Iphone Tips: Useful Features That You May Have Missed

There are new applications being released every day for your iPhone. There are probably dozens that could help simplify your life, if you knew how to use them. The following tips will help you learn how to get the most from your iPhone.

Update your phone when new updates are out. Keeping your phone updated will ensure that it is loaded with the latest options and software patches. That also requires you to save images and critical data to your computer. This way, should something occur with your phone you are going to have a backup.

You may want to opt for a larger keyboard to make surfing the Internet easier. However, you do not have to purchase a larger keyboard. Put the iPhone to the side and in Safari, tap on the address bar. You will now have a keyboard that is bigger and much easier-to-use.

Siri allows you to set reminders based on your location. Instead of saying "Siri, remind me to call work at five." But you can also ask Siri to remind you when you get home. The phone will know when you are at home, and it will give you a reminder to call the office. This is a great way for you to set reminders during the course of the day.

Buy yourself a screen protector. Without a screen protector, your phone will be more vulnerable to scratches, scrapes and nicks. Even a tiny bit of dirt on the fingertip or keys in your pocket will scratch the screen. Always keep your phone protected with a screen protector.

You do not have to hit the "X" button at the end of each word that the AutoCorrect feature is trying to correct for you. The screen can be tapped at any location as an alternative. This is the fastest way of closing the suggestion box.

If you want to multiply, subtract or add something really quick, use the calculator component found in the iPhone's utilities section. The calculator has a standard form, which appears when the phone is vertical, as well as a scientific version that appears when the phone is rotated into a horizontal position.

If there's anyone you know who has an iPhone, probably you have seen how some have the technology blow their minds, whether for better or for worse. Using the suggestions you have just read, you can begin to get the most out of your iPhone.
