1. Put the battery percentage next to the icon

One of the things that Apple does not include as standard in the initial configuration of the iPhone is the percentage of the battery in number, we can only see the symbol of the battery with more or less charge, but that does not tell us exactly what is left of charging so we know when it's time to plug it in.

But we can have that data very easily, follow these steps:

Step 1:- Open the adjustments of your iPhone

Settings-iPhone

Step 2- now search General admission among all the options

Now you have the emoticons set, but when you're typing you still don't see them. To see them you just have to tap on the smiley face icon that you will see in the lower left part of your keyboard. If you have any other keyboard you'll see a world globe instead, but that's where you have to tap to see and send the emoticons.

4. How to take a screenshot with your iPhone

This is very simple, if you want to take a photo of what you are seeing at the moment on the iPhone, you just have to press the power button (At the top if you don't have an iPhone 6 or on the right side if you have the most modern...), and the Home (The round one below).

Once you press the two buttons you will hear the same sound as when you take a photo, if you go to the reel you can see the capture and send it to whoever you want or keep it for yourself.

5. Put Widgets in the notification center

This is one of the novelties of iOS 8, You can put a part of your apps in the notification center to see relevant things about them. For example, you can put the Widget of a Weather application to graphically see the temperature and weather of the place where you are.

Not all applications have Widgets available, but you can find out which one has them and add them in the following way.

Step 1- Swipe down from the top of the iPhone to launch the iPhone. notification center.

Step 2- Scroll down until you see a button that says Edit, click on it.

9. Use the camera to take impressive photos

If you have an iPhone, you have one of the best cameras that you can carry in your pocket, one of the most important factors when choosing a SmartPhone is its camera, so you should know some basic things that will help you get better results.

– To focus you only have to tap on the point on the screen in which you want to center your photograph.

– You can raise or lower the brightness of the photo just by sliding your finger up or down on the screen.

– If you are crazy about filters, in the lower right part of the screen you have an icon that gives you direct access to them, you can take your photo with the filter you want directly, you do not need to apply it later.

– If you want to be in the photo you can use the timer, it is the clock-shaped icon that you will see in the central right part of the screen, if you touch on it you can program the delay time of the shot to 3 or 10 seconds, time plenty to put yourself in the snapshot.

– In the lower left part you have direct access to the reel, if you have just taken some photos and want to see how they turned out, you do not have to close the camera, by touching the reel icon you can access them without leaving the camera and quickly return to it in case you need to pull another one.
