Getting Started with the iPhone

Lawrence Yates The New York Society Library

Welcome!

• This seminar is meant to serve as

an introduction to the iPhone. We will go over all of its basic functions, from creating contacts to taking and sharing photos, to sending emails and surfing the

• net. We will also focus on

maximizing the iPhone with tips and tricks from the experts. My job is to have you understanding how to best use your iPhone in a short amount of time.

• YOU DO NOT NEED AN iPHONE

TO BE HERE! (But it would help.)

What you need to use an iPhone

• You do not need an Apple computer to use an iPhone.

All you need is an Apple ID and password.

• If you do have an iPhone, you will always need your

Apple ID and password handy, or preferably, memorized.

• The Apple ID and password is your key to downloading

apps, which will be essential to your experience with the iPhone.

Plan of Attack

• The Home Screen
• Basic Functions of iOS 7
• Apple Apps: Siri
• Apple Apps: Safari
• Apple Apps: Camera (Photos and Videos)
• Phone & Creating Contacts
• Apple Apps: FaceTime
• Apple Apps: Mail (attaching photos and videos)
• Apple Apps: iMessage (attaching photos and videos)
• Settings (briefly)
• Questions

The Home Screen

The place from which all must follow

Tips and Tricks: Move Apps around the Home Screen

• Touch and hold the desired

app, wait until it wiggles, then drag the app to the left of the app that you want it in front of.

• The other apps will shift over

to make room for your newly placed app.

• Try removing an app from the

home bar, and replacing it with an app like the Netflix app (right).

T&T 2: Creating folders for Organizing your Apps

• Drag the desired app
• nto another app.
• This will create a folder

which you can name.

• To access the folder,

press with your finger.

• To remove app from

folder, press, hold, and drag it out.

T&T 3: How to take pictures

• f the Home Screen
• Press the home button

and the power button at the same time.

• Very useful for

archiving webpages, images, or a part of a conversation to view later (addresses, dates, etc).

Basic Functions of iOS 7

From the home screen we have access to 4 important functions: Notification Center Control Center Spotlight Search Multitask

Notification Center

• To access: swipe down

from the top of the home screen

• From here, you can see a

quick update of recent emails, text messages, calendar events, financial information, weather, etc.

• Customizable through

settings

Control Center

• To access: swipe up from

the bottom of the Home Screen

• Control Center allows us to

easily access:

• Airplane mode on/off
• Wi-fi on/off
• Blu-tooth on/off
• Do not disturb on/off
• Orientation lock on/off

About Control Center

• You can access Control Center from the Lock

Screen (if you prefer not to then head to Settings > Control Center > and slide Access on Lock Screen to off)

• If you find you are accidentally opening the

Control Center while using an App, then go to General > Control Center > and turn off Access within Apps.

Spotlight Search

• To access: swipe down

anywhere on the Home Screen (except the very top)

• It’s a good way to

quickly launch an App, access an email, or find a contact.

MultiTask

• To access: quickly double

press home button

• The Multitask feature

allows you to quickly access recently opened Apps.

• Multitask also allows you

to close Apps which drain your battery. Swipe up on the App you wish to close.

Apple Apps: Siri

• Apple’s biggest innovation of the

last three years lies in the astounding Siri.

• To access: hold down home key
• Ask Siri anything! Ask Siri to

text, call, or email a contact.

• Ask Siri to change settings on

your iPhone (i.e. “Turn off Wi-Fi)

• Siri now reads your emails: tell

Siri, “Read my emails.”

Apple Apps Safari

• Now, along to the

slightly more pedestrian stuff.

• Safari is Apple’s Web

Browser.

Safari (continued)

• Safari allows you, from

left to right

• go forward and back a

webpage

• share the page
• bookmark the page
• make your page a tab

(right)

Phone and Creating Contacts

• On top of all this, the

iPhone actually makes phone calls!

• Just dial a number, press

call, and place the phone to your ear, or use the iPhone headphones handless headset (which is also your pair of headphones).

Creating a Contact

• iPhone allows you to

create a contact from the Phone App, the iMessage App, or from the Contacts App (right).

• After you touch the

App, you’ll get something that looks like (next page)

Apple Apps: Camera (Photos and Videos)

• Just touch the

Camera App and start shooting!

• The switch in

the upper right corner on this screen allows you to toggle between photo and video.

Apple Apps: Facetime

• Facetime is

exactly what you think it is: mobile video- conferencing.

• The recipient of

your Facetime call will need an iPhone or iPad.

• Works much like

a phone call.

Apple Apps: Mail

• More meat and potatoes.
• Mail allows you to do all of the the

things you would do with your email client on your computer at home on your iPhone.

• Converge multiple email accounts

into one master email interface (i.e. Access hotmail and gmail accounts

• etc. from the same app)
• Draft, write, tag and archive emails.
• Create and manage folders.

Attaching Photo or Video to Email

• When you are

composing an email in the Mail App, double tap the body

• f the email. A

horizontal menu will

• appear. Tap the

right arrow once and “Insert Photo or Video Appears.”

iMessage and Text Messaging

• Text messaging is quickly

supplanting talking on the phone and email writing.

• iPhone offers iMessaging,

which is free text messaging between devices on the Apple network. iMessage text boxes appear in blue

• iPhone also of course offers

standard text-messaging. Text message text boxes appear in green.

Settings

A Whole World of Settings which probably leads us into Intermediate/Advanced

• Settings allows you to tinker with your iPhone so you can get it to

work exactly the way you want it to work. I encourage you to explore the Settings for yourself.

• Remember on the MultiTask page, we talked about saving Battery

Power? A savy user knows two ways to prolong battery life by manipulating his or her phone’s settings

• Turn off some Apps that Background App Refresh (BAR)! BAR

allows apps to refresh their content when on Wi-Fi or cellular, or use Location Services, in the background. Don’t drain your battery if you don’t have to!

• T&T Airplane mode: Turning Airplane on when you’re low on

battery saves energy. Turning Airplane mode on when you’re charging your battery speeds your charge!
