iPhones are one of the most used devices, one of the reasons for this is the fact that with each new phone model update, Apple provides new features.

These features make the gadget not only aesthetically attractive, but also not inferior to competitors in terms of technical characteristics.

However, sometimes new design solutions may not be particularly accepted by users due to the inconvenience caused.

Screen extensions in iPhone 10 and 11, on the one hand, were a breakthrough in phone screen design, on the other hand, the lack of a button and the appearance of the bottom bar became a problem.

Even though the grey bar should have become a useful feature replacing the physical grey home bar button, the grey bar at the bottom of the iPhone became annoying, especially when you are enthusiastically watching some video and the grey bar appears on the screen.

In this article, you will find the answer to the question of how to remove grey bar at the bottom of your iPhone Home Screen and also how to get rid of the grey box, making your use of the iPhone completely comfortable.

What is the bar at the bottom of my iPhone screen?

The permanent thin bar at the bottom of your iPhone is called the iPhone dock. This “iPhone dock” completely replaces the functions of the button that was on previous iPhone models, for example, the iPhone 8.

That is, the grey home bar is a function with which you can exit the application to the Home Screen or exit the Home Screen and applications to the tabs.

Apple Pencil is a relatively recent innovation, a new device, which gives Apple users many opportunities: you can easily draw with it, there are a lot of brushes and colors, or you can make a note with it and generally use it for writing, or use the Apple Pencil any other way.

It is just like a pen and a pencil, but with more features. The device is very useful. But officially it works only with an iPad and iPad models, not with a phone.

So, the question is: Does it compatible with an iPhone 13, or only with an iPad? If it doesn’t, is there a way to connect it with iPhones anyway?

If these are your questions about Apple Pencil, this article was written for you.

General information about Apple Pencil

What is the Apple Pencil? 

Apple Pencil is a well-done tool for drawing or writing with a lot of new features, which are traditionally used with an iPad.It was made and shown in 2015, just like the first model of iPad Pro.

Such a stylus, like other styluses alongside Samsung’s S-Pen with Samsung Note, which you can surely use with a phone and tablets, is good for artists, so drawing is the most common purpose for using the Apple Pencil.

How many models of Apple Pencil we can use now?

Currently, there is only a pair of models available for iPad users: first-generation Apple Pencil and second-generation Apple Pencil. Both are perfectly compatible with iPad Pro and other iPads. Read the following description to get to know what is the difference between them if you want purchasing one of them and then plug them.

First generation of Apple pencil

The first generation Apple Pencil is compatible with the iPad Pro models from the 5th to the 9th generation, and it also works with iPad Air models from the 1st to the 3rd generation. So, Apple Pencil works perfectly with a lot of other Apple devices, connecting to them by Bluetooth.

It costs about $99, which you can find on the official Apple site or search on another internet form.

Second generation of Apple pencil

With what does Apple Pencil work? The second generation Apple Pencil is the latest Apple Pencil and this Apple Pencil works with iPad Pro, iPad Air (4th generation), and iPad Mini (6th generation).

This model costs more than the first one, about $129, which you can find on the official Apple site.

So, generally, it is an accessory only for iPads, like iPad Pro, iPad Mini and iPad Air, both two models of Apple Pencil support different iPad models. The model of the Apple Pencil depends on the model of the iPad, if the question is what to choose. Surely, Apple Pencils may be a good stylus for making notes or even writing and drawing.

Does Apple Pencil work with iPhone?

Yes or No: is Apple Pencil compatible with iPhone?

So, does Apple Pencil work with iPhone? Unfortunately, currently, the answer is still no. This stylus doesn’t work with any iPhone, and wasn’t even meant to be useful to iPhone users. Neither iPhone 13 nor any new iPhone. Paradoxically, these two devices of Apple just are not for one another, and you can’t plug them.

I guess, it is a good question if Apple is keen to maintain Apple Pencil as a stylus to iPhone models with new iOS update and if there will be any ability to use iPhone with such a device.

