10 Best Calculator Tips And Tricks For Iphone

Today, I am going to show you some of the easiest iPhone calculator tips and tricks which you are not aware of! Of course, there’s nothing hidden, it’s just that you didn’t try some swipes and moves in your calculator app. So let’s see them!

1. Swipe to delete Numbers

Right when you enter a big number, it’s often observed that you mismatch the digits. To delete a particular digit, you tap on it and use the backspace. But it’s a lot easier with a swipe on the right or left. Simply swipe from the right or left (whichever digit you want to delete) of the number and the digits get deleted. That’s how simple it is to delete the digits just with a swipe.

2. Copy the Last Result from Control Centre

Instead of opening the calculator app to check the result of your last calculation, you can access it quickly from the Control Center. But before you do, ensure the Calculator is added to the Control Center. Go to Settings → Control Center → tap the plus icon (+) next to Calculator. To rearrange its position, hold the hamburger menu and move it accordingly. Once you do that, follow the steps below. If you see a (-) icon next to the Calculator, it is already added to the Control Center, and you can proceed with the next step. Doing so will copy the last result from the calculator to your clipboard.
