Multi-Touch screen

Sleep/Wake

button

Sleep/Wake

button

A few simple gestures—tap, drag, swipe, and pinch/spread—are all you need to use iPhone and
its apps.

Buttons

Most of the buttons you use with iPhone are virtual ones on the touchscreen. A few physical
buttons control basic functions, such as turning iPhone on or adjusting the volume.

Sleep/Wake button

When you’re not using iPhone, press the Sleep/Wake button to lock iPhone. Locking iPhone puts
the display to sleep, saves the battery, and prevents anything from happening if you touch the

screen. You can still get phone calls, FaceTime calls, text messages, alarms, and notications. You

can also listen to music and adjust the volume.

On iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, the Sleep/Wake button is on the right side:

Sleep/Wake

button

On earlier iPhone models, the Sleep/Wake button is on the top edge:

For additional security, you can require a passcode to unlock iPhone. Go to Settings > Touch ID
& Passcode (iPhone models with Touch ID) or Settings > Passcode (other models). See Use a

passcode with data protection on page 43.

Home button

The Home button takes you to the Home screen, and provides other convenient shortcuts.

See apps you’ve opened. Double-click the Home button. See Start at home on page 22.

Use Siri (iPhone 4s or later) or Voice Control. Press and hold the Home button. See Voice

Control on page 32 and Chapter 4, Siri, on page 47.

On iPhone models with Touch ID, you can use the sensor in the Home button to read your

ngerprint, instead of using your passcode or Apple ID password for unlocking iPhone or making

purchases in the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store. See Touch ID sensor on page 44.

You can also use the Home button to turn accessibility features on or o. See Accessibility

Shortcut on page 139.

Volume controls

When you’re on the phone or listening to songs, movies, or other media, the buttons on the side
of iPhone adjust the audio volume. Otherwise, the buttons control the volume for the ringer,

alerts, and other sound eects.

WARNING: For important information about avoiding hearing loss, see Important safety

information on page 168.

Volume

Volume
down

Lock the ringer and alert volumes. Go to Settings > Sounds and turn o “Change with Buttons.”

To limit the volume for music and videos, go to Settings > Music > Volume Limit.

Note: In some European Union (EU) countries, iPhone may warn that you’re setting the volume
above the EU recommended level for hearing safety. To increase the volume beyond this level,

you may need to briey release the volume control. To limit the maximum headset volume

to this level, go to Settings > Music > Volume Limit and turn on EU Volume Limit. To prevent
changes to the volume limit, go to Settings > General > Restrictions.

AirPort base station.” Tap your base station and the Setup Assistant will do the rest.

Manage an AirPort network. If iPhone is connected to an AirPort base station, go to Settings >
Wi-Fi, tap next to the network name, then tap “Manage this Network.” If you haven’t yet

Manage content on your iOS devices

You can transfer information and les between your iOS devices and computers, using iCloud

or iTunes.

•

iCloud stores your photos and videos, documents, music, calendars, contacts, and more. It all
gets pushed wirelessly to your other iOS devices and computers, keeping everything up to
date. See iCloud on page 17.

•

iTunes syncs music, videos, photos, and more, between your computer and iPhone. Changes
you make on one device are copied to the other when you sync. You can also use iTunes to

sync les and documents. See Sync with iTunes on page 19.

You can use iCloud or iTunes, or both, depending on your needs. For example, you can use
iCloud to automatically keep your contacts and calendars up to date on all your devices, and use
iTunes to sync music from your computer to iPhone.

Important: To avoid duplicates, keep contacts, calendars, and notes in sync using iCloud or

iTunes, but not both.

You can also manually manage content from iTunes, in the device’s Summary pane. This lets you
add songs and videos, by choosing a song, video, or playlist from your iTunes library and then
dragging it to your iPhone in iTunes. This is useful if your iTunes library contains more items than

can t on your device.

