Everything You Want To Know About Your Iphone

By Amiel Nalda


The iPhone is one of the best smartphones available right now. The phone can perform standard functions that many of us have become used to, such as making phone calls and taking pictures. The phone can also do so much more if you let it. To get more from your iPhone, read the following article.

You probably already know you can set audio alerts on your iPhone. Did you realize you could have a visual alert, too? Go to Accessibility in the General section of Settings. You will see "LED Flash for Alerts." Switch that to on, and your LED light will flash when you have an alert.

A terrific way to get even greater use out of your iPhone is to take advantage of its photographic shooting and editing capabilities. By customizing the camera interface and utilizing one or or more of the professional-quality editing applications available, you may find that you no longer need to carry a conventional digital camera.

If your iphone freezes completely you do have options for getting it going again. First, you can take out the battery and then replace it and give it a try after that. If that does not work you can hold down the start and menu buttons at the same time for at least 10 seconds to get it to reboot.

Sometimes you want to see all of your appointments and notifications on your iPhone at once. You can do this quickly with one gesture. Just take your finger, start at the top of your screen and swipe down. This will give you all your info for the day at a glance.

Switching your phone to airplane mode when you are traveling, or in an area where you can't receive calls or texts will help to save your battery life. Having to find and remain in contact with the nearest towers uses up a ton of battery. Switch to airplane mode in the setting's section of your phone and keep your batter for when you actually need it.

A great iphone tip to prevent you from losing it is to sign up using the find my iphone app, which is free. This is an excellent app because if you ever should lose your phone, it will help you find it on a map, either on the computer or on any other IOS device. Once you use this app you can set it to give off a loud ring to let you know where it is located.

Control your iPhone music without going to your music app by simply sliding your app bar once to the right. There you'll be treated to a mini music control system that includes play and pause, next and previous buttons. You can even get quick access to whatever app is currently playing music in the same area.

These are just a few of the wonderful things you can do with your phone. Developers are trying new things every day, so you will have even more to do in the days to come. Use the tips you've just read to really get the most from your new iPhone, and you will look like an old pro.
