Have you ever felt a bit annoyed having to repeatedly enter your iPhone's passcode? It can be annoying at times, especially if facial recognition fails.

Even though Face ID and Touch ID have made unlocking iPhones more accessible and secure, there are situations where those methods won't work, such as when you're wearing gloves or sunglasses. It can be frustrating, but there's actually a cool trick that can help you out.

Using your iPhone's Voice Control feature, which lets you control your device with your voice, you can unlock your phone by saying a secret phrase. It only works when Face ID or Touch ID is disabled, but it's a really helpful hack to know for those times when you can't use the Face ID or Touch ID features.
