IPhone Tips Every Savvy Consumer Should Know

It seems as if almost everyone has an iPhone nowadays. However, many people are not aware of all the ways it can be used. You aren't alone if you don't think you're getting everything you can out of an iPhone. You can turn your iPhone into the powerhouse it's supposed to be by using the handy advice presented below.

You can use the settings to make the iPhone visually indicate when you have an incoming call or message. The LED flash of the iPhone's camera can be used to notify you silently. Simply visit the "settings" area, go to "general", then select "accessibility." Activate LED Flash Alerts.

Using your iPhone to its fullest means mastering all of its quirks and tricks; one of the best is removing unwanted email by simply swiping your finger. When in the incoming mailbox, swiping a finger over a message causes a delete option to appear.

You probably know very well that you can get rid of your iPhone's word suggestions when you're composing text by hitting the "X" in the suggestion box, but there's a faster way to do it, too. You can eliminate the box by simply tapping at any spot on the screen.

You can take screenshots whenever you want with your device. Quickly hold the home button and the power button at the same time. Don't press them too long, because if you hold them down for a while, you'll get other effects. When you do this, your phone will take a picture of your screen and will send it straight to your images folder.

You can use your iPhone to send valued pictures to all of your friends and/or family. There are two different ways you can achieve this. First, save your image and add as an email attachment, or you can upload it to your application on Facebook so everyone can see.

Your iPhone has the capability to take screenshots. Simply, find the screen you want a shot of and hold down your "home" button as you click your "sleep" button. Seeing the whole screen go white tells you that the screenshot is taken and stored away.

Be careful to avoid exposing the iPhone to extremely hot or cold temperatures. For instance, if you enter refrigerators or freezers at work, leave your phone somewhere with a steadier climate. Condensation forms in a phone if the temperature drops too low.

If the iPhone is wet, dry it with rice. Phones are commonly dropped in water from puddles or toilets. Use a paper towel to wipe the phone, then place it in a rice packed bag. Use this as an alternative to a hair dryer. Let it dry overnight.

You can use the phone's volume buttons for operating the camera, as well as the headphone cord. Most headphones contain a button you can press to take a photograph. The phone isn't shaken when you do this and your photos will look good.

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. When you hold your calculator vertical it is standard, but when horizontal it shifts into a scientific calculator.

Are you looking for a way to shut down multiple background programs? You can close them by first double-clicking the home button. Locate the specific app that needs to be closed and simply press it and hold. After the icon shakes, press the minus icon to shut down the app.

Do a hard reboot if your phone is not responding to the Sleep and Wake button. Hold the Sleep/Wake key while pressing on the Home key at the same time. The phone will then shut down and restart as a signal that everything went well.

Iphones are pricey, but they are like a handheld computer. As the owner of an iPhone, you already know that it can be an extremely beneficial tool. Apply the tips you just read, download more apps and explore your iPhone to become more familiar with it.
