Forgotten iPhone Tricks and Tips

We use the iPhone all the time, there are many tips that could save us time that we forget about all the time. Whether a beginning iPhone user or a long-time iPhone fanatic, here a few tips that you may not know about that could enhance your iPhone experience.


Simple internet browsing in Safari
With the safari internet browser, it is easier to navigate websites than many give the browser credit for. Remember AOL keywords? Safari works similarly, it is called domain resolution. With domain resolution, you don’t need to waste seconds every time you type a web address. For instance, next time you want to visit a website on iPhone’s Safari browser, leave out the “www.” And the “.com” and you will still be able to view the site you were looking for. Just make sure Google is your default search engine and not Yahoo.
Similarly, another tip we seem to often forget is that we get options for the domain suffix (the part after the name of the site’s domain) by holding down the “.com” button. By sliding the finger to “.net, .edu or .org” keys we can quicly convey to the browser which site we’re interested in viewing.


Fast-forward or rewind music and videos.

The standard screen for playing music or videos includes three buttons at the bottom: skip back, pause, and skip forward. To rewind or fast-forward, simply hold down one of the skip buttons in the direction that you would like to go. Also, pressing the album art on a music track is another way to fast-forward or rewind on the iPhone.

Home button tricks
Many may not be aware that the home button is used for more than returning to the home screen or waking the iPhone up from sleep. Actually, there are a few things you can do by double clicking the home button.
If the phone is sleeping or is locked, double-tapping the home button will allow the user to bring up the play, pause, skip, and volume iPod controls above the lock screen. By going to Settings -> General -> Home Button one should see a menu with three options for double-clicking the Home Button: Go to Phone Favorites (favorite contacts), iPod controls, or bring up the home screen. This is helpful because if iPod controls are requested while running any app, the app is not interrupted, the iPod Controls are simply brought to the foreground for manipulation.
Saving Images
I caught someone trying to capture images in their email, and their inefficient method just begged for this obvious solution. When capturing images, some will capture a screenshot, then open the image in an editor to crop out unwanted imagery. Instead, simply touch and hold an image in Safari or in Mail, and an action sheet will pop up asking if the image should be saved.
In conclusion
While these tips and tricks are not entirely unknown, they are easily overlooked and could be costing us precious time daily. Some will find this list rather remedial, but there may be something here that hasn’t been looked at for some time. Hope this helps. If not, then congratulations on being an expert iPhone user!
