Hot off the heels of the first iPhone Tips: Time Savers and Mind Blowers post, I’ve come up with a few more tricks that everyone should be aware of. Hit the jump to see these undisclosed shortcuts and tips.

Quadruple tap for paragraph selection

Quadruple Text

When editing text, double tapping a word will select just a single word. Some people are aware of this. Few people are aware of quadruple tapping, which selects an entire paragraph. It takes a bit of practice to stop. One more tap and you’ll gain nothing.

Copy a link or open in a new window

Pressing and holding on a link in Safari will bring up options to Open, Open in New Page and Copy (the link URL not the text).

Add accents to letters and get extra symbols

Bé fåñçy, †¥pé wî†h s†¥lé

Press and hold on keyboard characters (letters and symbols) to bring up alternates. So for the correct spelling of latte, type l-a-t-t then press and hold the e, drag your finger over to the é key and release. Presto! Just be aware that these symbols will not show up in SMS messages to other people unless they also have iPhones. This tip also works with symbols, like the question mark to make an upside down question mark (¿) and when typing a web address, holding the period will bring up a “.com .net. .org” menu.

Save images from Safari or Mail

Copy an image to your camera roll

To save images from Mail or Safari, press and hold the image, a box will slide up with the option to save the image to the camera roll.

Again, I’m always looking for more tricks and tips to recommend to folks. So if there are some tasty ones I’ve missed, please drop me a line in the comments.
