iPhone Calculator tricks
That’s not the only Calculator trick, of course.
You can use Siri to open the Calculator with your voice.
Another trick is to unlock your screen orientation and rotate the app sideways.
This will unlock a scientific calculator for more complex mathematics – including options for cosine, tangent and square root functions.
You can copy and paste numbers to and from the app.
This includes pinching the display with three fingers to copy, and spreading three fingers to paste.
It’s possible to enter calculations directly into your iPhone’s Search bar, skipping the Calculator entirely.
And Siri can also perform calculations for you if you ask using your voice.
