Setting up
Activate and register
a new iPhone 5s
Just got an iPhone 5s? We guide you through the process of
setting up your device and registering it to your Apple ID
With trembling hands and a giddy sensation in
your stomach, you unpack your brand-new
iPhone 5s from its box and are ready to activate
it and start using it to enhance your life. But whereas
previously you would have to have had a computer to
plug your iPhone into to start the setup process, since iOS
5 you no longer need to tether your device to a computer.
The entire setup can be carried out independently, which
makes it a quick and easy process.
All you have to do is connect your new device to a
power source and then press the Sleep/Wake button,
which is situated on the top of your iPhone. This will
bring up a generic iPhone lock screen with a slider at the
bottom. Tap and hold on the slider with your index finger
and swipe it to the right to unlock the device and the next
series of screens will guide you through the setup process.
In this tutorial we will take you through each stage of the
process and explain what each screen is asking you to do.
Activation Prepare your iPhone
All you have to do is connect your new device to
a power source and then press the Sleep/Wake
button situated on the top of your iPhone
01 Unlock your device
When you first switch on your iPhone you will be
presented with a plain-looking lock screen with a
slider at the bottom. Tap and hold the slider and
swipe it to the right to unlock the iPhone.
02 Select your language
You will be presented with a long list of different
languages. The language you choose here will be
the language that your device is set to and the
language that all text will be presented in.
03 Select your Country or Region
Now select your Country or Region. This will
determine the apps that are available in the App
Store and the various media available from the
iTunes app, as well as the correct currency.

Exploring your
Home screen
Once your iPhone 5s has
been set up, start exploring
Your Settings
Your first port of call
once you leave the
Dock should be the
Settings app. Tap it
to start modifying
and customising
certain aspects of
your device
Your apps
A selection of Apple apps are
built into the operating system
and will appear on your Home
screen as standard. Tap on an
icon to launch the app
Tweaking options
If you couldnt decide whether to
activate certain services such as
Find My iPhone and iCloud during
the initial setup process then you
can do it later. Just tap on your
Settings app and you will find the
relevant options there to activate
and start using these features.
Adding apps
The Dock contains four apps
as standard but you can add
an extra one by tapping and
holding on an icon until it starts
to shake and then dragging it
with your finger into the Dock
Your Dock
The Dock is a row of app
icons in a strip at the
bottom of the screen.
This Dock is present no
matter which of your
screens youre on and
should be used for your
most-used apps
04 Location Services
The next part of the process is dedicated to your
devices Location Services. This allows apps to
gather and use data indicating your approximate
location. This is useful if you lose your device.
05 Enable or disable
You can either enable or disable Location
Services. If you are unsure of the purpose of this
feature and need more information then dont
worry; you can activate it later from Settings.
06 Connect to a network
Your iPhone relies on a Wi-Fi network to be able
to connect to the internet and fuel a wealth of
different services. If you are within range of a
Wi-Fi network then it will be detected.

Setting up
10 Read the T&Cs
After signing in, you will be presented with a
screen of Terms and Conditions that relate to all
aspects of your iPhone such as iCloud etc.
11 Set up iCloud
Apples iCloud first came with iOS 5 and it allows
you to back up data from your iPhone to your
own free cloud storage space.
12 Find My iPhone
If you lose your iPhone, Find My iPhone will help
you locate it. Activate this service to sync the
location of your device with your iCloud.
07 Set up your iPhone
Youre given three options. You can set up the
device as a new iPhone or restore it from previous
settings backed up to iCloud or iTunes.
08 Sign in
Youll need an Apple ID to enjoy the main
features of your iPhone, such as downloading
apps and back up and sync with iCloud.
09 Enter Apple ID
If you have an Apple ID you can tap Sign In or
create one by tapping Create a Free Apple ID. The
latter will guide you through the process.

13 Diagnostics & Usage
Apple likes to keep track of how its products are
performing, so this screen allows you to send
diagnostic data straight to Apple.
14 Set up complete
Congratulations! You have now worked your way
through the entire set-up process. A screen will
confirm the process is complete.
15 Start using your iPhone
Youll be presented with your Home screen, so
start tapping on icons to launch apps and find
your way around.
Exploring
your Settings
Start personalising your
iPhone through Settings
The categories
All of the categories
to which the
Settings apply will
be presented in a
list when you launch
Settings. Tap an
option to bring up
its individual screen

All about your iPhone
By tapping on the About option
in the General section, you
can get in-depth info on your
device, such as the serial number,
capacity and the amount of
space that your various apps and
media take up
Restoring from backup
You may not be setting up a
brand new iPhone; you may
just be restoring your existing
iPhone using an iCloud backup.
In which case the setup process
is still carried out the same way,
but when youre asked to set up
your iPhone, choose Restore from
iCloud Backup and all of your
previous settings will be restored
and all of your apps and media
will be redownloaded. This may
take a while though.
Software Update
By tapping on the Software
Update option in the General
section your device will be able
to find and update your iOS,
without the need to connect
your device to a computer
Usage
The Usage area is where you can
check to see how much storage you
have left on your device (its broken
down by app, so you can see who the
space-hoggers are), as well as your
iCloud storage and battery life

Your iPhone 5ss operating system is highly
configurable, and we dont just mean that
you can change your wallpaper, though of
course you can! The default settings that it has when
you first fire it up are pretty good for most people, but
there will surely be something that you would like it to
do differently, whether its waiting a little longer before
locking the screen, remembering your passwords in
Safari or adding a signature to your outgoing Mail
messages. More or less all of the iOS apps like Mail,
Messages, Music, Photos and the Phone section of an
iPhone can be tweaked and tuned to behave as you
like, whether its using shake to shuffle tunes in your
Music app or automatically checking for mail.
You cant alter everything of course, and though
some people claim that this is a bad thing, quite the
opposite is true. On mobile phones and tablets that
do let you endlessly muck about with every part
of the system, the result is almost always a terrible,
unusable mess. iOS 7 gives you just enough room to
personalise your device while making sure that you
dont end up actually making things worse.
Get to grips with Settings
01 Go to Settings
Hit the Settings icon on your Home screen to
go to the Settings section. The options are
grouped into categories, including connectivity
and appearance.
Understanding how to personalise your device can make all
the difference. We show you how to make important choices
02 Customise sounds
Go into the Sounds section. Here you can
set your ringtone tune and specify whether
sounds should play when you get a new mail
or voicemail.
03 Set wallpaper and brightness
In the Wallpapers & Brightness area you can pick
an image or use one from your camera roll. You
can also adjust the brightness of your phone from
here by moving the slider up or down.
Settings The basics of the iPhone 5ss Settings app

04 Phone section
This section displays your number and the
ability to reply to a call with a pre-set or custom
message. You can also activate a PIN code for
your SIM card and assign SIM Applications.
05 Set up Safari
By default, Safari blocks pop-up windows, which
is handy. In this section you can also get it to
autofill forms and passwords, which are stored
securely in your iPhones keychain.
06 Photos section
In the Photos & Camera section you can choose
how slideshows should behave how long each
slide plays for, what transition is used and if the
playback shuffles or loops.
General settings
All the stuff that doesnt fit elsewhere,
including serial numbers, data usage,
Bluetooth, auto lock, passcodes and
more. A very important section to
know about
Notifications
iOS can push notifications to you
when certain things are updated,
such as new travel information.
This notifies you without you having
to manually check for updates
Sounds
Choose from the bundled
ringtones or add your own unique
ones, synced from iTunes to your
phone. Also manage vibration
and text alert tones, key clicks and
other system sounds
Back up
When you connect your iPhone
to your Mac or PC, it performs a
backup of any changes, making
applying your settings to a new
iPhone very easy.

Setting up
For all the iPhones uses and versatility, it doesnt really come into its
own until you have Wi-Fi access. Sure you can play games, write
documents, send emails and even download the latest books, but you
cant do the really big stuff if you dont have Wi-Fi access to the internet.
Internet access turns your iPhone from an impressive piece of expensive kit
into something that opens up worlds. This in part is due to the magnificence
that is the App Store, a virtual store that gives you access to literally thousands
of different applications, ranging from popular games like Angry Birds and Real
Racing to GPS devices, interactive encyclopaedias, word processing apps and
much, much more.
Your iPhone is a portal to a host of fantastic services, but first you need to give
it access to the internet only then do your options become plentiful. Follow
our simple instructions in this easy-to-follow tutorial and unleash the potential of
Apples powerful device. You wont regret it.
Set up a Wi-Fi connection
01 Getting started
Go to the very first page of your iPhone and look for the icon featuring one
large cog and two small ones. Once found, tap it to launch Settings.
There are a host of services on the iPhone 5s, but youll need to get online. We show you how to do just that
Settings Switch on Wi-Fi on your iPhone 5s
02 Locate Wi-Fi
After entering Settings, the second option down is Wi-Fi. Tap on it and then
turn Wi-Fi on by sliding the button.
03 Find your connection
Your iPhone will now start looking for available connection points. Ignore
Ask to Join Networks at the bottom and simply tap on your connection.
04 The final hurdle
You are now ready to enter your Wi-Fi password. Fill in your details on the
keyboard. Once filled in, select Join and youre done.

3G is a network service that allows you to access the internet while
you are away from a Wi-Fi signal that you can connect to. Its an
amazingly useful service, due to the fact that as communication
networks expand, online access is becoming more and more expensive.
While public Wi-Fi spots are becoming more numerous everywhere from
pubs to McDonalds has them, and many are free there can still be charges,
in some hotels for example.
3G access comes with all iPhones and is enabled by default, which means
you can access the internet wherever you happen to be, whether theres a Wi-Fi
signal or not. However, if youre going abroad or looking to save on battery life,
its a good idea to know how to tweak your settings, as sometimes you may
want to avoid roaming charges or use up your data allowance unnecessarily.
Follow these simple steps to set up your 3G, and manage the way you access
the internet on your new device.
Connect to 3G
01 Find your settings
In the Settings app, look to the first section of options right at the top of the
interface. Youll see on called Mobile, second from the bottom; give it a tap.
Access the internet while youre away from home
Settings Change your iPhone 5ss 3G settings
02 Network settings
You can toggle 3G on or off at the top of the screen. Your battery will last
longer with it off, but your data connection will be limited to slower speeds.
03 Data roaming
Using 3G while abroad can rack up massive charges, so the Data Roaming
option is of interest to budget-conscious travellers.
04 Dont forget
Unless you have an international roaming package, keep it turned off. Youll
need Wi-Fi to get online, but youll avoid nasty surprises on your bill.

Setting up
Set up an
iCloud account
01 Update
First off, connect your device to your computer
through iTunes and check to ensure that you
have the latest free software update installed on
your device.
02 Launch Settings
There is very little tinkering to do to set up your
iCloud. Start off by launching your Settings app
(the grey cogs), and then navigate to the section
called iCloud. Tap on this.
03 Sign in
To activate your iCloud account you will need
to log in using your Apple ID, which is the same
email address and password that you use for your
other services, such as iTunes and the App Store.
All of your documents can be moved wirelessly from
device to device without you having to lift a finger
When you sign up for iCloud you
automatically get 5GB of free storage
With iOS 5 came iCloud, a new service from
Apple that is so much more than just a
hard drive in the sky. Free to all users, iCloud
automatically and securely stores your content so that
its always available on your iPhone, iPad, Mac
whatever device youre using. Through iCloud, you get
full access to your music, apps, photos and
documents, and it also wirelessly syncs all of your
emails, contacts and calendars to keep them up to
date across all of your devices.
When you sign up for iCloud you get 5GB of free
storage, which is plenty because all of your music,
apps, books, and photos that are pushed to all of your
devices dont count against your free storage. And
seeing as your mail, documents, account info, settings
and other app data dont use up much space, youll
find that your free quota goes a long way. You can
now set up iCloud when you register, but if you opted
not to during that process, follow these steps to set up
iCloud now.
Settings Setting up your personal iCloud

04 Merge data
If youve already set up an iCloud account on
another device, then you will be asked if youd
like to merge data, such as calendars, with the
data that exists on the iCloud. Choose Merge.
05 Tailor your options
You can now start selecting which of the apps
utilise the service. Move the sliders to activate
the apps. Photo Stream, Documents & Data and
Notes are disabled by default.
06 Automatic downloads
To get the most out of iCloud, click on the iTunes
& App Store section in Settings and then turn on
Automatic Downloads for Music, Apps and Books
to download new purchases from other devices.

