Just get an iPhone 6? Want to have the best possible
experience with your iPhone 6 to get things done smoothly? These 4 little tips
would help you know more about iPhone 6 and control iPhone 6 in a smoother and
safer way.
Set up Touch ID
Generally speaking, if you purchased your iPhone 6 in Apples
retailer store, you could turn to Apple’s stuff to activate your iPhone and set
up Touch ID. But if you haven’t set it up, I may suggest you set it up immediately
for it could keep your iPhone more secure and save time.
First, to set up Touch ID, open the Settings app, scroll
down to Touch ID & Passcode. Tap
to enter this option and enter your passcode when requested, then toggle these
two options – iPhone Unlock and iTunes & App Store. Applying Touch ID to
these options will save your time not having to type your passcode or your
Apple ID’s password.
To set up Touch ID, tap the Add a Finger option, then follow the instructions to let your iPhone
6 record your fingerprint until it says OK. When it’s done, try out Touch ID.
Turn off your iOS device, then press the home or power button to wake it up,
and press your finger—the one you recorded with Touch ID—on the device.
For your convenience, you may set up Touch ID with more than
one fingers, as there’re cases your finger – the one your set it up as Touch
ID, might be busy doing other things like holding books, sticking on a baby,
etc. You only need to do the above things again to add Touch IDs with your
fingers.
Set up long passcode
The four-digit passcode seems pretty feeble, doesn’t it? But
actually, you can change it to a longer and more secure passcode easily. On Touch
ID & Passcode settings panel, scroll down a bit, and you’ll see a toggle
that says Simple Passcode. Toggle
this off, enter your passcode, then enter a longer and more secure new
passcode.
On the popup entire keyboard, you can create a passcode with
letters and/or numbers, and one as long as you want.
Put Apps in Folders
You could put multiple apps into one folder by moving icons
of these apps. Start by pressing and holding the home button until your app
icons wiggle. Next, drag one app icon onto another; iOS automatically creates a
folder. It even suggests a name; I accepted Productivity for the folder in the
video below, but you can change that. When you’re finished, press the home
button again to exit the folder, then again to stop the apps from wiggling.
To access apps in a folder, tap the folder; it opens. Then
tap an app, and it launches. You can put lots of app in a folder, and they can
even be on multiple "pages," with nine apps per page. If a folder has
more than one page, just swipe to see the next page.
Use Dictation
One way I save time on my iOS devices is by dictating. I
have big, clumsy thumbs, and it’s a lot faster to talk to my iPhone than to
type. You can dictate in most apps, but only if you use the standard Apple
keyboard. (If you’ve installed third-party keyboards, you need to switch back
to the default; only Apple’s keyboard is allowed to access the microphone.)
I’ve made a video to show you how this works, below. I
created a new tweet in Twitterrific on my iPhone, and I dictated a bit of text.
Tap the microphone button at the bottom of the keyboard, and
you’ll see that the keyboard goes away and is replaced by a large area that
shows a line. Start speaking; the line changes into waves that move as you
speak, and your words are typed wherever the cursor is. When you’re finished,
tap Done and the keyboard comes back; you may need to correct some typos. But
speaking a text message, tweet or email can be a lot faster than typing it;
just make sure to proofread it, so there are no “voice-os,” or transcription
mistakes.
