This hidden iPhone feature tells you who's calling before you've looked at the screen

IPhone 16 in a hand.

Our smartphones bombard us with a host of notifications every single day, and anything that helps to sift through and prioritize those alerts can be really helpful – anything like the iPhone's ability to use custom vibrations for specific contacts, for example.

Get this feature set up, and you'll be able to tell who's calling just by the way your phone buzzes in your pocket or on a table: straight away, you know if this is someone important that you need to speak to, even before you've glanced at the screen.