Documents in the Cloud
One of the best features of iCloud,
Documents in the Cloud, enables
you to work on Pages, Numbers
or Keynote documents on your
iPhone 5s and then, without
the need to save or manually
transfer them, your documents
will automatically appear on your
iPhone or Mac for you to work
on later. Enable the Documents
& Data option in your iCloud
Settings to make it so.

of default Apple apps and
works behind the scenes to
make sure everything is synced
across all devices

iCloud is a very useful service that
can benefit you in a myriad of ways
Now that youve set up your free iCloud
account, well show you how this service
works in tandem with your iPhone 5s apps.
There is no disputing that iCloud is a very useful
service that can benefit you in a myriad of ways and
make life significantly easier, but unless you know
exactly how then there seems little point in activating
your free account. For example, should you activate
Photo Stream if you dont take any photos? And is it
worth switching the Documents & Files feature on if
you dont have any iWork apps on your Mac? In this
tutorial we guide you through each of the app options
that you are presented with on the iCloud Settings
screen and describe what each feature does. From this
you can decide if you need it on or not and go about
utilising the ones that you do activate. However you
decide to use iCloud, before too long youll wonder
how you ever managed without it.
Settings Which apps should you activate?
01 Mail, Contacts & Calendars
If you lead a busy lifestyle and use multiple
devices, then you should enable all three of these
options so that calendar events, contacts and
emails are synced and updated.
02 Reminders
Reminders is a free app that lets you make to do
lists and set reminders. By activating it in iCloud
all of your devices will remind you, not just the
one you set the reminder on.
03 Safari Bookmarks
Enabling Bookmarks ensures that all items stored
in your Safari Reading List are also synced across
devices, making it easy to start browsing on your
iPhone and continue on an iPad, for example.

are no additional options
associated with them, just
more detailed explanations

You can view your iCloud
account information by tapping
on the Account section at the
top of the iCloud Settings screen
Peace of mind
If you mislay your iPhone, worry
not. As long as you enable the
Find My iPhone option on the
iCloud Settings screen, the
position of your device will be
stored in your iCloud and can
be accessed from any computer
web browser by going to
www.icloud.com.
Enabling apps
To utilise the iCloud features
of your apps, to sync info and
data across devices, simply
move the slider of each app to
the On position
Delete Account
If you are upgrading
your device and wish to
disassociate your current
iPhone with an iCloud
account then simply tap
the Delete Account option
04 Notes
Moving the Notes slider to the On position will
ensure that any notes that you make through
the Notes app on one device will be synced and
made available to read and edit on other devices.
05 Photo Stream
This feature does away with the need to email
images between devices. If you take a photo on
your iPhone, with Photo Stream, it will appear in
Photos on other devices in seconds.
06 Documents & Data
As long as you have the same iWork apps on your
Mac or iPhone, this ensures any changes you
make on your iPhone will be reflected on other
devices, without needing to save or transfer.

Setting up
Use iCloud to back
up your iPhone 5s
With iCloud, you can back up all of your important
iPhone 5s data to your own virtual hard drive
Another prime example of how Apple
is striving to make your life easier
Your iPhone 5s is like a bank vault where all
kinds of data is stored. So what happens if
your iPhone gets lost or goes awry? Nothing.
Thanks to iCloud, all of your data is automatically
backed up and kept safely in your own cloud storage
space. When your iPhone is connected to a power
source and a Wi-Fi network, all of your media, settings,
app data and messages are backed up.
When you set up a new iOS device or need to
restore the information on the one you already have,
iCloud Backup does all the heavy lifting. All you have
to do is ensure that your device is connected to Wi-Fi,
enter your Apple ID and all of your important data will
appear on your device.
The benefits of using iCloud are vast, and the way
in which it goes about its business in the background
without you having to worry about prompting it is
just another prime example of how Apple is striving
to make your life easier, and keep you connected with
each device you own.
Settings Activate iCloud and back up your data
01 Update
iCloud is a free service, so connect your device
to your computer through iTunes and check to
ensure you have the latest free software update
installed on your device.
02 Launch Settings
From your iPhones Home screen, launch your
Settings app, and navigate to the category called
iCloud. Tap on this and then enter your Apple ID
and password.
03 Set up
Once your personal iCloud has been set up and
you have selected which apps you would like to
sync, tap on the Storage & Backup option at the
bottom of the list.

that you need to purchase more
space then you can do so through
this screen.
Backup
When the iCloud Backup
option is turned on, all settings,
documents, media and photos
will be automatically backed up
when your device is connected
to a power supply and Wi-Fi
Progress Bar
When your device
is backing up, a
progress bar will
appear that shows
how far along the
process it is. You
can cancel the
backup at any time
04 Turn on backup
On this screen you will be able to monitor and
manage your iCloud storage space, but, more
importantly, you will see an option called iCloud
Backup. Ensure that the slider is moved to On.
05 Wait for the activation
Youll be presented with a message saying that
your iPhone will no longer sync to iTunes when
connected to your computer, so tap OK and wait
for a minute while the Backup feature is activated.
06 Start backing up
Your iPhone will now back up when connected
to a power source and a Wi-Fi network, but you
can perform the backup whenever you want by
accessing this screen and tapping Backup Now.

Change the wallpaper
on your iPhone 5s
With the iPhone, Apple has allowed users
the ability to change the background of
both the Home screen and the Lock screen.
This may seem like a trivial addition to the software
set, but its actually pretty neat. Apple successfully
employs a closed system to prevent people from
making the environment look bad, so were glad that
we get to add a little individuality, and we were also
pretty pleased when we discovered that you can also
have different images for the Lock and Home screens.
Making changes to the system is very simple,
and proficiency at this simple task should give you
the courage to explore the settings further in order
to get even more use from your iPhone and make
improvements to the way it works for you. Whether
its an image from the iPhones supplied wallpaper
set or a photo from your album or camera roll even
one that youve saved from the web following this
step-by-step tutorial will enable you to customise your
iPhone 5s and have it looking the way you want it to.
01 Open Settings
Load the settings by tapping the Settings button
on the iPhone Home screen, which will take you
to this screen. Tap on Brightness & Wallpaper at
the bottom of the second section.
We show you how to quickly customise the
background of your home and lock screens
02 Wallpaper

These days, people can store a lot of
sensitive data on their smartphone.
Whether its log-in details for your online
accounts, private text messages, or documents that
only you are meant to see. If someone could gain
access to your phone, there may be a lot on there that
you dont want anyone to get hold of.
Of course, this extends to a more basic level too.
You may have friends who think its funny to send
messages to people from your phone when you
leave it unattended for a few minutes. Thankfully, the
iPhone has a very simple way for you to keep your
mobile secure. By setting a passcode, you are ensuring
that there is at least some level of protection for the
contents of your phone. Working just like a PIN, you
can set a passcode that only you know, and every time
you turn your phone on or unlock it, youll have to
enter this code before gaining access to everything it
has to offer.
Choosing a code that you remember is imperative,
but there are a range of settings that will allow you to
personalise your security to the level you desire. From
selecting the option to use a more complex password
to erasing data upon a number of incorrect entries,
you can tailor how the Passcode Lock works for you.
No longer will you need to worry about your phones
data falling into the wrong hands, or friends making
prank calls from your mobile
Set a passcode lock
Protect your phone from prying eyes and set a passcode that
will ensure only you have access to everything on your iPhone 5s
Settings Turn on Passcode Lock
01 Through Settings
From the Home screen, select the Settings icon,
and then tap on General. You then need to scroll
down until you see the Passcode Lock option.
Tap on this.
02 Passcode Lock
Within the Passcode Lock setting, youll see this
display of options. Currently, there is no passcode
set on your iPhone. In order to change this, tap
the Turn Passcode On option.
03 Enter a code
You will be asked to enter a four-digit passcode.
Make sure to choose something youll remember,
but nothing too obvious that people will guess.
Re-enter the code to confirm when asked.

Your passcode options
Erasing data
Within the Passcode Lock page,
youll find an option to Erase Data.
If youre concerned about losing
your phone or have very sensitive
data that you dont want falling
into the wrong hands, drag this
slider to On. This means that if a
passcode is incorrectly guessed
ten times in a row, your phone will
be wiped.
Too simple
Having Simple Passcode set to
on means you can set a four-digit
passcode. Move the slider to Off and
you can enter a longer, more complex
passcode for added security
Erase data
If you want to be super careful with
your beloved iPhone, you could always
slide this option to the On position.
That way, if anyone fails to enter the
correct passcode ten times in a row, all
your iPhones data will be deleted
Make a change
If you keep forgetting your
passcode, or you think someone
else might know it, you can change
it anytime by selecting this option
Turn it off
These let you control whether or
not Siri, Passbook and the Phone
apps Reply With Message work if
your iPhone 5s is locked
04 Extra options
Once youve set your passcode, youll notice
that a number of extra options are now available.
You can turn the passcode off, or change the
passcode if you so wish.
05 Set the requirement
By tapping on the Require Passcode option, you
can determine how long after you lock your
phone that you need to enter the passcode.
Shorter periods of time are safer.
06 More complex
If youre not happy with a four-digit passcode,
move the slider on the Simple Passcode option to
off. You can then set a longer passcode made up
of letters, numbers and special characters.

Setting up
In todays age of digital information, where
personal details are moved around at a
moments notice and where critical
information is bounced from one server to another
at a flick of a switch, it is very important to keep
control of it. Think about it, your iPhone 5s contains a
gamut of personal information. Just how many emails
and texts do you send and receive during a typical
week? What addresses do you have on your phone?
Do you use your phone for personal banking? In
general terms, you should always make sure to set up
the Find My iPhone app, which is supplied by Apple
for free and knows what to do if your iPhone is lost or
stolen. Thanks to new features that were introduced
by Apple back in iOS 6, there are now other ways to
control the privacy of your data. You may or may not
be aware of the conflagration involving the apps,
LinkedIn and Path, which were uploading information
from users address books to their servers without
letting users know they were doing it. It caused a
mini-scandal. New features in iOS now prevent this
from happening. Apple now allows users to control
what apps have access to what kind of data on their
iPhone. Heres how.

Install iTunes on your desktop
Although you no longer need to connect your device to your computer in order to start using it
and for getting system updates, installing iTunes on your computer is still a worthwhile exercise
Since the release of iOS 5, all Apple mobile devices,
including your iPhone, can be used straight out of the
box without the need to connect it to a copy of iTunes
as was previously the case. But downloading and installing the
latest copy of iTunes on your computer is still recommended as it
allows you to perform a series of useful tasks.
Primarily, through iTunes you can still convert your CD collection
to MP3 format and then copy the files to your iPhone, but the latest
version (11.1 at the time of writing) also embraces Apples iCloud
service so that any music you purchase through iTunes be it on
your iPhone or Mac is automatically pushed to all of your devices
wirelessly. Whats more, through iTunes in the cloud you can also
access all of your previous iTunes purchases from any device and
then redownload them for the current device at no extra cost. You
can also connect your iPhone 5s to your computer and perform
app backup and syncing processes.
In this tutorial we guide you through the process of downloading
and installing the latest version of iTunes.
You can convert your CD

will not function. Double-click Install iTunes to proceed.
04 Licence Agreement
Once iTunes has been installed, its icon should appear in your Dock or
Desktop. If it hasnt, youll be able to locate it in your Applications or Program
Files folder. The first time you double-click on it, youll have to agree to the
licence agreement. Agreeing grants you access to the software.

features that allow you to have
access to your music collection
more freely. iTunes now stores
your music and TV purchases in
your personal iCloud and makes
them available on your device,
anywhere, any time and at no
additional cost. Furthermore,
any music purchased from
iTunes will pushed to your
other devices, such as your Mac
or iPhone, automatically and

previously purchased music,
before the advent of iCloud, wont
be forgotten because you can

Contacts Add people to your contacts
Getting started
Now that youve finally got
your hands on a shiny new
iPhone 5s, one of the first
things youre going to want to do is

Contacts app. It has easy-to-find
buttons and a natural feel. If youre new

this process will be a revelation in
simplicity. Not only can you add all the
pertinent information you need, but
there are cool little extras hidden in your

iPhone 5s is held vertically, and this will
give you access to all the options youll
ever need. You can literally feel your way
around all of the apps on your iPhone,
and the Contacts app is certainly no
different. Remember that even if you
make a mistake, you can go back and
edit anything you like over and over
again until youre happy with it. You can

already taken the effort of maintaining
your contacts on your desktop.

