Ultimate iPhone Tricks

These are some of the best  tips we have found to get the most out of your iPhone

1.       Shortcut to your Favorites

Your  Favorites are your frequently called Contacts.  To get to them quickly, just double press the Home button and you will be presented with your Favorite Contact list.

2.       Use a Scientific Calculator

The iPhone has a simple calculator in portrait mode, however if you flick the phone into landscape you get a Scientific Calculator!  Very cool!

3.       Grab a Screen Shot of your iPhone

This is one of our favourites, but how often have you wanted to take a snapshot of your screen and send to someone?  Just hold down the Home button and press the power button at the same time.  Your screen shot will be saved in your Camera Roll which you can then use to e-mail a friend, or use the screen shot as wallpaper

4.       Create Shortcuts to your Favourite Websites

If you have some favourite sites you like to go to in Safari, rather than typing them into the Address Bar each time,  just press the + key and tap Add to Home Screen.  You can then go direct to it from a link on your Home screen which will save you a heap of time

5.       Control your contacts

You can move up and down your Contact list by selecting either the letter or flicking up and down the contact list.  An easier and more manageable way is to hold your finger down on the letters and move up and down. 

6.       Save an Image in Safari

To save an image from Safari, just press and hold the image.  You will be prompted to save the image which will be put into your Camera Roll. 

7.       Double Space for a Full Stop

Instead of pressing the 123 button to get to the full stop key whilst typing, just press the space bar quickly for a full stop.  It will automatically re-space everything as well.

8.       Switch between Home Screens

Instead of using your finger to swipe between screens, just tap on the bottom right hand corner above the docking bar.  To back, tap the left hand corner.

9.       Set Parental Controls

If your iPhone is used by kids or other colleagues, you can block certain applications from running or disallow explicit content or the purchase of apps through iTunes.

10.   Do a Hard Reset of your iPhone

Sometimes you may find your iPhone  stops responding or your iphone freezes.   To do a hard reset, just hold down the Home button and press the power button together for about 8 seconds.   You will then be prompted to power off your phone.
