iPhone Tricks You Might Not Have Known

1.Scroll to Top of Page - In any application, Safari included, you can automaticallyscroll to the top of the page by tapping on the "top bar",which has the time, service bars, and battery. In Safari, thisnot only brings you to the top of the page, but also brings up

the URL bar.

2.Domain Suffix - [On firmware 2.0 only]Holddown the ".com" key for ".net, .edu, .org" keys.

Note: Slide your finger from .com to.net/.edu/.org, rather than lifting and pressing.

3. Press & Hold For Alternate Characters -

Hold a letter for a popup of various versions of thecharacter (i.e. to type España with the "ñ" simplyhold "n" and simply slide/release to theappropriate character).



4. Take a Screenshot - To take a screenshot, hold thehome button and click the sleep button. The screen willflash white and the screenshot will be stored in your camera roll.

5. Save Any Image from Safari -

To save any image from the web to your camera roll,simply press and hold the image. A menu will appear asking "Save Image" or "Cancel". Once the image is inyour camera roll, you can set it as your wallpaper.

iPhone Home Button Trick 1

There is a common misconceptionthat you must press the"Sleep/Wake" button to bring your iPhone out of

sleep mode. You can press either your homebutton or your sleep/wake button to wake your sleeping iPhone and bring up the "Slide to unlock"screen.


You can assign several functions to "double-clicking" your Home button. Simply go to Settings -> General -> Home Button. You should arriveat this menu:


Double clicking the home button from the "Slideto unlock" screen will always bring up iPodcontrols, right over the "Slide to unlock" screen. You can control your iPodwithout even unlocking your phone!



6. Double tap space bar for a period -

When typing on your iPhone, double tapping the space bar at the end of asentence automatically enters a period followed by a space. No need to press"123" to get to the numbers and symbols page where the period typically resides.I use this trick daily and it heavily increases my typing speed (especially whentexting).

7. Move "dock" icons

You'd be surprised how often this tip is overlooked. The 4 icons located on thegrey bar at the bottom of your iPhone - Phone, Mail, iPod, Safari - are movable,

just like the rest of the icons. Just press and hold the icons, then drag them whilethey are shaking. Press the home button when you're done. You can put any 4icons on your dock.

8. Double tap a column on Safari to fit-to-page

When browsing the Internet on your iPhone's Safari browser, double tap anycolumn, word, or picture to fit it's width to your iPhone's screen. This is extremelyuseful for reading blogs.

9. Your iPhone's headphones have a multi-function button!

You'd be surprised how many people don't know that the iPhone's nativeheadphones have a button on the microphone.

Just squeeze the microphone together, and the button gets pressed.

The buttons functions:

In call...

Press once to answer a callPress twice to send the call to voicemailPress once to hang up a call

In call while second call coming in

click once to hold current call and switch to new call

hold for 2 secs and release to ignore new call

Out of call...

Press once to activate iPod and play songPress once to pause songPress twice to skip to next song



10. Share your URLsIf you want to send the URL of a Web page you’re viewing to a friend, tap theAddress Bar, then tap Share. A new e-mail message, containing the URL, willopen in Mail; just choose a recipient(s), add any comments you want to include,and tap Send.

11. Get a bigger keyboard for Web browsingLike any other iPhonefunction requiring data entry,tapping Safari’s address bar summons an on-screenkeyboard. However, if yourotate the iPhone horizontallybefore tapping the addressbar, the Safari window willswitch to horizontal mode;then, when you then tap theaddress bar, the onscreenkeyboard also appearshorizontally. More important,it will also be much larger than the standard verticalkeyboard, making data entrya little easier. By the way, Safari is currently the only iPhone application in whichthis horizontal keyboard appears. (Also worth noting: If you summon thekeyboard before rotating your iPhone, then Safari won’t rotate)

12. Pick where you listen to voicemailIf you’ve got a Bluetooth headset, incoming calls get routed there automatically—not so when you call up Visual Voicemail. However, an Audio button on theVisual Voicemail screen lets you set where you listen to your message: thehandset, the built-in speaker, or a Bluetooth headset.

13. Make a call from SafariIf you find a phone number in Safari that you’d like to call—say the phonenumber at a restaurant you’d like to make reservations at—there’s no need to

jump to the phone component. Just tap the number; iPhone will dial it for you.(This is also the case with phone numbers and URL embedded in e-mails andSMS chats; tapping either one will place a call or open a Web page,respectively.)
