Most people would like to have an iPhone and use it to their advantage. There are quite a few things that you need to know in order to do this.

Keep reading for a better understanding of the iPhone and how it can improve your life.

For a time-saving tip for email and texting, make AutoText shortcuts for words and phrases you type often on the iPhone. This can help with email addresses and phrases that are used often like "Where are you?" or "On my way." You can find this shortcut by looking under your device's keyboard settings.

If your iPhone is lost or stolen, the Find My iPhone application, which is free, can help you find your phone on a map. You do have to sign up for this app in advance, however. If your phone is near you but you're not sure where, you can have the phone ring or display a message. If you fear that your phone was stolen, you can remotely lock your phone or wipe all of the data.

Do not get panicked if your iPhone freezes on you. Your first step should be to press and hold the Home button or the Sleep button. If that fails try pressing the home button on your iPhone along with the sleep/wake button. This will walk you through restarting your phone.

Your iPhone's calander can be a great tool. Use it directly to add meetings and reminders instead of using the plus button. First, change into "Day" view. Next, you can simply tap and hold any hour; a new event will automatically be created in that specific time. The quicker you can schedule things, the less time you'll have to waste on it.

Your iPhone can be used to quickly pull up current weather conditions and a six-day forecast. Simply swipe left or right from the home screen. You can access the Weather app easily by tapping the weather bar on the Notifications screen.

Syncing your iPhone with the time system on your computer is a useful tactic. You can see important notifications right from your device rather than having to boot up your computer. It is important to regularly synchronize the two so that your information is always up to date.

Your iPhone does not bode well to temperature variations. For example, if you work at a place in which you go into refrigerated or frozen lockers, you should be sure not to bring your phone with you. This can cause water to form within your phone.

Do you tend to text the same few people frequently? If so, consider adding each of these numbers to your favorites. Through the favorite list or the recent call list, you can easily text people or place a call as needed. For an even quicker way to communicate, select the arrow beside your contact and just pick the text message feature. You also have the ability to view your missed calls in this area.

As you can tell from the simple tips in the article above, you can learn what you need to know about the iPhone. Now it's time to go out and buy one. Take what you have learned and you will be very happy!
