July 22, 2012 by  

It can be a curse and a blessing to own an iphone. There is so much an iphone can do. There are so many features built in and you can get even more from apps. Keep reading to find out how to more efficiently use the amazing iphone functions and options available to you.

TIP! The command for marking an email unread is hidden on the iPhone. Open ‘Details’ and click on ‘unread’.

Any website you frequently visit can be turned into an app. First, simply visit the site. Once you have the website up, give the “GO” button a tap. Here, you’ll see the choice to add the website as an icon on your home screen. Once the shortcut is there, you can name it whatever you want.

TIP! The camera of the iPhone can take some pretty marvelous pictures. The built-in camera on your iPhone enables you to take many pictures.

Scrolling through smaller windows through the browser of your iphone can be difficult. You might end up scrolling around the main site instead. Zooming in close to the window might help you avoid this problem. After this, go through the list with two fingers rather than one.

TIP! Any wireless radio functions not in use should be disabled. Despite the fact that you are not currently using these applications and wireless functions, if they are open they are draining the battery life of your iPhone.

It is quite easy to get rid of the word suggestion box as you are typing an e-mail or note on the iphone without using the “X” function. You can actually tap your finger anywhere within the screen to dismiss the box.

TIP! There’s a quick shortcut to take you back to the beginning of a long web page after you’ve scrolled down through it. Just touch status bar, found in grey on your screen on top, and it will instantly take you back to the page on top as well as address bar.

If you have been reading a long block of text and want to jump back to the start, don’t take very long to scroll. All you need to do is tap the status area up top and you be taken immediately to the top.

TIP! Update your phone when new updates are out. When you update your phone, you will have the latest bug fixes, patches and options to keep your phone running well.

You can do nearly everything that you can do on your home computer due to the Safari browser that iphone uses. If you find an image you want to preserve on your phone, simply tap it and hold it. One of the options on the menu that appears when you do this is to send the picture straight to the Camera Roll on your iphone. After saving, you can insert this right into a text message.

TIP! You can use Siri to give you reminders based on your location. Rather than asking Siri to tell you to do something at noon, you have another option.

Hourly Weather

TIP! If you find that Siri’s voice is a bit annoying to you, you do have choices. First, find Siri in your phone’s General Settings section.

If you are looking for an hourly weather report on your iphone, look no further than your Weather app. Some people may not be aware that a tap on the day listing opens an hourly breakdown of weather conditions. Siri will also relay the hourly weather breakdown for you, too.

TIP! Take some time to experiment and play around with your new iPhone. The more time you spend playing with the features, the better you will understand how to use it.

You may want to buy an app to manage your battery. One of these apps will tell you when your battery use is the highest and how to make changes to extend the life of your battery. They will also notify you about calibration, which is an important part of caring for your battery.

TIP! You can take a screenshot when you want with your iPhone. To take a screenshot, press down on the power and home buttons at the same time.

If you have an iphone, you should have a basic idea of all the things it has to offer. However, it is hard to take advantage of them all if you don’t have all the information. Apply the information learned to utilize your iphone to its fullest.

TIP! Take care that you don’t fill your iPhone up with movies. A full movie uses up about a gigabyte of storage space.
