All There Is To Know About Using The Iphone

By Aldrin Trajano


These days, it seems as if everyone has a smartphone. One of the most popular brands of smartphone is Apple's iPhone. With these devices, there are any number of amazing things you can do to make your life easier. The following tips will help you get the most from your iPhone.

If you drop your iPhone into something wet, don't panic. Leave it off and simply dry it gently with a towel. Then grab a zipper storage bag or bowl and submerge the phone in some uncooked white rice. The rice will help draw out the moisture that is trapped inside the phone.

There are several shortcuts to taking pictures with your iPhone. One of these helps you quickly snap a shot by just pressing a button. Once you have positioned your iPhone on your subject, simply press the volume-up button on the side of the phone. This will snap a picture right away.

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.

When in a call with someone, take advantage of the mute button. The mute button is located on the top left when you are in a call and will prevent the person on the other end of the line from hearing your voice. If you need to talk to someone else while on the phone, this is a great time to use this function.

Try to keep the applications that you use the most on the first page. This is important as you will want to reduce the amount of time that you search for your favorite used functions. Sort your most widely used functions in order from the most to least use on the first page for convenience.

You don't need to hit the Shift button following the end of a sentence on an iPhone. The phone automatically uses a capital letter for the next word following the space after an ending punctuation mark. You can override this feature by going to Settings, looking under General, and going to Keyboard. Locate Auto-Capitalization and turn it off.

If you are like most iPhone owners, you love taking photos with the device. However, would you like to have the option to preview the picture you just took? You can by following this simple procedure. After you take the photo, start on the left of the screen and drag your finger to the right. This will show you a preview of the last picture you took.

To increase your storage space on your iPhone, take advantage of iCloud. This will only take you a few minutes to set up, and it can triple or quadruple the amount of space that is made available. This is especially useful if you store a lot of photographs or a big music library on your phone.

If you're sending messages to friends who don't use iPhones themselves, remember that longer messages will get broken into 160-character texts. You can keep an eye on your messages' length by adding a character counter to iMessage. Just open the Settings menu and go to "character count" under "messages." With the counter enabled, you'll never have to worry about a message getting broken at an unfortunate point again!

Would you like to have a quicker way to get to your search bar on your iPhone? You can do this by first tapping on your home key. Then tap again right away. This will load the Spotlight search bar. That is a universal search bar for your whole iPhone.

If your iPhone uses iOS4 and up, you can use it as a wireless router. First, access General Settings, then locate the Network button. From this screen, simply tap Set Up Personal Hotspot. You will be asked to confirm the change by your service provider. Now you can connect your iPod, computer or other device to your iPhone's wireless connection.

The iPhone will often suggest a word when you type something in with the keyboard that it thinks you have misspelled. If you wish to dismiss this word, just tap anywhere on the screen. This keeps you from having to tap the "x" at the end of the word, and it can help to keep you going with your train of thought.

Don't load an excessive number of apps onto your Iphone. There are many well thought out apps that can make your life more pleasant and help you get things done. There are also many apps that are a waste of virtual space and will only need to be deleted later.

If you don't have unlimited texting on your phone plan, you need to be careful how many messages you send. Go to Settings and the Message and enable the character count. After about 160 characters in a text message, the message becomes split into two texts. This can help you avoid sending multiple texts by accident.

If there's any smartphone you should be using, it's the iPhone. The iPhone is a top of the line smartphone that has many features that set it apart from the rest of the smartphones on the market. After reading this article, it should be clear to see that the iPhone is number one when it comes to smartphones.
