iPhone For Seniors For Dummies. Spivey Dwight
iPhone screen. (For some sites, you have to tap twice to get this to work.)
❯❯ Press and hold. If you’re using Notes or Mail or any other application that lets you select text, or if you’re on a web page, pressing and holding text selects a word and displays editing tools that you can use to select, cut, or copy and paste the text.
When you rock your phone backward or forward, the background moves as well (a feature called parallax). You can disable this feature if it makes you seasick. From the Home screen, tap Settings ⇒ General ⇒ Accessibility and then tap and turn on the Reduce Motion setting by tapping the toggle switch until it turns green.
Your iPhone offers the ability to perform bezel gestures, which involves sliding from the very outer edge of the phone left to right on the glass to go backward and sliding right to left to go forward in certain apps.
You can try these methods now:
❯❯ Tap the Safari button in the Dock at the bottom of any iPhone Home screen to display the web browser.
❯❯ Tap a link to move to another page.
❯❯ Double-tap the page to enlarge it; then pinch your fingers together on the screen to reduce its size.
❯❯ Drag one finger around the page to scroll.
❯❯ Flick your finger quickly on the page to scroll more quickly.
❯❯ Press and hold your finger on a word that isn’t a link (links take you to another location on the web).
The word is selected, and the Copy/Look Up/Speak/Share/Spell tool is displayed, as shown in Figure 2-5. (You can use this tool to either get a definition of a word or copy it.)
❯❯ Press and hold your finger on a link or an image.
A menu appears (shown in Figure 2-6) with commands that you select to open the link or picture, open it in a new tab, add it to your Reading List (see Chapter 11), or copy it. If you press and hold an image, the menu also offers the Save Image command.
Tap Cancel to close the menu without making a selection.
❯❯ Position your fingers slightly apart on the screen and then pinch your fingers together to reduce the page; with your fingers already pinched together on the screen, move them apart to enlarge the page.
❯❯ Press the Home button to go back to the Home screen.
Display and Use the Onscreen Keyboard
The built-in iPhone keyboard appears whenever you’re in a text-entry location, such as a search field or an email message form. Follow these steps to display and use the keyboard:
1. Tap the Notes icon on the Home screen to open the Notes app.
2. Open a note to work in:
● Tap the note page.
● If you’ve already created some notes, tap one to display the page, then tap anywhere on the note.
3. Type a few words using the keyboard, as shown in Figure 2-7.
To make the keyboard display as wide as possible, rotate your iPhone to landscape (horizontal) orientation. (If you’ve locked the screen orientation in Control Center, you have to unlock the screen to do this.)
QuickType provides suggestions above the keyboard as you type. You can turn this feature off or on by tapping and holding either the Emoji (the smiley face) or International icon (looks like a globe) on the keyboard to display a menu. Tap the Predictive toggle switch on this menu to turn the feature Off or On (green).
