IPhone Tips For Beginners And Advanced Users

By Roger Grabillo


Anywhere you go nowadays, you are sure to see someone on their iPhone. But, why is this device so popular? The answer is that there are so many positives to having one. The following article is going to explain to you why it is in your best interest to own an iPhone.

Don't scribble that phone number you searched for onto a scrap of paper. If you locate a number in Safari that you would like to call, there is no need to use the regular dialer. Just tap on the phone number, instead, and the phone will call it automatically.

If you use Safari to browse the Internet on your iPhone, try this trick for typing in a new URL. Instead of actually typing out ".com", you can hold down the ".com" button. As you hold the button down, it will scroll through the most popular website extensions, including .org, .net and .edu.

The iPhone makes it so easy to send messages that you might be tempted to invest a little effort into formatting. Fortunately, a little effort is all it takes. Like many of the other keys on the on-screen keyboard, the punctuation keys will give you a lot of great options (like straight or curly quotation marks) if you press and hold them.

Organize your applications in the order that you would like them to appear. Some applications you will use more often than others, so to make your phone work for you, drag the icons around to suit your needs. The more time you take now to get it organized, the even greater amount of time you will save in the long run.

To help you get cool new ringtones for your iphone, there are plenty of apps available for free where you can customize a ringtone. Having a customized ringtone is neat and it is something you will easily recognize when your phone rings. So, to make your phone unique to you, make yourself a customized ringtone.

Even if you do not plan to use your iPhone for awhile, you should store it with a dead battery. Allow your phone to fully charge each time it is put on the charger instead of letting it run down. Otherwise, you run the risk of adversely affecting the chemical composition of the battery, possibly damaging the phone.

Go to Settings and then Message to enable to the word counter option. If you do not have unlimited texting, this feature will tell you how many characters your texts are as you type them. Going past 160 characters typically counts as two text messages and eats up your allotment faster.

Take full advantage of the video function in the camera section of the iPhone. This allows you to take high-quality videos of up to a minute long into your phone. When you are completed with your video, you can go to the photographs section and replay or send the video to a friend.

If you accidently get your iPhone wet, there is hope! First, do not push the power button; this may cause additional damage. Dry off the phone as much as possible and then put it in a bowl with uncooked rice. Allow it to sit for at least 12 hours. This should help the phone dry out and allow you to use it again.

In conclusion, people all over can be seen on an iPhone. This is because an iPhone can be used to your advantage in so many ways. Now that you have read this article, you probably have a better understanding of why it is in your best interest to own an iPhone.
