Whenever you hear people talk about smartphones, there's one name that comes up more than any name, the iPhone. Many consider the iPhone to be the pinnacle of smartphones, but few use the phone to its full potential. If you want to use your iPhone for all it's worth, then keep reading for some useful tips.

When texting on your iPhone, you can speed up the process by learning the shortcut for periods. Rather than clicking on the "123" button to bring up the punctuation screen, you can double tap on the space bar. This will automatically insert a period and a space in your message.

When in your iPhone mail, it is simple to save a copy of a picture that you might want to view later. Just touch the image for a few seconds and it will be saved to your stored pictures. You can then access it at any time if you want to view it again, post it on the web or forward it to a friend.

If you called someone and do not remember their number or when you called them, click the "recents" button in the phone section. This button will not only give you a list of your recent calls and their times, but also allow you to delete these call logs or check your missed calls.

If you have dropped your IPhone in water, use rice to try and dry it out and get it working again. Remove the battery and place the IPhone in a sealed container of dry, uncooked rice. Cover the phone completely with the rice and seal the container. Keep the phone in the rice for at least a day before trying to use it again.

A great tip for using your iphone is to put some of your favorite music on there and use it as an mp3 player. Instead of carrying around a phone and an mp3 player, you basically have the total package if you own an iphone because you can also listen to music on one.

To set restrictions on your phone, simply go to "General," and then "Restrictions." Put in a four number password that you can remember. You might want restrictions, particularly if you are a parent and want to restrict certain applications for your kids, and putting in this passcode will help you to do that.

Hold your home button for six or more seconds to exit any app. Apps sometimes have a tendency to freeze. Don't lose your patience and start dismantling the phone in some frustrated attempt to shut the entire thing off. Just hold down your home button. This will force your iphone to exit the app.

If your iPhone uses iOS4 and up, you can use it as a wireless router. First, access General Settings, then locate the Network button. From this screen, simply tap Set Up Personal Hotspot. You will be asked to confirm the change by your service provider. Now you can connect your iPod, computer or other device to your iPhone's wireless connection.

Stay updated with the latest news by downloading news applications. Now you don't have an excuse as to why you aren't updated with current events. The iphone allows you to stay current with what is going on in the world with the various news applications it has available on it.

As stated before, the iPhone is one of the most highly regarded smartphones in existence. The phone has so many useful features, but not many people know how to use the full power of the iPhone. Now you can thanks to the tips from this article. If you don't have an iPhone, get one today and unleash it's power.
