Still figuring out what's new with the latest iphone update? Then newest version of iphone software, iOS 5, comes with lots of handy features. Here are some convenient shortcuts to make using your device easier.
Press the Home Button 2x (Double Click)
Double clicking the Home button at the bottom of your iphone will allow you to see all applications running at the bottom in the Multitask bar. To switch back and forth between apps, simply tap the icon for the app you want to switch to.
Tip: To conserve battery life, tap and hold down any icon that appears in the Multitask bar. A red cancel button (a dash) will appear to the left of the icon. Tap it to close the application(s).
Multitask Bar – Swipe (left to right)
This allows you to skip through or pause your music while running other applications.
After double clicking the home button, swipe left to right across the multi-task bar and the music controls.
Tip: Swiping right to left will show you more currently open apps.
Press Top Volume Button (in camera app)
When taking photos, you can use the top volume button as the shutter button instead of tapping the shutter on the screen. Just hold the phone like you would an actual camera and press the button closest to your right finger.
