Woman shares iPhone laundry hack that presents any damage to clothes while washing

Laundry is something that most of us avoid doing until necessary. We want it to get done as swiftly as possible and ignore the proper instructions for washing different types of clothes. The result ranges from shrinking sweaters to fading colors, rendering one's favorite clothes unusable. Thankfully, individuals who own an iPhone will no longer have to worry about ruining their clothes due to a lack of knowledge about specific laundering instructions. A woman—who goes by @wtfaleisa on TikTok—shared a video where she discussed the ingenious iPhone hack that allowed users to decipher laundering instructions from the tags on their clothes.

The video has become quite popular on the site, with 516.4K likes and 2504 comments. She starts the video by looking into the camera, saying, "You can take a picture of the tags of your clothes and if you have an iPhone, your phone will just tell you exactly how to take care of those clothes." The creator further shares how the hack did not require any other app and was a built-in feature of the iPhone's camera application. She states that she would show viewers how it works so they could use the hack themselves.

The woman showcases a photo of one of her clothes on her iPhone. "As you can see, it tells you the material, how to wash it and also all of the icons, which no one knows what they mean," she shares. The creator's friend informed her about this incredible feature on the iPhone, prompting her to post a video about it. All people would need to do after taking a photo is to bring it up on the phone and click on the little 'i' at the bottom of the screen, that has sparkles on it.

She taps on it herself to demonstrate what happens. A new screen comes up where there is a prompt for "Laundry Care," which reveals a very informative menu that explains what all of the icons on cloth labels mean. This information can be immensely beneficial in keeping one's clothes in the best condition and preventing any kind of damage to them while laundering. The woman loves this feature and highlights how she was born in the "right generation." She points out how the "little rectangle" in her pocket is capable of telling her all of this information without needing to download an app.

The woman concludes the informative clip by stating how she loves the feature on her iPhone. People were also intrigued by the hack and shared similar hacks they found in their iPhones in the comments section. @kiyakakes commented, "This also works on plants if you wanna see what kind it is." Another individual, @ttpop073, shared, "You can do that with dogs and cats also. It'll tell you the breed on the animal icon." @saddemonboii said, "You can also translate languages. It's Google translate accurate, so far from perfect, but it's functional."
