Do You Really Know All The Ins And Outs Of Your IPhone?

Restored from the Empower Network archive (2011–2017), lightly edited to meet our current advertising standards. Views are the original author’s.

The iPhone is a useful and convenient device. From a phone to an entertainment device and a personal organizer, an iPhone offers many uses. This means there are a multitude of ways to use the iPhone to the best advantage in your life. Try the following tips to help you maximize all the device can do for you.

What If Your IPhone Freezes

If you are sick of typing “www.” You also can skip “.com” as long as Google is set as the default selection for your search engine. In Google, just type the title of the page without the address beginning and ending, and it will take you to the correct site. If your phone freezes, do not panic. Your first step should be to press and hold the Home button or the Sleep button. Then, try pressing Wake/Sleep and Home at the same time. This does a hard reset on your phone and will restart it after a little while. When you experience a freezing of the screen on your iPhone, hold down the Home button for about 5 seconds. A reboot should occur. If this does not work, press the power button and “home” button for 12 seconds. Only try the second method when the first one isn’t working.

Your IPhone Needs a Ringtone and Music

Change the ringtone of your iPhone to a tune you like. This will keep you from feeling like one of the crowd when your phone rings. It’s simple to upload a favorite song or sound byte that entices you. That will turn heads when your iPhone rings. When listening to music on your iPhone, you can change the icons displayed at the bottom of the screen. Just tap ‘settings’ and then choose to ‘add more icons’. Now you can choose from a variety of icons, then use them to access all of your favorite albums, genres, artists and songs.

Whenever you drop your iPhone into water, which is very possible to eventually happen, do not turn it on immediately to see if it is okay. Dry off the phone and let it sit overnight. Turning on a wet phone is likely to short-circuit it, ruining it permanently.

How Did You Set Up Your Text And Sound On Your IPhone

Don’t waste time using suggested words when typing on an iPhone. If you need to type a note or email and you’re tired of suggestions, tap anywhere on the screen to make the suggestion box vanish. Now you do not have to press ‘x’ every time. Change the sounds on your phone so you can hear clicking when typing. These clicks help you know that the phone is picking up every tap you make, helping you lessen your mistakes.

Try to avoid filling your iPhone up with too many movies. A single movie can take up more than 1 GB of space. Having more than one movie can take up so much space that it could cause your iPhone to function improperly. You may also find that some of your applications fail to work properly.

By now you should realize that the many features of the iPhone make it more than a simple phone. However, your iPhone can do even more for you than you might be aware of. Apply those tips, and you’ll be ready to be an iPhone power user.