Getting started
Weve all been there. Were in a meeting
and our iPhone starts buzzing. Its our
spouse/mother/boss but we cant answer
the call. However, we really dont want to
reject the call and face their wrath later. What do we
do? Dont panic, because now you can quickly and
easily reassure your caller that youve seen their call and
youre not ignoring them.
With iOS 6, Apple has introduced a nifty little feature,
which enables you to reject a call and respond straight
away with a text message with just one tap! Even
better, if you have a habit of forgetting to call people
back, you can set a reminder to return the call later.
You can make this feature work for you by setting up
your own custom default text message responses such
as In a meeting or On my way, making it even quicker
and easier to reject a call in those moments where its
not a welcome distraction. So, what are you waiting
for? Pull up a chair. Lets learn how to reject incoming
calls in style.

Getting started
Do you crave even a few minutes away
from the hustle and bustle of daily life?
Smartphones enable us to be always online,
and always connected to the wider world. The
boundaries between our digital, work and personal
lives are becoming ever increasingly blurred, meaning
that we get less opportunities to simply switch off
from the distractions that our phones bring.
Apple has come up with a nifty solution to this
problem in the form of Do Not Disturb - a feature
which, when activated, silences all notifications, alerts,
incoming phone calls and messages for a set period
of time or until its deactivated. Do Not Disturb is
a saving grace for anyone who is fed up of being
awoken in the middle of the night by their phone
buzzing or lighting up like a disco ball.
Dont worry though - you wont miss a thing. Your
iPhone 5s collects all of the alerts together, while your
phone stays dark and silent. Neat, huh? Ready for
some peace and quiet?

FaceTime is Apples answer to Skype and
it works in a similar way, but is maybe
even easier to use. The feature set is kept
to a minimum and video calling is the
main feature here, but it is the way it works that makes
it so useful in day-to-day use. Whether you want to call
home when away on a business trip and speak to the
kids, or just catch up with a friend in a more personal
way, the process to make and receive video calls is the
same as making a voice call and only requires a couple
of taps to initiate.
Since the introduction of iOS 6, Wi-Fi is no longer
required for the calls to connect to a variety of
Apple devices you can now use FaceTime over 3G.
Desktops, laptops, iPads and iPhones are supported
and each call is free, although if youre calling using
a cellular network, you must keep an eye on your
data plan. The use of two cameras on the iPhone
means that you can show the world around you
as you talk to someone with one tap and that the
conversation can become highly interactive if the
technology is used to its full potential. This tutorial
will help to get you started and, before you know it,
FaceTime could become one of your main methods
of communicating with others. It really is video calling
built for the modern age.
Chat to friends and
family with FaceTime
FaceTime can help you communicate in a way you may not
have considered before. Its much more personal than voice
01 Set it up
Go to Settings>FaceTime and make sure that
the service is set to On. You can also define the
methods by which you can be contacted.
02 Find a contact
Find a contact in your directory and look for the
FaceTime button below the number. When you
tap this, a call is initiated immediately.
03 Use voice
You can also use Siri to initiate a call. Simply say
FaceTime followed by the contacts name, and
Siri will start the call.

A small window
Your camera output will be shown in a small
window at the top right-hand side of the
screen. This is useful to check that the other
person can see you properly
Mute call
Tap this button to mute your end of
the conversation. Tap it again and
it will un-mute you and make you
audible to the person youre chatting
with on the other end of the line
Its all visual
The person, or people, you are speaking to
will always be shown in the main window.
They will take centre stage on every call.
This showcases the technology really well
FaceTime anywhere
Apple changed the way FaceTime
works in iOS 6. FaceTime calls finally
work over cellular networks as well
as Wi-Fi and this greatly increases the
number of uses for the technology.
You really will be able to make and
receive video calls anywhere.
The reverse camera
If you want to show the other person your
surroundings, just tap this button and the
alternative camera will be used. This is a
useful feature for long-distance calls
04 The first call
When the call is received by the other party, they
will see a message showing the name of the caller
and a dialogue explaining that its a FaceTime call.
05 The magic happens
The face of the recipient will be shown on the
main screen. Your front camera will display your
camera output in the small box in the top-right.
06 Show your surroundings
If you tap the icon in the bottom-right, the
cameras will reverse and you can use the back
camera to show the person your surroundings.

Messages Manage and organise iPhone messages
Messages are a staple diet of any
modern day smartphone. They are quick,
easy, convenient and almost always shorter
than a phone call. The iPhone follows Apple
tradition and adds a little style and panache to the
tried-and-tested text messaging experience. The
messages are not simply stored in an inbox, they
are stored in conversations, exactly as a user would
talk to someone face-to-face.
Being colour coded, users can quickly scan a
conversation to see the messages received and
sent. The integrated copy, paste and replace
commands mean that users can take even further
control of a conversation. All this works beautifully
for almost any exchange of messages, but as a
conversation grows it can become unwieldy and
sometimes irrelevant. This is where control needs to
be passed to the user, and as ever the iPhone does
it with the greatest degree of functionality. Two taps
and the message sender can be called, three taps
and a conversation can be deleted. Three taps again
and the user gets total control of the individual
elements of a conversation. Once you start using it,
youll never look back, so simply read on.

What is an iMessage?
As part of the iOS 5 update, Apple
introduced a new iMessage feature.
This meant that fellow users
could send messages between
themselves free of charge. If a
contact is eligible, the Send button
at the bottom will turn blue instead
of the standard green button which
signifies someone doesnt have
iOS 5 or above, or uses an Android
phone or similar.

Getting started
Using email is one of the most essential
ways of being able to stay in touch with
friends and family, as well as being a
pretty vital tool in the business world. The ability
to take your messages with you wherever you go
on your iPhone makes it even more essential, and
means youre not limited to responding whenever
you happen to be able to log in to your main email
account. Important business can be taken care of
as soon as it arrives, and you never need to worry
about what could be waiting for you when you
finally get back to your desktop.
This step-by-step tutorial will not only show you
how to set up a new or existing email account for
use on the iPhone and beyond, but will also
take you through the fundamentals of reading
and sending email. Once set up, youll be able
to use existing accounts at will, whether your
business or personal accounts, or freebies from
the likes of Google or Yahoo!
Youll be able to reply to and forward mail that
you receive and, most importantly, ensure that you
stay in touch with friends and loved ones, no matter
where they or you might be. Basically, you
will never look at stodgy old email in the same
way again, so read on to learn how to master email
on the move and free yourself from your desk at
work or home.
Access emails on
your iPhone 5s
Having your email with you wherever you go makes it invaluable.
This handy tutorial will help you set up your own personal account
01 Set things up
In order to set up an email account, you will need to first enter the Settings
app on your iPhone 5s. Look at the icons on your iPhones home screen until
you find one with a large cog and two smaller cogs. Tap on it to continue to
the Settings menu.
Mail Set up an email account on your iPhone 5s
02 Find your mail
Upon entering Settings, scroll down until you see a section called Mail,
Contacts, Calendars and then tap on it. The next screen will list all current
accounts. To add a new one, simply tap on the Add Account option that sits
beneath the existing accounts (if any).
Important business can be taken care of
as soon as it arrives, and you never need to
worry about what could be waiting for you

03 Make your choice
Youll now be presented with eight different account options. They are
iCloud, Microsoft Exchange, Gmail, Yahoo!, AOL, Windows Live Hotmail,
and Other. Whether you want to create a new account or add an existing
one, the process is similar.
04 Youve got mail!
After choosing your account youll be presented with the following screen.
All you need to do here is fill in the relevant information for each section.
Now tap on Next and then Save in the top right-hand corner. Press the
Home button and tap the Mail app. Congratulations, youve got mail!
Adding more accounts
If you have the need for
additional accounts (perhaps
a work account or the account
of your significant other) its
relatively easy to add them.
All you need to do is re-follow the
previous steps for setting up an
account. Once youve done that,
when you enter your mail you
will see an Accounts tab in the
top left-hand side of the screen.
Simply tap on this tab to be taken
to all the other accounts set up on
your iPhone. Select the one you
want and you can instantly access
your other mail. Very handy.

Since the launch of iOS 6, Apple has
redesigned Mail with a more streamlined
interface for easier reading and writing.
You can now set up a VIP list so that youll never miss
an important email whether its from your boss, your
best friend or your accountant. It is also now even easier
to add photos and videos to your email messages and
refreshing your mailboxes is now quicker than ever with
a single swipe. If you wish to attach photos or videos to
your emails, then all you have to do is start composing a
new email and then press and hold on the text field. This
will bring up the usual Select and Select All options, but if
you tap the right arrow on the menu bar then the option
to Insert Photo or Video will appear. Tap on this and then
navigate to your Photos app for the file you wish to
attach it takes mere seconds.
To mark a person as a VIP, all you have to do is tap on
their email address in a received message and then on
the Sender screen, select the Add to VIP option. A star will
then appear next to the persons email address to confirm
that they have been marked as a VIP. This star will also be
present next to all emails received from that person in
your inbox. You can also find VIP emails quickly thanks to
your new VIP inbox.
Set up a VIP list and attach
photos and video in Mail
Your Mail app has undergone a few enhancements since
the release of iOS 6. Here we detail the most significant ones
01 Tap on an email address

person will then have a star placed next to them
in your inbox, making it easy to pick them out as
you scroll through your messages.
03 Access your VIP inbox
Tap the Mailboxes button at the top of the screen
and you will see a new mailbox that has been
automatically set up called VIP. All emails received
from your VIPs will also be stored here.

Another improvement in iOS 6 Mail
is the option to quickly refresh your
mailbox. To do this, all you have to
do is swipe down from the top of the
screen and the app will instantly begin
searching for and downloading any
new messages that you have received.
More fields

and From. Any fields that you dont fill out
will be hidden again when you tap away
04 Accessing VIP emails
If you tap on the VIP mailbox then you will be
able to see every message received from a
marked VIP, so all you have to do is check this
mailbox to ensure you never miss one.
05 Add photos and video
To quickly attach photos or video files to
outgoing emails, start composing a new email
and then double-tap the text field. When the
options bar appears, tap the right arrow.

Managing your emails and
attaching files is now easier
than ever

Like many, you probably have a number of
different email accounts, each with their
own purposes and uses - depending on your
needs. Youll almost certainly have a personal account
you use for emailing friends, family or perhaps shopping
online. Then you have a work account provided by your
company thats strictly for professional emails. There
may even be one or two more that youve set up over
the years from various email clients.
Bringing them all into your iPhone 5s is an efficient
way of keeping track of them all, but keeping them
separate when you respond to or send an email requires
new signatures for each. This tutorial will show you how
to edit your default signature for the Mail app as well
as create bespoke signatures for each of your accounts.
This way you can make sure your professional emails are
as respectable as possible and your personal ones have
all the warmth your friends and family would expect.
Add multiple signatures to Mail

01 Access Settings

Contacts, Calendars to see the entire list of all the
customising options that are available to you.
02 Find the Signature section
Now scroll down to Signature. This option sits
between the Increase Quote Level menu and the
Default Account details.
03 Edit it for All Accounts

09 Send it
All you have to do now is click Send and your
bespoke signature will appear in the email to the
intended recipient.
06 Keep it personal
Likewise, you can set a more friendly signature for
your personal account, rather than your job info.
Keep it something generic.

Browsing the internet on your iPhone 5s
just got much easier thanks to a wealth
of iOS 7 enhancements now you can
start browsing on one device and continue exactly
where you left off on another. With iCloud Tabs,
any tabs that you have open on your iPhone will
be viewable on any other devices that is running
iOS 7 - like your iPad 2, new iPad, iPod touch or Mac
(as long as it is running OS X Mountain Lion) and
vice versa. All you have to do is tap the Bookmarks
button at the bottom of the screen in Safari, choose
iCloud Tabs and any tabs that you currently have
open on your other devices (which are connected to
the same iCloud account) will be selectable from the
list. The Reading List feature has also undergone an
overhaul. As such, Safari now saves webpages not
just links in your Reading List, so you can catch
up on your reading even when you cant connect
to the internet, which is ideal if you have to endure
long commutes to work on a train or bus when you
wouldnt normally be able to pick up a signal. Your
viewing experience is further enhanced by smart
banners that point you in the direction of a mobile-
friendly app.

