Old flip phones have always had that one advantage over all smart phones. You can quickly call a specific person with a single touch. No fuss or headaches. Now, with Apple’s Workflow App, you can set up a button on your home screen to call a specific person. Just one touch!
Over time, no matter the capacity of your iPhone, you will eventually need to free up space, and sometimes you’ll need to do so quickly. I’ll go over the best 3 ways to do so quickly and effectively.
With iOS 8 comes a whole new way to use your apps. Some third party apps (apps made by people other than Apple) now work with your notifications center, which means, you can quickly access more content from a wide variety of apps just by swiping down from the top-most part of your screen.
Unless you’re flying a lot for whatever reasons, you may not be using Airplane mode on your iPhone that often. But did you know there are other reasons for its usefulness? This is especially important lately due to the FAA relaxing restrictions on the use of electronic devices while in flight. So let’s find out. Read More →
Has your iPhone 5 battery been suffering? Have you been charging your iPhone more frequently? Perhaps your device is among those that Apple will replace the battery, at no cost to you!
“Wait… when did I send that text? I forget when I sent it. I wish there was a way to see that.” There is! With iOS 7, you can easily see the timestamps of all the texts within a message thread.
With the introduction of iOS 7 came lots of new features and changes. One change is the way in which you manually close an app.
The old way was to bring up that “quick app switching” bar at the bottom, put it in “jiggle” mode, and then carefully touch that little red circle to close the app. The new way still involves the “quick app switching” feature but now it looks different. Once you get to the quick app switching view, simply swipe up on the screenshot of the app you wish to close. I can walk you through it below.
You’ve seen the commercials for other smartphones where they bump phones to share files, right? Well, Apple’s version of this doesn’t require you to “bump” anything. It’s called AirDrop and I’ll show you how to use it.
Sharing files with someone is always possible with email, but AirDrop makes it even easier with email out of the picture. If you’re next to the person (or people) you want to share with, you can utilize AirDrop to securely share your document or photo.
You get a phone call. You can’t really talk at the moment but you also don’t want to just ignore the call. But don’t worry! Your iPhone has the ability to quickly respond to the person via text message with a single touch.
So you took some good photos of that trip to Niagara Falls. Now what? How about stitching some of them together to make a nice presentable masterpiece of the highlights? There are a few apps that can do this but the most popular is Pic Stitch.
With Pic Stitch, you can quickly combine your photos into one image. There are many options to spice it up and different patterns to choose from. In the end, you can easily upload the photo to your social networks or even order prints from Walgreens!
