Tips And Tricks That Make Your IPhone More Fun
There are a lot of ways your life can become easier if you have one of the many available apps that exist for the iPhone, but first you must have the knowledge of how to use them correctly. Keep reading this article in order to make your phone a device that can save you a headache rather than giving you one.
To dry an iPhone that’s wet, use rice. At some point in time, your phone could get wet by accident. Rather than trying to dry out your device with a blow dryer, wipe the outside with an absorbent cloth, and place the phone into a bowl or bag filled with dry rice. After allowing it to sit for about half a day, the device should be back to normal.
You don’t need to type in the “.com” when browsing the web on your iPhone. Entering in the title of the site is sufficient. Although this seems miniscule, this can save you a great amount of time over your iPhone’s life.
It’s not commonly known how simple it can be to save pictures from Safari or Mail. When you see a picture you want to save to your phone, just tap and hold on the image. A box pops up with the save option.
When browsing the web on your iPhone, try scrolling with a single finger and two fingers. When the webpage uses dividing boxes, one finger scrolls from box to box. Two finger scrolling lets you scroll the whole page itself.
By default, your iPhone will show a preview of incoming messages on the lock screen. You may like this feature, or you may hate it. If you are one that does not like that feature, you will be happy to learn that you can stop that feature from continuing. All you need to do is go into your setting and then click on notifications, and finally, tap messages. You’ll want to disable the Show Preview function.
If you need to do some quick math, use the iPhone’s calculator function. The calculator is in a standard form when holding the iPhone vertically, but changes into a scientific calculator when held horizontally.
If you own an iPhone with Siri and value your privacy, think twice about talking to her a lot. Apple will record any prompts you make to Siri and saves them internally. This is done to aid speech recognition and secure those files, but keep in mind that anything said to Siri can be recorded.
If your iPhone ever freezes and you cannot revive it by pressing the “Wake” button, you may need to perform a hard reset. All you need to do is press and hold both the power and Home buttons at the same time until the phone resets. The phone should shutdown and get itself restarted so you can continue using it.
Volume Buttons
Take photos with you iPhone without messing up the image by shaking it too much. In order to do this, use the volume buttons that are located on your headphones. Begin by keeping your hand steady on the subject you’re capturing. You simply press one of the volume buttons on your headphone cord to snap a photo.
The Calendar on your iPhone is a great organizational tool. You can add events faster and easier directly rather than using the + button. While you are in “Day” view, if you tap and hold on any hour, you can automatically create an event for that particular time. This will save you some time in your busy day.
You can use your iPhone camera single-handedly. Hold your iPhone with a steady hand and press the volume button to take the picture. There is no effect on the quality of your photos by using this feature.
There is no doubt an iPhone is simple to use when surfing the Web. However, it can be a real drag to try to scroll all the way back to the beginning of a long web page. There’s no reason for you to waste time doing this! Touching the top bar shown on the screen (the clock area) brings you back to the page’s beginning. This feature works for any screen that you may have up.
Sleep/wake Button
Has the screen on your iPhone ever frozen? The first thing to try is, of course, the sleep/wake button. If that does not work, then press the Sleep/Wake button with the Home button together. You will be taken through a hard reboot, requiring you to use the power button, but it will work in a short amount of time.
Consider purchasing a battery management app. There are a few options, and they help you make your battery last longer. It can also alert you when you need to calibrate.
If you find Siri’s voice to be grating, there are alternative selections you can make. Find the Siri function which is in the general->settings section. You can change her language to French, German or English. You can also change Siri’s English dialect to reflect either British or Australian usage. If you choose to change Siri to having a British accent, you will also be changing Siri’s gender, as British Siri is male.
With the iPhone you have the power to instantaneously take a screenshot whenever you want. Simply press the home and power buttons simultaneously. This will allow you to take a screenshot of your phone’s current display and save it to your iPhone.
Stay connected with everyone by using social media on your iPhone. Your iPhone has apps available for both Facebook and Twitter. Twitter actually is built right into the most recent operating system. You’ll have all the latest information at your fingertips.
