Iphone: How To Use It To Its Potential

By Jerson Miralles


With new technology comes the opportunity and necessity to learn new skills. An iPhone can make your life much easier and a little more fun, but only if you know how to use it. Below are some tips and advice compiled to help you become the master of your iPhone.

One of the great benefits of an iPhone is the ability to use Facetime, which you should fully take advantage of. This function allows you to see your friend or family member in video on the other side of the phone. This helps to personalize your conversations so that they are more profound and fun.

Customize your iPhone sounds. Apple has finally added the possibility of selecting your own sounds and noises for alarms, alerts and incoming calls. Check out all the options in the Sounds menu. Or, go to the Buy More Tunes option for access to the iTunes marketplace for more sounds you can browse and buy.

Surf the web at all time with the iphone. Now you can always have access to the internet when you upgrade to an iphone. You do not have to leave a question unanswered any longer. You have access to the world wide web and the answer to all your questions at all times.

There are many myths about how you are supposed to handle an iPhone falling into water. The largest one is using a hairdryer to dry the phone. Instead of drying out all the water that has gotten on the phone, doing this will only serve to push water further into the phone.

Hold your home button for six or more seconds to exit any app. Apps sometimes have a tendency to freeze. Don't lose your patience and start dismantling the phone in some frustrated attempt to shut the entire thing off. Just hold down your home button. This will force your iphone to exit the app.

Take videos right on your phone and remember all the events that happened clearly. Videos are always fun to look back at, and now with your phone you have the ability to take videos whenever you want. The videos are top quality picture and lets you get the most out of your memories.

Save a wet iPhone with white rice! If you are unfortunate enough to drop your beloved iPhone in the toilet or a puddle, all is not lost. Do not turn the phone on. Dry it with a towel. Then, place the phone inside a zippered freezer bag filled with uncooked white rice. The next morning, there is a good chance your previously wet iPhone will work again.

You can quickly erase text without even touching your iPhone screen. Using a quick flick of the wrist, shake the phone one time to your left and back. A window will pop up to request confirmation to delete the recently typed text. Click it and the most-recent text will be immediately erased.

You can check where links will take you to by slightly pressing on them instead of tapping. This is the equivalent of hovering your mouse over an element displayed by your computer; you will see more information about the links you touched. Always check links you receive in your emails, especially if you do not know the sender.

If your iphone freezes completely you do have options for getting it going again. First, you can take out the battery and then replace it and give it a try after that. If that does not work you can hold down the start and menu buttons at the same time for at least 10 seconds to get it to reboot.

At least once a month, charge your iPhone battery to 100% capacity and drain it fully. This is how you calibrate the battery, and doing it regularly will help to prolong your battery life. This tip is one of the primary pieces of advice offered at the Apple website for keeping your battery life healthy.

If you have Siri on your latest generation iphone, remember that you need to speak simply, clearly and slowly. If you speak too fast, in a deep accent or mumble your words, she won't be able to understand you, and you'll end up being frustrated. Try to learn the words that she recognizes easily so that you have an easier time using her.

Would you like a quick and efficient way to delete emails on your iPhone? It is simple with this quick technique. Just swipe across an email with your finger, and you can delete it. If it is a Gmail account, you can adjust the settings so this swipe archives the message instead of deleting it.

It is easy to understand why the iPhone is one of the most popular devices on the market. Having read this article, you can better understand why you made the decision to get an iPhone. Keep learning all you can. You have so much you can do, you might need more hours in the day.
