Tips

Camera tricks. In iOS 14 Apple changed the camera app where you were able to press and hold the shutter button to take burst shots. Launch the camera app, swipe (do not press) the shutter button to the left and hold and it will take burst shots as many as you want. You can also start a video from the shutter button. Launch the camera app position the iPhone in landscape mode a must for videos and swipe (do not press) the shutter button up or down (or right in portrait position) depending on its position and it records video. Swipe the shutter back and it stops.

Find the Code Reader App. You can search on home screen for it or you can add it to the control center.
