iOS 13 brings a lot of new features to your iPhone.
Jason Cipriani/CNETYou already know about the iPhone 11's swanky new Deep Fusion camera and dedicated dark mode, but some of the iPhone and iPad's best features are the ones you haven't yet encountered. Ever since Apple released iOS 13 and iPadOS 13 in September, we've combed through our iPhones and iPads looking for new hidden gems. Right now, that includes the current version of iOS 13.3 and iPadOS 13.3.
We've found a handful of features Apple didn't announce that are just as good as headlining features like the gesture keyboard and improvements made to Safari, if not better. The new volume indicator alone is -- chef's kiss -- a feature iOS has needed for years. And iMessage search, well, it's downright amazing. Don't sleep on the new photo-sharing options and Audio Sharing with your AirPods.
Below are 13 of the best, hidden features we found in iOS 13. If you haven't installed iOS 13 yet, make sure you get your phone ready for the update before taking the plunge. Should something go wrong while it installs, you'll be glad you took the time. Oh, and if you're still on the fence about getting an iPhone 11, be sure to read our iPhone 11 review.

iOS 13 will help prolong your iPhone's battery life.

Routinely charging your iPhone's ($900 at Amazon) battery to full, and keeping it there for extended amounts of time, can damage your battery over time. A new option in iOS 13 is intended to help prolong your battery's life by learning your charging habits and preventing the battery from immediately charging to 100%.
If you normally charge overnight while you sleep, Optimized Battery Charging will keep your iPhone's battery at 80% for most of the night, finishing off the last 20% of charge right before your alarm goes off.
To use the new features, go to Settings > Battery > Battery Health and turn it on.
The new scroll bar is a small, but useful, improvement.

When you're scrolling a webpage in Safari, a new Scroll Bar shows up on the right side of the screen. Only instead of just being a handy way to see where you're at on a page, you can now use it to scroll faster. Try it out by starting to scroll on a page, then long-press on the scroll bar and drag it up or down. The faster you drag, the faster Safari will scroll.
Scan documents with ease in the Files app.

The revamped Files app now lets you scan documents and save them directly to your device or cloud storage with little effort. Open the Files app, select the Browse tab, tap on the three-dot icon in the top-right corner, then Scan Documents. Hold your device over the document you want to scan, and it should automatically capture the page. You can scan multiple pages into one PDF file and then save to iCloud, or import it into another app once you're done.
iMessage search actually works now
Searching for past messages in the iMessage app has always been horrible. It simply hasn't worked. That's changed. You can now search for a single word or phrase, and results are almost instantly displayed.
It's pretty cool. To try it, open the Messages app, swipe down to reveal the search field and type. Neat, right?
You can now use your voice to search Apple's own apps.

Anywhere you find a search bar in Apple's own apps, you'll notice there's now a microphone on the far-right side. Tap on the new icon to enter your search query by voice, instead of having to type it out.
Apps like Settings, Mail, Messages and the Today View are just a few examples of where you can find the new voice search option.
Apple continues its privacy push with new features in iOS 13.

You can now strip location information from a photo when you share it directly from the Photos app. The new option means you can leave the photo geotagged and you can view where it was captured, but when you share it across social media, email or messages, you can strip that information and keep any location information private.
Select a photo (or photos) you want to share in the Photos app then tap on Options at the top of the screen and turn off Location under the section labeled Include.
The new volume indicator is close to hidden... and that's a good thing.
Jason Cipriani/CNETNew volume indicator
Another long-overdue feature iOS users have been begging Apple to change is the volume indicator. You know, the pop-up that takes over the screen whenever you adjust the volume when watching YouTube or Netflix?
The indicator in iOS 13 is much smaller and slides in from the side of your screen. As you adjust the volume, it shrinks down to just a small line, all but hiding as you find the right volume level. Thanks, Apple.
The "hidden" part here is that when that white bar shows up on your screen, you can use your finger to drag the volume up and down instead of having to use the physical volume buttons on the side of your iPhone or iPad.
iMessage and FaceTime gain Dual SIM support
Business users and international travelers will appreciate the addition of iMessage and FaceTime support for the second number when two SIM cards are being used.
Apple added Dual SIM support with the launch of the iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max ($1,000 at Amazon) and iPhone XR ($600 at Amazon). The feature comes in handy for those who don't want to carry separate personal and work phones, or for those who often travel internationally and need a data plan that's less expensive than roaming fees.
Prior to iOS 13, users could only use one phone number for iMessage and FaceTime.
How often do you delete apps from your iOS device?

Managing old apps you have installed on your iPhone or iPad ($330 at Walmart) is never a priority, or at least it isn't for me. I know I've watched in the App Store as an app is updated, knowing full well I'll never launch that app again. But because the app isn't easy to find on my home screen, I don't bother finding it and uninstalling it.
After installing iOS 13 or iPadOS, the next time you see an app you no longer need in the Updates list, swipe to the left across the listing and then tap Delete.
It seemed like it would never happen, but with iOS 13 you can use a mouse to control your iPad or iPhone.

It's true, you can use a mouse or trackpad to navigate your phone or tablet. The experience of using a mouse with your iPad takes some getting used to -- there isn't a typical mouse pointer. Instead, there's a cursor that more or less mimics your finger.
You can assign shortcuts for specific tasks, such as going back to the home screen, in the new settings menu. Connect a mouse to your iPhone or iPad then go to Settings > Accessibility > Touch > Assistive Touch (turn this on) > Pointing Devices to customize how it works.
Finally, you can decide if you want to run through your wireless data plan when downloading apps from the App Store.

Apple has finally given us the option to remove App Store download limits. Meaning you can, if you want, download a game that's over a gigabyte in size on your cellular data plan.
Go to Settings > iTunes & App Store > App Downloads to get rid of the limit or have the App Store ask you if you want to download any apps over 200MB.
You no longer have to worry about how to manage a file you download using Safari on iOS 13.

You can now download files when using Safari on an iPhone and iPad. The Download manager icon won't show up unless you have an active (or recently active) download. Your download is automatically saved to a Downloads folder in your iCloud Drive account, which you can access in the Files app.
Take full-length screenshots on iOS 13.
Screenshots by Jason Cipriani/CNETLong screenshots of websites
If you've ever had to take multiple screenshots of a webpage in order to capture the text of an article, you'll be happy to know that iOS 13's screenshot tool has a new trick. Open Safari and take one screenshot of any website and immediately tap on the thumbnail preview. Above the screenshot will be two options: Screen and Full Page.
The feature works in Safari, Pages, Numbers, Keynote, Mail, or Apple Maps.
Selecting Full Page will turn the entirety of the webpage you're viewing into a PDF file that you can then crop, annotate and save to the Files app.
