There seem to be an infinite number of apps available for your iPhone, and at least a dozen ways that having one can make your life easier, if you know how. You can make your iPhone work for you instead of causing you grief just by reading through this article.

If you want to save an email or a text without sending it, tap on cancel. A box inquiring whether you wish to save, cancel or not save the message draft will appear. The message will be moved tot he Drafts folder when it is saved. If you have no Drafts folder, your phone will make one when you make that choice.

Take photos with you iPhone without messing up the image by shaking it too much. Your headphones incorporate volume buttons and these can be used for this purpose. Focus initially on the subject that you are looking to take a picture of. When you want to take a picture, just push a button on the cord.

Be gentle with your iPhone cord as they have shown to be delicate. If you have to disconnect it from a power outlet or USB port, make sure you do it gently. Your cord will last approximately a year with proper care.

Purchasing an iPhone case could potentially save your phone. You can actually shatter the glass on the iPhone's front if you drop it without proper protection. Although the case is not a guarantee that nothing will happen to the device, it certainly helps.

Personalize your iPhone with the ringtone of your choice. There is nothing more dull than a phone that has the same ringtone as every other phone. Use a snippet from a favorite song or an amusing sound byte. This is an attention getter.

Have you lost a photo opportunity because the camera app was too slow to bring up? There's a faster way to take pictures. Clicking on the home button two times will get you to this area. Look for the camera icon at the screen bottom. Press the button to enable the camera.

There are a lot of great features that are on your iPhone straight out of the box, like a full dictionary. You can use this tool in pretty much any app. You just need to tap and hold any word you want to learn more about, and select "Define," which will be one of the available options shown.

When travelling through the web using the iPhone, you never have to worry about including the ".com" after 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.
