By Arnold Miranda

By applying the tips in the piece that follows, you will be off to a great start.

Take screenshots of websites or apps that you want to have later. Just tap the Sleep button while you are holding down the Home button. Doing so creates a screenshot of whatever you are currently viewing so that you can retrieve it from your Camera Roll later on in the day or week.

Customize your iPhone sounds. Apple has finally added the possibility of selecting your own sounds and noises for alarms, alerts and incoming calls. Check out all the options in the Sounds menu. Or, go to the Buy More Tunes option for access to the iTunes marketplace for more sounds you can browse and buy.

Go into iCloud in the settings of your iPhone and click on Manage Storage and then again on the device backup of the device. There you'll see backup options that you can toggle on and off, all of which can save you space.
