Raskova when it comes up with the alternative, it usually has a little cross next to it so you can delete it if you don't want it.

I am loving some of these tips but I can't find the multitasking setting and I want to try it.

Brilliant thread.

If you've got the iPhone set to rotate between portrait and landscape as you move it, but want to carry on reading in "landscape" while lying in bed, hold it with the home key facing up and it will stay in "landscape".

Didn't know that re clock and now I am looking at it and the second hand is moving and I can't believe I didn't notice that before!

On my old iPhone 4S (2011) the calendar would highlight the days when I had created events. My new 4s (2014) doesn't do this. I have to click on each individual day.

How do you do the autocomplete thing? Would be v handy.

If you want to send multiple photos in an email use the select key in photos and then click the email button as normal :)
