Getting Started
In Chapter 6, “Making Your iPhone Work for You,” you learned how to change many aspects of how your iPhone works, the most significant of which were configuring notifications and choosing a ringtone. This chapter focuses on how you can change the way your iPhone looks and is organized. You learn how to customize your iPhone in two major groups of tasks:
Home screens—The iPhone’s Home screens are the starting point for most everything you do because these screens contain the icons that you tap to access the apps that you want to use. You see and use the Home screens constantly, so it’s a good idea to customize them to your preferences. You can place icons on specific screens, and you can use folders to make your Home screens work better for you.
Appearance, screen brightness, Auto-Lock, Raise to Wake, text, view, and wallpaper options—There are a number of ways you can change how your iPhone’s screen looks and works. For example, you can set its brightness level and text size.
