Uncooked rice can be used to help dry an iPhone that has gotten wet. It is not uncommon to drop your phone in the toilet, a puddle of water or something else wet. A hair dryer can actually damage your phone further so to avoid this, fill a ziploc bag with dry rice and put your phone into it. It should be dried out after several hours or overnight.

Not only can you take photos using your iPhone's volume buttons, you can also take photos with the buttons on your iPhone headphones. Keep a steady hand when you are taking the picture and press the button found on your headphone cord. You will get a clear shot and won't shake the phone by doing this.

Another benefit of the iPhone is the ability to navigate. The map application should help you find directions to go anywhere as well as find a gas station, a restaurant or a store in an area you are not familiar with. You can bookmark the map feature for easy access on your phone.

You may be sick and tired of the many notifications you receive when using your iPhone. You can shut them off. Begin by selecting the settings button, then tap the notifications bar. Remove any apps that are located in the :In Notification Center" that aren't useful to you. That should help your battery life as well.

Any website can be turned into an iPhone app listed on your home screen. First, navigate to the site. Then tap the "Go" button. You will then have the option of adding the website to the home screen. Once it appears on the home page, give it a personalized name.
