You probably spend a lot of time reading scrollable content on your iPhone, but you might not know about this feature. When you’ve scrolled down on a page, you can return to the top simply by tapping your phone’s status bar. This can be very helpful, and once you’re familiar with the feature, you may find yourself using it all the time.
Never download applications that are not intended specifically for the iPhone. If you do, you are risking your phone’s stability and usability. Other applications may carry viruses. Only use applications that have been specifically approved for the iPhone to ensure that your phone is able to operate at its maximum efficiency.
Is your iPhone frozen? Hold down the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button at the same time. Wait until it gives you the option to shut it down. Swipe the screen to shut your phone down. Once it powers down, turn it back on. This will reset the phone and generally fixes any problem you may have with your freezing.
If you want to take a picture quickly, double tap on your Home button. Even if the phone is locked this will bring up a little camera icon that will allow you to open the camera. You can then use the Volume Up button on your phone or headphones to snap the picture!
The iPhone uses diction. This helps because you don’t have to type. You can enable this by tapping the microphone button on your phone and talking into it. When you are done, hit the stop button and it automatically types what you say. You can also use this feature to update your status on social networking sites.
While in the Safari browser, you can simply make a phone call with one tap. You might run across a number you want to call if you’re searching for, say, a restaurant online. When you find the number, no need to go to your phone component to make the call. Just tap on their number and you’ll be connected to your desired business immediately.
You can edit the pictures you take on your iPhone. Go to the picture you want to edit. Once you find the picture, click the Edit button in the top right corner. This will allow you to fix red-eye, crop, rotate, or auto-enhance. After you make your fix, click Save in the top right corner.
These suggestions are just the beginning of using your iPhone. Try them out, and use those that work best for you. An iPhone is an expensive investment, you should get as much use from it as possible. Try these tips and you will begin to grow your knowledge base and enjoy your iPhone.
