Your iPhone is your trusty best friend. It lies next to you, it goes everywhere with you (even to the loo sometimes) and you feel almost naked when you’re without it. And since this device is practically life’s greatest blessing, it’s important to know what it can do for you, so you can finally say that you know your BFF inside out. Here are 10 things that you might not have known your iPhone could do.

This shows up in the Health App on iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus, which can also be customised to be your personal health dashboard. It’s a great way to set a goal and check your progress.

2. Your iPhone can save your life!
Set up Medical ID with emergency contacts, allergies, medication you are on and other details that can be accessed in an emergency from your Lock Screen.

3. Remind you of things based on arriving at a specific location
Get Siri to remind you to pick up the ingredients for your favourite recipe when you leave work.

4. Take Slo-mo and TimeLapse videos
Whether you like your video super slow or super fast, the iPhone camera lets you take silky smooth videos with great effects.