Safari Open multiple pages in the web browser
In one fell swoop, the idea of creating a
simplified internet for mobile devices
because they supposedly couldnt handle
proper webpages was destroyed forever
When Apple revealed the iPhone back in
2007, it introduced the general public to
the notion of holding the internet in your
hands and manipulating it simply with your fingers.
With one stunning presentation, the idea of creating a
simplified internet for mobile devices because they
supposedly couldnt handle proper webpages was
destroyed, and the mobile web revolution began.
In this tutorial, we will introduce you to the basics of
Safari and having multiple windows open at the same
time, giving immediate access to all your favourite
sites. The principle is the same as managing tabs on
your desktop web browser, but with a visually slick,
touch-based twist that you would expect from iOS.
So grab your iPhone and lets get started navigating
those webpages.
Work with multiple
pages in Safari
Browsing the web on the iPhone 5s is completely different to doing so on
your Mac or PC. This being an Apple device, though, its very intuitive
01 Launch Safari
Tap on the Safari icon to open it and launch a webpage. Youll notice that
the address and Google bar are at the top while navigation controls are
found at the bottom. For the purposes of this tutorial, the bottom bar is
where well be focusing our attention.
02 Multiple thumbnails
Tap on the multiple-page icon, which is on the far right at the bottom of the
screen, to reveal a new part of the interface. All of your open pages will be
stacked and you will see the option to add a new tab (+ icon) and an option
to turn on Private browsing.

Import Bookmarks from your Mac
There are a few ways to make sure all the
bookmarks youve accumulated on your
Mac can be transferred to your iPhone.
One of these is through iCloud. If you dont

tutorials later in the book. Another way is
through iTunes on your desktop. Click your
device and then the Info tab and tick the
relevant checkbox.
03 A new page
Tap on that New Page button to open one up, blank and ready to be
directed wherever you want it to go, with your other page safe and sound
for now. Perform a search, access one of your bookmarks or type in the new
address yourself to get going.
04 Limited numbers
Theres a limit to the number of pages you can have open at any one time.
Once youve hit that number, youll have to start deleting existing ones if
you need to open others, which is done by tapping on the x widget in the
top left of a thumbnail.
Open a new page

easy-to-read format.
Thanks to a new Safari feature, you can read fresh web
content devoid of intrusive ads and page furniture
Browsing webpages through Safari on
your iPhone 5s is a pleasurable
experience, thanks to its intuitive
interface and useful features designed to make
surfing the internet as effortless as possible.
The app got even better thanks to the iOS 5
update that introduced elements such as Reading
List. But perhaps the best new addition to Safaris
arsenal of cool features is Reader. This feature enables
you to read and enjoy web articles free from clutter
such as intrusive ad banners and links.
If you have accessed a page that can benefit from
the Safari Reader function then a Reader icon will
be visible in the address bar. Tap on it and the page
will undergo an instant transformation into a cleaner,
easier-to-read format.
Whats more, you can increase the font size to
make it even easier to read and not get distracted
by page furniture. Its a quick and easy to use Reader,
and when you have read the article and want to
return the page to its original state, you simply tap
the Reader icon again.

Completely redesigned from the
ground up or should that be sky
down the new iOS 7 Maps app
revolutionises the way you view the world.
Constantly being refined, the map elements are
now vector-based, so the graphics and text are
incredibly detailed, even when you zoom all the
way in, and the panning is super-smooth. You can
also get visual and spoken turn-by-turn navigation,
real-time traffic updates and even soar over
cityscapes to see the sights from the air in amazing,
high-resolution quality in the new 3D Flyover
mode. However, at present only a small selection
of cities have been adequately rendered for this
purpose and only iOS 7 devices containing an A5
processor will be able to handle the feature (which
rules out the original iPhone 4).
There are still plenty of exciting new features
to enjoy though, even if you dont have the latest
Apple device to run it on such as turn-by-turn
navigation. Now your iPhone can operate just like
an expensive satnav system by superimposing
large signs and arrows over the map and speaking
each direction to you, so you can concentrate on
the road ahead, safe in the knowledge that your
iPhone 5s will get you to your destination on time.

confident that Maps will lead the way.
Discover the
new features
The updated app is packed
full of options to help you
get where you need to go

Getting started
If theres one category on the
iOS App Store thats exploded
more than any other over recent
years, its photography apps. There are
hundreds, if not thousands of apps dedicated
to improving your iPhones camera and
enhancing the stock Camera app that
remained largely unchanged since the
introduction of video recording with the
iPhone 3GS. Well iOS 7 sees the Camera app
on your iPhone completely overhauled with
a range of features that iPhone photography
fans have been crying out for.
As well as a much simpler interface, there
are now live photo filters, a square photo
mode and much more. In fact, wed hazard
a guess that the new Camera app could
replace at least two or three of the additional
photography apps on your iPhones home
screen. If you love adding filters and effects,
and the medium format-style images that
Instagram gives you, youll love what Apple
has done with your Camera app. As far as
filters go, there are eight to choose from (not
including the standard, filter-less image), but
if you want a quick result our favourites are
tonal (for black and white shots) and Instant
for Polaroid-style vintage snaps.
Heres a quick tour of some of the apps
main features. Whether youre an absolute
beginner or well-versed in iPhoneography,
the new interface and additional features
means there are certainly a few new tricks to
learn and, theyre all detailed below for you.
Use the new Camera
Take better mobile photos than ever before on your iPhone 5s
01 Open it up
To fire up Camera, select its icon from the
home screen or swipe up from the bottom-
right of your lock screen. By default, the
app will load in standard Photo mode.
02 Slide to switch
Switching between modes is easy; swipe
left or right on the mode name between
the shutter button and viewfinder. Square
mode gives medium format-style images.
03 Panorama mode
Swiping the to the left once more will put
you in Panorama mode (its quicker to get
to than on iOS 6) follow the on-screen
instructions to create a super-wide image.
Camera Rediscover your iPhones photo-taker

04 Add some effects
To access the Camera apps live filters, tap
the icon in the bottom-right corner (this is
greyscale when no filters are applied and in
colour when they are) then select one.
05 Preview your filter
The Cameras app filters are real-time, so
you wont have to wait for them to be
applied before you can see the final result.
When applied theyll show their results live.
06 Video mode
From the standard Photo mode, swipe
right once to turn your camera into a video
recorder. You cant add live filters in this
mode just yet, nor shoot your clips in HDR.
Flip the camera
Want to take a selfie or check your hair on
the go? Simply tap the camera button at the
top-right to flip the view and use your iPhones
rear-facing camera
Flash and HDR
The flash and HDR controls are at the top of the
Camera interface. For best results, we normally
recommend disabling the flash and ensuring
that HDR mode is on
Hold to focus
You can tap anywhere within the Camera
viewfinder to set your focus, but you can also
lock both focus and exposure by tapping and
holding for a few seconds

camera tricks
Extra advice for
perfect shots
Going for HDR?
If youre shooting HDR images and want
to save space on your iPhone, be sure that
the Keep Normal Photo setting is turned off
under Photos & Camera in the Settings app.
This will stop the Camera app from saving
an HDR and a regular version of your image
every time you take a snap.
Check your images
To view your iPhones Camera Roll, tap on the
image in the bottom-left corner of the Camera
interface. Its a handy shortcut to your most
recent snaps and videos

Shoot video on
your iPhone 5s
01 Launch the video
Tap the Camera apps icon on your iPhones
Home screen to launch it. Just above the shutter
button will be three modes Photo, Square and
Video. Swipe right to choose Video.
02 Recording video
Tap the record button to begin recording. As you
record, a red dot will slowly pulse at the top of the
screen, and next to this will be the elapsed time
of your video.
03 Change focus or exposure
To change the focus of the video or set its
exposure, tap at the point where you want to
set the focus or the exposure, and the rest of the
video will adjust to compensate.
You probably didnt buy your iPhone 5s to record video,
but its a valuable function that shouldnt be overlooked
The old truism that the best camera is the
one you have with you applies as much to
shooting video as it does to taking
snapshots. You might be browsing the web, reading
a book or listening to music on your iPhone, but
within seconds you can use it to quickly grab priceless
footage of that never-to-be-repeated moment.
In fact, the iPhone 4S and 5 are equipped with two
cameras: one front and one rear-facing. And while
youll probably get a lot of use out of the front-facing
camera thanks to the FaceTime and Photo Booth
apps, the better quality of the rear camera makes it
more suitable for recording video with.
Since iOS 5, accessing and using your iPhone
camera is easier than ever as you can access it directly
from your iPhones Lock screen. To do this, simply go
to the Lock screen and a camera icon will appear next
to the slider you use to unlock your phone tap this
and your phone will unlock and launch your Camera
app simultaneously to ensure you can start recording
straight away.
Whats more, once you have captured video,
you can edit it straight from your device using the
Photos app and then share footage within seconds of
recording it. In this tutorial we guide you through the
process of capturing, editing and sharing videos.
Camera Create a video with your iPhone 5s
The better quality of the rear camera makes
it a more suitable option for recording video
Getting started

04 Stopping recording
Tap the record button again to turn recording
off. A thumbnail link to your freshly created video
appears at the bottom left of the screen. Tap it to
view the video youve just taken.
05 Edit the video
You can trim this video by dragging the start
and end points on the filmstrip at the top of the
screen and dragging the yellow handles inwards.
When youre happy, tap the Trim button.
06 Share with others
To share your completed video with others, tap
the share icon in the bottom right left of the
screen, select your video, tap Next and then
choose a means of sharing.

How to control your camera
Camera quality
Youll get better results
with the rear-facing
camera, which records
HD video at up to 30
frames per second, than
the lower-resolution
front camera
Front or back?
When youre not recording, an
icon appears in the upper-right
corner of the screen that lets
you switch between the front
and rear cameras
Get the light right
The secret to capturing good
quality video on the iPhone is to
make sure you use it in well-lit
conditions. Both front and rear-
facing cameras perform less well
in low light conditions, so youll
get the best results if you record
your video outside in the daytime
or, if inside, where there is plenty
of available light.
Controlling recordings
The record button pulses as
you record and the viewfinder
displays the elapsed recording
time. Just tap the Record button
to stop recording
Lock focus
You can lock the
focus and exposure
by simply tapping
and holding in the
viewfinder until the
focus box pulses
and shows AE Lock

Getting started
With the iPhone 5ss camera just as
good as any compact point-and-
shoot digital camera and far more
convenient to fire up at a moments notice,
its no surprise that our iPhone Camera Rolls
get quickly filled with photos. When this
happens, though, things become problematic.
Up until now, beyond the date ordering of
Camera Roll images and the ability to manually
sort your snaps into folders, finding that perfect
picture wasnt exactly easy. Apple seems to
have tackled this problem head on, though,
and iOS 7 brings with it an all-new Photos app
featuring Years, Collections and Moments.
On the most basic level, your photos are
sorted year-by-year with the date and time
of an image determining which Collection
its sorted into. From there, things get further
organised by a more specific location in a
matter of moments. It takes a few minutes to
get your ahead around, but its by far a better
way to find photos than in the Photos app of
old. Once youve found that perfect photo, you
can edit using Photos built-in tools or share it
via a number of different methods including
the new AirDrop feature.
If youre itching to get started then look no
further than this tutorial. Well take you through
the basics of the app and show you how to
make the most of the new features iOS 7 has
made available. All youll need is an iPhone
stuffed full of your favourite shots.
Discover the Photos app
Quickly organise and arrange your images thanks to your
iPhone 5ss GPS data and iOS 7s Photos app
01 Year by year
On the most basic level, Photos organises
your iPhone photos by the year they were
taken. If youre a real shutterbug, this
should help you narrow things down.
02 Understand Collections
Collections work by grouping photos by
the date they were taken and the general
location they were taken in theyre
perfect for quickly sorting through photos.
03 Work with Moments
Moments targets a specific location and
date, grouping together images by specific
days or areas of a town or city. These
should find what you are looking for.
Photos View your snaps in style

