Lots of iPhone tips and tricks

by Katrina - The Organised Housewife August 20, 2014January 14, 2020

iphone tips and tricks

 

I have a little obsession I should share with you. I love all my iProducts, I am certain I have just about all available and can honestly tell you it would be very hard for me to go back to a windows computer.  All my devices talk to each other and they are all user-friendly. I own:

iPod

First it started with an iPod so I could listen to music at the gym. Now I have my iPhone (which has music on it) I rarely use my iPod outside the house these days as most of my music is on my phone.  I do use the iPod to listen to music on the stereo at home.

iPad

I have an attachment to my iPad, it goes everywhere with me.  It’s like a mini computer.  Why I love it so much is that I work all day in front of the computer and I switch it off from 3pm and rarely have it on over weekends.  When I am at the computer I can’t help myself to check emails and do work stuff.  However using the iPad I can’t get ‘work’ distracted.  I use it mostly to surf the net, check instagram and facebook, sell items on Gumtree and lose myself in Pinterest.why i heart my idevices

iMac

When I needed a new computer I knew I had to get an iMac. At first I was worried as I had heard it’s hard to convert from the windows ways, but I found it very easy to convert over, the main troubles was working the mouse and the shortcut keys for copy and paste, but after a week I had it down pat!.  I love the huge screen and the absolute bonus is that all my iDevices talk to each other.  I use a to-do list app (see below) on the iMac which syncs with my iPhone and iPad.  So if I am out and about and think of something I add it onto my to-do list to remember when I’m home.

MacBook Pro

Then there’s the MacBook Pro Laptop, I purchased this so I can move away from the office and do work, sometimes I may answer emails while watching TV in the evenings.  I’m able to take it away from the house and do work in a different environment and I need it for when I travel away to keep the blog updated.

iPhone

Then there’s my phone.  I have an iPhone 5s, I purchased the s version for the camera quality.  I take many photos for the blog and instagram using my phone, the picture are top quality, which I am more than happy to publish the images on my blog.  We also use it to listen to music in the car.  The kids have a routine set they take turns who get’s mums phone and then they are the DJ for the car ride.

Tips for taking photos with iPhone

Burst Mode

I am known for taking far to many photos of the one shot than I should, but I just need to know I get a perfect one.  Burst mode is an excellent way of making sure you capture a great shot without taking up too much space on your phone.  Simply press and hold the shutter button for a few seconds and it takes a multiple number of shots.  Then click choose favourites, pick the best one, then press done and confirm if you want to keep them all or just the favourite/s you chose.

Burst Mode iPhone Tip

Hand Placement

I find holding the phone between my 2nd and pinky finger with the middle and ring finger behind supporting it makes it really stable, then allows my thumb to press the image to adjust the focus and press the shutter button when ready.

Taking selfies

My hand is really not long enough for me to take good selfies, but when I do I find it so much easier to use the volume buttons on the side of the phone, rather than the shutter button.

Other iDevice tips

Charge Battery Faster

If you need your iPhone or iPad to charge in a hurry, switch it to Airplane Mode while charging, this switches off wireless and cellular access allowing it to charge faster.  You can get to this shortcut screen below by swiping up from the bottom on your iPhone or iPad.

iPhone tips charge faster

More detailed calendar

Turn your phone from portrait to landscape (sideways) and your calendar gives you a completely different display of information.

iphone tip more detailed calendar

Easy typing letters and numbers in message

I find it annoying to switch between the ABC keyboard and the numbers keyboard, did you know you can hold down the 123 with your left thumb then with your other thumb add the numbers, lift up left thumb and your instantly back to the ABC keyboard.

My favourite Apps at the moment

Little Moments™ by Fat Mum Slim – The Lens Lab Pty Ltd

This app was created by fellow blogger and friend Chantelle from Fat Mum Slim, it’s adorable app that puts beautiful filters over photos, adds text and images. View more details of app here.

Facetune – Lightricks Ltd.

So I have noticed I am getting a few more wrinkles on my face.  Facetune helps to improve those fine lines by smoothing them out, getting rid of any blemishes, brightening eyes and whitening teeth.  See the before and after pics below, you would never know I had so many wrinkles. View more details of app here.

