【Watch Dark Fantasies (2010)】

Yes,Watch Dark Fantasies (2010) it's true! Your iPhone has built-in nature sounds that can be played continuously. If you, like me, doze off to sleep more quickly with white noise playing in the background, you'll greatly benefit from this little-known iOS trick.

After a quick trip to the Settings app, you can set up your iPhone to play ocean sounds, the pitter-patter of rain, and more. Follow the instructions below to fire up some nature sounds while you sleep.
