Many people own an iphone. 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.
To get the most out of your iphone, remember that Siri has a ton of unique options you can use, like location reminders. Rather than saying “Siri, let me know to call my job at 5pm.” Instead, you can request: “Siri, tell me to contact the office when I reach my home.” When your iphone knows you are home, it will give you the reminder. With this feature, you can set reminders based on location, not time.
When using Safari, make calls 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 the number and you will be instantly connected to the business you want to contact.
Practically any website can be transformed into an app for your iphone. When you are on the site there are a couple of things you have to do. Once you are on the website, just hit the “Go” button. Then, you will have the option of adding the site to the home screen. You can have your own app once you rename it.
Many iphone users will spent a lot of time surfing the web and reading mail, but they do not know how to save the images they find or are sent.

If you want to multiply, subtract or add something really quick, use the calculator component found in the iPhone’s utilities section. When held vertically, the calculator is a standard calculator, but when held horizontally, it becomes a highly-functional scientific calculator.
If you do not like Siri’s voice, it can be changed. Find Siri in the General Settings area. You can set the language she will use to French, German or English. You can also choose your preferred accent; for instance, make Siri British. And even more fun, the British version of Siri is male, so you can have a whole new experience!
To hang onto the draft of a message, you have started typing, just tap the “Cancel” button. The mail option will appear and will ask if you want to Save or Don’t Save, or if you want to cancel. Tap on Save, and the message you are writing will be moved into Drafts. The iphone makes it easy by creating a Drafts folder for you, if you do not already have one in place.
Your iphone contains a very handy and useful dictionary. This tool is incredibly helpful. Simply hold your finger on any word and choose “Define” from the list of options that appears.
