Apple introduced its latest version of iOS7 for its iPad and iPhone devices. The tech press has covered the new operating system in great detail. However that doesn’t mean there aren’t tricks that you can’t learn to help make your iOS7 experience better. Luckily for us, Entrepreneur magazine just recently wrote a story talking about several iOS7 tricks that will make your mobile experience better.
More texting info
Do you ever have to know when somebody sent you that important text message? It’s simple to uncover with iOS7. Simply swipe from right to left on your screen’s list of text messages. Once you do, you will see the exact time that the text message came in.
Multi-functional
iOS7’s compass app is a particularly handy tool if you’re unsure if you’re driving south or north. But Entrepreneur highlights an additional use of this app: You can transform it into a leveling device. Once your compass app is open, swipe to the next page. A leveling app will appear. And, yes, you can use it to make sure that kitchen shelf you are hanging is really level.
Spotlight
Want to search for something on your iPad or iPhone? You should know that iOS7’s “search” function has evolved. Apple now calls it “spotlight.” You can use this function to search for text messages, e-mail messages, contacts, songs, video files and apps.
