iPhone Tricks and Tips

Anybody who has an iphone can say that it is easy to use. Yet they still need iphone tricks and tips so they can further indulge in their wonderful iphones. From taking an iphone screen shot to the ipod timer, everybody needs help with a little something. Apple isn’t perfect, so they don’t add things like how to move iphone apps, or about how you have the ability of reseting iphone. No, none of this is shown, but today I will let you in on some iphone tricks and tips.

First things first, we need to get the basic or most needed iphone tricks and tips. I think the most important one is to learn about reseting iphone. Don’t get me wrong, iphones are amazing, but they too have some difficulties once in a while. Reseting iphone is as easy as one two three, or abc. All you must do is press and hold that round home button, and also at the same time press and hold the sleep button at the top. Hold these two for about 5 seconds, and you are on your way to reseting iphones around the world.

The next one of my iphone tricks and tips is to take an iphone screen shot. All this means is that the iphone is basically taking a picture of well, its screen. Taking an iphone screen shot comes in handy when you want to take a picture of a high score, or something on the web so you can show your friends and family your iphone screen shot. Maybe even share it on face book or flickr. This tip is only one of many iphone tricks and tips I am going to be going over in this post.

This next trick in my set of iphone tricks and tips I feel is one of the most important trick of all. This tip is to move iphone apps around on your iphone’s pages. Some of you may already know how to do this. But for those who don’t know how to move iphone apps around, read on. The process to move iphone apps around is very simple. All you must do is tap and hold one iphone app. Hold the app for about two to three seconds, and all your iphone apps should start jiggling. To move iphone apps, all you do is hold down on one of the jiggling apps, and drag it to the spot you want it to be at. You can also do this on your computer with itunes 9 or higher. When you are done doing the process to move iphone apps, just tap the home button and you are done. Congradulations! You have learned how to move iphone apps! You are on your way to learning many new and useful iphone tricks and tips.

Next in my iphone tricks and tips, is iphone texting tips. This is a series of iphone tricks and tips about texting and or typing. My first iphone texting tip is about adding a period the simple way. To do this, you might already have it set, but if not go to your settings -> general -> keyboard and then enable, turn on, “.” shortcut. Once you do this, you just double press the space bar while texting and it will insert a period and start off with capitalization to start a new sentence. The next one of my iphone texting tips is emoji. Emoji, if you haven’t heard of it already, is a free app in the apple app store, is icons that are of smiley faces, signs, and other itmes like cars or buildings. To turn these on, go to the app store, and download emoji icons free, and then go to your keyboard settings then click on international keyboards. Scroll down until you get to Japanese, click on Japanese. Then enable, turn on, Emoji. Now, when in your keyboard, just press on the globe icon, and you will get thousands of icons. One more thing, don’t buy the paid version of the emoji app. The free version has all the same stuff in it as the paid version does.

The next one of my iphone texting tips, is a tip only used in the safari application. This one is about using the .com button. Say you have a website that isn’t a .com website, instead it’s a .org . Well, there is a shortcut just like the .com, so you don’t have to type it in yourself. All you have to do is hold down the .com key, and in about 1 second, it will pop up a list of other website endings like .org, .gov, or .net . Just keep hold ing the button and drag your finger over the one you want. My next and final of my iphone texting tips is just something I think is very cool. This tip is just something that is not thought of very often. If you hold down on one of the keys they get bigger. This isn’t really a trick or a tip, I just think it’s something people don’t think of very often. Now, it’s onto the last one of my iphone tricks and tips.

To end off this post I decided I should teach you something that none of my other friends know of. This is one of my favorite iphone tricks and tips. This trick is the ipod timer. Have you ever listened to your ipod at night, and fallen asleep? Then when you wake up, your iphone’s battery is drained? Well, I have had that problem too, and when I found the ipod timer setting I loved it. To set your ipod timer all you have to do is go into your clock app, then set a timer. Below where you set the timer, it says when timer ends, and it usually says play marimba or whatever music you play. Well if you click on it, it gives you a list of ring tones, but at the top it says sleep ipod. Click on that, set your time, and wallah! You have your ipod timer. This is a set of all my iphone tricks and tips. Please leave a comment on anything I have missed. Thanks!
