If you’re intending to travel more this year, you should be aware of a new iPhone function.
Travel may be a nuisance at times, especially when it comes to managing the numerous planning components.
For example, consider currency conversion.
It’s not a farfetched idea, and it will give you more than just a headache because it means you’ll have to sacrifice and save just to pay for some delicious cuisine on your vacation.
Fortunately, if you own an iPhone (sorry, Android users), you won’t have to worry about this.
There’s a free feature on your smartphone that can help you manage your money.
If you hadn’t noticed, the iOS 18 update has improved your calculator app.
Instead of being useful for simple math, it can also be used to convert money between multiple currencies.
According to Instagram user @lifeofthetravelingpin, this ‘game changer’ should be well-known.
She said in a post alongside a reel showing people how to use it: “DON’T miss this travel hack! It works without data too.
“This is a crazy new update for @apple Iphone users! SAVE this for your next international trip and SHARE it with a friend!
“As someone who is always traveling, I have a currency converter open on my phone at all times. I used to dread those moments at the market trying to quickly calculate prices in my head. Fumbling with a currency converter app while offline was always a bit stressful. Can you relate?! If so, keep reading! This NEW feature not only is it easily accessible, but it also works without data AND easily switches to input the local currency or your home currency. Now you can easily convert currencies directly from your phone, even when you don’t have an internet connection.”
So, how do you utilize a calculator to convert currency?
First, navigate to the Calculator app and select the Calculator Mode icon.
Then, click on your ‘Convert’ option and select ‘Currency’ from the menu, from which you can choose your currency.
This functionality is now accessible on the iPhone XR/XS and other devices with the iOS 18 release.
