Keeping track of your spending when travelling abroad can be difficult. The food, the transport, the excursions — there are so many factors to consider and dealing with a different currency makes it even more of a challenge. But with 51 countries now more expensive for Brits to travel to, following a drop in the pound’s value,being able to quickly calculate prices is more useful than ever.

Lucking, there’s a little-known iPhone feature that makes this much easier. The calculator app has had a makeover, and you can now use it to convert currencies with just a couple of taps. The tip has gone viral on social media, with one Instagram user and travel planner, @lifeofthetravelingpin, calling it a ‘game changer’ for international travel.

She added: ‘This new feature not only is it easily accessible, but it also works without data and easily switches to input the local currency or your home currency. Now you can easily convert currencies directly from your phone, even when you don’t have an internet connection.’.
