The historical blackout that we live yesterday in Spain left Millions of people Without electricity, without internet and, in many cases, also without mobile coverage. An unexpected scenario that forced the television screens to turn off, set aside teleworking and even give up the infinite scroll of social networks.
But not everything was chaos or despair: If you have an iPhone And you don't know how to take advantage of it, even forced disconnection can be an opportunity to reset your digital life. I tell you from my experience what to do in these cases to have the device always tidy.
What to do with the iPhone without the Internet
That was exactly what I did. With the fall and battery of the iPhone 13 pro max well -charged, I faced one of those tasks that I always postpone: Clean the photo app. Because, let's be honest, we all accumulate hundreds or even thousands of duplicate images, absurd screenshots, memes that no longer make funny and blurred photos that should never see the light. So I got to work.
Without distractions, without notifications or emails to read, I finally had the calm necessary to Organize the photo library. I eliminated some, I marked the important ones, I created albums for themes and released space in this way. And not only did it help me to clean the iPhone gallery, but I also made a travel spice to the past, seeing those photos that I didn't even remember, while recovering some storage, which never hurts.
But I didn't stay there. I also took the opportunity to give a good washing for my iPhone. I changed the wallpaper, establishing a collection of 6 photos that are rotating throughout the day, I reorganized the start icons And I grouped the apps that I really use on one page, leaving another exclusively for Widgets. I even uninstalled applications that had not been opened for some time. Because that blackout was also a good time to reflect on what use I give the mobile and if I really need so many tools, so many alerts and so many fast accesses.
Sometimes we forget that the iPhone can also be a space of calm, not just constant noise. Redesign it to your likingreally customizing it, it can be more satisfactory than it seems. And with a little available time it is worth it to carry it out (and yesterday it was almost 12 hours).
And since not everything goes on screens, there was also room for the essential. I was with my family, I read a while on paper, I went out to take a walk in the neighborhood without the constant buzz of the hyperconnected city, took a few photos at sunset, and more. It was a forced break, yes, but also a necessary pause to remember that life does not depend exclusively on be connected to the Internet. That small things are also part of the present.
So, if you ever stay without coverage and without light, do not panic. Your iPhone is still useful, even without connection. Do cleaning, organizes, customizes and, above all, remember that you can also really disconnect.
