Doesn’t it seem like everyone has an iPhone today? Though the iPhone has become ubiquitous, it is hard for some to learn its many uses. If you don’t know how to use your iPhone yet, keep reading. The article below can quickly transform you into an expert.
There are a few different ways you can scroll through your contacts, but one way doesn’t require flicking. Start by holding your finger on the alphabetical list. Slide up or down with your finger. This will give you a more controlled way to search through contacts.
Don’t forget that your iPhone is capable of displaying various types of media. You can enjoy videos from virtually any source on your iPhone. This media mobility means you can watch movies or shows wherever you are.
The standard Weather app on your iPhone is a great source for all the weather information you need. A click on the weather station is all it takes to get a good future breakdown of the next 12 hours in any location. Siri can also provide you with a forecast for several hours.
Do you want to reduce the amount of programs on the background of your device? You can close them by first double-clicking the home button. Locate the app that you want to close, and then push on it with your finger. The icon will begin wiggle, and when this happens, a red minus sign will appear; then, you just tap it and the app will close.
Keep in mind you don’t have to always need to press X each time AutoCorrect pops up to suggest a correction. You can make this process faster by tapping anywhere on your screen. The box will instantly close.
Depending on the layout of the page, one or two fingers could allow you to navigate through different parts of the page. When the webpage uses dividing boxes, one finger scrolls from box to box. Using two fingers will allow you to scroll the entire page.
Do not subject your iPhone to the hot sun for a long period of time. When in sunlight for too long, your phone could stop working. Internals are only for normal weather, and sunlight is extreme, particularly after too long in the summer months.
You can quickly reach the top of any page you are viewing without having to scroll. You need not do that! Tap the status bar to return to the top of the page. This works for other long screens (like iTunes lists) too.
You can take a screenshot when you want with your iPhone. Just hold the power and home button at the same time. Don’t hold them too long; press on them briefly. This is a simple way to take a screenshot and send it to your Images app.
You can navigate the Internet on your iPhone the same as you would on a laptop. If you find a picture you would like to save, simply press and hold it. A menu will pop with the option to save the photo to your iPhone’s Camera Roll. You can also insert the image into an email if you like.
Has your iPhone stopped responding and become frozen? If the sleep or home buttons do not work, try pressing on “home” for several seconds. This ends the session for all of your locked apps. If there is still no response, hold down both the Home and Sleep buttons for approximately ten seconds. The Apple logo should appear and the device will reset.
You can turn your favorite website in an app. First, navigate to the site. Once you do this, tap the “Go” icon. Doing so means you have the chance to add a shortcut to this website to the home screen of your iPhone. Like any other app you create, you can easily rename this link once you have it stored safely on the home screen.
In your iPhone’s music app, you can adjust which icons appear on your screen. All you need to do is hit ‘settings’ and choose the function that allows you to use more icons. This allows you to expand your list of icons so that you can become more functional when using your iPhone.
Have you lost a great picture because your camera app did not come up quickly? Use this shortcut instead. Make sure the device is locked and push the Home button two times. This provides you with a camera on the bottom to take pictures. Touch this camera icon and you will be able to use your iPhone as a camera right away.
You can increase picture quality by using the volume on your headset to take the picture, instead of using the iPhone button. This button can be set on your iPhone so you can avoid shaking it. This will also allow self portraits to be taken from various angles.
If you do not intend to use the wireless radio function on your iPhone, disable it. Despite the fact that you are not currently using these applications and wireless functions, if they are open they are draining the battery life of your iPhone. Wireless radios include GPS, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. Make sure they are turned off when not in use.
You may want to opt for a larger keyboard to make surfing the Internet easier. You do not have to purchase a larger keyboard for this to happen. Simply turn the device to the side, push the address bar in the browser and you will be all set! Now your keyboard is larger and you will be able to type more efficiently.
While in the Safari browser, you can simply make a phone call with one tap. Perhaps you are searching for a local grocery store. When you find a number, you don’t have to go back to the phone menu to call. Instead, all you have to do is tap the number.
At this point, you ought to have a much greater understanding of the iPhone. Now it’s time to use that knowledge. In no time, you’ll feel that you are at the top of your game when it comes to getting the most out of your phone.
