Auto lock is one of the iPhone's best power saving features. The auto lock feature turns off the phone's screen when it is not in use, allowing it to save battery power. The auto lock feature can be adjusted to an idle period of up to five minutes, and will greatly reduce wasted power.

When you are typing a text message on the iPhone, you can select the whole body of text by holding down your finger on the sentence for approximately three seconds and clicking select all. This will give you the ability to delete or copy the whole set of text that you have selected.

Did you know that iPhones can take screenshots just like a computer can? In order for you to take a screenshot from your iPhone, hold down your phone's home button and afterwards press the Sleep button. You'll then hear a camera click, see a flash, and then a screenshot of your iPhone will be saved in your Camera Roll.

If you use your iPhone as a listening device for your favorite mp3s, use this trick. To randomly shuffle to another song, simply shake the phone gently with a flick of your wrist. This is perfect for those who prefer to listen but don't want to stop and take the time to select another song.

If you want your iPhone to continue functioning properly, it is important to never leave it in your car for even a short amount of time. Inside a car, hot temperatures are magnified due to the greenhouse effect. High temperatures can damage your iPhone. Exposing your device to cold temperatures is equally damaging to your phone's components.

When in a call with someone, take advantage of the mute button. The mute button is located on the top left when you are in a call and will prevent the person on the other end of the line from hearing your voice. If you need to talk to someone else while on the phone, this is a great time to use this function.

Have you ever wanted to create a playlist when you're not at your computer? Well, now you can Open the music app and click the "Add Playlist" button. You can then give it a name. After that, you'll be able to click on individual songs, albums, or artists to add them to your new playlist.

If you travel with kids a lot, an iPhone can be beneficial to you. You can easily install a few games on it to keep your kids occupied on long car trips, or even just while waiting in line at the grocery store. This can help keep them happy and out of your hair.

Is your iPhone frozen? Hold down the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button at the same time. Wait until it gives you the option to shut it down. Swipe the screen to shut your phone down. Once it powers down, turn it back on. This will reset the phone and generally fixes any problem you may have with your freezing.

As stated in the above article, there is so much to learn about the iphone that oftentimes it becomes so overwhelming to learn about all the new technology. Now that you just learned a few simple tips and tricks, you should be up to speed some on how make your iphone usage much easier.
