Only you know how to best use it for your lifestyle. This article discusses some useful tips for getting the most out of using your iPhone.

If you want to save an email or a text without sending it, tap on cancel. A box inquiring whether you wish to save, cancel or not save the message draft will appear. The message will be moved tot he Drafts folder when it is saved. If you have no Drafts folder, your phone will make one when you make that choice.

You can make a phone call with one tap while using Safari. For example, you may want to find a local dry cleaner. When you find a number, you don't have to go back to the phone menu to call. Just tap on the number and you will be instantly connected to the business you want to contact.

Be gentle with your iPhone cord as they have shown to be delicate. If you have to disconnect it from a power outlet or USB port, make sure you do it gently. Your cord will last approximately a year with proper care.

Purchasing an iPhone case could potentially save your phone. You can actually shatter the glass on the iPhone's front if you drop it without proper protection. Although the case is not a guarantee that nothing will happen to the device, it certainly helps.

You can gain access to your iPod controls through your favorites. Go to the settings on your phone, then go to general, and finally go to the home button. Then you can double click and customize, choosing whatever you would like. This is a pretty straightforward process when following step by step.

There are a lot of great features that are on your iPhone straight out of the box, like a full dictionary. You can use this tool in pretty much any app. You just need to tap and hold any word you want to learn more about, and select "Define," which will be one of the available options shown.

Remember to update the phone as updates become available. This means that your phone will always have what it needs to function properly. 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.
