The iPhone has applications to help you get to the place that you desire. The iPhone comes with a built-in map application that shows you where you are at all times. You can find directions home or explore new regions you never considered before.

If you would like your iPhone battery to last longer, dial down the brightness factor of your phone’s display. Simply use the settings on your phone to adjust how bright the screen on your iPhone shines. This will conserve battery energy and extend the amount of time you will have before needing to recharge your battery.

If you’re searching the web with your iPhone, you don’t have to type out the “.com” of the web address. All you have to do is type in the main address and you will be directed to the site you are looking for. That may seem like a little thing, but over time that is a great deal of time saved.

You can now set location-based reminders through Siri. If you were used to giving Siri time-based commands, you can instead switch to location-based commands to make things easier. So instead of having Siri remind you to call somewhere at 6 p.m., you can instead have her remind you when you get home. Your phone will detect where you are and tell you about whatever reminder you set. That way, if you have no idea when you will reach home, you are still going to have a reminder.

If you go to a website over and over again, turn the site into an app on your iPhone. First, simply visit the site. Press the “Go” button when you get to the site. Doing so means you have the chance to add a shortcut to this website to the home screen of your iPhone. Adding your site to your home screen allows you to rename it. This creates a personalized app.

There are applications that let you use your iPhone to store files. In addition to photos and brief video clips, you can upload and store both music and text files. You can view and manipulate your files right through your iPhone, or link it to another computer to download and access them.

Link your personal and business email accounts to the phone in order to maintain consistent access. This helps you instantly receive notifications each tine you get an email in your inbox. You can link several different email accounts or only one.

If you are an iPhone owner, then you are probably aware of most of the things this powerful device can do. Regardless, it is easy to spend a great deal of time just looking through them instead of using them. Use what you learned here and make your iPhone work for you.