04 On the map
Tapping on the name of any Collection
or Moment will reveal a map view which
places the images youve taken by their
location on the map.
05 Single images
Once youve found the image you want to
look at, tap it once to show it full screen
and tap it again to lose the Photos interface
for a clutter-free viewing experience.
06 Edit your images
Tapping the Edit option will bring up a
number of familiar editing tools (the same
as in iOS 6) along with a new collection of
photo filters to explore.
AirDrop it
If youre near any other iOS 7 devices capable
of running AirDrop, youll find them here. Its
an easy way to transfer photos outside of the
usual Mail or Messages
Select multiple snaps
If youve entered the Share menu from single
image view, you can always add more photos
to share by swiping and tapping on them at the
top of the screen
Other apps
In the second row from the bottom, youll find
icons for apps elsewhere on your device, such
as Mail, Messages, Facebook and Twitter to
share your photos from

Wheres Photo Stream?
If you find yourself staring blankly at iCloud
Photo Sharing and wondering where Photo
Stream is, fear not! Its been tucked away
under the Albums tab and is known as My
Photo Stream. Its still perfectly functional but
iCloud Photo Sharing does so much more.
Check out our tutorial on page 80 for more
Standard sharing
In the bottom row, youll find some more
typical sharing options as well as any AirPlay or
AirPrint options you might have on your local
Wi-Fi network to work with

Photos Edit your photographs on your iPhone 5s
01 Select your photo
Launch the Photos app from the Home screen,
then choose your Camera Roll or an album. Pick
an image, and then tap Edit.
02 Rotate the photo
From the Edit screen, select Rotate at the bottom,
and keep tapping this in order to rotate the
orientation. Tap Save when you are done.
03 Enhance the image
If you choose Enhance, the software will
adjust the colours of the image. Tap again to
cancel the changes, or tap Save to finish.
Since the release of iOS 5 back in 2011, you
have been able to edit your images directly
from the Photos app. Admittedly, the editing
software isnt going to turn your photos into works of
art with a couple taps, but it does help to enhance
both photos taken with the camera and photos
already on the device.
The editing features available include the ability
to rotate images from portrait to landscape. Theres
also an enhance option, which can adjust the colour
depth, brightness and contrast, thus transforming a
relatively dull photo into something that is altogether
more pleasant to look at. The last few options should
prove to be useful as well; the first of these allows
you to remove the notorious red-eye that you get in
photos which have been overloaded with flash, and
the second enables you to crop images. Again, this
helps when you only want a specific part of a photo,
and want to remove the rest.
For this tutorial, you will have needed to upgrade
your iPhone 5s to at least iOS 5, as not all of the
features highlighted here are available with earlier
operating systems. Simply connect your device to
iTunes, and it will prompt the update automatically.
Edit images in Photos
Make the most of your iPhone 5s camera and take
advantage of the built-in photo editing feature
It isnt going to turn your photos into works of
art, but it does help to enhance photos taken
with the camera and those already on the device
Getting started

Editing interface
Editing your photos is as
intuitive as the iPhone 5s itself
Forward Photo
Once you have made changes to
your photo, you can use the share
option (bottom-left corner) to
assign the photo to your Home or
Lock screen, email, tweet or even
print it (if you have a compatible
wireless printer attached). The
Assign to Contact menu choice
is also useful for adding images
next to your contacts names.
Enhance
On the surface this seems a basic option
compared to most editing packages, but
in practice its a great feature that can
transform your photo within moments
Filters
With iOS 7, you can now apply filters to your
photos on the fly and see real-time previews of
what they will look like before you hit the Apply
button, making life even easier for photo editors
Multi-touch controls
Before you choose how to edit a
photo, you can use the multi-touch
pinch controls to zoom into the
photo to focus on the areas you
want to improve
04 Remove red-eye
Select an image where people have red-eye,
then tap on the Red-Eye option. Click on each eye
to remove the red. Click Save to finish.
05 Crop the photo
Select an image to edit and choose Crop. Drag
your finger to resize the photo, or alternatively
you can tap on the Aspect option.
06 Undo changes
If youve made a mistake during the editing
process, choose the Cancel command at the top
of the screen to leave your images untouched.
Undo any changes
Thanks to the intuitiveness of the
iPhone, you can easily revert back to
the original image by pressing cancel,
and then quickly re-save it

Getting started
When it comes to the stacks of
photos and videos that gradually
fill up our iPhones over time, most
of use are guilty of letting them languish
in the Camera Roll. They might be great to
look back on when youre on your own, but
theres no denying those visual memories are
even better when shared. Fortunately, iOS 7
gives you plenty of options to do so. From
Facebook and Twitter sharing to sending via
Mail and Messages, theres no excuse not to
share with friends and family.
Things get even more exciting when you
add iCloud to the mix, though, with iCloud
Photo Sharing. Despite its name, iCloud Photo
Sharing allows you to share both photos and
videos with friends and family who have an
iCloud account. Its incredibly simple to set
up and, once youve added your loved ones
to your Stream, everyone can add their own
photos and videos. Its a perfect solution to
ensure that everyone sees the photos you
took on that latest family holiday or the videos
you shot of the last school sports day.
If that wasnt enough, you can add
comments to each upload to your iCloud
Photo Sharing Stream, so the whole
experience becomes a sort of mini social
network. Its a great use of iCloud thats sure
to see you share a lot more memories with
others. Heres how to make the most of this
amazing iPhone and iCloud feature.
Share and sync photos

Head into the Photos app, hit Select in the
top-right corner and tap on each of the
images you want to upload and include in
your new iCloud Photo Sharing Stream.
02 Tap to share
With your snaps selected, tap on the
sharing icon in the bottom-left corner of
your screen to bring up the sharing menu.
From here, tap on the iCloud icon.
03 Name your Stream
In the pop-up box that appears, give your
Stream a short but descriptive name.
This could be the name of the place you
holidayed at or whatever is relevant.
Photos Start using iCloud Photo Sharing

04 Find your friends
To add others to your Stream, enter their
iCloud email addresses. Theyll receive a
notification to join it and add their own
photos and videos to share.
05 Describe the action
The final step in setting up your Stream is
to describe exactly whats on display. This
can be as short or long as you like, or you
can skip it altogether if youd prefer.
06 View your Stream
Once finished, youll be taken to the Shared
Activity tab in the Photos app. Here youll
see new content that has been uploaded,
comments and new Stream members.
A team effort
Up until now, iCloud Photo Streams were
decidedly one way, where only the creator
could post images. This has all changed with
iOS 7 and now anyone can get involved
Add more members
Towards the top of your Stream settings is a
list of current Stream members and the option
to add other iCloud users at any time after its
original creation
Stay notified
If youd like to stay on top of whats happening
within your Stream, ensure the Notifications
toggle is turned on. Likewise, you can turn it
off when things get busy

As well as allowing every Stream member
to add their own media, iOS 7 also brings in
another key update, allowing you to upload
video clips to share with your friends and
family. The uploads may take a little longer,
but videos are certainly worth it for truly
capturing the moment.
Put it online
If youd prefer to share your Stream with a
wider (non-iCloud) audience, tap the Public
Website toggle and follow the instructions pro-

The Calendar app on the
iPhone is pretty useful and
very easy to use.
Of course, this digital calendar has a
multitude of advantages over a real one.
Firstly, you get the beauty of typeface
rather than scrawled handwriting;
secondly, theres no need for Tipp-Ex;
and thirdly, you can list your
appointments in a number of different
ways list, day or month views are
available to make everything easy to
take in.
Like the majority of iPhone apps, the
Calendar app is easy to use; so easy, in
fact, that youll want to document every
move you make while using it, from
eating breakfast to scheduling tea breaks.
Adding an event is simplicity itself, and
your events will sync with Calendar on a
Mac or Outlook on a PC whenever you
connect up your iPhone 5s.

Getting started
It would be easy to consider that your
social networks are static mediums that
reside purely on a website. They are to a
point, but increasingly, you can take advantage of the
various features of the largest social networks, like
Facebook, and integrate them with your iOS device in
a seamless and efficient way. Besides adding to your
contact information with data from Facebook, you
can integrate all of your Facebook events into your iOS
calendar in a few simple steps.
The process to set up this synchronisation is
extremely quick, and once done, you will be able
to monitor events whenever you want to alongside
your meetings, appointments and reminders. Each
Facebook event is shown in great detail and you can
respond using FaceTime, send a message from within
the event or choose how you want to be alerted. It all
works almost invisibly and will open up your calendar
to a much more interactive and immersive world
outside of your normal group of contacts.
Sync Facebook events
to your calendar
Facebook events can be displayed and used just like any other
calendar event in iOS 7. Heres how
01 Find the settings
First, open the Settings app and scroll down
through the various categories and youll see

The iPhone 5s Reminders app is
one of the simplest solutions in all
of iOS. Great care has been taken
to make the interface as sparse as can be
and the flexibility included has been kept
deliberately limited so that you can set your
reminders and forget about them until you
need to be alerted.
However, there is a hidden feature that is
very powerful and which you will likely use
many times once you realise how beneficial it
can be. The ability to set reminders based on
a specific location opens doors to automating
many of the tasks you need to complete.
There is no better way to complete a task
than having it pop up right in front of you
when you are in a position to deal with it and
this is why location-based reminders are so
powerful. They can simplify much of your
daily organisational needs, as well show.
Set up location-based
reminders on iPhone 5s
You can create reminders based on specific locations with
ease thanks to the Reminders app on iPhone 5s

keyboard to enter a new reminder.
02 Extra options
Type in your new reminder to make it
appear in the list next to a check-list point
and then tap on the Done button in the

you will bring up the task details screen.
Switch on Remind Me at a Location.

04 Choose the location
Tap on Location and the type in an address
for the Maps app to locate. When it has
been found you will be offered the option
of viewing it on a map screen.
05 Double checking
You should use the map screen to ensure
that the correct location has been found
and you can then tap the top-left icon to
return to the reminder details screen.
06 Leaving or arriving
You can now choose when the alert should
sound, arriving or leaving the location,
and then tap Done. The reminder will only
sound when you are there.

Reminder details should be descriptive and
to the point. When they alert, you will want to

location is especially useful. It only takes a tap
to set it up

You can also set reminders to alert you on a
specific date and time which is the standard
method, but by setting both a location-based
reminder with an extra alert based on time,
you can be doubly sure that it will sound
when you want it to. For very important tasks
this will offer great peace of mind.
Priorities
Priorities can be set for each task, but if you are
using the app efficiently you will never need to
manage your reminders at all. Let the app do
the work for you

Getting started
Despite the fact that some people view
the iPhone as simply a phone and a device
that has been designed to consume media,
just spending a few minutes with it will make you
realise that this is complete nonsense and theres a
lot more to it. With the help of a few choice
programs, the iPhone is a device very capable of
being used to create drawings, edit photos or even
write elaborate essays.
But you actually dont need to purchase anything
for the latter, as the Notes app comes bundled with
the iPhone and is a really great place to start exploring
how you can handle typing on glass. You may find it
a lot easier than you think, and this built-in app can
actually handle a variety of different tasks. Whats
more, if youre on a Mac your notes will sync directly
into Mail, so transferring your notes to your computer
is completely effortless.
This step-by-step tutorial will show you how it
works, what you can do with it, and how it could help
you in your day-to-day activities its much more
useful than you may think.
Use Notes on your iPhone 5s
Theres no need to purchase a word processor in order to jot
down ideas on your iPhone 5s as you can do this with Notes
The Notes app comes bundled with the iPhone
and is a really great place to start exploring
how to keep track of your hectic schedule
Notes Use the Notes app to write down ideas
01 The look of Notes
Hold your iPhone in the portrait orientation
(landscape doesnt leave much space) and tap the
Notes app. The keyboard will appear automatically.
02 The + button
When youve finished writing your note, tap the
Done button. When youve finished, tap the note
icon button in the lower-right-hand corner.
03 From one to another
That last action created a new note. To see all of
your notes, tap on Notes in the top-left corner and
all of your notes will be listed for you to select.

