iPhone tips that may come in handy!

Posted by Ansar on Mar 26, 2009 in Tips |

I have been happily using my iPhone for some time now, and every once in a while i’ll find a quicker way of doing things or a new feature of the phone I didn’t realise existed. Below I have decided to share a few of these with you. We’ll try and make this a semi-regular feature on the blog for the various devices out there.

TIP 1: Taking a screenshot

By now you’ve probably seen lots of blog posts out there where people have posted a screenshot of their app and wondered which software did they use to do that. Well you dont need to actually install anything. Just press the only 2 buttons on the iPhone together as shown below until you hear the camera click sound. The screenshot is stored in your photos section.

TIP 2: Viewing the address bar in the browser

When you’re browsing away on the iPhone and you’ve scrolled quite far down a webpage, it can be really annoying having to scroll all the way back up to type in a web address into the address bar. I’ll let you in to a little secret. Double-tap the grey bar at the top and the browser very quickly scrolls all the way up showing the address bar in place. It would be good if the page didn’t scroll and just the address bar showed up, but hey its better than scrolling pages and pages isn’t it.

Some nice tips there ansar. I have to admit that I didn’t know either, despite the fact I’ve owned both versions of the iPhone.

Hi Cags, nice to see you back here. I had been using the iPhone for quite sometime before I came across these as well :)
