Indicates a tube with an arrow. Icons on the iPhone and iPad screen - what do they mean? How to enable the forwarding function
The question is often asked about this required function iPhone like screen rotation. How to enable screen rotation? On different versions On an iPhone, this button works differently.
It is very convenient to watch videos in wide format, but to do this you need to flip the screen so that the video takes a horizontal position on the long side of the screen. Some text is also easier to type on a smartphone if you rotate the display to big side display. It happens that the image on the window itself has turned in the other direction and to return it back, you need to know how to do it, where to find it and how to turn on screen rotation on iPhone 4, iPhone 5, 5S, 6 by pressing the desired key.
There are concepts - function automatic settings rotation and the function of disabling display rotation on a smartphone. Let's look at how they work on the iPhone.
If you are the owner of an iPhone with iOS version from 4.0 to 6.0, then you can find the display auto-rotate button as follows. Click on the “Home” button and the application menu will open in front of you. Scrolling to the end, you will find a button with a round arrow, by clicking on which you will start auto-rotating the screen or lock the rotation, while your menu will display a display lock icon, allowing you to use the device only in a vertical position.
If you need to remove the lock from the vertical position, allowing the display to change direction depending on the position of the device, then find the lock button (circle with arrow) at the bottom of the smartphone menu and press it, deactivating it, to flip the display.
If you are the owner of an iPhone with iOS 7 or higher version, then on the main menu, drag the control point located below and click on the screen rotation icon on iPhone lock with an arrow on iPhone a iPhone display in the control center the entry “Block. portrait orientation: off."
If you need to permanently block this option, you need to swipe to call the function “ Control Center» and activate by pressing the corresponding upper round key, indicating the display lock.
What should I do if the auto-rotate function does not work?
You can always check the presence or absence of an auto-lock screen by going to the “calculator” application and rotating the iPhone, waiting until the menu view changes to album sheet. If this does not happen, then your display is locked or the device software may not support the automatic display rotation function.
If the auto-rotate function does not work on your iPhone, try restarting your smartphone by pressing the reset button on the outer side of the case. The auto-rotate feature should appear when your iPhone boots up.
If the auto-rotate icon on your iPhone is locked and you cannot unlock this sign using the specified method, then try restarting your smartphone. After downloading, the auto-rotate feature should be enabled. If this does not happen, then Apple support will help you.
The automatic display rotation mode will help you rotate a photo or video widely, although other applications such as VKontakte or Skype will not rotate landscape view, but will remain only in book form.
The peculiarity is that you can only lock the screen in portrait view, but you cannot lock it horizontally in landscape view. Therefore, even if you want to use the iPhone in horizontal position, looking through email or pages on the Internet will not work.
If the display does not turn over after all the manipulations, then the last thing left to do is to copy all the data from the iPhone via backup and restore the device again. After reinstalling the data, the turned on display on the iPhone will turn over when it is moved to a horizontal position. 
IN iPad lock This rotary function differs from the described activation procedure in smartphones. To enable auto-rotate display on your iPad, just go to the “Settings” menu, go to the “General” section and in the “Side Panel Switch” subsection, activate the “Orientation Lock” option. Unlike the iPhone, a tablet device can open applications and social networks in a horizontal position.

Peace for everyone! The icons that appear after certain actions on the iPhone or iPad display are, in a certain sense, indicators that tell the user whether the current situation a specific function on the device.

- Airplane image. the so-called airplane mode, when it is turned on, all wireless connections, particulary mobile communications. Therefore, when it is active, the display of the network signal strength is lost from the screen, the operator’s name is not a standard for connecting to the Internet.
- Indicator Wi-Fi networks. Based on the strength of the reception, one (small), two or three stripes (largest) are painted over. What to do if it doesn’t show up? Read about other Wi-Fi dilemmas here.
- An icon in the form of two arrows spinning in a circle appears when synchronizing (making backup copies, copying data, etc.) the device with iTunes.

In this video tutorial we will look at the interface, buttons and navigation in the iPhone 4. our channel.
So. iOS is rich in icons that represent something. At the same time, there are both intuitively understandable to any person, and not quite exotic, characteristic only of mobile operating system Apple company.

Forwarding, conference calling and call waiting functions - a small set additional features your phone. If they are, you probably rarely access them. Many users don't even know about their availability. But if these functions are not there, and you need them, you will immediately understand how convenient it would be to use them. Fortunately, all Apple devices already have them built-in. How to make forwarding, set up conference calls and call waiting?
What are forwarding, conferencing and call waiting?
