Don't Understand Your Iphone? These Tips Can Help!

By Clint Vicente


Now that you just your first iphone you are probably wondering what in the world is an app. Every day we're bombarded by all these messages that say download this app and that app. But what exactly is an iphone app? The article below offers some great tips and information that will explain to you how to get the most out of this app.

You will want to restart your electronic device on a semi-regular basis. Giving it this little reboot from time to time helps to keep all your apps, programs and other functions running smoothly and properly. To do this, just turn off your phone, leave off for 30 seconds or more and then restart the device.

Take photos with the headphone cord of your device. The volume buttons, both up and down can now be used on many iPhones to snap photos. This way you can steady your hand and press the cord button to snap the photo. Doing it this way means you do not shake the camera and frame for a crisper picture.

If you accidentally drop it into water, do not proceed to turn it on! This can cause permanent damage to your phone because it will be short-circuited. Instead, you should use a towel to lightly dry it. Never use a hairdryer because this can push the moisture into the dry areas. Keep your phone in a bag or bowl of uncooked white rice overnight. If you do this, you have a better chance of reviving your phone.

The ability to buy Kindle books right from your iPhone's Kindle app was a casualty in a recent Apple-Amazon battle. Don't worry, you can still use your gadget to purchase books without resorting to a computer. Just use Safari to navigate to Amazon and purchase your next read the same way you would on your home computer. Remember to select your iPhone in the "send to" menu!

Use itunes to download any media features that you would like to use on your iphone. Downloading from other sources can put your phone at risk of crashing, but you can trust anything that you download directly from itunes, so be sure to only use itunes for all of your media needs.

Now, you can easily obtain word definitions with this impressive gadget. There is a built-in dictionary that can be accessed through most apps. All you do is press and hold on any word you want, and a pop-up option that says "Define" will be on the screen. You can get the definition of any words, including the words on your emails, reminders, etc.

Use it to read books. Just like a Kindle or an Ipad, the iphone has the capability to allow you to read e-books. Again, like the other options, you will likely have to pay for some of them, but fortunately, you can store them on this gadget as well, so they will be yours forever.

As stated before in the introduction, this impressive device is one of the most power packed phones available for purchase. The phone has so much potential thanks to everything that was programmed and built into it, but you have to use all of these abilities to get the most out of it.
