Do you wish to do some cool things on your iphone, but you don’t know how? You have come to the right place. The information below will share lots of cool ideas for getting the most out of your iphone!
Rice helps to reduce the moisture on your iphone. Nearly everyone has dropped a phone in a puddle, sink or even a toilet. 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 a number of hours, or overnight, your phone should be dry.
If you are using your iphone to search the web, you do not need to type in the .com of the web address you want to go to. The phone will recognize the website when you type in its main name. This tip may seem silly, but it really saves time over the long run, especially if you navigate to sites a lot over the course of your iPhone’s life.
It is possible to create an app from your commonly used sites. Open the website on your phone’s browser. Once you do this, tap the “Go” icon. Then, you will have the option of adding the site to the home screen. When you see it on the home page, you are able to rename it. Then, you have an app!
Try scrolling through web pages with one or two fingers. When the webpages has boxes, one finger scrolling lets you see each box individually. If you want to quickly scan the entire page, use two fingers.
Via the default setting, the iphone shows previews of messages when the lock screen is on. To you, this may either be handy or a hindrance. If it is not to your liking, there is an option to remove this facility. Go to the settings, select notifications, then messages. The feature you need to turn off is the Show Preview option.
Have you lost a great picture because your camera app did not come up quickly? Here is a simple solution. Tap twice on the Home button when your screen is locked. A little camera icon should be seen close to the bottom on the screen. Touch this button in order to enable the camera automatically.
If you need to do some quick math, but not in your head, make use of the calculator in your iphone. When you hold your calculator vertical it is standard, but when horizontal it shifts into a scientific calculator.
If you have Siri on your iphone, but like to keep your privacy, you maybe not want to continue to use her. Anytime you use Siri, Apple is recording all of the voice prompts and they keep them on their internal server. Although this assists with improving speech recognition and Apple maintains that there is file security, be aware that your conversations with Siri may be recorded.
Do you know how to snap a screenshot of your iphone? Hold the sleep and home buttons for at least three seconds and this will take the snapshot. When the screen is white, release the buttons as the shot was saved.
The Safari browser on the iphone is almost as versatile as your computer at home. You can even save online images if you want. If you find a picture you would like to save, simply press and hold it. A menu will appear, asking if you wish to save the image to your Camera Roll. You can then put it in a message if you want.
Hard reset your iphone if it gets frozen. Hold down the button while you are pressing the Home key at the same time. The phone should shutdown and get itself restarted so you can continue using it.
If you browse on your iphone using Safari, you do not have to type “.com” in the URL. For example, if you wish to visit CNN’s website, simply type “CNN” into the web address bar.
Use the iphone Calendar feature to keep your life organized. Use it directly to add meetings and reminders instead of using the plus button. Go to the “Day” view. Then press on the hour you want to schedule an event for. This creates a new event listing. Fast scheduling helps you to save a ton of time.
It’s possible to take iphone photos using only one hand. Frame the picture as you please and choose the volume up button on the side of your device. There’s no difference in the resulting picture’s quality when you take it this way.
While the iphone tries to make web browsing simple and painless, it can be a chore to try to navigate to the beginning of a page, especially if it is long. There is not need to do that! Touching the top bar shown on the screen (the clock area) brings you back to the page’s beginning. This also works for other screens that are long too (such as iTunes lists).
Visit Facebook from your iphone. Your iphone can be used to quickly and easily access Facebook and use it to stay connected with your friends and family.
You should also think about options with an app specifically for managing your battery. There are many different options, and they can tell you what apps and actions use the most power. It can also alert you when you need to calibrate.
You are always ready for a screenshot with your iphone. Just hold the power and home button at the same time. (Press them briefly; holding them down too long will cause other, undesired effects.) This will take a snapshot of your current display and send it directly to the Images app for you.
