A text message arrives on your phone. It says you have an unpaid toll. Or a package cannot be delivered. Or your bank has detected suspicious activity. There is usually a link.

An iPhone can do far more than make calls and send messages, but many useful settings are easy to miss.

A good place to start is with one small task you already do in everyday life.
