Did you know your iPhone has a built-in scientific calculator to perform advanced mathematical operations? In this blog post, we will show you how to open the scientific calculator on your iPhone, and some of the features and functions it offers. Let’s see it in detail.
A scientific calculator gives you additional options to explore complex mathematical operations on your iPhone. Scientific Calculator is a built-in app and you don’t need to download it from the App Store.
How to Access and Open the Scientific Calculator on Your iPhone
It is always important to remember that the scientific calculator on your iPhone has always been in hiding mode for years and you never noticed that. To open the scientific calculator on your iPhone, follow the below steps:
- First, you need to open the Calculator app.
- You can find the Calculator app easily on your home screen, or by swiping down from the top of the screen and typing “Calculator” in the search bar. Tap on the Calculator icon to open it. To open the Calculator, you can also swipe down from the top right corner of the iPhone screen. Tap the calculator icon from the Control Center.
- Now Calculator app will be opened on your iPhone in portrait mode with some basic mathematical operations with buttons for numbers, basic arithmetic operations, percentage, and memory functions.
- To switch to the scientific calculator, you need to rotate your iPhone 90 degrees to landscape mode. The calculator on the screen will automatically adjust to the screen’s orientation. This will reveal more buttons for more complex sets (trigonometric functions, logarithms, exponentials, constants, and more).
- You can easily use the scientific calculator just like a regular calculator, by tapping on the buttons to enter numbers and operations. The display will show you the result of your calculation as you type. You can also use parentheses to group expressions and change the order of operations.
- If you find your calculator not opening in scientific mode (or opening in normal mode showing basic operations only), then there may be a problem with your portrait screen orientation lock.
- To turn off or disable the screen orientation lock, swipe down from the top right corner of the screen, and tap on the screen orientation lock icon to turn off or disable it from the Control Center.
Conclusion
The scientific calculator is always available on your iPhone but in hidden mode. You have to open it in landscape mode by rotating it 90 degrees. If it is not switching to Scientific Mode, you need to make sure that you have disabled the screen orientation lock using the Control Center feature. Once you do that it will work for sure.
The scientific calculator on your iPhone is a very useful tool for performing complex calculations on the go. You can use it for office work, homework, research, or just for fun. We hope this blog post helped you learn how to open and use the scientific calculator on your iPhone.
