Do you know this iPhone's shortcuts?

• Taking Screenshots
You can do screen captures of whatever is on the screen. Press and hold the Sleep button while tapping the Home button. The picture will be added to your camera roll.

• Wake up with iPod
Turn on your music the instant you wake the screen. It can be done by press the Home button to wake the screen. Then double-click the Home button to bring up a set of mini-iPod controls. What music you were last listening to comes up. Click on play to continue with the music. This shortcut works even if you have already configured the Home button double-click to do something else.

• Mute the Ringer
If your iPhone rings at the wrong moment, mute it quickly by either pressing the Home or Volume button.

• Precision zooming
If you just cannot get your thumb and index finger to work together, try holding down your thumb on the screen while swiping your index finger back and forth.

• Steady on there
Having shaky pictures or problem finding the camera button? By pressing and holding down the shutter button before framing the shot & when you are good and ready, let go of the button to shoot.

• Educating the dictionary
To add a new word, just type it when you compose a message and it will be saved.

• Speedy scrolling
Skip the hassle of swiping your way to the top of an application. Some apps like Safari, Messages and Contacts return you to the top of the page when the time display is pressed.

• Press & hold it there
Surprises are aplenty on the iPhone's keyboard. Press and hold down the '.com' button and you will see options like '.org', '.edu' and even '.co.uk'. This also works on individual letters like 'A' which will display accent options (á, â, ã, å, æ, ä).

• Punctuate faster
The old-fashioned three-step way to punctuate is to press the '@123' key, select a punctuation symbol and press the 'ABC' button to return to the Qwerty keyboard. You can speed it up by holding down the '@123' button and sliding your finger to the required symbol, then releasing it. The Qwerty keyboard will now reappear. That is just a one button press.
