Don't Understand Your Iphone? These Tips Can Help

By Johnrey Fusio


Everyone wants a fancy new iphone nowadays but most people have no idea of how this new technology works. The great thing about this phone is all the apps that are available and the article below will get you up to speed on what is an app, and how they can better serve you.

If you are using Safari on your iPhone, it is rather easy to make your keyboard larger. Prior to tapping on the address bar, just turn your iPhone horizontally. This automatically makes Safari go into horizontal mode, which is what makes the keyboard so much larger. To revert back to a normal keyboard, turn the phone back to normal.

To conserve battery life, lower the display brightness of your screen. You only need a bright screen in dimly lit situations, so lower it during the day or anytime you will not be using the phone for some time. This is a great way to conserve battery life and avoid having to charge your phone so often.

Create your own ringtones for a truly personalized phone. The Ringtone Maker app is free of charge to use. You can make ringtones from you favorite clips of songs. Doing so is possible within seconds, and you can choose tunes appropriate to each person or number you assign each ringtone to.

Use your iphone to stream movies to your television. There are plenty of ways to stream movies. Many of them are expensive. If you already own an iphone, you can actually sync it to your television. Using your iphone, you can then stream movies or shows from the internet, directly to your television.

If your iPhone has frozen and pushing down on the Sleep/Wake button is not working, there is another option. Just press and hold down both the Home button and Sleep/Wake button at once. Then, you will see a message telling you to "Slide to power off". Go ahead and do just that. When you restart the phone, it should work just fine!

If you type extensively on your iPhone, consider investing in an external keyboard. There are many wireless models available. They make typing documents, emails and other similar things easier. Some keyboards can even serve a dual purpose, as you can use them with your iPad as well as your iPhone.

Get updates sent to your phone about your favorite sports teams at all times. You can subscribe to different emailing services, or applications that will update you on scores, statistics, and final results when one of your favorite teams is playing on a given day. These applications are perfect for people who want to stay updated on their current teams, but who don't have the time to watch every game.

Check out all of your stocks and how the market is doing in the stocks section of your iPhone. This section allows you to look at how the Dow Jones is doing at the current time in addition to a timeline of its performance and different articles for quick access to the market.

If you called someone and do not remember their number or when you called them, click the "recents" button in the phone section. This button will not only give you a list of your recent calls and their times, but also allow you to delete these call logs or check your missed calls.

Make sure to set a password for your iPhone to prevent any unauthorized people from getting access to your information. If you lose your phone, no one will be able to see anything you have saved to your phone. This is particularly useful if you have a habit of leaving your phone unattended while others are around.

If your iphone gets wet, it may not be ruined. Gently towel dry the device. Do not turn it on or use heat or wind to dry it out. Instead, place it in a baggie with some white rice, and leave it for several hours. The rice will absorb any moisture that is inside your iphone.

Now that you read the information from above, you should be aware of what an app does and how it can make using your iphone much simpler. Take what you learned here, and use it to get yourself some useful apps that will make using your iphone much easier. Now all you need to do is start downloading those apps!
