It doesn't take you very long with an iPhone to figure out that it can do a lot more than an ordinary phone, but fully exploring its features requires a little bit of time and learning. This article will provide you with some handy tips that you can use to get even more out of your iPhone.
As soon as any new updates are available, you should immediately update your phone. This ensures that you get the latest software and updates available for your phone. That also requires you to save images and critical data to your computer. This way, should something occur with your phone you are going to have a backup.
You can take pictures with your headphone cord as well. Press the button located on the headphone cord while keeping a steady hand. Using this method keeps your phone steady, ensuring a clear shot.
You can use Siri to set reminders linked to locations. You don't have to tell Siri to remind you to do an action at a specific time. Now, you can simply say "when I arrive home" instead of specifying a time. Then the phone will tell you to call up your work when it detects that you are home. That way, you get your reminder no matter what time you get home.
When used properly, the iPhone is a useful navigational tool. When you are trying to find a certain location, you can use the map function on your iPhone. You can bookmark this map function so that you can easily access it at any moment.
You can turn your favorite website in an app. Open the website on your phone's browser. When you get there, tap the "Go" button. Doing so means you have the chance to add a shortcut to this website to the home screen of your iPhone. Once its on your home screen, it can be re-named and made into an app of your making.
You can download an app to allow your iPhone to upload files and save them as a storage option. It is easy to grab text files, videos, music and photos. Just open them up on your iPhone, or you can plug your phone into a computer.
Looking for a way to add special characters like an umlaut or accented letter to your texts? Here's how to get that accomplished. Touch the letter you'd like to see more options for, and hold down for a few seconds. You'll see a box appear that contains many extra key choices. You can then use as many fancy symbols as you need.
There are a lot of multimedia capabilities that you can use when you are playing with your iPhone. It's no trouble at all to download video clips from the Internet or even whole TV shows to your phone, putting a little miniaturized entertainment center in your pocket wherever you go.
No matter how much you do with your iPhone currently, there are almost certainly new ways that you can use it. Just make sure you remember every tip you learned so you can apply them all.
