Looking For Information About The Iphone? Check Out These Tips!

By Crisanto Valdemor


Iphones can do so much to keep all of your information in one place, if you know how to properly use it, but most people do not. If you are aware of the fact that there are things that you can learn about your phone you have come to the right place.

Are you looking to do a little private browsing on Safari on your iPhone? You can by simply going into the Safari area of settings and clicking on private browsing. You'll know the feature is on because it changes the color of your iOS Safari background from brushed metal to black.

Save time while texting on your iPhone by tapping the space bar twice. This quick shortcut will automatically end your sentence with a period, then start a new sentence. The first letter of the new sentence will be automatically capitalized. This trick it perfect for long texts and anyone on the go.

Do you need to look up a restaurant or a doctor's office number? Open Safari and do a local search. Safari should recognize phone numbers and allow you to tap on them. If you do so, your iPhone will dial the number. This also works for numbers sent via emails.

For faster photo taking, tap twice on your iphone's home button, and a camera icon will appear. Tap it again, and it will immediately bring up access to the camera. You can snap a picture using the volume (up) button on the phone or on the headphone cord. A pinch of the screen will allow for zooming.

If Autocorrect wants you to choose a certain word and you don't want to choose that word, you don't actually have to click the little X. You can tap anywhere else one the screen and the little suggestion will go away! This can be a lot quicker than trying to click the X

If your iphone gets wet, it may not be ruined. Gently towel dry the device. Do not turn it on or use heat or wind to dry it out. Instead, place it in a baggie with some white rice, and leave it for several hours. The rice will absorb any moisture that is inside your iphone.

If your emails start to pile up, then stop wasting time and deleting those messages one by one. It's rather simple to delete them all at once. By going to your inbox, simply click on the edit button and check all the emails you want to delete. Then simply hit the delete button, and they're all erased!

Enable restrictions. If someone young is using the iphone, you can set mature content restriction. Alternatively, you may have some content you don't want anyone else happening upon. You can set a restriction on particular pieces of content to make sure no one other than yourself has access to them.

One of the ways that you can personalize your iPhone is to change the wallpaper in the front and main screens on your iPhone. You can select from existing wallpapers that Apple creates or chooses from your camera roll, where you will be able to choose from the photos that you have saved..

A good tip if you plan on using an iphone is to make sure you end up with the best plan. The best plan for everyone might be different such as a family plan or pay as you go plan. It's important to find the right one for you so that you dont' pay more than you have to.

A new feature the iPhone has that many people do not know about is its built-in dictionary. This can even be used as you are writing an email or text message. If there is a word that you are unsure about, just tap on it and you will see "define" pop up--tap on it!

Take a screenshot. Do you want to show friends a creepy text message your ex just sent you? You can take a quick screenshot whenever you want. Just press your home button, and your on/off switch at the same time. Your screen should flash, and your screenshot will go to your pictures.

If you are having issues with your IPhone, preform a "hard reset". Press the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button at the same time until you see the power off slider appear on the screen. Use it to shut down your phone completely before restarting. This method can fix many minor issues.

Check out stocks with live updates straight to your phone. If you have to go on a family event, or step out the office for an extended period of time you can still keep track of your most important stocks. If you start to see a trend you can call in to your office and have them change your stocks around so that you aren't left coming up short.

Do not rely solely on the iPhone's auto brightness feature to save battery power. If the auto brightness feature is active, the phone's brightness sensor will be constantly active and using battery power to adjust the brightness. Instead, use the manual brightness setting and put it on the lowest setting that is visible to you.

As stated at the start of this article, iphones have an almost endless amount of features to make it easy to keep all of your information in one place. Now that you have read the entire article you know that all you need to do is to put the above tips to use to get more out of your phone.
