iPhone Tips and Tricks

  • People who have iPhones may not be aware of some handy shortcuts on the devices which can speed-up common tasks and make using the devices much easier. Here I am going to share my top three shortcuts. First, if you are reading something which requires vertical scrolling (such as a webpage or email message) you can easily scroll back to the top of the content by double-tapping the status bar at the top of the screen (i.e. the bar containing the clock and battery indicator). Second, in some situations when typing on the iPhone keyboard you may need a special letter, such as an accented letter. By tapping and holding a particular letter on the iPhone keyboard, a small menu will appear with variants of that letter. Likewise, if you are typing a web address and the “.com” button is present on the keyboard, you can tap and hold to reveal other variants (such as .net, .edu, and .org). Finally, if you are listening to music on the iPhones iPod function, you can tap the album artwork on the iPod screen to open the advanced options, allowing you to fast forward, rewind, see the remaining time on the song and also setup repeat or shuffle modes.

Hi there. If this is the first time you are posting a comment it will not appear immediately, but needs to be approved. This is necessary in order to combat comment spam. However, once you have submitted a comment (which is subsequently approved) you do not need to go through this process again - the site remembers who you are and auto-approves your comments. Nifty eh? Anyway, sorry about the inconvenience that this may cause for your first comment post.
