IPhone: More Than Just A Cell Phone

By Arnold Miranda


These days, it seems as if everyone has a smartphone. One of the most popular brands of smartphone is Apple's iPhone. With these devices, there are any number of amazing things you can do to make your life easier. The following tips will help you get the most from your iPhone.

To increase your storage space on your iPhone, take advantage of iCloud. This will only take you a few minutes to set up, and it can triple or quadruple the amount of space that is made available. This is especially useful if you store a lot of photographs or a big music library on your phone.

If you have locked yourself out of your phone, you should look online for ways to fix it. Many people have had this happen to them as well, so there are videos and other tutorials on how to unlock an iphone online. Just be aware that this is a last resort, as it will likely delete all of your information when you reset it.

If your iPhone freezes and the Sleep/Wake button does not work, do not worry. There is another option. Try pressing and holding on the Home Button and the Sleep/Wake button instantaneously. Then, you'll be notified to slide the tab that will turn off your phone. This type of hard-reset can revive your frozen iPhone.

Use your iphone to read books. Just like a Kindle or an Ipad, the iphone has the capability to allow you to read e-books. Again, like the other options, you will likely have to pay for some of them, but fortunately, you can store them on your iphone as well, so they will be yours forever.

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.

Check out the weather right on your iphone. If you are unsure what the day might bring, or the week, then you can check out the weather application to see what the weather forecast is. This way you are always dressed appropriate for the upcoming weather every day of the week.

To get the most from Siri, use this tip to assign nicknames and relationships for each of your contacts. For example, you can tell Siri, "Jane Johnson is my mother." Siri will then request confirmation to link this information to Jane's contact number. Now, you can tell Siri to "Call Mom," and she will automatically bring up your mother's phone number.

If your iPhone has frozen and pushing down on the Sleep/Wake button is not working, there is another option. Just press and hold down both the Home button and Sleep/Wake button at once. Then, you will see a message telling you to "Slide to power off". Go ahead and do just that. When you restart the phone, it should work just fine!

Even if you know a fair amount about your iPhone, there is always something new to learn about this powerful device. By using an iPhone, you can make any number of tasks go more smoothly. Just use the tips and techniques you have learned from this article to make your iPhone work for you.
