With all of the unique apps that an iPhone can provide there is something for everyone to use and enjoy. Kids and senior citizens alike will discover applications that thrill and entertain. Read on to learn about the iPhone's many features.

Try to refrain from downloading a large amount of movies on your device. Each movie on your phone uses approximately 1 gigabyte of memory. Having multiples can cause problems when loading websites. Therefore, reduce the amount of movies that you have stored for optimal functionality.

Not only can you take photos using your iPhone's volume buttons, you can also take photos with the buttons on your iPhone headphones. Whenever you are taking it, your hand should be kept as steady as possible. Whenever you're ready, hit the button located on the cord. This can help to avoid any movement of the phone and decrease the chances for a blurry picture.

You can see both a six-day weather forecast and your current conditions with a swipe of your finger. The Weather app can also be accessed by tapping the weather bar while on the notifications screen.

Do you hate all of the notifications that come into your iPhone? Here is a tip on how to turn them off. Click on settings and tap notifications. Look at your apps under "In Notification Center" to remove any you don't want. As a bonus, this will increase battery life.

Use your iPhone to help you navigate from place to place. If you try the map feature with the GPS when searching for directions, you can locate the best route to your destination and even find gas or shops along the way. Bookmark the map for ease of use.

You can take screenshots with your iPhone. Whenever you're on a screen you want to snap, hold down the Sleep and Home buttons simultaneously. The screen will briefly flash white, indicating that the screenshot was successful.

Favorites and different Ipod controls are easily accessible on the iPhone for your convenience. From the Setting menu, go to General, and then Home. You are then able to customize by double clicking and then selecting which options you would like to customize. This process is fairly easy if you follow all the steps.

If you are writing something and wish not to use the iPhone's suggested words, forget about using the "x" to get rid of them. You can eliminate the box by simply tapping at any spot on the screen.

Jazz up your iPhone with new sound effects. Apple gives you the ability to add in many unique tones depending on your preference. Simply scroll on the Sounds menu to purchase new sounds anytime you want and add them to your tones.

Should your iPhone fall in water, wait before trying to turn it on. Take the time to dry the phone off as much as you possibly can, even leaving it overnight to dry. If you turn the phone on while the internal components are wet, you can short circuit the device.

It can be touchy to navigate small windows on websites. You may find your self scrolling through the main webpage instead. If you find this to be difficult, zoom in on the smaller window before attempting to scroll. Then, use two fingers to scroll, rather than just one.

Take the tutorials offered by Apple if you want to get the most out of your iPhone. They are a great way to learn, step-by-step, the ins and outs of the iPhone. Using the tutorials when you need an answer will help you customize the phone to your needs.

Your iPhone has the capability of showing previews of incoming messages when your screen is locked. Some people like this, but others don't. If this annoys you, you should know that you can turn this feature off. In your Settings, navigate to the "messages" option that is found in your "notifications." You can then disable the Show Preview feature.

Now that you've reached the end of this article, you are aware of some of the ways that your iPhone can make your life easier. Put the valuable information you have garnered here to good use and let the iPhone help manage, entertain and inform you in the many ways it was designed to do.
