Pretty much everyone who has seen the iPhone thinks it’s one of the best inventions in the world. However, you may not be aware of what makes this device so great. This article contains that information, and gives you new tricks you may not know, even if you have had your iPhone for a long time.
Are you sick of constantly getting iPhone notifications? If so, you have the option to disable these notifications. Begin by selecting the settings button, then tap the notifications bar. Examine which apps are listed in the heading and delete things that you don’t need. This will also dramatically increase the iPhone’s battery life.
To save time, do not always click the “X” button when the AutoCorrect function erroneously changes your word. All you need to do is press the screen, anywhere. This closes the suggestion box immediately, so that you can type the word the proper way.
If your phone freezes and does not respond to Wake/Sleep, you can simply force a hard reset. Hold down the button while you are pressing the Home key at the same time. The phone will then shut down and restart as a signal that everything went well.
In order to choose to make an email stay marked as unread, you have to locate the command because it’s not visible. Find ‘Details’ on your iPhone menu and click on the unread tag for email. When you return to your email it will be marked as unread.
If you want weather reports every hour, you can go right to your iPhone’s Weather application. A lot of people don’t know that when you click on local weather, you can get an breakdown for every hour in the next 12 hours’ weather. Another way to get an hourly breakdown is to request the weather from Siri.
Working with and taking photos on the iPhone is a great feature and something most people use to their advantage. After some heavy photography sessions, though, it can be tough to sort through all the snapshots in your Camera Roll. The album feature on the iPhone makes it easy to organize, store and retrieve photos. This feature helps you to quickly find a picture among the many you’ve taken.
Do you need to shut down several programs you have open in the background of your iPhone? You can easily take care of this if you tap your home key. Touch and hold the icon of any background app that you want to close with your fingertip. When the image wiggles, just tap the red button to close the application.
Siri allows you to set reminders based on your location. If you were used to giving Siri time-based commands, you can instead switch to location-based commands to make things easier. So instead of having Siri remind you to call somewhere at 6 p.m., you can instead have her remind you when you get home. The phone will automatically know you are at the destination and give you the reminder. You can still have your reminder even though you can’t predict when you will get home.
There may be times that you are interrupted by a notification when you are doing work on your iPhone. Many times, you want to complete what you started before checking on the notice. You can easily dismiss notifications. You just wipe away the pop up screen.
Use the iPhone to your advantage by learning the tricks associated with it. Simply brush your finger over a message you wish to get rid of, and a delete button will appear on the screen.
You can scroll down the contact list of your phone by using three different methods. You have the option of tapping on a letter to quickly jump to it, scrolling through the whole list with your finger, or gently pressing your finger against the list. The last way allows you to scroll quickly through your entire list.
You won’t need to worry about ending up on the wrong road with the iPhone. Mapping software comes with your iPhone so that you can immediately start pinpointing locations without having to worry about adding an app. This is great for helping you get back home or visiting a new place you haven’t seen yet.
Just like other kinds of smart phones, you can set up an iPhone to give you a visual indicator for the calls and messages you receive. You can make the flash from the camera blink when you are getting a call. In the Settings menu, go to General, then to Accessibility. Then turn on the alert feature titled LED Flash.
Did you know that you can use your headphone cord to take a photo? Simply frame the picture that you wish to take. Hold your cord button and this will give you the ability to take your picture. This will then take the photo. Use your regular picture saving steps to add the picture to your camera roll.
Do not lose the guarantee paperwork and considering an insurance policy for your iPhone can be a wise decision. You should be almost fully protected with both the warranty and a decent insurance policy. Make sure your iPhone is protected by a case in order to prevent damage from dropping.
While most people know how to surf the Internet or check email on the iPhone, many are unsure of the proper way to save specific images from websites or messages. Find the image you want, touch and hold. After a few seconds, a pop-up box will give you the option of saving the image to your phone.
When you run out of time to complete an email, just tap it rather than closing the full application. The iPhone will then ask if you would like to save the email in your drafts folder. Select “yes” and you return to the draft email later on.
The iPhone is so common that nearly all mobile phone users have one. You may have been confused as to what the hype was all about before, but now that you have read this article, you should understand why it’s in your best interest to have one of these awesome devices!
