The other day we heard about a hidden feature that had been found in Apple’s iOS 5, a panorama mode for the iPhone’s camera, and now it would appear that the feature can be activated without jailbreaking your device.
Earlier today we heard about another hidden feature in iOS, a new autocorrect keyboard bar, and it turns out that this feature can also be activated in iOS 5 without having to jailbreak your device.
Activating Panorama Mode
The panorama mode in iOS 5 allows users to capture wide-angle photos by stitching together multiple images into a single panoramic shot. This feature is particularly useful for capturing landscapes, cityscapes, and large group photos. To activate this hidden feature, users need to access the iOS system files using a tool like iBackupBot. By modifying a specific property list file, users can enable the panorama mode in the camera app without the need for jailbreaking.
Once activated, the panorama mode can be accessed directly from the camera app. Users simply need to select the panorama option and follow the on-screen instructions to capture a panoramic photo. The camera will guide users to move their device steadily from left to right (or vice versa) to capture the entire scene. The resulting image is a seamless blend of multiple photos, providing a wide-angle view that is not possible with a single shot.
Enabling the Autocorrect Keyboard Bar
The hidden autocorrect keyboard bar in iOS 5 is another useful feature that can be activated without jailbreaking. This feature provides a bar above the keyboard that displays autocorrect suggestions as users type. This can significantly improve typing speed and accuracy by allowing users to quickly select the correct word from the suggestions.
To enable the autocorrect keyboard bar, users need to follow a similar process as with the panorama mode. By accessing the iOS system files and modifying a specific property list file, users can activate this feature. Once enabled, the autocorrect keyboard bar will appear above the keyboard in any app that uses the standard iOS keyboard.
The autocorrect keyboard bar is particularly useful for users who frequently type long messages or emails on their iPhone. It can help reduce the number of typos and improve overall typing efficiency. Additionally, the bar can be customized to display different types of suggestions, such as emoji or frequently used phrases, making it a versatile tool for enhancing the typing experience.
