iPhone Tip: How to e-mail, copy and delete multiple pictures

If you have an iPhone with OS 3.0 or even better the iPhone 3GS you know this upgrade has brought some cool features that all of us iPhone fanatics have been waiting for. In this post I'm going to give you two tips in one and these are related to the new features so enjoy.

Until this upgrade you were only able to e-mail or delete one picture at a time which was kind of a pain especially if you took lots of pictures.

Well with OS 3.0 you can now not only delete multiple pictures, you can also copy and better yet e-mail multiple pictures.

Tip 1:

To e-mail multiple pictures:

1. Press the action arrow at the bottom of the photo album.

2. Touch select up to 5 pictures (you can only share up to 5 pictures at a time).

3. Press the Share button.




4. Press Email and you'll be taken into your default e-mail account in which your pictures will be added. All you have to do is add the recipient's e-mail address, the subject and press send.

To delete pictures:

1. Follow the steps 1-2, and then press Delete.


2. Press Delete Selected Items.


To copy pictures:

1. Follow steps 1-2, and then press Copy.

After you copy the pictures go to the application you want to use and paste them and that's it.



Tip 2:

If you noticed above you can only e-mail up to 5 pictures using the Share button but guess what? You can copy more than 5 pictures using the Copy button so in a way you can e-mail more than 5 pictures at a time.

To do this just copy the number of pictures you want from your photo album, and then go to your e-mail inbox and paste the pictures.

You see, where there is a will there is a way :O)

iPhone Tip: How to extend your battery life

Have you noticed your iPhone battery doesn't last too long? One quick thing you can do to extend the battery life is to turn off Bluetooth. If you're not using a hands free kit, then you don't need to have Bluetooth turned on.

To turn it off go to Settings and General.


Tab Bluetooth and slide the button to OFF.


Bluetooth drains your battery so if you don't need it, don't turn it on :O)

iPhone Tip: How to share links on your iPhone

Have you ever been surfing the Internet on your iPhone and stumble across a website you know one of your friends would like?

No problem, by pressing the plus sign (+) at the bottom of your Safari page and then tapping the Mail Link to this page you can share an e-mail link.


This will automatically start an e-mail in your default e-mail inbox, pre-populate the Subject line with the site name (depends on how the site is set up) and it will add the link in the body of the e-mail.


All you have to do is basically enter the recipient's e-mail address (s) and press Send. You can also add a message in the body of the e-mail but that's optional.

iPhone Tip: Surfing the Internet with less keystrokes

When surfing the Internet on your iPhone you can omit part of the web address and still get to where you need to. For example, if you want to go to http://www.gmail.com/, you can omit the www and also the .com portion:

Your iPhone is so smart that it will direct you to http://www.gmail.com/.

Another quick tip:

When you need to visit a .edu, .org or .net site you can press down the .com key and it will display these other options which will avoid some extra keystrokes.
