#BiginnersTips - Are you using Bigin on iOS? This is for you!

Apple's iOS 16 update has enabled us to offer you a more business-friendly iPhone experience and enhance your productivity while on the go. Getting things done has never been easier with Bigin! Let's have a look at what's new:

Lock screen widgets
 
Get quick access to essential information on your lock screen and stay updated on business conditions. Widgets offer various options for displaying the data you need. Some widgets help you keep tabs on deals, enable you to add new contacts, and provide a rundown of daily activities.




QR scanner
 
Gone are the days when you had to enter data manually. Scan a business card using Bigin's QR scanner and the appropriate fields will be filled in automatically, so you can save contacts. All you have to do is point your camera towards the QR code using the Bigin app. Its that simple!




Weather
 
We understand how critical it is for field agents and salespeople to set up business meetings. Imagine the stress of having to reschedule an important meeting due to bad weather. Terrible right? We've come up with a solution: before scheduling a meeting in Bigin, check the weather forecasts for the preferred date and place. This feature helps you anticipate unexpected weather and avoid the risk of a meeting getting pushed or cancelled.
 
 



Quick note
 
Sometimes you need to jot down information or make a to-do list while you're on the go or in a meeting. Bigin's quick notes help you record information fast. Go to the Contacts, Deals, or Products modules—whichever one you're currently working on—and then open the control center and select the quick notes feature. You can link the contact or deal and take down notes specific to that record. This is handy in crucial moments when you can't find a pen and paper.




Focus filter
 
This new iPhone feature makes it easier to focus on tasks. With Bigin, you can also use focus filters to make working hours even more productive and focused. You can set your preferred theme (dark or light) for the Bigin app, choose notifications based on priority, and filter views and pipelines according to your needs. To set a focus filter, go to Settings > Focus > Work.





Room Plan 
 
This new mobile Bigin feature is super beneficial for realtors who are constantly adding pictures and videos to property listings. Now they can go above and beyond to seal the deal by providing clients with 3D floor plans. All you have to do is open your camera and capture the surroundings to create a model of the property.





Lift subject from background
 
One of the most helpful new feature updates Apple has introduced is the ability to lift subjects from backgrounds in pictures. This tool is especially useful when you have to upload a product picture or a contact photo. All you have to do is use a simple gesture to cut an item from its context and place it against a white background. Your iPhone can do this in a matter of seconds.
 



Live text quick options
 
Make work simpler! Translate image text and convert it into action items. Your camera provides features quick actions in Bigin so you can call phone numbers or send emails to addresses that appear as text in the frame. This essential feature helps eliminate manual errors.
