This week I am going to talk iPhones, I have some tips, and a great app.
For those of you reading that have iPhones, whether it be a 3gs, 4 or 4s (sorry 3 owners) an iPad or iPod touch, there is a great free application called "Find my Friends", this app allows you to see the exact location of a friend with the same app installed. I'm talking right down to an address!, I don't know how many times I have sat at the bus stop waiting for my daughter wondering where her bus is, well now I can find out in an instant.
You and your friends need to have your phone on operating system ios 5 or later, with location services turned on, and an iCloud ID. You then select a contact who you want to find, and send them an invite to be seen by you, once they accept, they will show up on your phone!. For them to then see you, they must send you an invite. You can set it to be only temporary, or turn it off or on as you please, you can even have it set so that you are able to see other people, but your phone shows up as not available.
I have heard it has already broken up 1 marriage, but think of the benefits, when you are meeting friends, shopping, kids are out at night!. It is a really great app.
A quick lesson on the batteries that are in the latest phones, laptops, cameras etc, "Lithium-ion batteries". These batteries do not have a memory like the old style used to, they work much better if they are kept topped up, ideally between 50-75%. Only once in a while it is good to drain them right down so that the device they are in can reset its markers of the battery levels.
Another good practice is to turn your iPhone off from time to time, I do mine once a week or so. Your phone is a computer, and things get moved around, extra bits get loaded, over time this can cause the phone to become sluggish or it may cause the screen to freeze. If you turn your phone off and back on, it resets itself, dumps some of the rubbish and is good to go again!.
