A woman has left iPhone users completely stunned after sharing a “jaw dropping” hack that she’s only just discovered.

Apple are always coming out with new and updated features that make our user experience a bit smoother.

Whether it was battery saving features or something as simple as being able to dim the flashlight, the added functions are always welcome additions.

With the release of iOS 18 next month, there will be even more changes to the iPhone that will improve how we use it.

Apple Intelligence is set to make a huge change to our devices with the operating system update, as well as call recording and home screen customization, where users can move widgets around freely.

However, there are some little-known features that we already have access to, but have no idea that they’re even there.

One woman took to TikTok after discovering one iPhone function that has been hiding in plain sight for years.

Uploading the video to her page, @karagargiulo, the woman known as Kara shared her experience hiding out about this feature.

In the clip, which has now been seen 3.6 million times, she said: “Dude, did you guys freaking know that the line at the bottom of your phone is a scroll bar?

“So, you don’t need to swipe up and scroll through your tabs, you can just slide it at the bottom.

“12.30 in the morning, can’t sleep and I’m just, like, learning new s*** but like, for real, how did I not know that?”

Kara didn’t seem to be the only one who was finding this information out for the first time, as many viewers were left stunned by the revelation.

Taking to the TikTok comment section to share their thoughts, one user wrote: “My jaw is on the floor.”

Another said: “Jaw dropped, just tried it rn.” To which Kara replied: “Ya’ll saw my jaw hit the floor.”

However, not everyone was shocked, with one person writing: “Y’all didn’t know???” This prompted Kara to respond with: “GIRL NO MY JAW HITTING THE FLOOR WAS TOO REAL.”

If you’re not familiar, it’s pretty easy to use the scroll bar, which will allow you to switch between apps in place of the home button.

If you swipe left, or right, directly on the line, you can move between apps, whereas normally, we would swipe upwards to see what apps are open and go from there.

It's honestly a bit of a life saver if you have a lot of apps open.
