Did you upgrade
to Apple’s iOS 7?
Do you find the newly designed operating system is driving you a bit crazy;
your battery life has weakened,
the screen is hard to read!
There are some simple steps you can take to make your experience better.
Preston Gralla recently published helpful tips sourced from a bunch of different publications on how to improve your iPhone experience with the new operating system.
Richard and I like Preston’s tips because he comes at it from a practical baby boomer perspective.
A lot of his concerns line up with agents who use their iPhone’s every day for business.
In particular, we recommend this section on of quick tips:
- 1. Make it easier to read on your iPhone
- The default font and type size on your iPhone may not be to your liking — it may make text too difficult to read. There’s an easy way to make everything more readable. Head to Settings –> General –> Accessibility. You’ve now got more options for changing the way type appears. You can make text larger, make it bolder, and increase the contrast.
- 2.Auto-populate Web forms…or not
- Tired of re-typing in your name, contact information, passwords, and more on Web pages? Safari now has the option of doing that for you. Go to Settings –> Safari –> Passwords –> AutoFill and make your choices about what you want Safari to fill in for you, and what you don’t.
- 3. Hide notifications from wondering eyes
- Right from the lock screen, you now see notifications, such as your appointments and sections of your messages. That’s great if you’re alone. But if you’re in public and are worried that someone might be able to see all that, you can turn the feature off. Go to Settings –> Notification Center and turn it on or off under the Access on Lock Screen setting.
