iOS 6 for iPhone makes Photo Contest Entry Easy

It’s here!  Today the iPhone 5 launched.  Are you getting one?  

Even if you aren’t getting one today, or haven’t decided yet, one thing you can do and should do is upgrade your current iPhone to iOS 6.

iOS 6 is the latest operating system software for the iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch.  It’s got a lot of new and great features but the simplest reason to update is to increase the functionality of Safari.

Previously, Safari for mobile devices like iPhones had one significant limitation.  You could not upload photos on a web page.  This meant that Photo Contests, iPhone users could not easily upload their Photo entry to a Contest.  

Now, however, with iOS 6, that barrier is gone!

The new iOS 6 operating system from Apple makes it simple and easy to enter a photo contest from your iPhone, iPod Touch, or IPad!

Here is a Facebook Page contest using TabSite viewed on a iPhone 4S with iOS 6.  TabSite offers a mobile friendly version of Facebook Page tabs to enable mobile users to easily view custom tabs.

iOS 6 software can be added to iPhone 3GS and above!  

iOS 6 users simple click the “Drag / Click to Browse” button on the Contest tab and your iPhone prompts you with the selection below.

Users can either take a photo or select “Choose Existing” to make a photo selection from their iPhone.

So don’t delay!  Upgrade your Apple device to iOS 6 today!

How to View Facebook Fan Page Tabs with an iPhone

When Facebook made a change in their mobile platform a few months back to unify m.facebook.com and touch.facebook.com under a common “m.” platform, they changed the way a iPhone could view fan pages. 

By default iPhone users browsing Facebook in Safari could view a limited, mobile version of Facebook centered on the News Feed.  That’s great for many but I prefer the Facebook iPhone app for that.  For me, though, the issue was browsing custom tabs.  I couldn’t do it easily.  As Developers, we want need to see our custom fan pages anywhere, anytime.  I help provide support to users as well, so being able to view their fan page while on the go is crucial.  Fortunately, Facebook has made a way for us to view custom fan pages tabs within the new mobile platform.

Here’s a quick tutorial on how to get to fan page tabs while using your iPhone.

 

1. Open Safari and go to www.Facebook.com and click on the “More” dropdown.

2. Scroll Down the “More” menu to the bottom and select  “Desktop Site”.  This changes your mobile view to the traditional computer screen view.

3. The view will change and then you can navigate as you do on your computer.  Use the Facebook Search bar to find your fan page, and then you’ll see and can select the custom tab you want as exemplified below.  With TabSite, features like Fan/Non-Fan Content, PhotoShow and more all work just fine!  So enjoy custom fan page tabs while using your iPhone!