All three functions are designed to handle incoming calls. Their use often does not even require additional payment, Internet connection or something else. You can simply enable them in the settings. However, if you are using a CDMA network, you should check with your operator about the ability to enable call forwarding and call waiting.
Forwarding an incoming or outgoing call
Redirection is additional function mobile phone(in our case - iPhone), which allows you to redirect incoming calls from your number to any other. Moreover, this other number can be either a mobile number or Skype, Google Voice and others like that.
Using forwarding is convenient if, for example, you cannot charge your phone, but you need to answer calls. Simply forward calls to a second number. In addition, many call centers use forwarding so that several operators can serve customers at one number. Thus, you can create a whole network of numbers by connecting hierarchical forwarding.
Conference call
Conference calling is quite simple, but very convenient function. It allows several subscribers to talk at the same time. A clear example is any conversation in Skype three and more people. The iPhone, namely iOS 7 and later, provides conferencing for regular phone calls.
You can add another subscriber to any telephone conversation if he called you himself. Or you can dial his number while you are talking to someone else. As soon as the dialed number answers, he will join the conference.
Call waiting feature
Call waiting is a feature that turns on automatically when you answer a new call while still talking to the other party. Thus, the connection with the first is not interrupted, but is put on pause. In this case, you can negotiate with the second subscriber, and then switch back to the first.
Please note that when waiting for a call, you pay for each minute as per conversation. That is, if you have one subscriber on hold and you are talking to the second, you pay for two calls.
How to Use and Manage Incoming Call Features on iPhone
All three functions discussed above do not actually need to be configured in any way. You can turn call forwarding on or off or put the call on hold at any time. But subscribers of CDMA networks, as already indicated, need to first contact the operator to clarify the possibility of using this or that function.
How to enable or remove forwarding on iPhone
Enabling incoming call forwarding couldn't be easier. To get started, go to Settings on your iPhone. There, find the “Phone” subsection and select “Forwarding”.
A menu will open in front of you with just one option - “Forwarding”. Opposite this word there is a slider. Toggle it so it turns green.
Now just enter the number to which all calls will be forwarded. Here you can specify a mobile phone number, Skype or any VoIP (IP telephony).
To check if forwarding is enabled, look at your device's taskbar (at the top of the screen). The icon with a handset and an arrow means forwarding mode.

How to set up a conference call
To set up a conference on iPhone, first call one person.
When the number you dialed answers, tap the Add button on the call screen. In this case, the current conversation will be automatically switched to standby mode.
Will open phone book, from which you can select the second subscriber. Just go to the contact's description and click on their number. Of course, you can also enter any number manually.
In the same way, add all the necessary subscribers (for standard GSM networks - no more than five). Already added contacts will remain in standby mode. Once you are ready to start the conference, click the “Connect” button. At the same time, the button itself will change color, signaling that all dialed numbers are included in the conversation.
A “Replace” button will appear on the call screen. By clicking on it, you can add or remove a number from the conference. In addition, when you click on “Replace”, all numbers are put into standby mode. This way, you can talk to one person from the conference, and the others will not hear you. Clicking the “Connect” button again will restore the overall connection.
How to set up call waiting
The call waiting feature is essentially a two-party conference. One of them is in standby mode, and the second remains “in touch”. When you are talking with one subscriber and the second one calls you, you will hear a characteristic sound in the form of two beeps, repeated at the same frequency. In this case, instead of the current call screen, a new one will open, which will display who is calling.
As you can see, you have three options.
- If you click on the “Hang Up + Answer” button, the conversation with the first subscriber will stop, and a new one will begin instead - with the second.
- Clicking the “To answering machine” button will redirect the caller to your answering machine, if you have it turned on.
- The third button - “Hold + answer” - will switch the first subscriber to standby mode and start a conversation with the second.
During a conversation with the second subscriber, information about the first call will remain on the call screen: the corresponding number and the inscription “On Hold”.
You can switch to the first subscriber at any time by pressing the “Replace” button; or start a conference with both (the “Connect” button). Here everything works the same as in the case of a conference call. Disabling the second caller will remove the conversation with the first caller from being put on hold.
You can turn off the call waiting feature. To do this, go to “Settings” -> subsection “Phone”. There you will find the “Call Waiting” item. Toggle the slider to gray out and call waiting will be turned off.
How to turn autoresponder on or off
Instead of putting the first call on hold, you can redirect the second caller to voicemail.
All devices in the operating room iOS system support this function. But most mobile operators charge an additional fee for connecting to an answering service.
Check with your mobile operator about the possibility of connecting an answering machine and the corresponding tariff.
