By Charesse Diaz


Do you own an iphone but, feel like you are not getting the full use of your device? Do you see other people interacting with their iphones more effectively? If this sounds like you, you can learn about your iphone and different ways to maximize your usage of it, starting today.

If you use your iPhone to store huge numbers of contacts, songs, email and websites, you may find it time-consuming to scroll from the end of the list to the beginning. Save time by double-tapping the clock icon at the top of the screen. This will immediately take you to the very top of the list.

Make calls directly from your browser. If you are using your iPhone to look up information and would like to place a call to a number you find, it is not necessary to exit Safari to dial. Simply click on the number, and the phone will dial the number for you.

Before putting your iPhone to sleep, press the home button. This ensures that all apps are turned off, and it saves you battery life in the process. If you simply put the phone to sleep without pressing home, you may have some apps running in the background and reduce your battery life.

Sometimes your iPhone gets flummoxed by the position you're holding it in and switches back and forth from portrait to landscape over and over. You don't have to shift position to counteract this problem. You can easily lock your iPhone into portrait-only mode. Just open the Home menu and swipe the recent app list from left to right. This gets you to the music controls, but the last icon in the list is the screen orientation lock.

Research various iphone applications on your own online. There are so many applications available that you definitely have never heard of them all. If you have an idea of what you would like your iphone to do for you, just look around online to see if there is an application for it, there likely is.

If you use your iPhone to send number-heavy (prices, quantities, phone numbers) texts, use this simple trick to quickly switch from letters to numbers. Instead of tapping the '123' button followed by the 'ABC' button, just tap and hold down the '123' key. Immediately, after you type in the numbers, the keyboard will revert back into an alphabet mode.

If you happen to lose your iPhone, finding it is very simple. Once you realize the phone is missing, use the "Find my iPhone" feature to find it on a map and to secure the data you have stored. You can even have a message pop up on the phone's screen!

When typing a URL in your iPhone's Safari browser, you can hold down the ".com" button at the bottom of the keyboard to bring up a list that contains other domain suffixes. To choose one, just glide your finger over them and release when the appropriate suffix is highlighted.

If you get your iPhone wet, do not use a hair dryer to try and save it. In doing so, you are just pushing the moisture further down into the device. You can actually do more damage to your phone this way, as the water can short-circuit the deeper circuitry.

If you are always missing the best photos due to too many iPhone button pushes to get to the camera, get used to accessing the camera via the iPhone's lock screen. Simply slide your finger up on the camera icon and your photo application will immediately open. No more five button pushes and wasted seconds!

You can use an application on the iphone that shows you your pace during your run workouts. You can keep track of your pace with this application and determine if you are making any real progress or not. Try this application out and let it push you to get the most out of your workouts.

These suggestions are just the beginning to using your iphone. Try them out, and use those that work best for you. An iphone is an expensive investment, you should get as much use from it as possible. Try these tips and you will begin to grow your knowledge base and enjoy your iphone.
