QuickTip – Link Preview in Safari

Once again, sticking to my Safari theme, below is this week’s QuickTip. If you have a QuickTip you would like to submit you can email it to QuickTip@appleiphoneschool.com.

QuickTip – When in Safari, you can preview a link’s url by tapping and holding it. When you touch and hold your finger down on a link, it will bring up a bubble displaying the link’s url. If you would prefer not to be directed to the link, just slide your finger off the link. If you would like to be directed to the url, just hold your finger down a little longer and then release your finger (instead of sliding it off the link). This QuickTip also works in the Mail application when in an email.

A very useful way to view where a link is going to take you without actually clicking on the link…saves time and avoids spam! See screenshots below.