04 Note list
All of your notes will be presented in a
chronological list with the most recent at the top
going down to the oldest.
05 See them all
If youve gone note-taking crazy and have written
more notes than can fit on a single screen, you
can slide your finger upwards to scroll down.
06 Searching
Theres also a search field at the top of the list,
which can help you narrow down your search
when youre looking for specific information.
07 Landscape
Turn the iPhone to the landscape orientation. This
way you can get a slightly less cramped keyboard,
which you may find more comfortable.
08 Tappable links
If you type in a web link, it will become active.
Tap on it and the page will automatically open in
the Safari web browser.
09 Save numbers
The iPhone Notes app also recognises phone
numbers automatically. Tap one and you can
save it to contacts, or directly call or text it.

Of all of the cool little enhancements
that Apple users are able to enjoy
with iOS 7, by far the most significant
is a brilliant new app called Passbook.
This app is like a digital wallet that neatly stores all of
your boarding passes, movie tickets, retail coupons,
loyalty cards and more, all in one place. And by
tapping on an item to display it on your iPhone 5s
screen, you can scan your device to check into a
flight, get into the cinema and redeem a coupon.
You can also see when your coupons expire, where
your concert seats are, and the balance left on your
coffee-house card.
Whats more, wake your device and passes will
appear on your Lock screen at the appropriate time
and place like when you reach the airport, or walk
into the store to redeem your gift card or coupon.
With Automatic Updates enabled, if an event is
cancelled or there is a gate change after you have
checked into your flight, Passbook will alert you to
ensure youre not travelling for nothing or kicking
back in the wrong departure lounge. Passbook is
particularly exciting because it brings with it a variety
of possibilities, such as how we pay for things and
what we actually need to carry around with us,
potentially consigning wallets to the scrap heap.
Use the incredibly useful
Passbook app
Forgotten your wallet? With iOS 7 and Passbook installed
on your device, you may never need it again
01 Your personal Passbook
When you launch the Passbook app, all of your
tickets, coupons, store cards, loyalty cards,
vouchers, movie tickets and other assorted digital
tickets will be viewable in your Passbook.
02 Open an item
Tap on a card to open it and display it full screen.
Passbook displays an image that is related to
the functionality of the items in the wallet.
For example, coupons have perforated edges.
03 Scroll through items
Items of similar functionality are grouped
together. So when you open one item of a
particular category, you can scroll through the
others by swiping across the screen.

Your iPhone has always been good at
notifying you about updates, messages,
events and so on. In iOS 4, however, the way
in which these messages were conveyed was
sometimes quite intrusive, with a message box
appearing in the middle of the screen.
But since iOS 5, the iPhone 5s has really embraced
the concept of notifications, and the system features
an excellent suite to allow you to tailor all aspects
of how your device goes about communicating
messages to you.
Now, you can get messages, notifications, news and
the latest scores delivered to the top of your screen
without disturbing what youre doing. All you have
to do to set up your own personalised Notification
Centre is go to Settings, choose the apps, the order
they appear, and the manner in which they alert
you. To stay in the loop, swipe down from the top
of the screen, and youll be presented with a list of
notifications for all of the apps you have featured.

Getting started
Apples latest update to iOS may
have caused some controversy with
its radical new look, but theres no
denying that some of the changes are for
the better. In this case, its the all new Control
Centre and a redesigned multitasking interface.
These may sound complicated, but theyre the
easiest and most effective ways to get the most
out of your iPhone 5s.
Control Centre gives you quick access to a
number of commonly used settings that were
previously hidden away behind a myriad of
menu; now theyre easily accessed via a simple
swipe up from the bottom of your iPhone 5ss
screen. Multitasking, on the other hand, isnt a
new feature. In fact, its been around since iOS
4. iOS 7s redesigned multitasking interface is a
huge improvement, though, with full previews
of every app you have open and a quick
gesture to shut down apps that are running in
the background.
If all of this has you excited about unlocking
the power of your iPhone in a few simple steps,
then read on and well show you how to make
the most of these incredible features. Youll have
mastered them in no time.

04 Tap it twice
To access the multitasking view, double-tap
your Home button. This should feel familiar
as this action has been in place since iOS
multitasking was introduced back in iOS 4.
05 Swipe to switch
To move between apps, swipe from left
to right in the multitasking view. You can
see a preview of each app thats open and
tapping on it will take you into the app.
06 Quit the app
To shut down the app, swipe the preview
up towards the top of the screen with one
finger and flick it away. Do this regularly
with unused apps for better battery life.
Settings sliders
When your iPhones automatic brightness
controls appear to be failing you, use the slider

Control Centre is a universal feature in iOS 7, so
it can be accessed from any app. You can stop
this in Settings, though, to avoid interrupting
activities such as playing games

apps quickly in the multitasking view, use two
or three fingers to swipe up on two or three
different app previews at the same time this
secret iOS 7 multi-touch gesture will save you
minutes every single day.
Play the music!
If youve got music playing, whether its in
Apples Music app or a third-party offering, use
the buttons in Control Centre to play, pause or
skip tracks, as well as adjust the volume

Getting started
If theres one app that has
successfully evolved from the pre-
iOS 7 style of design more than any
other, its Game Center. Previously an app
dominated by green faux-felt and mahogany
elements, its been re-thought and definitely
taken a turn for the better.
The new Game Center is much cleaner as far
as design goes, with the shiny balloons giving
it that all-important element of fun. Whats
more, with the heavy textures out of the way,
its easier to use than ever, meaning theres no
reason not to get to know Apples hub for all
things gaming on iOS.
Game Center is the place to find your
friends, see what games theyre playing,
challenge them to tasks and achievements
within the games themselves, keep score with
leaderboards and much more. If youve ever
felt that gaming on your iPhone wasnt quite
social enough, then this app is certainly the one
for you. Be warned that not every app is Game
Center-compatible, but with Apple making
more and more tools available to developers
to integrate their games with it, weve no
doubt that youll find the vast majority of your
favourites make good use of its leaderboards,
scoring systems, challenges and turn-based
gameplay.
If youre stuck for a game to get you started,
why not check out Letterpress? Its a fun word-
based game that works with Game Center to
help you find opponents and challenge them
to a match or two. Lets go!
Play with Game Center

01 Enter your details
To use Game Center, youll need to sign in
with your Apple ID. This is useful as it helps
you to find friends and family who are also
using the app and vice versa.
02 Status and avatar
You can easily update your Game Center
status and avatar by tapping them in your
profile set something proactive and
youre sure to receive a few challenges!
03 Find your friends
Tapping on the Friends tab will take you
to a list of your Game Center friends, from
here you can tap the plus icon in the top-
right corner to find friends and add them.

04 Grab a game
Under the Games tab, youll find a list of
Game Center-compatible games youve
already downloaded or played, as well as
suggestions for new ones.
05 Set a challenge
Tap on the Challenges tab and youll see
in-game challenges from friends. Should
you wish to accept, tap on the balloon to
grab the app, if you havent already.
06 Turn by turn
Games that feature turn-based rounds or
gameplay will appear under the Turns tab.
Game Center will notify you when its your
turn so you dont have to keep checking.

the iPhone is hugely varied and there really
is something for everyone, so fire up the App
Store and head to the Games category to find
something that suits you.

Getting started
When it was introduced with the
iPhone 4S, Siri seemed almost
futuristic. Not only could you talk
to your phone, but it would talk back and
do things for you! Siri has stuck around but
hasnt always been the most useful feature on
our iPhones. Fortunately, iOS 7 has changed
that, bringing with it a number of new Siri
commands that help you to really make the
most of your own virtual personal assistant.
Siri now has far more access to your
iPhones key settings and apps. Control
Center might be a quick way to access your
iPhones brightness, but if youre struggling to
see a recipe mid-way through cooking and
dont want to get your iPhone dirty, Siri will
sort it for you. Thats not all, though, Siri can
now search Twitter for tweets from specific
users and even find images online, all without
forcing you into Safari or any other app. Its
an exciting change of gear for this hugely
underrated iOS feature and one thatll see us
take another few steps closer to the futuristic
phones and computers weve been dreaming
about for years.
Heres our pick of some of the best new
Siri features for you try out on your iPhone.
Youll need to be connected to the internet
via Wi-FI or 3G/4G and have a compatible
iPhone, but otherwise, its just a case of
tapping and holding that Home button in
order to launch Siri and get going.
Use Siris new features
Enjoy more voice control over your iPhone 5s with a host
of great new Siri commands
01 Change your settings
Asking Siri to Turn Bluetooth off is
now the quickest way to toggle that
connectivity setting. It works for Wi-Fi, too,
as well as a few other Settings app controls.
02 Check the gossip
iOS 7 takes your iPhones integration with
Twitter a step further, allowing you to
search for a specific users tweets. Just ask
Siri, What is [name of user] saying?
03 Search on Wikipedia
Whether its cheating at a pub quiz,
impressing your mates or simply swotting
up, Siri can help. Ask about any person or
subject to be shown a Wikipedia entry.
Siri Go hands free with your iPhone 5s

04 Stay away, Safari!
Instead of taking you straight to Safari for
web results, Siri displays searches via Bing
within its own interface, meaning you can
carry on asking questions or tap any result.
05 Launch an app
Siris powers have extended to launching
apps and, while it might not be quicker
than tapping an icon, if youre already
asking questions another one cant hurt.
06 Find a photo
Asking Siri to Show me images of [a place/
person/animal/etc] will take you straight
to Bings image results, again, without
throwing you into the Safari app.
Tap and edit
If Siri doesnt quite catch your request, you
can always hit tap to edit and use the iPhones
software keyboard to tweak the interpretation
and get the right answers
Turn it up!
Asking Siri to, Turn the brightness up will
increase your iPhones display brightness and
present the slider for you to tweak the setting
further, if you need to do so

Siris intelligence profile

Teaching Siri
To make Siri even more practical use
phrases like, John Smith is my Dad to
teach relationships between people in your
Contacts app and yourself. That way, you can
say commands such as, FaceTime my Dad to
speed things up.
Classic commands
Like the Siri of old, classic commands and re-
quests such as local information still work and
things seem to be a little snappier with iOS 7, so
you wont go hungry

Getting started
Add relationships to
Contacts with Siri
01 Name yourself
The first step in assigning relationships might be to set Siri up to refer to you
by your preferred name. This is a quick and simple process, all you have to do
it simply tell Siri: call me followed by your preferred nickname and Siri will
confirm that as your name.
Use your smart personal assistant to add relationships and
make contacting people even faster
As well as setting up a nickname for
yourself, you can also tell Siri the name of
your mother, father, brother and more
Siri is the perfect tool when you need
to make a call or send a text without
looking at your phone, in part because
its so good at recognising the names of your
contacts. However, sometimes you might forget
youre speaking to a machine, and say something
like, send a text to mum. If you were talking to a
person, theyd know what you meant, but Siri isnt.
Thankfully, its a clever computer. As well as
setting up a nickname for yourself, by which Siri
will refer to you, you can also tell Siri the name of
your mother, father, brother, manager and more.
By doing this, saying simple phrases like call mum
will result in a phone call being placed to the
contact youve told Siri is your mother. You can
do this in the Contacts app as well, by scrolling
through a list of possible relationships or creating
a customised one, but doing it via Siri is faster and
considerably simpler. Give it a try and see how
easy it becomes to speak to your favourite people.
02 He aint heavy
Once you have done this, you will want to start setting up relationships. To
do this, simply tell Siri the name of a contact and their relationship to you, for
example: My brother is Jim Appleseed. Siri will try to offer various options
for you to choose from if it doesnt recognise the name straight away.
Siri Set up relationships for contacts

Updating contacts
Make iOS even more useful
Set relationships
You can set
relationships up
using either Siri or
the Contacts app,
although the latter
lists the possible
relationship options
for you to choose from
rather than making
you guess Customised relationships
You can create customised
relationships, too. Enter Contacts,
hit Edit in your contact card and
tap the mother section on the
left of the new entry bar. Scroll
right down to the bottom of the
next page and youll see that you
can add Custom Labels. This is
great for things like best friends
and fianc, which Apple doesnt
include by default.
Edit existing relationships
To upgrade or alter a relationship
if you get married, for example
you can tap the arrow on
the right of the name. This will
let you make the relationship
anything you want
Clean breakup
If you need to remove a
relationship from your contact
card, you can do so by entering the
Contacts app, choosing Edit and
tapping the delete button next to
the unwanted relationship
03 Hes my brother
Once Siri has found the correct contact, you will be asked to confirm the
selection. Siri will now remember this information for you to use later. If
however, you want to remove the information, you can do so through the
Contacts app.
04 Give them a call
Now that you have completed these steps, you can begin to use Siri to
quickly call people using the relationship status youve set up. You can simply
say call my brother and Siri will ask you which number if there is more than
one stored for this contact and then make the call. You can send emails too.
Dont delete
Sadly, you cant delete relationships
via Siri, only set them up. If you
want to delete a relationship the
only way to do it is by opening up
the Contacts app, as shown here

