Answer iPhone Texts on the Fly

When you get a text on an iPhone, the typical course of action is to glance at it and then go into the Messages app to respond. Don't! That extra step isn't actually necessary on newer iPhones.
Next time you receive a text, try pressing down on the notification itself. You'll get the option to type a reply to the message right there, from whatever screen you're currently in. It could save you literally seconds!
