iPhone tricks
Estate Agents have you recently upgraded your iPhone to the new
iSO 4.0 software or the brand new iPhone 4 will have probably heard
that there is a new ‘multitasking’ feature.
Unfortunately for those of us who fail to read the instruction
manual (which means all of us!) this feature is very likely to
allude even the brightest of tech savvy Estate Agents.
Resource Techniques has then decided to give Estate Agents a
little helping hand with the top 5 tips and tricks on how to use
this space-age device.
Scare other iPhone users
Estate Agents are able to scare their friends by inverting the
colours. People are automatically convinced that their screen is
broken. Luckily the option to change it is deep within the settings
and the label ‘White on Black’ isn’t exactly
self-explanatory.
To change this option go to ‘Settings’ then
‘General’ and then ‘Accessibility’, Estate
Agents will then find the ‘White on Black’ tab
here.
Homepage shortcuts
Instead of creating a bookmark to sit within the safari browser,
Estate Agents are able to create a homepage link that looks the
same as an app.
The app will either show a predefined logo image embedded within
the website or it will show a screenshot of the website.
To do this Estate Agents must go to their chosen website and
press the plus button at the bottom of the safari browser. They
then must press ‘Add to Home Screen’ where there will
be a preview of the button and a change to choose the name.
Mass message deletion
The iPhone 32GB has more than enough memory to cater for even
the most energetic of social butterflies.
Alas there will come a time that Estate Agents will want to
permanently delete an email or text message…
To do this all Estate Agents have to do is drag or swipe their
finger across their inbox and a delightful red ‘delete’
button will appear.
Press this and your message will fall into oblivion.
Multitasking
Multitasking is possible the most reticent of all the iPhone
features but it could possibly be the easiest to use.
All Estate Agents have to do is double tap the only physical
button at the bottom of the phone. Doing so will create a bar at
the bottom of the screen with four of the last used apps at the
bottom of the screen.
By swiping a single finger across this bar Estate Agents can
scroll through even more of the last apps that they have used.
By holding down a finger on one of the apps Estate Agents cause
the apps to shake and show a red delete button. By pressing this
red button will remove the app from that multitasking bar.
To stop the apps from shaking all Estate Agents need to do is
press the only physical button at the bottom of the iPhone.
Organise
With the new software, Estate Agents can arrange any apps into
folders so that their homepage is more organised.
To create folders Estate Agents should hold down their finger on
an app till they start shaking again. They can then drag any of the
apps onto another app. By letting go, the phone will create a new
black box with the two apps inside.
This folder can then be renamed to suit the category that suits
the apps involved
