A lot of people are realizing that the iphone is much more than a device you use to make calls and send texts with. Iphones play a crucial part in solving day to day challenges in life. With applications such as maps, and the accessibility to the internet nothing is beyond your grasp.

If your iPhone freezes up, and you can’t seem to get it to work, try mashing both the home and the sleep buttons simultaneously. After that, follow the instructions on the screen. This will bring your device back to life, although it will take a few minutes as the iPhone closes down and then comes back on.

Download and sign up with the Find My iPhone app. This invaluable application can help you locate your iPhone in the event that it is lost or stolen. This app not only allows you to display a message on the screen or cause the phone to ring extra-loud, but it allows you to wipe data or lock your phone from a remote location.

To set restrictions on your phone, simply go to “General,” and then “Restrictions.” Put in a four number password that you can remember. You might want restrictions, particularly if you are a parent and want to restrict certain applications for your kids, and putting in this passcode will help you to do that.

The iPhone uses diction. This helps because you don’t have to type. You can enable this by tapping the microphone button on your phone and talking into it. When you are done, hit the stop button and it automatically types what you say. You can also use this feature to update your status on social-networking sites.

With the iPhone you can quickly take pictures on your phone. Once you slide to unlock the phone, hit the camera app on the lock screen and open it up to use the camera. This feature makes it easy to quickly take pictures and never miss out on a memory.

There is a simple way to delete a lot of text when typing on your iPhone. Start by holding down the delete key. It starts to delete words letter-by-letter and then it will start deleting word-by-word. Holding down this button will help you delete everything on the screen much quicker.

As you can see, iphones offer you a variety of additional services for you to use. Get your first iphone as soon as possible, and see how much your life changes in a short amount of time. You’d be surprised as to how uncomfortable life feels with an iphone after you do.
