TIP! Purchase a protective screen for your iPhone. Without one, you’ll find that your iPhone screen will be subject to a lot of tiny scratches and minor nicks.

There are so many features on the iphone that it can be easy to overlook one that might benefit you. If you believe you have not yet maximized your iphone experience, keep reading.

TIP! Invest in an app that lets you upload documents and files onto your iPhone like a normal storage device. This makes uploading videos, pictures, music and text files much easier.

If you get a larger keyboard, browsing the web with your iphone will be a little easier. The iphone has a bigger keyboard already built in. Rotate the iphone sideways, tap the address bar within Safari, and voila! You now will have a bigger keyboard that makes typing easier and faster.

TIP! Use multimedia to maximize your iPhone’s capabilities. Your iPhone can become an entertainment hub just by downloading TV episode or online clips that you love.

You don’t need to add “.com” when typing web addresses into your iphone. Simply type in the main portion of the address. Your web browser will understand what you are saying and will put you on the right site. That may seem like a little thing, but over time that is a great deal of time saved.

TIP! To get your messages, tag email accounts on the iPhone. It’s frequently convenient to view emails as they come into your inbox rather than waiting to view all the emails you receive during the day.

The Siri app will now allow you to set reminders based on location. Rather than asking Siri to tell you to do something at noon, you have another option. So instead of having Siri remind you to call somewhere at 6 p.m., you can instead have her remind you when you get home. When your iphone knows you are home, it will give you the reminder. That way, you get your reminder no matter what time you get home.

TIP! When browsing the web on your iPhone, experiment with both one and two fingered scrolling. If there are different windows on a webpage, scroll with one finger to look through separate windows with ease.

On Safari, you can save images from Safari or Mail very easily if you know how to do it. Simply touch the picture and hold for a couple seconds. You will see a box with options for the image.

TIP! Most people who own iPhones are well aware of the picture-taking possibilities the phone has to offer. But the camera roll, where the photos are kept, can be a much more confusing endeavor.

You can take photos with the cord from your headphones. To start, frame the picture you wish to take. When you are ready to take the photograph, press on the cord’s button. This can help you take a steadier, clearer photo. Save the picture as you normally would.

TIP! Whenever you’re using your iPhone, you can take a quick screenshot. Once you have selected the screen you would like a screenshot of, push down on your “home” button and make sure to click the “sleep” button the same time.

Use this tip to send text messages more quickly. Dismiss any auto-correct suggestions while texting by tapping the screen anywhere. It is not necessary to actually touch the small “x” that is located next to the word.

TIP! Make sure your iPhone is using the latest updates. Given the complexity of the phone and operating system, these updates may contain security patches, bug fixes and other important tweaks to boost functionality.

You can easily set up your email on your iphone so that it is simple to retrieve your messages. You will receive notifications every time a message is in your email’s inbox. The iphone has the capability to give you instant access to all of your email accounts.

TIP! A great way to save a lot of time when playing with your iPhone is to set custom shortcuts for AutoText. This feature is a great help when it comes to lengthy email addresses and basic phrases such as “How are you” and “See you soon”.

Scroll with either one finger or two when you read a webpage on your iphone. If the webpage has more than one box, using one finger allows you to scroll just one box. Two fingers will help you easily scroll the entire page.

TIP! Make your iPhone better by choosing a custom ringtone. Don’t stick with the default tone like most people do.

If you want to multiply, subtract or add something really quick, use the calculator component found in the iPhone’s utilities section. The iphone calculator also offers additional functionality for more complex mathematics: Simply tilt your phone sideways and the everyday calculator shifts into scientific mode.

TIP! If you’ve just dropped you phone in water, make sure you don’t turn it on. Dry the outside of your phone and allow the rest of the phone to dry overnight.

Beware of talking to Siri too much on your iphone, if you care about your privacy. Siri quickly records and stores all of your important voice prompts on an internally hosted server. These files are stored in a secure location and are used for improving speech recognition, but it is good to be aware that your prompts may be recorded.

Save Images

TIP! Taking pictures is very easy and practical when using your iPhone. Do this by simply getting the frame how you desire it, and press the button that says + volume.

The Safari web browser on your phone acts just like a web browser on a desktop. It even allows you to save images from the web. If you would like to save a picture, tap and hold on it. You can save images to the Camera Roll on your phone. You can also insert the image into an email if you like.

TIP! Cut down the time you spend typing things on your iPhone. Add shortcuts on your keyboard by going to your keyboard settings.

The iphone can enable your life to run a bit smoother, but it only helps if you know how to use it. Try putting the tips you have read here to use with your iphone and start getting more value and enjoyment out of it!
