Everyone has once in their life wanted to block somebody. Whether it’s that one annoying guy or that telemarketer that keeps calling, having the ability to block some people can be very handy.
When you block someone, you will not recieve phone calls, messages (texts), or FaceTime calls from them.
Have you ever needed to type something on your iPhone in all capital letters, but every time you tapped the shift button you type one letter that’s capitalized but all the letters you type after that are lowercase letters? That can get pretty frustrating. However, there is a solution. Your iPhone has a Caps Lock feature, which works just like the Caps Lock on your computer. You can simply turn Caps Lock on and have all the letters you type be capitalized.
This quick tutorial will teach you how to enable the Caps Lock feature on your iPhone and then how to turn Caps Lock on and off when typing on your iPhone keyboard.
We’ve all been there. That moment when you’re typing a text and your iPhone replaces a perfectly normal word with a totally bizarre one just because you’ve used it before. This is no good! How can you get rid of this so-called ‘history’ your iPhone keeps referring to while correcting your typing?
::buzz buzz buzzzzzz:: “Was that me or you?” Hard to tell if you both are using the default vibration alert pattern. Why not create your own customized vibration pattern so you’ll know right away if it’s your iPhone and not somebody else’s?
You probably have some photos from the holidays on your iPhone. Some of your family and friends may also have some holiday photos on their iPhones. Wouldn’t it be great if there was a way to share your photos with your friends and family? Well, with shared photo streams, there is a way to share those photos. But that isn’t all. In addition to sharing the photos, you and your family and friends can also comment on the photos and “like” the photos–almost like it’s your own private social network.
Imagine the next time you get Starbucks: you pull out your iPhone, the cashier scans it, and you're done! Now how tech savvy would you look then? Pretty cool. We want all our Simple iPhone readers to learn this so they can impress their friends. We'll run through the steps to do this right here.
One of the first features of cell phones was the ability to speed dial certain contacts. It saved us all lots of time. Can it be done on the iPhone? Yes!
Wouldn’t it be great if all the pictures you took on your iPhone could be viewed on your other devices without having to mess around with cables and copying and pasting? Just imagine, you could take a photo on your iPhone and then view and edit the photo on a bigger screen–like an iPad–without having to sync to iTunes or having to constantly email pictures from one device to the next. With Photo Stream, you can do this and so much more!
A few months ago we explained how to create and manage photo albums using only your iPhone. You can find that article by clicking here. Now we are going to move on to how you can use Photo Stream (1) to back up your photos, (2) to view your photos on your other Apple devices, and (3) to share your photos with friends and family.
Photo Stream is an amazing feature that allows you to do several things. First, Photo Stream operates as a way to do a limited backup of your photos. I say “limited” because Photo Stream won’t permanently backup every photo you take forever. Rather, as stated by Apple: “[i]f you have Photo Stream enabled on your iOS device, every single photo you take appears in a special Photo Stream album that holds your last 1000 photos.”1 However, the length of time your photos are stored on iCloud is limited because “iCloud [only] stores new photos for 30 days.”2 Second, Photo Stream makes it easy to share photos between your iPhone, iPad, supported iPod, and Mac computer with iPhoto installed. Finally, Photo Stream makes it easy to share photos or photo stream albums privately with friends and family or publicly with everyone. All of these features make your life easier and cost nothing to use! Now let’s get into the “how-to”.
We all have those times when we just need to get away from the world and to not be so easily pulled away from a task we’re trying to accomplish. With iOS 6 we have an option on our iPhones to go into “Do Not Disturb” mode which will temporarily stop incoming calls and notifications. You can turn this on manually or schedule a reoccurring time.
