The list of elusive features on the iPhone 5 contains functionalities that most users are unaware of, rather than secret features requiring a special code to unlock.
1. Close 3 Apps Simultaneously
Not just closing one app with a swipe up in multitasking view, users can shut down 3 apps at once by pinching with three fingers, employing a similar gesture.
2. Quick Access to LED Flashlight
Starting from iOS 7, Apple introduced the Control Center, equipped with various convenient shortcuts. Among them, the quick access to the flashlight via the LED flash cannot be overlooked.
3. Measure Object Tilt Angle
The Compass app is one of the least utilized applications by users. However, in certain situations, it can be a valuable tool. With the gyroscope, your iPhone device can measure the precise position (horizontal and vertical tilt) of an object through two minimalist-designed spheres.
To activate this feature, swipe from right to left after accessing the compass app.
4. Adjust Text Formatting While Composing Text
In some Mail applications, you can adjust text boldness, italics, and underline. To activate this hidden feature, highlight the text line and select “Bold/Italics/Underline”. A fundamental and useful feature that surely goes unnoticed by many, right?
5. Swipe Left to Return
To complement the elongated design of the iPhone 5/5s models, Apple introduced the ability to swipe from left to return to previous states for apps like Messages, Mail, Safari. Users will find it less cumbersome than reaching for the back buttons at the top. Currently, some third-party apps have integrated this feature, including Instagram.

8. Focus Lock

Access Settings>Cellular to prevent data usage when accessing 4G/3G/GPRS networks in any app.
