Learning The Ins And Outs Of The IPhone
iPhones are becoming more and more popular. This amazing little device has single-handedly revolutionized personal communications in the modern world. As the proud owner of a new iPhone, you should know how to use all the best bells and whistles. This article is packed with tips to help you learn to navigate your iPhone’s features and functions.
You do not have to be concerned about losing an iPhone anymore. Mapping software comes with your iPhone so that you can immediately start pinpointing locations without having to worry about adding an app. Should you need to get home, or somewhere new, this feature is the key.
To make browsing the web on your iPhone a little easier, get a bigger keyboard! You do not have to purchase a larger keyboard for this to happen. Instead, you can simply turn your iPhone clockwise 90 degrees, then lightly tap the URL bar in Safari. The keyboard instantly becomes larger and far more easy to use.
It is now possible for Siri to let your program a location-based reminder. It used to be that reminders needed to be worded using a specific time, for example “Siri, remind me at five to call work.” You now say “Siri, please remind me when I arrive home to phone work.” The phone will know when you are at home, and it will give you a reminder to call the office. You can easily set a reminder if you’re not sure when you’re getting back home.
When used properly, the iPhone is a useful navigational tool. Whenever you’re attempting to obtain directions somewhere or find stores located along the way, the map portion of the phone can be utilized as a GPS. For quick access, bookmark the map function.
The “X” button is not needed after each AutoCorrect suggestion. All you need to do is press the screen, anywhere. That closes the box for you, a much faster solution.
With the iPhone, you can make up your own dictionary and shortcuts. Your dictionary makes it easier to say what you want. You can program your phone with your own short cut phrases. The keyboard automatically corrects your typing as you go.
People new to the iPhone culture are amazed by everything that can be done with the phone. But many people who are new to iPhones only have an inkling of what their device can do. Try out the suggestions presented above and you may well turn your iPhone into an even more effective tool (or toy!) than it was when it came out of the box.
