iPhone Tips

If you are a breathing human being, you must be aware of the popular iphone. This simple device has changed the way people perceive the mobile phone. If you already own an iphone, or even if you are just thinking of buying one, this article can help you get to know the device better.

TIP! Add a cool ringtone to make your iPhone personalized. There is nothing more dull than a phone that has the same ringtone as every other phone.

Use rice to dry out a wet iphone. Dropping your phone in a puddle, the toilet or another wet location is almost inevitable. Dry your iphone with a towel as well as possible, then seal it in a bag that has dry rice in it. Then dry it out overnight, or at the bare minimum for several hours.

TIP! Word shortcuts can be set on your iPhone. Go to settings – general – keyboard – add new shortcut.

Has a good opportunity to take a picture passed you by because you couldn’t get to the camera app quickly enough? Here’s a quick, easy shortcut to help prevent this problem. Tap your Home button two times quickly if your screen is locked. Look for the camera icon at the screen bottom. Press the button and your camera is ready to go.

TIP! Check out your Weather app if you are trying to find a weather report that shows hourly forecasts. It is not commonly known that it is possible to click on your local area’s weather information and receive an hourly forecast that spans the following 12 hours.

Do you have several programs running in the background on your iphone that you need to shut down? This you can swiftly accomplish after finding and tapping the home key. Once you locate the app you want to close, keep your finger there. The icon will begin wiggle, and when this happens, a red minus sign will appear; then, you just tap it and the app will close.

TIP! Make navigation easier with your iPhone. Use the map as GPS when you want definite directions, or when trying to find gas stations or grocery stores en route.

The iphone makes checking the weather easy by giving you access to the 6-day forecast, as well as the current weather conditions with a quick swipe of your phone to the right or left. You can also easily access the weather app just by tapping the weather bar when you’re on the notifications screen.

TIP! Maximize your iPhone’s utility by using the various multimedia capabilities. Some of these include downloading television episodes or different comedy clips from websites.

If you are someone that places a high value on privacy, think twice before using Siri. Apple stores all Siri voice prompts on their internal servers. They do this to help the programs’ speech recognition, and to try to keep these files secure, but everything you say to Siri might get recorded.

TIP! You may find that you are getting interrupted by a notification when you are trying to work on your iPhone. Chances are you’ll want to ignore the notice and finish your task.

If you are accessing the web on you iphone, do not worry about using the “.com” portion of the website address. The phone will recognize the website when you type in its main name. This is a simple, straightforward trick, but the time it saves you will really add up.

TIP! When using Safari, you do not have to type the “.com”, saving you extra time.

The iphone connection cord is very fragile as you should handle it with care. Gently pull the cord from any power outlets or USB ports. Your cord will last approximately a year with proper care.

TIP! You can turn your favorite website in an app. First, navigate to the site.

In its default setting, your iphone will highlight incoming messages on its lock screen. You may enjoy this feature, or you may find it annoying. If you prefer not to use this feature, you can disable it easily. Access settings, select “notifications” and then enter the “messages” option. Here you have the option to turn the Show Preview setting to OFF.

TIP! Whenever you are not using your iPhone, you should maintain a dark screen. The brightness of your screen directly relates to how long your phone stays powered.

After reading the tips above, you are better informed on how to use your iphone. Use these tips and see how all the features can simplify your life. You will appreciate your iphone so much more when you understand all the many functions!
