Apple’s iOS 19 is packed with flashy features like revamped Control Center and Siri upgrades — but there’s a lot Apple didn’t spotlight. Behind the scenes, iOS 19 includes hidden tools, tweaks, and tricks that can seriously boost how you use your iPhone.

From app locks to smarter widgets, here are 10 underrated iOS 19 features that will make you fall in love with your iPhone all over again.

Go to Settings > Privacy & Security > App Lock → Toggle ON and select the apps you want to secure.

2. Live Voice Isolation for All Apps

Previously exclusive to FaceTime, Voice Isolation now works across WhatsApp, Zoom, Instagram, and more — filtering out background noise for crystal-clear calls.

iOS 19 lets you use widgets, not just view them. Play/pause music, complete reminders, toggle flashlight — all from the lock screen.

How to try:

Long-press the Lock Screen → Tap Customize → Add interactive widgets like Music, Reminders, Weather, etc.

4. Custom App Icons Without Using Shortcuts

Finally, you can customize app icons natively—without annoying delays or Shortcuts app detours.

5.Battery Health Alerts for Accessories

iOS 19 warns you if your AirPods or Apple Watch battery is degrading, just like it does for iPhone.

6. Smarter StandBy Mode

Place your iPhone horizontally on charge and it now shows live widgets, auto-dimming clock faces, weather updates, and even calendar events.
