In this topic I will show you some tricks that can make the iPhone to be used more efficiently.

2. When typing a domain in Safari, you don’t have to write down the “www” and “.com” domain. Just tap the name of the site – if you want to access Google, instead to type www.google.com just type google in the URL box.
3. At the bottom of the screen, on the keyboard there is a “.com” button for faster access and write “.com” in the browser. But, if you hold down the “.com” button for few seconds, the other domains will appear - .net, .edu, .org…etc.
4. Faster delete E-Mails – if you want to delete multiple e-mails just press “Edit” and check the desired emails that will be deleted. If you want to delete just one single e-mail just swipe your finger across the desired mail and the “Delete” button will appear just next the mail.

8. If you want to use alternate characters while typing a message or a note for example, just tap and hold the letter that you want.

The symbols will appear in a box right above the letter that you pressed and you just have to tap the one you want to insert.
9. If you click and hold to a link in Safari, the entire URL will pop-up.