Getting started
Siri is an amazing assistant built into the
iPhone 5s and it is capable of carrying out
a wide range of commands. All you have to
do is to press the home button for a couple of seconds
and then say what you want it to do. If you have
installed and set up the Twitter and Facebook apps
on the iPhone, you can easily post Twitter messages
and add Facebook updates simply by saying what you
want. Saying tweet is sufficient to display an empty
Twitter message with Siri listening intently for you to
speak whatever you want to post. Similarly, post to
facebook will display a Facebook box ready to convert
your speech into a status update.
In the tutorial we have broken down the procedure
into short steps, but once you get the hang of it, you
can experiment with more complex commands and
take shortcuts. For example, you can string together
two or more commands, like Post to Facebook.
Everything after Facebook becomes the post. Try it
and see.
Post to Facebook
and Twitter with Siri
Dont type Facebook and Twitter messages
when you can just speak your posts with Siri
01 Enable Siri
Hold down the Home button at the bottom of
the phone until the Siri microphone icon appears
on the screen. Siri will then start listening for
commands after a couple of seconds.
02 Twitter or Facebook?
Say tweet and Siri displays an empty Twitter
message box, but say post to Facebook and an
empty Facebook message appears. Siri will then
listen for the message to add.
03 Speak to Siri
Say the message you want to post and after a few
seconds Siri will turn it into text and insert it into
the post body automatically for you. Say post or
tap Post and Siri uploads it.
Siri Speak your Facebook updates
Saying tweet is sufficient to display an empty
Twitter message with Siri listening intently

Siris limitations
Siri works by sending data over the
internet to Apples servers. It then
receives a response and displays it on
the screen. If there isnt an internet
connection, such as 3G or Wi-Fi,
Siri wont work.
04 Edit the text
This step is entirely optional and is only required
if you want to change the text of the message
in some way. Tap anywhere inside the message
body and a keyboard is displayed.
05 Speak some more
This is another optional step and if you want to,
you can easily add more to the message. Press
the microphone button on the keyboard and
speak whatever you want to add to the text.
06 Lock Siri
Mischievous friends can pick up your phone and
post to Facebook and Twitter! To block this, go to
Settings>General>Passcode Lock and turn off Siri
under Allow Access When Locked.
Tweet using Siri
Speak your Twitter posts
and cut down on the
typing time and effort
Insert hashtags
Twitter is well known for its hashtags and
putting a hash in front of a word indicates
that it is a keyword. Just say hashtag to
insert a hash
Say tweet
To create a new Twitter post, just say
tweet. An empty message appears and
you can say the message you want to post.
It couldnt be any easier
Edit the text
If your tweet is perfect just as it is, you
can simply send it. You might want to
edit it though. Tapping in the text
brings up the keyboard
Speak some more
You can type more text, but why
bother when you can speak it.
Tap the microphone button and
just say what you want to add to
the message

Discover why its easier than ever to keep
your friends and family in your social loop
With iOS 6, Apple managed to integrate
Facebook as seamlessly as Twitter in iOS 5,
so you can update your status without
leaving your core apps. Interacting with the worlds
largest social network has never been easier. Now you
can share a photo on Facebook straight from your
Camera or Photos app, post your location using Maps,
brag about high scores straight from Game Center
and, if you have your hands full, you can get Siri to do
all the posting on your behalf. Just like with Apples
Twitter integration before it, you will need to
download the free Facebook app and log into your
account to access the Facebook features in your core
apps. But once you sign in, youll be up and running
and wont have to worry about logging in again.
With the Facebook integration set up, you need
not miss an important birthday or get-together again
because all Facebook events are integrated straight
into your Calendar app. Whats more, all of your
friends profile information is also integrated straight
into your Contacts app, so if your friends update an
email address or phone number, then you will
automatically stay bang up to date.
There are many more, subtler, ways in which
Facebook has been integrated, too - such as sharing
webpages in Safari and Liking songs, artists, shows,
movies and more in the iTunes and App Store apps.
With Facebook integration, it has never been easier to
keep your friends and family updated while youre on
the move.

Theres little doubt that Twitter is a social
phenomenon. This simple application allows
you to share thoughts or tweets with
people around the world almost as soon as they enter
your head, and likewise, see whats on the minds of
people that you choose to follow.
The advent of smartphones has taken this concept
to the next level by allowing you to tweet at any
time, wherever you are in the world, making it easier
than ever to speak your mind. Now, the tweeting
process just got even easier with your iPhone. Twitter
is integrated seamlessly into Apples operating system;
simply sign in, then begin tweeting directly from your
favourite apps. You no longer need to open a Twitter
app, find a photo to upload or copy links from your
web browser; simply do it directly from within the
app. Its so easy that your Twitter activity will increase
once you get to grips with it. In this tutorial, we guide
you through setting up Twitter integration, and how

youre faced with an abundance of options.
Since the early days of iOS, Apple has gradually
increased the amount of sharing services
available. Along with more traditional options
such as email and iMessage, theres a slew
of social networks available to share your
stuff to. The problem with all these methods,
though, is that they take a little while to set up
and theres a few taps and even some typing
involved in the sharing process. In other words,
sharing isnt simple.
Fortunately, iOS 7 brings with it a new
sharing option known as AirDrop. Although
AirDrop has been available on the Mac for
some time, its a brand new to the iPhone.
Using a combination of Bluetooth and
Wi-Fi, AirDrop allows you to quickly send files
to nearby compatible iOS devices. Its a fair
few steps less to share than any traditional
method and its incredibly fast, too. To make
the most of AirDrop, youll need to be running
iOS 7 on your iPhone 5s and be signed into
your iCloud account. Youll also need to have
another device within close proximity to share
to (ideally on the same Wi-Fi network for the
quickest transfer speeds). The transfer process
itself is actually quite painless, but the quick
guide provided below should equip you with
everything you need to know to get started.
Send files with AirDrop
Instantly transfer photos, contacts, notes and more with
Apples latest and greatest sharing feature
01 Select and share
Head into the Photos app and select an
image. From there, hit the share icon to
bring up the sharing menu for a few more
options including AirDrop itself.
02 Tap the avatar
Tap on the avatar of the device you want to
send your photo to. This will then display as
Waiting while a connection is made with
the other AirDrop-enabled device.
03 Watch it send
When the device youre AirDropping your
photo to accepts the transfer, youll see
its progress in the form of a loading bar
around the recipients avatar.
AirDrop Share from your iPhone in seconds

04 Not just photos
AirDrop isnt just for images; you can send
contact details, Passbook passes, videos and
more. Look for the AirDrop option in the
sharing menu of whatever youre sharing.
05 Accept or decline
When you receive an item thats been sent
via AirDrop, youll be shown a preview of it
and given the option to accept or decline
the name of the sender is also included.
06 An instant transfer
Should you choose to accept the AirDrop,
the transfer speeds are fast and youll
almost instantly be taken to the file you
received in its default app.
Turn it off
If youd rather not receive any AirDrop com-
munication at all, tap on AirDrop in Control
Center and then tap Off. This should stop
anyone from sending anything to you
Get connected
In order to work, AirDrop requires Bluetooth,
Wi-Fi or a combination of the two, so ensure
that both of these are enabled where possible
for the best transfer speeds
Open to all
Selecting Everyone means that anyone within
a close distance will be able to send you files
via AirDrop. You can still choose whether to
accept or decline them, though
Setting up
AirDrop
Find your optimum AirDrop
settings profile page options
Working with Macs
Despite AirDrop being available on both Mac
and iOS, it seems so far that the two cant
communicate with each other. In other words,
dont expect to be able to send files from your
iMac to your iPhone or vice versa. This could
all change in a software update, though.
Contacts only
If you set AirDrop up using the Contacts Only
option, as the name suggests, youll only
receive files via AirDrop from people saved as
contacts on your iPhone

Getting started
Find My iPhone is an app and service that
you will rarely use and is one that will likely
find its way to a folder hidden on one of
your home screens. This does not mean that it isnt
vitally important, however, because if you happen to
lose your phone you will be glad that you took the
time to set it up properly. In this tutorial we will show
you how to do this and what to do if you lose your
phone or have it stolen. It will be worth remembering
what to do if you need to take action quickly, but
dont put all of your faith in this service. You should
still use simple security measures like a passcode to
lock the front screen and take all of the usual
common sense precautions with a device that is
worth a lot of money. Find My iPhone is very useful,
but being careful is the ultimate solution.
Set up and use
Find My iPhone
Find My iPhone is a free service that can be used on any iOS
device, and it could save you a lot of money, time and hassle
Find My iPhone is a service that you will rarely
use. If you happen to lose your phone you will
be glad that you took the time to set it up
01 Download the app
Go to the App Store and search for Find My
iPhone. It is free to use and not very large so will
have little impact on your device. When installed,
open it.
02 Log in
The app will now ask you to log in in the usual
way with your Apple ID username and password
and will then show any iOS devices that you have
linked to that account.
03 Where is it?
Tapping on one of your devices will immediately
bring up its position. If you have more than one
device online, the app will show each of their
current locations.
Find My iPhone Be prepared with Find My iPhone

04 A handy feature
The Play Sound feature is found when you tap
a device on the map to play an alarm. This is a
useful feature if you lose a device locally and have
access to another.
05 Find your phone
If the worst happens, you should first go to https://
www.icloud.com/find and enter your Apple ID
details. Your phones location will now be displayed
on the screen.
06 Lost Mode
You can click on the iPhones location (or the
iPads, if thats what youre after) and select
Lost Mode to remotely lock your device with a
passcode to ensure nobdy sees whats on it.
07 If all else fails
You can take extreme measures. Select Erase
Phone, enter your Apple ID and a command will
be sent to completely erase the phone. This is a
good safety measure against identity theft.
08 Connectivity is needed
The device must be connected to the internet
for these measures to work, but you can set up
instructions to kick in as soon as it is connected,
safeguarding your data.
09 Use the satellite
Select the Satellite view to pinpoint your phones
location. This is particularly useful if reporting the
loss to the police who can then use the location
as a starting point.

