That’s why these tips have been compiled to help you get the upper hand. Our Apple tutorials and app tutorials will help you get the upper hand. If you’re and Android user, then you should also keep reading as some of the tips could also be classed as Android tutorials and will benefit you too!

Rearranging your Apps
Are you tired of having to scroll through pages of apps to simply find one short game? Well luckily for you, you can not only rearrange their order, but also group them in folders.
To move an app all you have to do is simply tap and hold the icon you want to move, and after a tiny wait you’ll be able to drag it around the screen and place it on any page you like.
To create a folder, all you have to do is follow the steps above, but then place the icon on top of another. This will group the two together in folder which you can rename. Each folder can hold over ten apps each so you no longer need to search through pages of apps to find your favourites.

Saving Images from the Internet
Ever found an online image that you thought would make a great background but you had no idea how to save the image? Sure you have. Here’s a simple way to solve that problem and save an image from the internet.

By simply tapping and holding an image, you’ll be prompted to save the image. This will then be placed into your pictures library.

Typing Faster
This is a tip for those who send a lot of emails or make a lot of notes.
When you reach the end of a sentence, instead of losing momentum in your typing searching for the period, you can simply double tap the space bar. That will insert a period followed by a space so you can keep on typing.

This trick also works on most other phones including Androids and Blackberry.

Taking a Screenshot
Whether you need a picture of the greatest Angry Birds score you’ve ever had, or of someone goofing off on Facetime, you’ll be pleased to know you can take of screenshot extremely easily.

By pushing the Home and Lock button simultaneously, you will take a picture of the current screen which will then be saved into your picture library. Voilà, now you have immortalised your friend’s goofy face on your iPad or other device.
