Easter eggs are hidden features or messages that are intentionally put in software, including mobile operating systems like iOS.

Apple has a long history of including Easter eggs in its software, and iOS is no exception. In this article, we will discuss six awesome iOS Easter eggs that you may have missed.

6 Awesome iOS Easter Eggs You May Have Missed

  • Ask Siri to Flip a Coin

If you need to make a decision, but don’t have a coin on hand, you can ask Siri to flip a coin for you. Simply activate Siri and say “Flip a coin”. Siri will then randomly choose heads or tails and announce the result.

  • Shake to Undo

If you accidentally delete text or make a mistake while typing, you can undo your actions by shaking your iPhone or iPad. This will bring up a pop-up that allows you to undo your last action.

This Easter egg is especially handy if you’re typing with one hand or in a bumpy environment where it’s difficult to use the touch screen.

  • Secret Apple Watch-like Water Eject Feature

If you have an iPhone 7 or later, you can use a hidden feature to eject water from the speakers. This feature is similar to the water eject feature on the Apple Watch.

To use this feature, simply swipe up from the bottom of the screen to access the Control Center. Then tap on the Water Lock icon. After a few seconds, tap again to turn off the Water Lock. This will trigger the water eject feature and remove any water from the speakers.

  • Star Wars Siri Responses

If you’re a Star Wars fan, you’ll love this Easter egg. Ask Siri “May the force be with you” and you’ll get one of several Star Wars-themed responses. For example, Siri might say “And with you, young Padawan” or “The force is strong with this one.”

If you need to type a special character, such as an umlaut or accent mark, you don’t need to switch to a different keyboard or use copy and paste. Instead, simply long-press the letter you need to modify, and a list of alternate characters will appear.

For example, if you long-press the letter “e”, you’ll see a list of accented versions of the letter, such as “é”, “è”, and “ê”. This Easter egg can save you time and make typing more efficient.

  • Secret Flight Tracker

If you’re interested in tracking flights, you can use a hidden feature in iOS to get flight information. Simply ask Siri for the flight status of a specific flight, and Siri will display the flight information, including the flight number, airline, departure time, and arrival time.

This Easter egg is particularly useful if you’re picking someone up at the airport or if you’re a frequent traveler who wants to keep track of flight information.
