The Best Kept Secrets About The Iphone

Do you want to load your iPhone with the latest apps, but have no idea where to find them or how to do it? If you are unsure of how to do certain things on your iPhone or wish you could change some settings, read these useful iPhone tips and start optimizing your iPhone.

Though many people use their iPhone for surfing the web or email, many are not aware of how easy saving images from these can be. The images in these apps can be saved by simply touching them and holding down your finger for a short amount of time. A box pops up after this period of time prompting you to save any image on your iPhone.


Have you ever missed out on the perfect shot because you couldn't bring up the camera app fast enough? Try this easy idea. Tap your home button two times in quick succession to pull up the camera icon. There will a little camera icon in the bottom right hand corner. Push it and your camera will function right away.

For a quick way to add, subtract or multiply, don't forget that calculator function on your iPhone; it's located in your phone's utilities section. You can use it easily in the usual vertical position or turn your phone horizontally for a sleek scientific calculator look.

The iPhone, as well as other smartphones, can notify you when calls or messages are received. For a more stealthy notification, you can set the LED to blink, flash, and sometimes even go different colors. Use the menu for Settings, then General, then Accessibility. Activate LED Flash Alerts.

When using Safari, you do not have to type the ".com", saving you extra time. For instance, if you wish to visit Amazon.com, you only need to type "Amazon" into the address bar to be directed right to the site.

Setting alerts and reminders is very easy; use this feature for your appointments and other obligations. Also, you can set reminders that are based on locations as well. As an example, you are able to say, "I need to call the dentist when I get home." The iPhone is truly a useful device and is capable of using many different kinds of reminders.

Taking a photo with the iPhone is so simple, you can do it with just one hand. Just frame your picture and tap the volume button marked "+". There's no difference in the resulting picture's quality when you take it this way.

Access Facebook from your iPhone. Although some people are already aware of the iPhone's Facebook app, others do not know how easy it is to use Facebook on an iPhone.

To type with greater efficiency, establish shortcuts on the iPhone. In "Settings", go to "General", "Keyboard", then "Add New Shortcut". You can use acronyms and abbreviations as shortcuts for words and phrases that you use often. If you type in these shortcuts, the phrases and words will be input automatically.
