Six Clicks: Cool iPhone, iPad treasures buried in iOS 7.1

You can access a lot of cool features – from the camera to the flashlight – direct from the lock screen.

Just swipe up to access that panel goodness.

Deleted an important email by accident? There's no need to go digging around for it like a starving raccoon in the trash; you can just shake to undo!

For this to work you much be using the default Mail app. The shake to undo feature also works in other apps — give it a try.

Did you know that you can use the built-in Compass app as a spirit level? Just fire up the Compass and swipe the panel to the left to reveal this feature. In my experience this makes for a pretty accurate level.

Ever scrolled down to the bottom on a really long page, and then hate the prospect of having to scroll all the way back up? Simple, don't scroll, just double-tap!

Just double-tap on the top of the screen to take you instantly to the top. This is a huge time-saver.

Typing in .com, .org and so on is so last millennium. Just press and hold the period to get a pop-up list of options.

Note that the options available in this list are dependent on your location.

That 3.5-inch screen the iPhone has isn't the biggest around, and I don't know about you, sometimes the text feels a tad too small, especially towards the end of the day.

Here's a quick way to get bigger text in apps that support it. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Larger Text and switch the feature on, and then choose the text size you prefer using the slider.
