Check Out These Fantastic Iphone Tricks That Are Really Simple

By Angelica Samson


Do you own an iphone but, feel like you are not getting the full use of your device? Do you see other people interacting with their iphones more effectively? If this sounds like you, you can learn about your iphone and different ways to maximize your usage of it, starting today.

While bluetooth is a useful addition for smart phones, it can be a power waster. If the phone's bluetooth settings are left active, the phone will constantly search for signals that are within range and use power in the process. To prevent this, disable the bluetooth option in the setting's menu.

It's always frustrating when a poorly-designed app turns your iPhone into a very expensive paperweight. You can quickly regain control of your phone in these situations. All you need to do is press the Home button and hold it for at least six seconds. This will force-quit whatever application is running and let you use your iPhone again.

If you don't want anyone else to look through your phone you can lock it. All you have to do is change this feature in the settings, and then input a four digit passcode. This will make it so that only people who know this passcode will have access to your phone.

Did you know you can choose URL domains faster on your iPhone in Safari than on a computer? The dot com portion of addresses is not required. So, if you want to go to Yahoo.com, you only have to put in Yahoo. There are easily accessible shortcuts for you .org and other alternatives.

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.

You can dramatically increase the utility of the Maps app on your iPhone by using the "drop pin" feature to set your own landmarks. All you need to do is tap a location on the map screen and hold it until the pin appears. This is a great way to quickly store locations you'll need to find again.

As you can see, iphones offer you a variety of additional services for you to use. Get your first iphone as soon as possible, and see how much your life changes in a short amount of time. You'd be surprised as to how uncomfortable life feels with an iphone after you do.
