Advice And Tips For Getting The Most From Your IPhone

By Airiel Bermudez


The Apple iPhone has been popular for some time. You may not realize why that is, until you have an iPhone of your own. The iPhone is a wonderful way for you to communicate with others, but it does so much more. Here are just a few tricks and tips to unlock all of the magic in your new iPhone.

You probably spend a lot of time reading scrollable content on your iPhone, but you might not know about this feature. When you've scrolled down on a page, you can return to the top simply by tapping your phone's status bar. This can be very helpful, and once you're familiar with the feature, you may find yourself using it all the time.

If you need to get back up to the top of a page, there is no need to use the scroll bar to slowly make your way up a long web page or email. Simply tap the bar at the top with the clock and you will be right back where you started. This is a simple shortcut that can save you time.

Rid yourself of an extra gadget by using your iPhone's built-in scientific calculator. To do so, launch the phone's standard calculator app and rotate your phone sideways, which will bring up the scientific calculator. There are numerous other specialty calculator apps available in the App Store, as well, including graphing calculators.

Do you need to mark an important email for later? Tap it and choose 'mark as unread'. This email will then appear as a new message. This is a good way to remind yourself to check an email again, for instance, if you need to download an attached file or call a phone number later.

Do you need to create folders to organize your emails? IPhones do not support this feature, but you can use your IMAP email account to create folders. Access your IMAP server and create different folders. Save your emails in the different folders you created: this should help you keep track of your important messages.

You're going to need to switch between punctuation keys and the alphabet keys, and you would like to know how to do this much more quickly. Press the ?123 key, but then don't let up your finger as the actual punctuation layout shows up. Slide your finger over to the comma key, release, and you will see the ABC layout appear automatically.

If you happen to get the iphone wet, the last thing you want to do is turn it on. By turning it on you run the risk of short circuiting the product. Instead, you should towel dry it and then put it into a Ziploc bag. After that place it in a bowl of uncooked rice and let it sit there until the moisture dries up.

The iPhone is a great tool for so many different things. You can listen to music, get applications that make your life easier, and call your friends and family. The tips in this article are just the tip of the iceberg. Use them to get more familiar with your phone, and then find out what else you can learn.
