iOS 12: How the tape measure works on iPhone

The latest version of iOS supports a built-in tape measure, so as a user you no longer have to rely on a third-party app. However, how exactly the tape measure works is not clear to every user from the start.

iOS 12: How to use the tape measure app on iPhone

Since the new version of iOS, you can now find the tape measure app on your homescreen, which helps you measure distances using the camera and your gyroscope.

1. To use the tape measure properly, you first need to calibrate your device.
2. To do this, launch the app and follow the on-screen instructions.
3. In general, you need to move the device in a very specific pattern until the gyroscope is set up correctly.
4. Once the app is set up, you can start measuring.
5. To do this, point the dot inside the visible circle to the place from which you want to measure.
6. Now press the plus sign to start measuring.
