If you want to take a screenshot or print screen on your iPhone, you can do this by simultaneously touching the sleep and home buttons, which will store the image in your photos.

Do you want to extend your battery life? There are a few different things you can do to get the most out of your battery life. One thing you can do is turn down the brightness. Also, turn off any wireless radios when you are not using them. This can give you more battery life.

Would you like to have a quicker way to get to your search bar on your iPhone? You can do this by first tapping on your home key. Then tap again right away. This will load the Spotlight search bar. That is a universal search bar for your whole iPhone.

Do you need to look up a restaurant or a doctor's office number? Open Safari and do a local search. Safari should recognize phone numbers and allow you to tap on them. If you do so, your iPhone will dial the number. This also works for numbers sent via emails.

Do you need to be able to fast forward or rewind music and video? If you press and hold the skip button, this is a much more effective way of doing so instead of just pressing the skip button. You can get to any frame of the video or part of the song that you need to in no time at all.

If you are working in one app and want to return to an app you were previously using, take advantage of app switcher. App switcher is accessed when you tap twice on the home button. You will see all of your recently opened apps, and can easily switch from one to the other.

One of the ways that you can personalize your iPhone is to change the wallpaper in the front and main screens on your iPhone. You can select from existing wallpapers that Apple creates or chooses from your camera roll, where you will be able to choose from the photos that you have saved..

Did you know that you can replace the default icons with others that you would prefer? All you have to do is choose an icon that you do not use very often, then click on it to bring it up. Click on "edit" and you will see your options. Pick an icon you prefer and hold it down, or click and drag.

Your iPhone makes a great storage device. Use it to store pictures, videos and contacts. This can simplify your life and help you to get rid of numerous other gadgets, instead focusing on only one. The iPhone has a good amount of storage space, and additional apps also allow you to increase that space if necessary.

Don't panic if your iphone gets wet. Phones sometimes slip out of pockets and into puddles or sinks. If this happens to you, don't use a blow dryer to try to dry your phone off as quickly as possible. This could force moisture deeper into the phone. Instead, try leaving your phone in a bag of uncooked rice overnight.

Customize the background of your phone. You can make your wallpaper for every page different, or have one wallpaper for your entire background. This is fun to do, and it makes your phone feel a lot more personal to you. Try this out and show your friends and family, they'll be envious about how much you can customize your phone.

If you find an image on the internet that you like or someone sends you an image, you can save this by tapping and holding down your finger on that image and then saving it. This is beneficial as it allows you to instantly save images for your convenience while you are browsing.

Take full advantage of the video function in the camera section of the iPhone. This allows you to take high-quality videos of up to a minute long into your phone. When you are completed with your video, you can go to the photographs section and replay or send the video to a friend.

Download the Safari application so that you can have maximum use of your phone. In addition to many other features it offers, Safari allows a user to call a contact without going back to the phone feature. For example, if you find a theater, you want to call online just click on the number, and it will call it for you.

There are timers when your iPhone may have an issue with an application like any computer would. This can easily be solved by force quitting it. To do this on your phone, press and hold your Home button for about six seconds. This will cause it to quit the problematic application quickly.