Why can’t Apple Pencil support the iPhone? 

Actually, Apple Pencil doesn’t work with any iPhone model. The problem is hardware compatibility issues. Apple has very different display technologies both with iPad and iPhone, so technically there is no way for Apple Pencil to work with iPhone, only iPad.

Are you wondering If there is another device I can use otherwise?

There may be several answers and a pair of examples. In addition to Apple Pencil or pens from other manufacturers, consider a computer mouse: How to Use Mouse on iPhone 11 to Control Onscreen Pointer.

Samsung S-Pen

Yes, there are some devices you can purchase and try using with an iPhone instead of an Apple Pencil, and which your phone may support, you can search them. For example, you may choose Samsung S-Pen, which proved its effectiveness and value.

Adonit Pro 4

It is also a good tool, which can connect to your phone. You can also search about its quality, but you will barely find any negative comment.

But the number of tools that you can use, just like an Apple Pencil, is limited. And there is another way out anyway.

How do I connect Apple Pencil to iPhone?

On the other hand, there is still a possibility to connect your iPhone device with Apple Pencil, but the following method is not granted, unfortunately. It is not that easy to fix the hardware compatibility issues at home with no technical skills, but it is still possible.

But it is only for you to decide if it is really worth trying.

Some of the users even tried and succeeded, and maybe, you can succeed, too.

Connecting Apple Pencil to iPhone: instruction

You should follow the instruction below carefully; otherwise, you are risking damaging both devices and a screen, and watch what will be then as a result.

Step 1

Firstly, you need to get a clean and dry paper towel and put Apple Pencil and iPhone in one certain place, preparing them.

Step 2

Then fold once and rip it by the lines.

Step 3

You should fold it again twice.

Step 4

Now you can wrap your Apple Pencil with a paper towel. And you shouldn’t forget: It should be tight.

But you should do it carefully and leave the tip of the Apple Pencil uncovered with a paper.

Step 5

The Apple Pencil with a paper towel around it should be damped, but not too much.

Step 6

Then try to use the Apple Pencil with your iPhone’s screen carefully, don’t push too much, with less pressure. Try to draw or write if your devices support Apple Pencil.

It may work and during the process the risk of damaging devices is low, so maybe, it is worth trying. If something didn’t go according to plan and the connection didn’t work, follow How to Hard Reset iPhone 11 for Diagnosing Some Issues.

In conclusion: Apple Pencil is not for iPhones, but there is a trick to make it work

Apple Pencil is an innovative stylus with many new functions. But technically, iPhones don’t have the needed hardware to be compatible with Apple Pencil, it is strongly for iPads. And there are two ways then: buy a needed device, find third-party styluses, or try the method above.

What is more comfortable for you is only for you to decide.

Notifications and alerts are important parts for users of iPhone, or a user of other Apple devices, if they want to receive alerts about incoming text message or events timely.

And iPhone 11 gives people a lot of opportunities to get notified about it, whether a phone is in the hands of a person, in the pocket or another room. A person still recognizes a LED flash for alerts by using camera light and vibration.

But sometimes flash notification (LED flash alerts) on a device is annoying, and happens not at the right time and place. And there is salvation from such situations – you can easily turn it off. So, do you wonder how to turn off flash notification on iPhone 11? This article is for you.

Why do we need notifications? 

iPhone flash notification helps with using a camera flash, you to stay tuned to all events happening or messages of any app if you want it to. So without them, you will get a text message, not in time it arrived, so you will not get an opportunity to answer timely. It is an important feature of the alerts option in almost every iPhone model.

And there is possibly the same function in Android devices. But it is not a topic of such tech tutorials anyway.

Is it more profitable to get flash notification than otherwise? 

Well, yes, in some situations it may save you a lot of money. For example, you are at risk to forget about a message which is urgent and extremely important.

Or your iPhone may be at risk because you don’t get a security alert timely from the settings app or even some other apps?

So, it is safer and more comfortable to receive notifications and notice them thanks to vibration and LED flash for alerts on an iPhone device.

