How to Update For Using Your New iPhone

There are several ways to use the new iPhone is safe and efficient, and here is no possible way you can apply when you have a new iPhone,

1. Don’t forget the search box

 It happens to me all the time: I’ll be looking for a song in my iPhone’s music library and I end up fruitlessly poking around the menu for a Search button—when all the while, the search box is hiding almost in plain sight.In many of the iPhone’s core applications—from Mail and Contacts to Notes, Messages, Videos, and yes, Music—there’s a search box sitting quietly behind the title bar at the top of the screen.

2. How to control your music from the lock screen 

Want to pause your iPhone’s music player, skip a track, or resume a playlist, all without unlocking your phone?
Well, you can always use the iPhone’s tiny headset remote (more on that in a bit), but there’s also another way: straight from the iPhone lock screen.
The next time you’re playing some tunes on your iPhone (or iPad, for that matter), try this: lock your handset with the sleep/wake button, then double-tap the “Home” key.
When you do, a set of music controls will appear right below the clock, complete with a play/pause button and arrows for skipping forward or back; tap and hold the arrows for fast-forward/reverse.
You’ll also find a volume slider, plus an AirPlay button if your iPhone is in range of an Apple TV or another AirPlay-enabled device.
The lock-screen playback control aren’t just for the iPhone’s main Music app, by the way; they’ll also work for many other third-party music applications, from Pandora and Slacker to Spotify and Downcast.

3. How to take a screenshot

Ever wanted to take a quick snapshot of your iPhone’s display? Or have you taken a screenshot by accident, without quite knowing how you did it?
Well, taking a screenshot on the iPhone (or iPad, or iPod Touch) is a nifty, easy trick—so easy, in fact, that more than a few puzzled readers have written in, wondering how snapshots of their iPhone’s home page wound up in their mobile photo albums.
So, what’s the trick?
Here’s what you do: press the “sleep/wake” button (it’s on the top edge of your iPhone) and the “Home” key (the one below the screen) at the same time, then release both right away.

You’ll find your new screenshots sitting in the Camera Roll on the Photos app.
Snap! Your iPhone, iPad, or Touch will make a shutter sound, the screen will flash for an instant, then everything will return to normal.
So, where’s the screenshot? Just open the Camera app, then click on Camera Roll—you’ll find it right there.
One more thing: if you press and hold the sleep/wake button and the Home key for too long, your iPhone will try to reset itself.
In that case, don’t panic; just press the “Cancel” button when the red “Slide to shut off” slider appears

4. Four more things the Home button can do

Click the iPhone’s Home button once, and (naturally enough) you’ll end up on the home screen. Double-click it, and you’ll see the iPhone’s multitasking bar appear at the bottom of the display. But what happens if you try triple-clicking the Home key?
Well, most of the time, you’ll just wind up back at the home screen—or, if you’re already on the home screen, the multitasking bar will play a brief game of peek-a-boo.
But if you flip a switch deep in the Settings menu, you’ll be able to choose between four (or five, strictly speaking) new functions that triple-clicking the Home key can activate.
Tap Settings, General, Accessibility, then scroll all the way down to a setting labeled “Triple-click Home.” Most likely, it’s set to “Off.” Feeling adventurous? Then go ahead and tap.

5. 4 ways to decline a voice call

Gone are the days when declining a call was a simple matter of, you know, just not answering the phone.
Thanks to iOS 6, the new handset software for the iPhone, there are now (by my count, anyway) at least four ways to send an untimely call to voicemail.
Some of them are fairly considerate, others are downright rude. The good news, though, is that each method is relatively easy, even when you’ve got your iPhone in one hand and your keys in another.
So, ready to hang up your iPhone?
Here we go…
1. Send the caller instantly to voicemail
Here’s the most abrupt way to zap your caller to voicemail purgatory: when a call comes in, just double-click the “sleep/wake” button along the top of your iPhone. Either that, or tap the red “Decline” button on the touchscreen.
The moment you do, your iPhone will stop ringing, and your caller will hear the dulcet, prerecorded tones of your voicemail greeting—a telltale sign that you’re either a) out of wireless range, or b) dodging their calls.
2. Let your caller (eventually) roll to voicemail

Just double-click the iPhone’s “sleep/wake” button to instantly send a caller to voicemail, or single-click to silence your phone and let the call eventually roll to your voicemail greeting.
So, your iPhone starts ringing, you see the caller ID, and you just don’t want to take the call—but you don’t want your caller thinking that you’re blowing them off, either.
If that’s the case, try this: instead of double-clicking the sleep/wake button, just single-click it instead.Or, here’s another option: single-click one of the volume buttons.
Doing so will silence your iPhone’s ringer, but your caller will still hear your phone ringing.
Eventually, the call will roll to voicemail, and your caller will (fingers crossed) simply figure that you couldn’t get to your phone, or perhaps that you were taking a much-needed midday nap.
3. Decline the call with a text message
Thanks to the latest iOS update for the iPhone, you can now send a text message—such as, say, “Can’t talk right now, call later?”—at the same time as you decline a call, perfect for letting a spurned caller down easy.
Its a feature that’s long been available on Android phones, and it’s relatively easy to use, once you know where to swipe.
Note: You’ll need iOS 6 installed on your iPhone before you can start declining calls with text messages.
iPhone reply with text message 300x268 iPhone tip: 4 ways to decline a voice call
Tap the “Reply with message” button to send a pre-written text message to a caller you’d rather dodge.
Here’s what you do:
    When your iPhone starts ringing, you’ll see the standard “slide to answer” slider at the bottom of the screen. If you’ve upgraded your iPhone software to iOS 6, though, you’ll also see a little handset icon just to the right of the slider. Swipe the handset icon up.
    You’ll now see a few new options: Decline, Answer, Reply with message, and Remind me later. Tap the “Reply with message” button.
    Next, you’ll get to choose between a series of canned text messages, including “I’ll call you later,” “I’m on my way,” and “What’s up?” Tap a message, and it’ll be sent instantly to your caller, just as they’re hearing your voicemail message.
    You can tap “Custom…” to compose a custom message on the fly, or you can create your own pre-written messages by tapping Settings, Phone, Reply with Message.

4. Decline the call, then get a reminder

So, let’s say a call comes in that you really do want to answer—just not right this second. One option is to decline with a text message, as we just saw. Another is to decline the call but remind yourself to call back.
iPhone reminder for a declined call 300x190 iPhone tip: 4 ways to decline a voice call
Tap the “Remind me later” button, and your iPhone’s “Reminders” app will set up a reminder to return the call you just declined.
When the call comes in, swipe the handset icon up again, then tap the “Remind me later” button.
Doing so will send your caller to voicemail, and you’ll get a choice: Get a reminder about the missed call in an hour, or when you leave your current location. (Your iPhone’s GPS circuitry will trigger the reminder once you wander far enough from wherever you were when you took the call.)
Want to change the time of your reminder? Just open the Reminders app on your iPhone, find the missed-call reminder that your iPhone just created (tap one of the reminder lists, or use the search box), tap it, then tap any of the reminder settings (such as the time or the location) that you’d like to change.
