Even though Apple dished out a bunch of useful improvements and enhancements with the big iOS 7 update, there are still certain aspects that could well be improved. In fact, given how there's still no way to quickly compose or reply to a message without stepping away from the current task at hand, we'd go as far as to say that iOS is still significantly bereft in several key areas, and whilst such functionality can be readily achieved via jailbreak, it's always better to have these options at stock level. One wily iOS user has found a makeshift way of quick-replying to and composing messages without having to jump to the Messages app every time, and although it's somewhat limited, we also think its pretty neat.
For whatever reason, it may be that you wish to make a call from your iPhone, but don't wish to divulge your phone number. Some of you will surely be familiar with the steps involved in this process of obscuring your caller ID, but for those who aren't, we've got a little step-by-step tutorial below.
The iPhone and iPad are among the mobile industry's sturdiest exports, but it's not without its fair share of issues. The sleep/wake button, for example, which sits atop the device, is susceptible to breaking, sticking, or just generally ceasing to function. If you encounter this issue, then the only option is to go either try your hand at fixing it, or taking the sensible option of getting it repaired, by Apple. But if you don't have the time or immediate funds to take a whimsical trip to an Apple Store, then here's how you can still utilize the button's functions even when it's MIA.
iOS 7.1, which Apple finally released to iPhone, iPad and iPod touch users earlier on the month, brought with it a plethora of changes and enhancements including improvements to Siri, iTunes Radio and the introduction of CarPlay. But where iOS 7.1 giveth, iOS 7.1 also taketh away, and as well as plugging the Evasi0n jailbreak, the latest firmware also appeared to prevent a mistake of a feature that allowed for nested folders on the home screen. Now, though, there's a handy little workaround, and although it does require a little bit of extra effort, still does the same job.
With iOS 7, Apple decided that it would take a more personal approach to names. You may have noticed it yourself. You receive an iMessage or a plain text message for example, and in the message conversation you notice that the name is displayed as just the sender's first name, rather than their full name. Which is fine, so long as you only have one person that you converse with that has that name.
The addition of Control Center to iOS 7 is probably one of the biggest new features that the iPhone and iPad operating system received. It's true that iOS 7 saw all kinds of changes, some more obvious than others and some under the hood, but being able to get quick access to certain apps as well as some system toggles has quite literally changed the way some of us use our devices.
Managing email on the go is a lot easier than it used to be thanks to the slick, practical interfaces of our smartphones and tablets, but as powerful as the apps and hardware may be, things can sometimes border tedious. Searching for an old email in the stock iOS Mail app is almost always a cumbersome affair if you happen to have forgotten those key search terms that would locate it with little or no trouble, but since you're stumped on that one, you're left hopelessly trawling through tens of thousands of old, mostly useless emails. We did some digging and it turns out that finding an old, important mail is actually not that difficult at all.
