iPhone: My Favorite Search Tip

Are you a flipper?

A page flipper, that is, to find your apps.

I used to be one, too, until a fateful day when someone at the Apple store showed me the quickest way I never knew to find my apps. 

This search tip will find your apps, sure. But it can also find anyone in your contacts, and even search the web! Best of all, it just takes one gesture:

1. From the Home Screen of your iPhone, swipe down in the middle of the screen.

That’s it! The screen that pops up will allow you to type in the name of your app, and it usually only takes the first few letters for Siri to guess what you’re looking for and put it right up at the top. So fast!