Sync with iTunes

Syncing with iTunes copies information from your computer to iPhone, and vice versa. You can
sync by connecting iPhone to your computer, or you can set up iTunes to sync wirelessly with
Wi-Fi. You can set iTunes to sync music, videos, apps, photos, and more. For help syncing iPhone,
open iTunes on your computer, choose Help > iTunes Help, then select Sync your iPod, iPhone,
or iPad.

Sync wirelessly. Connect iPhone. Then in iTunes on your computer, select your iPhone, click

Summary, and select “Sync with this iPhone over Wi-Fi.”

If Wi-Fi syncing is turned on, iPhone syncs when it’s connected to a power source, both iPhone
and your computer are on and connected to the same wireless network, and iTunes is open on
your computer.

Tips for syncing with iTunes on your computer

Connect iPhone to your computer, select it in iTunes, and set options in the dierent panes.

•

In the Summary pane, you can set iTunes to automatically sync iPhone when it’s attached to
your computer. To temporarily override this setting, hold down Command and Option (Mac) or
Shift and Control (PC) until you see iPhone appear in the iTunes window.

•

In the Summary pane, select “Encrypt iPhone backup” if you want to encrypt the information

stored on your computer when iTunes makes a backup. Encrypted backups are indicated by
a lock icon , and a password is required to restore the backup. If you don’t select this option,
other passwords (such as those for mail accounts) aren’t included in the backup and you’ll
have to reenter them if you use the backup to restore iPhone.

•

In the Info pane, when you sync mail accounts, only the settings are transferred from your

computer to iPhone. Changes you make to a mail account on iPhone don’t aect the account

on your computer.

•

In the Info pane, click Advanced to select options that let you replace the information on
iPhone with the information from your computer during the next sync.

Chapter 2 Getting Started 19

•

In the Music pane, you can sync music using your playlists.

•

In the Photos pane, you can sync photos and videos from a supported app or folder on
your computer.

•

If you use iCloud to store your contacts, calendars, and bookmarks, don’t also sync them to
iPhone using iTunes.

Family Sharing

With Family Sharing, up to six family members can share their iTunes Store, iBooks Store, and
App Store purchases, a family calendar, and family photos, all without sharing accounts.

One adult in your household—the family organizer—invites family members to join the family
group and agrees to pay for any iTunes Store, iBooks Store, and App Store purchases those family
members initiate while part of the family group. Once set up, family members get immediate
access to each other’s music, movies, TV shows, books, and eligible apps. In addition, family
members can easily share photos in a shared family album, add events to a family calendar,
share their location with other family members, and even help locate another family member’s
missing device.

Children under 13 can participate in Family Sharing, too. As a parent or legal guardian, the family
organizer can provide parental consent for a child to have his or her own Apple ID, and create it
on the child’s behalf. Once the account is created, it’s added to the family group automatically.

Family Sharing requires you to sign in to iCloud with your Apple ID. You will also be asked to

conrm the Apple ID you use for the iTunes Store, iBooks Store, and App Store. It is available on

devices with iOS 8, Mac computers with OS X Yosemite, and PCs with iCloud for Windows 4.0. You
can be part of only one family group at a time.

instructions to set up Family Sharing as the family organizer, then invite family members to join.

Create an Apple ID for a child. Tap Settings > iCloud > Family, scroll to the bottom of the screen,
then tap Create an Apple ID for a child.

Accept an invitation to Family Sharing. Make sure you are signed into iCloud, and that you can
accept a Family Sharing invitation from your iOS device (iOS 8 required), Mac (OS X Yosemite
required), or PC (iCloud for Windows 4.0 required). Or, if the organizer is nearby during the setup
process, he or she can simply ask you to enter the Apple ID and password you use for iCloud.

Access shared iTunes Store, iBooks Store, and App Store purchases. Open iTunes Store, iBooks
Store, or App Store, tap Purchased, then choose a family member from the menu that appears.

