Turn on the Camera Grid

The iPhone camera features a grid mode that is handy for composing photos. Photographers use the rule of thirds to compose a shot and draw a viewer’s eyes to the point of focus. This setting makes it easier to line up a shot.

Turn on the grid mode to align photos better.

To turn it on open Camera -> Tap Options -> Grid to On.
The grid lines do not show up on the final photo. To learn more about how you can use this, check out this guide on the rule of thirds.

Send iMessage as a Text Automatically

iMessage is a great way to avoid text message charges, but when it goes own users can end up with a bunch of unsent messages. This is annoying, but users can make sure messages go through without any manual intervention required.
Go to Settings -> Messages -> Send as SMS -> On.
This quick toggle will make sure messages send as a text if iMessage fails. It may add a few cents to a monthly bill for users who don’t have a text plan, but it’s worth it for many users who can’t afford to let a work message slip because iMessage is down.

Use an On Screen Home Button

The iPhone home button is one of the first parts to wear out for many users, and others find it too noisy to use in meetings or while next to someone in bed.

Put a home button on the iPhone screen.

Apple includes a way to place an on-screen home button on the iPhone 5 home screen. Users can put the home button anywhere on the screen and use it inside of any app.
To turn this on go to Settings -> General -> Accessibility -> AssistiveTouch -> On.
It’s also a good idea to set a home button triple click to toggle this setting so it’s easy to hide the on-screen home button. Once setup, users can tap this button to access the home button, Siri, and to change other device functions.

Turn on Find My iPhone

Apple includes a Find My iPhone feature in the iPhone 5 that helps users track down a lost or stolen iPhone using the phone’s GPS and signal.
Turning on Find My iPhone won’t guarantee a safe return, but it is an easy way to add peace of mind and to wipe a phone if it does disappear.
To do this go to Settings -> iCloud -> FInd My iPhone -> On.
Once this is enabled, users can track down an iPhone using another iOS device. Once tracked, they can play a sound, enter Lost mode or erase the device. Lost mode allows a user to set a passcode, enter a phone number and send a message to the thief or good Samaritan.

Add the Emoji Keyboard

Do you want to be able to send advanced emoticons on the iPhone? The emoji keyboard delivers row after row of special emoticons that will show up on
other iPhones to deliver funny and lively messages.
To add the Emoji keyboard go to Settings -> General -> Keyboard -> Keyboards -> Add New Keyboard -> Emoji
Keep in mind the Emoji icons don’t show up correctly on many Android and other phones, so it’s best to keep these simple unless sending to other iPhone or iPad users.

Turn Siri on When Picking Up the iPhone 5

To use Siri without pressing the home button, users can turn on a setting that will make 


Siri automatically launch picking up the iPhone 5.


The iPhone automatically senses that the device is being picked up and when the proximity sensor

indicates it is next to a head, like with a phone call, it will automatically start Siri.

To turn this on go to Settings -> General -> Siri -> turn Raise to Speak On

This menu also lets users choose a language, contact information and toggle Siri on or off. Just be

careful using this setting if you share your phone and have Siri calling you anything potentially embarrassing.

Monitor Data Usage on the iPhone 5

With unlimited data a thing of the past for most users, monitoring the amount of data used on an iPhone can mean the difference between a normal bill and one with a nasty surprise.
While most carriers will send data usage alerts, which allow users to increase their data allowance for one month, users can check this at any time using the settings of the iPhone,
Go to Settings -> General -> Usage -> Cellular Usage.
Unfortunately this method requires users to reset the data monitor at the end of the month. Unlike Android there is no built-in warning or identification of apps that are using the most data. Users can use apps from Verizon, AT&T and Sprint to check data usage for the official numbers.
For a more automatic method, check out Data Usage, a $.99 app that tracks data used without the user needing to reset it every billing cycle.

Automatically Download Apps & More

Users who purchase apps on their computer or who also have an iPad or iPod touch will appreciate the ability to automatically download new apps, music and books to the iPhone 5.
Go to Settings -> iTunes & App Stores -> Automatic Downloads.
From here pick between Apps, Books and Music and choose if they should download over cellular networks. Users who buy a lot of music and don’t have unlimited data may want to leave “Use Cellular Data” marked Off.
From here, any music, apps or books purchased on the iTunes account will automatically show up on the iPhone 5.

Open Apps With Siri

The iPhone 5 ships with Siri which users may use to set appointments, send text messages and make calls, but Siri can do much more. One of the best new Siri features in iOS 6 is the ability to open apps.
Hold the home button for two seconds to start Siri and then say, “Open App Name” and Siri will open the app.

Open apps with Siri.

Some apps will not open when the device is locked, but other than that, users can open any app on the iPhone with their voice. This is handy for using the iPhone in a car, while exercising or when you only have one hand free.

Show Battery Percentage

Users who want to know exactly how much iPhone 5 battery life they have left can turn on battery percent, which will place a small battery percentage indicator in the upper right.
It’s easy to obsess over this number, so some users may not want to see this level of detail, but for users who find the iPhone 5 battery life is too short, this will help make it clear if it is time to charge up in the middle of the day.
Read: How to Get Better iPhone 5 Battery Life
To turn on battery percentage on the iPhone 5, go to Settings -> General -> Usage -> Scroll Down -> Toggle Battery Percentage On. Once on, it’s much easier to see if the iPhone has 70% battery life left or 51%, so you can avoid running out of battery life by charging when near a cable.

Get an LED Alert for Calls and Texts

Former Android users may miss the LED alerts that let them know a call or text is coming in. The iPhone 5 doesn’t add a notification LED, but it is possible to use the camera flash as an improvised notification alert.

Use the iPhone 5 flash as an LED alert for calls and texts.

Tap on Settings -> General -> Accessibility -> LED Flash for Alerts -> On to enable this feature.
A word of warning, it is bright and may not fit in with your sleeping habits or in a meeting, but in loud environments it’s the best way to see a call or text on the iPhone.

Iphone 5 Get Better Reception

The iPhone 5 features LTE which delivers blazing fast download speeds, but it can also cut battery life and in some situations leave users with a phone that can’t connect. While traveling in New York, we turned off LTE and went form no signal to full coverage in 3G.

Turn off 4G LTE to save battery life and get better coverage.

This is slower, but it turned the iPhone 5 from an unusable LTE smartphone to one with a slower, reliable 3G signal. To do this, go to Settings -> General -> Cellular -> Enable LTE to Off. More on how to turn off LTE on the iPhone 5.
