      2. Type the name of the network in the Name field.

      3. If the network has a password, tap Security.

      4. Choose the type of password this network uses and tap the back button that reads Other Network.

      3. Type the password.

      4. Tap the Join button.

      You return to the Wi-Fi Networks screen. A check mark appears next to the highlighted name of the network you’ve joined. iPhone automatically remembers any Wi-Fi network you’ve joined and connects to it whenever you’re in its range.

      

iPhone remembers Wi-Fi networks you previously connected to and automatically reconnects whenever you’re in range of those Wi-Fi networks, unless you’re already connected to a network that has a stronger signal. Tap the Info (i) button next to a network name and then tap the Forget This Network button to immediately disconnect from a Wi-Fi network you’re connected to. Tapping this option also erases any password or other information you may have typed in to connect to the Wi-Fi network. If you have trouble connecting to a network you know you should be able to connect to, try forgetting the network and signing in again.

      

Information about and configuration options for the Wi-Fi network you’re connected to appear beneath the Forget This Network button. Scroll down the list to see the Wi-Fi network’s information and configuration options. Chances are, you’ll probably only view or change these additional Wi-Fi network settings if the tech folks at the company or organization that operates the network tell you that you need to and provide you with the necessary details you must type in to make the connection.

       Carrier

      This setting appears on the main Settings screen on GSM models (such as the AT&T iPhone or an unlocked iPhone) when you’re outside your service provider’s network – you may not see this option when you’re within your carrier’s network. Open the Settings app, tap Carrier, and tap the Automatic switch on for your iPhone to connect to the appropriate carrier. When the Automatic switch is off, your iPhone searches for available carriers and presents a list of those found; tap the network you want to use. You may incur roaming charges when you use a different network.

      Many apps download and upload data with a remote server and use either Wi-Fi or the cellular data network to make those exchanges. For example, Facebook accesses the Facebook server to show you the latest status updates and let you post your own; likewise, the App Store exists in the virtual realm of the Internet and when you access it from your iPhone, your browsing and shopping activity travels on the cellular data network or Wi-Fi. You can better control how you consume your contractual cellular data allotment by choosing which apps use cellular data. Open the Settings app, tap Cellular, scroll down to the Use Cellular Data For section, and tap the switches on or off for the apps you want to allow cellular data access. Even if you tap an app’s switch to the off position, it can still perform its data functions when you’re connected to Wi-Fi.

       AirDrop

      AirDrop creates a connection between your iPhone 5 or later and one or more iOS devices such as iPhones (5 or later), iPads (fourth generation or Mini), or iPod touches (fifth generation), or newer Macs running OS X (10.10) Yosemite or later. You can then exchange documents and data from apps, such as a contact card in Contacts, an address in Maps, or an event in Calendar. To use AirDrop, follow these steps:

      1. Drag up from the bottom of the screen to open the Control Center.

      2. Tap AirDrop.

      3. Choose one of the choices:

      • Off to turn AirDrop off

      • Contacts Only to give access to your iPhone only to people with iCloud accounts who are in your Contacts

      • Everyone to let everyone on the same Wi-Fi network with an iCloud account see your iPhone

      4. Open whatever it is you want to share – say, a photo in Photos.

      5. Tap the Share button.

      6. Tap the icon for the person you want to share with.

       Personal Hotspot and tethering

      When another device uses your iPhone’s Internet connection to connect to the Internet, that’s called tethering. Tethering essentially turns your iPhone into a miniature Wi-Fi router that broadcasts a signal that you or a few others can tap into with your laptop computer, your iPad, or most any other Wi-Fi–enabled gadget. A Wi-Fi network you can connect to is typically referred to as a hotspot, and on your iPhone, this feature is called Personal Hotspot. You can also connect your computer to iPhone’s Personal Hotspot feature using a USB cable, instead of connecting using Wi-Fi.

      

To use iPhone’s Personal Hotspot feature, you must pay your cellular service provider a separate fee in addition to your existing cellular service plan. Contact your provider for details. Personal Hotspot also quickly consumes the battery charge.

      To share an Internet connection using your iPhone’s Personal Hotspot feature, follow these steps:

      1. Open the Settings app.

      2. Tap Personal Hotspot.

      3. Tap the Personal Hotspot switch on.

      4. Choose one of the following options to connect:

      • To connect a computer using the Personal Hotspot feature’s direct cable option, connect iPhone to your computer with the USB cable. In Network Preferences, choose iPhone. Follow the onscreen instructions to configure the connection if this is the first time.

      • To connect a computer or other device (such as an iPad, another iPhone, or an iPod touch) using that device’s built-in Wi-Fi feature, choose your iPhone from the list of Wi-Fi networks that appears on the device. Type СКАЧАТЬ