The iPhone is magical, and a
major part of the magic is that
you can expand its capabilities
with cheap or even free apps. The App
Store has been a roaring success for
Apple, with over 775,000 applications to
choose from not to mention the $1
billion that it has made for developers.
The number and range of
applications on offer is quite stunning;
with applications to help you plan
large projects, word processors, web
browsers the list is endless. The
software tends to be incredibly good
value, too its amazing what your
iPhone can do with just a 99p investment.
Moreover, the fact that the App Store is
right there on your iPhone 5s means that
you can buy stuff on the go.
With the latest iOS 7 release, the
App Store has had a significant update.
Although it works in a very similar way to
the previous version, everything is now
simplified, with just a swipe or a tap to get
to what youre looking for. Its all just as
intuitive as before, though only smarter.
One of the best things about your iPhone 5s is that it can
be upgraded on the go. The App Store allows you to

Home screen Organise, close and delete apps
Apps are one of the main
things that make the iPhone 5s
so impressive.
The default apps that come pre-installed
cover most of the basics, but having
access to over 800,000 apps on the App
Store can turn your regular phone into the
ultimate multitasker and multimedia
device. Plus, with so many available for free
or under 1, it wont be long before you
find yourself filling up the space on your
Home screen.
Luckily, the iPhone 5s offers a number
of ways for you to organise your apps. One
of the main features is the ability to add
folders. This will allow you to group similar
apps together. With the folder only being
the size of one icon, you can open up a
lot of extra space on the Home screen.
Of course, you have complete control
over which apps go into the folders, so
you might even wish to make a folder of
regularly used apps so you have quick
access to the apps you use every day,
without having to scroll through screen
after screen to find what youre looking for.
There are also a few other things that
are worth knowing about apps, that we
cover here in the tutorial. From rearranging
their order, to deleting and fully closing,
being able to control your apps and make
them work best for you is an important
feature of the iPhone. Spend a bit of time
learning how best to manage your apps.
This will certainly pay dividends in the long
run. Well show you how to get started.
Manage your apps
01 Choose the apps
A downloaded apps icon will appear on the
Home screen. When youve purchased a lot of
apps, youll find yourself running out of space.

press and hold on one of the icons until it jiggles

Being able to download music and movies
on the go is one of the best things about
Apples devices, and this is especially true
of the iPhone 5s. With the enormous selection
available on the iTunes Store, youre unlikely to be lost
for something to suit your mood.
Its not just music and movies though, as you can
also download TV programmes, audiobooks and
podcasts. Theres even the iTunes U section, which
is full of excellent education resources. Coupled
with apps like Shazam, you can get the fantastic
experience of using your phone to identify a track by
listening to it, and then instantly hopping online to
buy your own copy.
Your purchases are automatically synced and
backed up to your copy of iTunes on your computer
whenever you connect the iPhone to it. This means
that youll be able to watch your movies on your
computer or Apple TV and, more importantly, that
youll have a guaranteed backup of everything
you purchase, just in case you lose your iPhone or
youre running out of storage space and have to
delete them from your phone.
To use iTunes on the iPhone you will need an
account to get going, but once that has been set up
you can buy songs, apps or movies wherever you
are. All you need is a credit card (or, failing that, some
iTunes gift cards).

favourite songs onto it via iTunes. However,
as youre likely to carry your precious iPhone around
wherever you go hopefully in a soft protective case
to keep it in pristine condition you have the freedom
to browse, download and store your favourite music
tracks onto it so that you can listen to them whenever
and wherever you fancy, without having to rely on
your CD music collection.
You no longer need to be chained to a home
computer thanks to the iPhones own iTunes app.
When you take a fancy to a song that you hear in
your local Wi-Fi-enabled coffee shop or over 3G, you
can fire up iTunes on the iPhone which has been
redesigned for iOS 6 search for the song on the
iTunes Store, and download it there and then. This is
also a great way of downloading just a single song
instead of having to purchase the whole album,
especially at a time where it seems CD singles are
limited to charity records or X Factor winners!
You will need to create an account with the iTunes
Store before you can buy and download music to your
iPhone, though.
Use iTunes to download

desktop computer and fire up its copy of iTunes.
The iPhone will appear under Devices at the left of
the iTunes screen. Go to File and choose Transfer

your desktop computers Library. You can now enjoy
your iPhone-purchased music on the move, or from
the comfort of your own home.
03 Find one you like
Once youve found an artist that you like, tap on them to be taken to a page
featuring their songs and albums. Likewise, you can use the search tab if you

The next step
There are some excellent television
programmes on offer in the iTunes Store
and there are even whole series with up
to two dozen episodes available. You can
easily watch old favourites again or catch up with
programmes and series you missed. The typical price
of a TV programme is just 1.89, but a series depends
on the number of episodes that are contained within
it, of course. It is always cheaper than buying them
individually, and sometimes the price per episode can
be as little as 50p.
The iTunes Store makes it easy to find entertaining
programmes and you can see featured ones, top
charts, the latest episodes and so on. There are
informative descriptions and useful reviews from other
people that purchased the programmes. The video
is downloaded to the phone and you can watch it at
anytime and anywhere, even standing at the bus stop.
As you would expect, the video quality is fantastic

With all the bells and whistles that the
iPhone has to offer, its easy to forget that
its also a very impressive iPod in its own
right. The interface is clean, simple, easy to manipulate
and great fun to play with, and the iOS 7 update has
given it a whole new look too.
The functionality is similar to the new-look iTunes
the key difference being the way you access and
change information. Its all done with a finger and, for
that reason, it feels a thousand times more intimate
than using the desktop version, and also makes it
much quicker too.
One of the first things you may want to do on
the iPhones Music app is create a playlist. The system
Apple has devised for this is really impressive. So
impressive, and fun, that youll want to sift through
an entire library and create one playlist after another.
Heres how

Music Create a playlist
01 Open and tap plus
Open the Music app. Now tap the Playlist tab
along the bottom. From the screen that appears,
select Add Playlist. On a side note, the Genius
Playlist will create a new playlist for you.
03 Save it
Give your playlist an appropriate name and then
tap the Save button. The playlist will then be
created in the Music app and a brand-new screen
will appear.
02 Type the title
A window appears allowing you to name the
playlist. The keyboard automatically springs up
from the bottom of the app, allowing you to
easily type in a suitable title.
The next step

Sync it
If you want to add songs from your
computers library, youll need to
sync your songs with the iPhone.
Otherwise you can purchase songs
from the mobile iTunes Store and
they will be added to the Music app
and synced back to your computer.

Across the top of your playlist
youll have options to edit and
delete, and when youve made any
changes, tap Done to finalise them
Bottom tabs
The Music app has buttons at the
bottom for you to access Genius,
Playlists, Artists, Songs and More
Edit
Once youve filled your
playlist, you can edit it to
your liking. This means
you can reorder songs by
dragging them up and
down, or tap the no entry
sign to remove them from
your playlist
04 Tap it out
Your whole library now appears in the main
window and you can tap on each song you wish
to appear in the library. Selected items get greyed
out so you dont pick them twice.
05 Done, drag, Done
Once youve picked your songs hit Done and then
go to Playlists. If you tap the Edit button in the
top-left corner of the screen you can change the
running order by dragging the tracks.
06 Play it, love it
When youre completely set on the order that you
want, all you have to do is hit the Done button
again and your playlist is ready to play and enjoy
at your leisure.

The next step
Genius works by searching through the
songs in your library and working out
which other tracks are similar. When you
choose a song to start a Genius playlist, iTunes pulls
out the other songs in your library that are in a similar
genre and put them into a playlist for you to listen
to immediately.
Here well take a look at creating a Genius playlist
based on your existing songs. Its best to think of a
playlist as a custom album. Using Genius is a great way
of getting more from your songs, and the process for
using the feature is quite simple; all you have to do is
a pick a song and iTunes will do the rest. The system
does use some data every now and then, as iTunes
receives data from Apple to work out which songs are
applicable to a given playlist, but it rarely needs to do
this and the information sent back and forth is small.
However, the result is playlists that you can create in
just a few seconds but can be made up of all kinds of
genres based entirely on you.
Create Genius
playlists on the go
Use Genius playlists to create fantastic playlists that are catered
exclusively to you with just a few taps
01 Turn on Genius
First of all, you need to turn on Genius. In iTunes,
click the Store menu, then scroll down and
choose the option for Turn On Genius to activate
the setting.
02 Sign In
Youll be asked to sign in with your Apple ID and
password so Apple can remember your playlists
for later. Accept the T&Cs and then plug in your
iPhone to sync it up.
03 Create Genius playlist
Now move to your iPhone. Launch the Music app
and tap the Playlists icon in the bar along the
bottom of the screen. Genius Playlist appears at
the top of the screen tap it now.
Music Spice up your music with a Genius playlist
Using Genius is a great way of getting
more from your songs

Save or Delete
When you create a new Genius playlist you
will see a Save option in the top-right. If you
tap this, the button will change to Delete,
allowing you to remove the playlist again
More playlists
You can have as many Genius playlists as
you want on one device. You know that
they are different to normal, user-created
playlists because of the Genius icon next
to the title. Genius playlists are 25 songs
long by default so you may want a lot
Refresh
You can refresh the Genius playlist
at any time, so if you add some new
music that matches the base song for
the playlist, refreshing may add the
new tracks. Its a great way of keeping
things interesting
Sheer Genius
The more tracks you have in your
library, the more varied your playlists
will be. Apple draws on information
from its millions of users to pick the
best songs for your track choice, so its
usually pretty good at choosing.
Edit playlist
Once youve saved a Genius playlist you can
start to play around with it, removing songs
you dont like, re-ordering the songs that
you do like, and adding more tracks if you
want to hear something different
04 Pick a song
Now you need to pick a song for the basis of your

iPhone 5s videos
01 Grab a film
The easiest way to obtain good quality content is via iTunes. Navigate to
the Films or TV Programmes section and choose the film or programme
you would like to rent or buy. You can also watch trailers for free to help you
determine whether the content is worth your money.
The iPhone 5s is perfectly designed for the mobile movie
experience thanks to its high-resolution screen, long battery
life and carry-anywhere form. Its time to make the most of it
The video feature adds an invaluable
use to the iPhone that could almost
justify half of its cost straight away
The iPhones video feature alone has
the potential to keep you occupied on
long plane journeys, in hotels or
waiting rooms. It adds an invaluable use to the
iPhone that could almost justify half of its cost
straight away. It has been designed for ease of
use, as most Apple software is, and takes care of
many of the niggles found in competing devices.
For example, it will automatically play a film
or television show from the point you left it, and
expanding the screen requires a simple double
tap. Everything is designed to help you get the
most from the experience, but some tips are still
useful to get you off to a flying start.
In this tutorial, we will show you how to obtain
new movies and television programmes, how to
transfer them to your iPhone and how to make
the most of the viewing experience. You could
easily do all of this yourself, but a little knowledge
goes a long way and missing out on the movie
capabilities of the iPhone would be a real shame,
given the benefits it offers.
02 Put it on the iPhone
The most stable method of moving films to your iPhone is to choose
Manually manage music and video in the iPhone summary screen, just above
the Reset Warnings tab in iTunes. You can then just drag new films over to
your iPhone in the left-hand column when you want to.

The release of iOS 5 a while back brought

Its very easy to get lost in a world of crazy
apps and multi-touch gestures, but the
iPhone 5s is a fantastic ebook reader. It
obviously has a number of advantages over the Kindle
in that it can do a great deal more than a dedicated
device, but on a purely ebook-reading scale, the
iPhone is still one of the most advanced out there,
especially for its size.
Whats more is that Apple already has a tried and
tested way to deliver eBooks directly to its device:
namely the iTunes Store. Apple hasnt just bundled
the new books into that system, though, because its
created a separate space for these so that users can be
absolutely sure of what they are downloading.
Once you have downloaded the app, iBooks holds
all of your ebooks, and from there you can access
the custom-built iBooks Store to make purchases,
which get downloaded directly onto your iPhone.
The system is magnificent in its simplicity and, like the
App Store, it makes impulse buys a regular occurrence.
This tutorial will take you through your first download
from iBooks so that you can get a feel for the system.
Its then up to you to resist buying a librarys worth of
content on each visit.

iPhoto for the iPhone 5s includes a lot of
advanced functionality that brings true
desktop-style photo management to the
palm of your hand. It also includes a journal feature
that you may not be aware of, but it is extremely
powerful and will come in handy whenever you need
to keep a record of a trip to look back on later. The
idea is that you can simply select images on the
iPhone and have them merged together into a journal
to share with others. It is sort of like a professional and
interactive slideshow tool which does away with the
need for expertise or the huge amount of time spent
getting every little part to look just right. The software
does the work for you, but still gives you back enough
control to make the resultant journal as personal as
it is possible to be.
Here we will show you how to create your first
journal. However, as you experiment, you will realise
that there are many options open to you that let
you bundle in all sorts of content into your journals.
Photos, notes, locations, diary entries, the weather
and so much more can be merged together into one
personal record of a trip. With a variety of themes to
choose from as well, all thats left is for you to spend
some time with iPhoto and enjoy creating the perfect
travel journal of your recent trips.

You can view your journal as a
slideshow via this button or send
it to iCloud and iTunes. Every
journal can be backed up and
shared with a couple of taps
Be patient
A lot of processing power is
required to create journals
in a way that means the user
does not have to spend hours
manipulating them. As such, you
can expect the occasional wait
while the work is done. However,
the results here are always worth
waiting for.
The ultimate editor
Each photo can be resized
and edited and, as they are
manipulated, the other photos will
automatically move out of the way
and create a look that works
Notes and the rest
You can add notes
to your journal and
also include many
other inserts such as
the location, weather,
quotes and much more
to bring back all of your
travel memories
