The different ways to make your iPhone work for you are easy to access in the settings app, but some are largely unknown.

This unknown feature could help every user

Sometimes scrolling on an iPhone is a difficult task.

For those with mobility issues, or if you find yourself stuck in a situation where your hands are unavailable, trying to get your iPhone to complete a simple task is grueling.

Well, it turns out that Apple has a clever accessibility setting that allows you to carry out tasks on your phone with your head.

Aptly called ‘Head Tracking’, this little-known feature can help you to tell your phone what to do by using elements such as facial expressions.

You can open your mouth, raise your eyebrows, smile, and even stick out your tongue, so yes, you can almost ‘lick your iPhone’.

It’s all thanks to an onscreen pointer that is able to follow the movement of your head, and works when you cast your gaze on an item in a steady position, enabling you to carry out an action instead of tapping.

There is a catch, though. You must have iOS 26 or later.

How to set up the accessibility feature on your iPhone

We weren’t kidding when we said it was straightforward to set up; in fact, you only need to follow a few simple steps.

All you need to do is go to your settings app, click on the Accessibility tab, click on Head Tracking, and then turn it on.

You will then be presented with lots of different options, and when you point your steady head at a location on the screen, a dwell timer begins.

When the timer is finished, the action is carried out, and you can find more on how to use it on the Apple site.

So, there you go, this could be a game-changer for people who find an iPhone hard to use.
