There are a lot of applications out there for the iPhone, and so many of them can enhance your life, as long as you know how to find and use them. To take a little of the mystery out of iPhone ownership and make your phone a more useful tool, check out this article's suggestions.
You can mark emails as unread; however, the option is not visible on the main, mail screen. You must reach Details and press the unread button; when you go to email, it will show up as a message that is unread.
When viewing a web page in Safari, you can use either one finger or two to scroll. If the webpage has more than one box, using one finger allows you to scroll just one box. If you use two fingers, you will be able to scroll around an entire page.
Simply play around with your iPhone. The more that you test it out and play with the features, the better acquainted you will become with your phone. It could take days or weeks, but you will learn more about it.
Be careful to avoid exposing t he iPhone to extremely hot or cold temperatures. For instance, if you enter refrigerators or freezers at work, leave your phone somewhere with a steadier climate. This can cause water to form within your phone.
Extracting the most value from an iPhone requires familiarity with a number of skills, one of which involves deleting emails with just a single finger. Simply highlight the message by dragging your finger across the message and hitting the delete button that comes up.
Do not expose your iPhone device to the sun as this can cause damage. If you keep your phone in direct light for a long time, you run the risk of ruining it. Internals are only for normal weather, and sunlight is extreme, particularly after too long in the summer months.
Improve the quality of the photographs you take by pressing your headset's volume button instead of pressing the button on the iPhone itself. By using this button, you avoid shaking your iPhone. The headset's length also allows you to take a picture of yourself without holding the camera.
If you do not like Siri's voice, you can change this to your liking. Begin by going to Siri under your General Settings area of your phone. You can choose your language of choice. You also have the option of changing Siri's accent to a British or Australian one. The British Siri has a male voice, even.
If you get your iPhone wet, try to use rice when drying it out. There are many ways you may get your phone wet, such as puddles or toilets. Do not use a hair dryer. Instead, use a paper towel to wipe it. Then, place the phone in a Ziploc bag that is full of rice. Once the rice has had several hours to absorb moisture (leaving your phone in the bag overnight is ideal), your phone should be dry again.
You don't need to type in the ".com" when browsing the web on your iPhone. All you need to do is include the main part, like Google, and miraculously the iPhone browser transports you to that site. While it may not se em like much, doing so will save you a lot of time over the life of your phone.
Even though the iPhone tries to make surfing the web easy, it can sometimes be difficult to have to go back to the beginning of long webpages. You need not do that! Tapping on the status bar at the top of your screen (i.e. the clock) will return you instantly to the start of the page. This works for other long screens (like iTunes lists) too.
If you're suffering from that dreaded frozen iPhone screen, then simply press the home button down for 5 seconds. Doing this will shut down any frozen apps and let you use your phone again. If that does not work, hold the "home" and power button at the same time for 12 seconds. Use the second trick as a last resort only. Otherwise, try to stick with the first method.
There are moments when using your iPhone you will get a notification alert that interrupts you. It may be important that you finish your work before you deal with the notification. You can quickly get rid of the notification. You can easily remove the notification by simply swiping it away when it pops up.
If you want to go back to the page on top when reading a lengthy website, you do not need to spend too long scrolling. Tap your phone's status bar on the top of the screen, and you are instantly taken to the address bar at the top.
Hit the space bar twice after typing a sentence on the iPhone. This can instantly insert a period, along with a space as well. This avoids having to switch to the number keypad which saves you a lot of time.
Because it replicates practically all of the functions of an ordinary browser, Safari makes it easy to get images from the Internet onto your iPhone. If you see a photo you want to keep on your phone, just press and hold it on the screen. A menu will appear that will allow you to save the image. You can even place it in a message.
Using an iPhone can be an engrossing, or even transformative experience. You probably al ready know this even if you haven't used one yourself. Apply the tips you just read and select your apps carefully to get the best out of your iPhone.
