize that you are not the owner of the device and the notification details will disappear and you will not see Nothing.

To be fair, there is no way to use a fingerprint that achieves this level of security through a look.


This clever trick is not limited to the iPhone X only

This feature is not limited to the iPhone X only, but is present in the iOS 11 system, there are settings for this feature, but many people are unaware of it. In order to be able to use this feature on your iPhone, go to Settings - Notifications - Show Previews - and then choose "If the lock is unlocked". And when a notification comes to you, an alert will come to you that the notification will arrive on the lock screen, but you will not see the notification details until you unlock the phone by fingerprint.

Admittedly, this method is not like the iPhone X method, which controls it through a look, but it will remain a useful trick for those who want to preserve their privacy.

We know that there are questions about Face ID, will it be as practical and efficient as a fingerprint? Would it be convenient for everyday tasks like unlocking the phone quickly while on the move and also while using Apple pay? Let us know what you think in the comments