2Do: Tasks Done in Style – Guided Ways Technologies Ltd

You can purchase this app for the iMac/laptop and for your iPhone/iPad, they both sync together beautifully.  I use it to co-ordinate all my blog tasks and ideas. Such as tasks that I do routinely such as setting a reminder at 2pm each day to check and reply to emails, write weekly newsletter etc.  I alternate regularly between a digital to-do list and a paper one.  At the moment I have so much I need to do I find having a paper version next to me which I can physically tick works well.  But I wouldn’t get by without this app, I highly recommend it. View more details of iPhone app here and iMac app here.

So funny that you should write this blog post Kat. I have just hit publish on my blog about my trip to Brisbane last week…I purchased the MacBook Air and wanted hints and tips. Decided to streamline my apples….I do love my apples. I too love that they talk to each other, so user friendly and may help me to get a little better at this blogging business. Thanks for the post Kat!

Wow I never knew about the photo one that you can pick a favourite and I’m TOTALLY getting the Facetune app, you still look the same but with just less beauty lines (nicer than wrinkles right) You look great in dark blue BTW. I also had no idea about the calender OR the keyboard. Thanks for sharing Kat. x

Ooh yay Emily I’m glad I could help you, I like the facetune app for smoothing the skin, also makes my freckles disappear, gotta love that!

I love your demonstration of how you hold the phone with your right hand to take a picture and the calendar landscape mode tip! These will help me immensely! I don’t know if this is a real tip or not, but I love being able to save any image from a website onto my camera roll just by holding my finger on it and clicking Save Image. I used to screen shot so many things, but now I just do this if it’s an image. Thanks Kat!

Leanne August 21, 2014 - 8:44 AM

I meant to also mention a couple of my favourite apps.
* For photo editing: PicTapGo (free),
* For listening to music you didn’t know you wanted to listen to (hahaha) according to your mood or what you’re doing: Songza (free, uses data),
* To save and share the kiddoes’ artwork: Artkive (paid); and
* For the smarty-pants kids in the family: Codeacademy!

This was fantastic! I have always had an iphone but you showed me things I didn’t know! The holding of the phone blew me away, I just took a mountain of photos as I sat here holding my phone comfortably and I am embarrassed to say I didn’t know about volume controls for selfies OMG!!!

I’m really loving an app called TIcketyBoo Milestones. I can finally log all my babies cute moments, as they happen on my phone. I always forget to write that stuff down and now I don’t have to anymore. It’s so handy!

✨ Task: Baking Day
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I always add something baked to the lunchboxes like a muffin or biscuits. I usually always bake with the intention to freeze. I place the frozen muffin/biscuits into lunch boxes that morning and it's always defrosted by morning tea time. I spend an hour or two in the kitchen every few weeks to stock up the freezer. My favourites are coconut & pineapple muffins, 100+ cookies, and ham muffins 👩‍🍳🍪

✨ Task: Wardrobe Declutter
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In our new year refresh series, we turned around our coat hangers to see at the beginning of the next season what we haven’t worn (my hanger method). I forgot to take a photo but you will see the number of clothes I haven’t worn between then and now in my stories. There were quite a few. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I have since gone through and purged them and because I have to be honest with you, I have put on weight in this past year and choosing clothes to wear in the mornings has been a little depressing as there are quite a few that don’t fit me. It has only been 24 hours since I tidied up my wardrobe but waking up this morning and picking my clothes was already a brighter and easier start to my day 💛
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
LOL, and yes I colour code my clothes.

✨ Task: Create A Meal Plan
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Each week I plan my meals for the upcoming week- what most people call meal or menu planning. I have been doing this for a good 18 years and I can't recommend it enough! 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It really is a simple task that takes 5-10 minutes to plan one week of meals. The money and time that these five minutes save me throughout my week, makes it well worth the effort. Plus, I’m not a huge fan of visiting the grocery store more than once a week 🛒
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I have been online grocery shopping for nearly 2 years now. I love it, I rarely see the inside the grocery store these days. I do a local pick up and use my laundry basket with legs instead of bags. Makes unpacking when in the kitchen so much easier 😊
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you meal plan? If not will you give it a try? If you do, why do you love it?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Don't forget to share your photo!
