When you’re putting together a prototype or creating an app, it can be difficult to tell if your design is functioning properly. A blog article shows you how to easily inspect elements on iPhone in this step-by-step guide!
What are elements?
Elements are the building blocks of your iPhone’s user interface. They include icons, text, and images that appear on the Home screen, in the App Store, and on other screens. You can inspect elements on your iPhone by using the Elements Inspector.
To access the Elements Inspector, tap on the Home screen or press Command-H. The Elements Inspector appears at the bottom of the screen. If you don’t see it, press Command-Option-H.
The Elements Inspector has three panels: Icons, Text, and Images. You can view and change the icons for app shortcuts and other elements on the Home screen in the Icons panel. In the Text panel, you can view and change the text for app icons, titles, and other elements on the Home screen. Finally, in the Images panel, you can view and change images for app icons, titles, and other elements on the Home screen.
How to inspect elements on iPhone
If you have an iPhone, chances are you’ve had to inspect elements on it at some point. For example, maybe you needed to find a defective pixel on an image or figure out why your phone was not turning on.
But how do you do it?
Don’t worry. We’re here to help! This step-by-step guide will show you how to inspect elements on your iPhone in just a few easy steps.
First, open up the Photos app on your iPhone and select the image you want to inspect. Once the image is loaded in the app, tap on it to open it in full-screen mode. Next, use the zoom feature of your camera to get a closer look at any defects or problems with the image. If you need to magnify an image area more than 100x, then you can use the Enhance button in the screen’s lower-right corner.
Once you have examined all of the elements of the photo, it’s time to decide what needs to be fixed. If any defects in the picture need to be fixed, then simply press the Fix It button at the upper-right corner of the screen. In most cases, the image will be fixed within a second or two and you’ll be able to save it to your iPhone’s Camera Roll.
Next up is the Share option found in the lower-left corner of the Photos app window. It’s covered later in this chapter, but it offers several options for sharing your favorite images with others on Facebook, Twitter, email, or Flickr (which I will cover later in this chapter).
Lastly, at the bottom of the Photos app window are a few options for other ways of viewing and organizing your photos. For example, you can choose from Albums view or Grid view to better organize your photo library.
How to replace an iPhone battery
If your iPhone battery is starting to die, or you just want to ensure that it’s in good condition, you can do a quick check by following these steps:
Step 1: Turn off your iPhone and wait 10 seconds.
Step 2: Remove the battery cover by inserting a thin object (like a thin screwdriver) between the cover and the phone body. Pry gently until the cover pops off.
Step 3: If you have an Apple-branded battery, remove it by gently pulling up on one end and then flexing it slightly so that it comes out of the phone. If you have a third-party battery, remove it by pressing down on one end and wiggling it loose.
Step 4: Inspect the cells for damage and replace any visibly damaged or showing signs of age (yellowing, cracking, etc.). Reinstall the battery cover and turn on your iPhone.
Conclusion
iPhone users know that if there’s something wrong with their phone, they can usually fix it by going to Settings > General > Repair. However, if you’re unfamiliar with how to do this or don’t have access to a computer, you might find yourself in a bit of a bind. So whether you’re having trouble with your battery life or need to check for system updates, this guide has everything you need.
