iOS 5 secrets

14 Oct 2011

Now that iOS 5 has landed and we're all playing with our shiny new iPhone 4Ss, everyone's enjoying the new pull-down notifications, quick-camera access and Apple's iCloud.

There's more to iOS 5, though. The iPhone is now more customisable than ever before. Here are our favourite little extras.

Customise your alerts

You can now, in a BlackBerry style-way, set your LED flash to act as an alert for when you receive a message or call. But Apple has taken it further, letting you use different vibrations for different alerts – so when your mate uploads a new planking photo to Facebook you’ll know to ignore it. You can even make your own custom vibrations.

You can also use Assistive Touch – which isn’t for the disabled only, despite its name – to set certain gestures to do what you want, like a side-to-side swipe to turn off the screen.

    An iPhone features as a camera phone, such as textual content messages and vision voicemail messages, a mobile advertising player, and an Internet customer, with e-mail, web surfing around, and Wi-Fi connection. The program is built around the lamps multi-touch screen, with a online key pad rather than a physical one. phlebotomy
