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 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).