Chapter 3 Basics 37

When a family member makes a purchase, it is billed directly to the family organizer’s account.
Once purchased, the item is added to the initiating family member’s account and is shared with
the rest of the family. If Family Sharing is ever disabled, each person keeps the items they chose
to purchase—even if they were paid for by the family organizer.

Turn on Ask to Buy. The family organizer can require young family members to request approval
for purchases or free downloads. Go to Settings > iCloud > Family, then tap the person’s name.

Note: Age restrictions for Ask to Buy vary by area. In the United States, the family organizer can
enable Ask to Buy for any family member under age 18; for children under age 13, it’s enabled
by default.

Hide your iTunes Store, iBooks Store, and App Store purchases. Open iTunes on your computer,
then click iTunes Store. Under Quick Links, click Purchased, then choose the content type
(for example, Music or Movies). Hover over the item you want to hide, then click . To make
purchases visible again, return to Quick Links, then click Account. Scroll down to iTunes in the
Cloud, then click Manage (to the right of Hidden Purchases).

“Family” is automatically created in the Calendar app on all family members’ devices. To add a

family event, open the Calendar app, create an event, then choose to add the event to the family
calendar. See Share iCloud calendars on page 81.

Set up a family reminder. When you set up Family Sharing, a shared list is automatically created
in the Reminders app on all family members’ devices. To add a reminder to the family list, open
the Reminders app, tap the family list, then add a reminder to the list. See Reminders at a

glance on page 104.

Share your location with family members. Family members can share their location by tapping

Settings > iCloud > Share My Location. To nd a family member’s location, use the Find My

Friends app (download it for free from the App Store). Or, use the Messages app (iOS 8 required).
For more information about using Messages to share or view locations, see Share photos, videos,

your location, and more on page 77.

the U.S., you can say “eight hundred.”

Call over Wi-Fi. (Not available in all areas. iPhone 5c, iPhone 5s, or later.) To route calls over
Wi-Fi, go to Settings > Phone, then turn on Wi-Fi Calling. On iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, if the
Wi-Fi connection is lost, calls switch automatically to your carrier’s cellular network using VoLTE
(Voice over LTE), if available. (VoLTE calls also switch to Wi-Fi when a Wi-Fi connection becomes
available.) On earlier models, a call is dropped if you lose the Wi-Fi connection. Contact your
carrier for feature availability.

Call from your iPad, iPod touch, or Mac. Tap or click a phone number in Contacts, Calendar, or
Safari, or from a recent contact in the multitasking screen. The device must be connected to
the same Wi-Fi network and, along with your iPhone, signed into FaceTime and iCloud using
the same Apple ID. Your iPad or iPod touch must be using iOS 8; your Mac must be using
OS X Yosemite. The call is made via iPhone, which must be on and connected to a cellular
network. Cellular charges may apply.

SMS, MMS, and iMessage

Messages lets you exchange text messages with other SMS and MMS devices using your cellular
connection, and with other iOS devices and Mac computers using iMessage.

iMessage is an Apple feature that lets you send messages over Wi-Fi (or cellular connections) to
others using iOS 5 or later, or OS X Mountain Lion or later. Messages you send using iMessage
don’t count against your text messaging plan with your carrier. Messages can include photos,
videos, and other info. You can see when other people are typing, and let them know when
you’ve read their messages. If you’re signed into iMessage using the same Apple ID on other
iOS devices or a Mac (OS X Mavericks or later), you can start a conversation on one device and
continue it on another. For security, messages you send with iMessage are encrypted before
they’re sent.

If you have other iOS 8 devices that are signed into iMessage with the same Apple ID as your
iPhone, you can also send and receive SMS and MMS messages with those devices. Similarly,
you can send and receive SMS and MMS messages with the Messages app on a Mac with OS X
Yosemite, if it is signed into iMessage using the same Apple ID as your iPhone. Cellular charges
may apply to your iPhone.
