There are new applications being released every day for your iPhone. There are probably dozens that could help simplify your life, if you knew how to use them. This article will give you many tips and techniques on how you can use the apps in your daily life.
To dry an iPhone that's wet, use rice. It is fairly common to drop an iPhone and get it wet. Use a paper towel to wipe the phone, then place it in a rice packed bag. Use this as an alternative to a hair dryer. When you wake up in the morning, it ought to be dried out.
On Safari, you can save images from Safari or Mail very easily if you know how to do it. Find the image you want, touch and hold. A screen should pop up and ask you to either save the image, or cancel.
If you are writing anything on the iPhone and do not want to use the predictive text feature, the suggestion box can be dismissed without touching the "X." Instead, tap your screen anywhere, and instantly, the box will vanish.
Choose a distinct ringtone. This will keep your phone from sounding just like everyone else's, especially if they use the ringtones that come with the phone. You could use your favorite song or another sound you find enjoyable. People's heads will turn when your phone rings.
You probably know that you can use your iPhone to create time-based reminders, like "Remind me to go to the post office at 3 P.M." In addition to these reminders you also have the ability to set up location-based reminders. You might ask your iPhone to remind you to swing by the post office after you pick up the kids. The iPhone can help you remember all sorts of events.
You can capture a photo with one hand when using your device. All you have to do is get the image into focus as you would like and then tap the button to increase the volume. There's no difference in the picture's quality than if you had taken it normally.
While the iPhone tries to make web browsing simple and painless, it can be a chore to try to navigate to the beginning of a page, especially if it is long. There's no need to! 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 all long screens, especially one like iTunes.
Has the screen on your iPhone ever frozen? Use the Sleep/Wake button as the first remedy. If this doesn't work, then try pressing the sleep and home button at the same time. That will reset your phone, but then it will power up again in just moments.
Word shortcuts can be set on your iPhone. In your setting menu, navigate to General/Keyboard/Add New Shortcut. This can help you add shortcuts to phrases and words you commonly use by inputting acronyms or abbreviations. When you type in the shortcuts, your iPhone will insert the words or phrases for you.
You do not have to put up with the preset voice on your device. First, locate Siri under the General Settings screen. Under your Siri settings, you have the option of changing the language that Siri speaks to English, French, or German. You can also change Siri's English dialect to reflect either British or Australian usage. In fact, the British version of Siri has a male voice.
Using an iPhone can be an engrossing, or even transformative experience. You probably already know this even if you haven't used one yourself. The solid tips in the article above show you how you can use the technology more quickly and effectively every day.