Is LED alert on an iPhone by default?

Most of the notification features are built and set in an iPhone by default. Unfortunately, the LED flash for alerts is beyond it in an iPhone. Usually, iPhone users set flash alerts. The feature isn’t set against their will. And this is regarding any new iPhone models since the fourth model.

But if you don’t want it anymore, there is a way to fix it on an iPhone.

Is the LED alert on iPhone bright?

Unfortunately, the flash is vivid. You and other people in one room, in the street, or another public space will certainly see and notice that you’ve got a message or other alarm.

If you are afraid of other people knowing about your social life by notifications, the bright flash will make you even more uncomfortable. And an iPhone lock screen doesn’t change anything. Even if it is just a home screen. The iPhone flash will still appear.

If the silent mode on an iPhone is on, and you think that the flash notifications are automatically off, unfortunately, you’re wrong. A flash notification works even in such situation. A flash on silent works still perfectly vivid.

What about notifications?

Modern iPhones have no Home button. To see notifications, swipe from the left side of the sensor notch. The Control Center or Control Panel has moved to the top of the screen. Ok, swipe from the right side of the sensor notch.

To wake up Siri, you need to press and hold the side button for a couple of seconds or just say “Hey, Siri”! To use Apple Pay, tap the side button twice. The authentication of Apple Pay needs your Face ID or a passcode. It is simpler to use Apple Pay, if you have a Face ID.

How do you turn on swipe up on iPhone?

Turn on Control Center Access in Lock Screen

If you have locked your iPhone and you want to access the Control Center, read below:

• Open Control Center in Settings.
• Tap Control Center and turn on the toggle next to ‘Access on Lock Screen’.
• And you are welcome.

Enable access

If you are trying to swipe up when you use an app to access the Control Center, you should turn on the special setting. Open the Settings App on your iPhone’s screen. Then turn to the Control Center settings and make your Access Within Apps to the ON position. After that, check the Control Center.

VoiceOver must be disabled

VoiceOver is a function of the iPhone 13, that is responsible for changing the way apps work.

So if it is not necessary, and you don’t need this function on your iPhone, turn it off. And The Control Center will work normally. Here are some steps :

• Click the Settings App.
• Then open the General settings and click on the Accessibility option.
• Turn off the VoiceOver option in Accessibility settings.
• The last step is to close the settings app and try to access the Control Center.

Clean off the dirt

After months of use, your iPhone 13 becomes dirty. When you take your iPhone with you everywhere you go, there will always be the dirt on it. So you need to know how to clean your iPhone properly, avoiding mistakes. It is dangerous for your health to keep it filthy.

Actually, to avoid the damage, be careful when cleaning your iPhone. You should have a soft cloth to wipe off iPhone’s screen until it is clean.

I recommend you to keep your iPhone clean as often as possible to prevent mud or dirt, repel finger grease and oil from interfering with the swipe up screen gestures. Do not use abrasive cleaners, glass cleaners, alcohol towels that can cut through grease because they will damage the coating on your screen.

Take off the screen protector

There also can be a problem with the screen protector, because of its incompatibility. iPhone covers can interfere with proper operation of the swipe up gesture. The best way is to remove these covers from your iPhone and try to swipe up the screen to open the Control Center.

If it helps, the problem disappears immediately. Next time, you must make a smarter decision of buying a compatible screen cover or screen protector so that you can use your iPhone flawlessly.

If letter keys turn blank

Don’t give up, if all the letter keys (special characters) turn blank. It is all about the new 3D Touch feature.

Try to put it on the “firm” setting. Please don’t push too hard on screen keyboard because iOS thinks you have touched the keyboard with two fingers.

Support tap to wake

All iPhones with a physical Home Button do not have a tap to wake feature. This is because this function drains a lot of battery.

How do I enable tap to wake on my iPhone 13? Open the Settings app, then scroll down and tap Accessibility. Tap on Touch under the Physical and Motor section. Toggle Tap to Wake to the On position.
