The iPhone have many sensors and components, capable from telling you what you measure (thanks to the lidar scanner of the pro versions), to counting the floors you upload in a building or show your location on the map. All this without the need for the Internet, only with the tools of the phone itself.
However, they are well known, but did you know that too shows you the place where you are and the altitude you are? It has its logic, since GPS works without the Internet, but not only will use this sensor, but also others, such as pressure to know your exact altitude, since in the same building the plant 1 will not be the same as 40, and, nevertheless, on the map you would appear the same.
How to know what altitude I am with the iPhone
Discovering this is very simple, and you will not need to download any application, since the tool that does is integrated into iOS itself, so, unless you have erased it, you should have it and be able to use it.
It is nothing more and nothing less than the Compass. Yes, an app that we never use because it makes no sense orient with it, since we have the maps where it also tells us. However, when entering this application, not only will it mark the north, south, etc. degrees, but also the place where we are (city name, people, etc.) and a reference that indicates the meters of altitude to which we find ourselves.
I have had the opportunity to try it on different occasions, and the truth is that I was surprised by its accuracy. It is not the most interesting tool in the world, but at some point you want to know at how height thesesomething that usually happens when you are very much, and the coverage is usually bad, a good way to find out without having to look for anything is thanks to the compass.
This will also tell you your coordinates, which are sent to emergency services when your iPhone or Apple Watch detect an accident or fall (provided your device has the tool). However, if you want to say for yourself, and you don't know exactly where you are, it is a good way to be located, without the need for the Internet, as we said, or mobile coverage.
In case of not having the app, because you have erased it or because you have activated the elimination of these if you do not use them, you can download it again from the App Store, since it will be available there.
And you, did you know this application? Surely you have once opened it, even if to see what I was about, and after playing a little looking for the north, you would have realized that it is useless and possibly erased it. However, today you have seen that you can have more functions than you thought, so we encourage you to download it again and try it well. Check your altitude, do you do what you really find?