To set up an answering machine, go to the Phone program and find the Auto Answer option in the bottom panel. Click the "Configure" button.
Next, you will need to create a password for the answering machine and enter it twice. After clicking the “Finish” button, the settings window will open. You can set a standard response (“Default”) or write your own (“Personal”). In the second case, click “Record” to turn on the microphone. You can listen to the answering machine by clicking “Play.”
Click "Done" and your autoresponder is set up!

Don't forget to check with your operator about the rates for all these services so you don't end up spending too much money at once.
Drivers are alerted to the presence of a fault various systems car using . It is not always possible to decipher the meaning of such burning icons intuitively, since not all car enthusiasts are well versed in cars. Moreover, on different cars, graphic designation The total of the icon itself may differ. It is worth noting that not every light on the panel only indicates a critical malfunction. The indication of light bulbs under the icons is divided into 3 groups by color:
Red icons they indicate danger, and if any symbol lights up in this color, you should pay attention to the signal from the on-board computer in order to take measures to quickly resolve the malfunction. Sometimes they are not so critical, and it is possible to continue driving the car when such an icon on the panel is on, but sometimes it is not worth it.
Basic icons on dashboard
Yellow indicators warn of a malfunction or the need to take some action to drive the car or service it.
Green indicator lights inform about the vehicle’s service functions and their activity.
Let's present a list of the most frequently asked questions and an explanation of what the burning icon on the panel means.
Information icons
Car icon The lights may vary, sometimes the “car with a wrench” icon, the “car with a lock” icon, or an exclamation mark are on. About all these notations in order:
When this indicator is on ( car with key), then it informs about malfunctions in the engine (often a malfunction of some sensor) or the electronic part of the transmission. To find out the exact cause you will need to perform.
caught fire red car with lock, this means that problems have arisen in the operation of the standard anti-theft system and it will be impossible to start the car, but if this icon blinks when the car is locked, then everything is normal - the car is locked.
Yellow car indicator with exclamation mark notifies the driver of a car with a hybrid engine about a malfunction of the electric drive. Resetting the error by disconnecting the battery terminal will not solve the problem - diagnostics are needed.
Icon open door Everyone is used to seeing it on when a door or trunk lid is open, but if all the doors are closed and the light on one or four doors continues to shine, then often the problem should be looked for in the door end switches (wire contacts).
It begins to flash when the vehicle stability control system detects a section of a slippery road and is activated to prevent slipping by reducing engine power and braking the slipping wheel. There is no need to worry in such a situation. But when a key, a triangle or a crossed out skid icon appears near such an indicator, it means the stabilization system is faulty.
Pops up on the scoreboard when it's time to produce Maintenance car. It is an information indicator even after maintenance.
Warning icons on the panel
steering wheel icon Can light up in two colors. If the yellow steering wheel is on, then adaptation is required, and when a red image of the steering wheel with an exclamation mark appears, you should already be concerned about the failure of the power steering or power steering system. When the red steering wheel lights up, your steering wheel will probably become very difficult to turn.
As a rule, it blinks if the car is closed; in this case, the indicator of a red car with a white key signals the operation of the anti-theft system. But there are 3 main reasons if the immo light is constantly on: it is not activated, if the tag on the key is not read or the anti-theft system is faulty.
It lights up not only when the handbrake lever is activated (raised), but also in cases where the brake pads are worn out or need refilling. On a car with an electronic handbrake, the parking brake light may come on due to a glitch in the limit switch or sensor.
It has several options and depending on which one is on, draw conclusions about the problem accordingly. One red lamp with a thermometer scale indicates an increased temperature in the engine cooling system, but a yellow expansion tank with waves indicates a low coolant level in the system. But it is worth considering that the coolant lamp does not always light up at a low level; perhaps there is simply a glitch in the sensor or float in the expansion tank.
Indicates a low fluid level in the windshield washer expansion tank. Such an indicator lights up not only when the level actually decreases, but also if the level sensor is clogged (the sensor contacts become coated due to poor-quality liquid), giving a false signal. On some vehicles, the level sensor is triggered when the washer fluid does not meet specifications.
– this is an indicator of the Anti-Spin Regulation system. The electronic unit of this system works in tandem with ABS sensors. When such a light is constantly on, it means the ASR is not working. On different cars, such an icon may look different, but often in the form of an exclamation mark in a triangle with an arrow around it or the inscription itself, or in the form of a car on a slippery road.
