Get Started
Notify Me While your
device is locked, any
new notification you
receive will appear here,
organized by time.
Lock Screen Notifications You can also track
your notifications on your
lock screen. New notifications stack in the order that
they arrived, with the
newest on top regardless of
which app it’s from—an
option that’s not available
for Notification Center itself.
From the lock screen, you
can swipe to unlock your
iPhone, but you can also
swipe an individual notification to directly launch
the app associated with it.
Note that when a new alert
arrives while your device is
locked, the standard swipe
to unlock still launches the
app associated with that
just-arrived notification.
When a new notification arrives while your iPhone is locked, it gets
special treatment: The alert gets centered in the middle of the screen, a
bit like the notifications of old. But other, previously arrived lock-screen
notifications are still accessible. A small gray handle appears at the top
of the lock screen when other notifications are temporarily hidden from
view; drag it down to expose them (with a gesture much like the swipe
to get to Notification Center).
Siri and Dictation
Although the iPhone 4S sports a faster processor and an
upgraded camera, the feature that everyone is talking
about is Siri. Siri allows you to speak a variety of
commands to your device and have it do your bidding.
In addition, the iPhone 4S includes voice-control
technology that makes it possible to compose emails,
text messages, and more through dictation—no more typing on the
phone’s tiny touchscreen keyboard.
