Get The Most From Your New IPhone With These Helpful Tips

By Jefferson Asis


Have you been wanting to get an iphone but are scared that you won't understand how to use this latest piece of technology? Well don't be afraid because there is a wealth of information available online and in articles such as this that will get you up to speed on this latest technology.

A great tip if you own an iphone is to start sending out emails straight from your iphone. The great thing about having the iphone is that you have access to the internet and you can easily access your email to send and receive messages so that you're always in the loop.

Apple has made it super easy to get definitions for words. Whenever you see a word, you want to get a definition for, whether it's in an email, a text message, or on the internet, you can press on the word for a second or two, and a little pop-up will come up where you can select define.

Would you like an easy way to take a picture of your phone's current screen? Try this! Press the home and sleep buttons at the same time, and wait for the sound of a camera clicking. Then, head over to your saved photos. You should see an image of your screen in the folder.

Did you know that iPhones can take screenshots just like a computer can? In order for you to take a screenshot from your iPhone, hold down your phone's home button and afterwards press the Sleep button. You'll then hear a camera click, see a flash, and then a screenshot of your iPhone will be saved in your Camera Roll.

Just because you're browsing the web on your iPhone, you don't have to be any less of a discriminating browser than you are on your home computer. You can check out Safari links before you open them by pressing and holding on them. This will bring up a menu that lets you copy the link or open it in a new page. More importantly, it'll show you the URL the link leads to.

Customize more than the ringtones for each number and person in your contact list. Newer iPhones can have specific vibration patterns for particular people calling in. Hearing and vision-impaired users can even have brightly flashing alerts for specific incoming calls from those they do not want to miss out talking to.

Take screenshots of websites or apps that you want to have later. Just tap the Sleep button while you are holding down the Home button. Doing so creates a screenshot of whatever you are currently viewing so that you can retrieve it from your Camera Roll later on in the day or week.

Consider purchasing an external battery pack for your iPhone. These can be very useful if your battery life runs low, and you are not near a charger. They can prolong the usable time that your phone offers you and makes it easier to tend to important things, like finances or emails, that many individuals use their iPhones for.

Use rice to help your wet iPhone. If you have found that your phone has gotten water all over it, the best solution is to set it in a bag full of rice. Rice will draw out the water and absorb it, hopefully allowing water to leave your phone in a way that you can still use it.

Now that you have read this article you have probably realized that your phone is even better than you ever thought. Now just take the information that you learned about your iphone to use so that your iphone can make your busy life easier than you had ever imagined before.