According to information from the manual, it indicates a malfunction in the exhaust gas purification system, but, as a rule, such a light starts to light after poor refueling or the presence of an error in the sensor. The system registers misfires of the mixture, as a result of which the content of harmful substances in the exhaust gases increases and, as a result, the “exhaust gases” light comes on on the dashboard. The problem is not critical, but diagnostics are worth doing to find out the cause.
Reporting a malfunction
Lights up if the voltage in the on-board network drops, often this problem is associated with a lack of charge battery from generator, so it can also be called “generator icon”. On vehicles with a hybrid engine, this indicator is supplemented by the inscription “MAIN” at the bottom.
It is also a red oil can - indicates a drop in the oil level in the car engine. This icon lights up when the engine starts, and does not go out after a few seconds or may light up while driving. This fact indicates problems in the lubrication system or a drop in oil level or pressure. The oil icon on the panel may have a droplet or waves at the bottom; on some cars the indicator is supplemented with the inscription min, senso, oil level (yellow inscriptions) or simply the letters L and H (characterizing low and high level oils).
It can light up in several ways: both the red inscription SRS and AIRBAG, and “red man wearing a seat belt”, and a circle in front of him. When one of these icons is lit on the panel, it is on-board computer notifies you of a malfunction in the passive safety system, and in the event of an accident, the airbags will not deploy. Read the article on the website for the reasons why the airbag sign lights up and how to fix the problem.
Icon Exclamation point may look different and its meanings will accordingly also be different. So, for example, when the red (!) light is on in the circle, this indicates a malfunction of the brake system and it is advisable not to continue driving until the cause of its occurrence is determined. They can be very different: the handbrake is up, the brake pads are worn out, or the brake fluid level has dropped. A low level is precisely what poses a danger, because the reason may not only be in heavily worn pads, as a result of which, when you press the pedal, the fluid disperses throughout the system, and the float gives a signal about a low level, the brake hose may be damaged somewhere, and this is much more serious. Although, very often the exclamation mark lights up if the float (level sensor) is faulty or shorted, and then it simply lies. On some cars, the exclamation mark is accompanied by the words “BRAKE”, but this does not change the essence of the problem.
More exclamation point may light up in the form of an “attention” sign, both on a red and yellow background. When the yellow “attention” sign lights up, it informs about a malfunction in the electronic stabilization system, and if it is on a red background, it simply warns the driver about something, and, as a rule, explanatory text is displayed on the dashboard display or combined with other informative text designation.
ABS icon may have several display options on the dashboard, but regardless of this, it means the same thing on all cars - the occurrence of a problem in the ABS system, and that in this moment The anti-lock wheel system does not work. You can find out the reasons in our article. Movement in in this case can be done, but there is no need to rely on the ABS to activate; the brakes will operate as usual.
It can either light up periodically or burn constantly. A light with this inscription indicates problems with the stabilization system. The Electronic Stability Program indicator, as a rule, lights up for one of two reasons - either the rotation angle sensor has failed, or the brake light sensor (aka “frog”) has died for a long time. Although, there can be a more serious problem, for example, the brake system pressure sensor is covered.
Some drivers may call it the “injector icon” or may light up yellow when the engine is running. It informs about the presence of engine errors and malfunctions electronic systems. To determine the reason for its appearance on the dashboard display, self-diagnosis or computer diagnostics are performed.
Glow plug icon may light up on the dashboard of a diesel car, the meaning of such an indicator is exactly the same as the “check” icon on gasoline cars. When there are no errors in the electronic unit’s memory, the spiral icon should go out after the engine warms up and the glow plugs are turned off. How to check glow plugs.
This material is informative for most car owners. And although absolutely all possible icons of all existing cars are not presented here, you will be able to independently understand the main symbols of the car’s dashboard, and will not sound the alarm when you see that the icon on the panel is on again.
New iPhone users often begin to notice how an arrow very often appears in the upper right corner of the smartphone and then disappears like oil.
Some people don't know what exactly oil means and they just start to get nervous about it. Let's figure out whether it's worth worrying about.
What does the arrow mean on iPhone?
It is absolutely not so important what iPhone model you have, sometimes you will have to watch how an arrow appears and does not disappear because it is a geolocation icon.
If you look a little further, the found point is displayed with something like this symbol in different navigators. And essentially on real cards it is an ordinary pin.
Read:
Therefore, when you see such an icon, it means that one of the applications is currently using your geolocation. Most often it is the weather or the clock.
What remains to be done is that our client probably understands that geolocation eats up quite a lot of battery. Especially when the iPhone is no longer new and no one has a percentage of the charge on your account.
Therefore, let's figure out how to hide This popular rumor symbol cannot be found at all, which exactly uses your geolocation most often.
