With the thousands of applications the iphone has to offer, anyone in the family can have fun with this phone. The features of this phone will entertain both the young and the old. Read on to learn about the iPhone’s many features.

TIP! You can use your iPhone to send valued pictures to all of your friends and/or family. There are two main ways to do this.

When you make AutoText shortcuts for commonly typed phrases, you can cut down the amount of time you spend emailing and texting on your iphone. This feature can handle cumbersome email address, along with common phrases like “Where are you?” or “On my way.” You can find this shortcut by looking under your device’s keyboard settings.

TIP! Use caution with the connector cord because they can be easily damaged. When it is time to disconnect the power cord, do it gently.

While the iphone tries to make web browsing simple and painless, it can be a chore to try to navigate to the beginning of a page, especially if it is long. You should not have to! Tap the bar on the top of the page and it will bring you to where you started. This works on apps and other pages with long screens.

TIP! Are you interested in having different, unique iPhone alert tones? If so, then alert tones can be easily customized by doing this. Go to Sounds under the Settings section.

It’s often tough to navigate a webpage properly on your iphone if it includes windows nested inside the main page. Thanks to inadvertent finger placement, you might end up scrolling the main page up or down instead of the window. If you’re having trouble getting off the main webpage on a site using your iphone, zooming in before you attempt to scroll through a smaller window can be helpful. Use two fingers and move them away from each other to achieve this.

TIP! A great communication tool for the iPhone is FaceTime. You can actually see who you are speaking with as you talk.

Save time while typing by double tapping the space bar when your sentence is complete. A period followed by a space will be automatically placed at the end of your sentence. This eliminates the step of shifting to your “123″ keypad.

TIP! The app called “Find My iPhone” can help you find your phone on a map if you ever lose it. In order to take advantage of this app, though, you will have to download it and register your phone ahead of time.

Tapping “cancel” allows you to save a draft of a message that you intend to finish later. A window will pop up asking what you’d like to do–Save, Don’t Save, or Cancel. By selecting Save, the message will go into Drafts. If your iphone does not already have a folder designated for Drafts, going this route will set one up for you.

TIP! Connect your phone to any time management systems you have on your computer. You can see important notifications right from your device rather than having to boot up your computer.

When you own an iphone, it’s hard to ever be truly lost. The map application that is included in your phone’s software will allow you to see your location anywhere that you have service. This can help you find your way if you are lost or take a wrong turn.

TIP! As you probably know, you can set reminders to start at certain times. However, you can also create reminders that are location-based! You could tell the phone to remind you to go to a certain location when you leave another.

Incoming messages are previewed on the iphone lock screen by default. The may seem convenient to you or it may not be what you want at all. If you are among those who find it bothersome, you can disable it. Simply go to the Notifications section of your settings menu and choose messages. You want to disable the “Show Preview” feature.

TIP! There are three ways to scroll on your iPhone. You can tap one letter, go through the whole list, or press slightly to get to the list.
