"Not everyone will be rushing out to buy an iPhone 5S or iPhone 5C today - many will be happy with the total refresh that iOS 7 has given smartphones.  It&amp;#039;s a big change from iOS 6, not only in terms of looks but layout as well. Some are struggling with a few of the tweaks Apple has made, so Digital Spy figured a quick top ten tips might help users familiarise themselves with the new operating system.  How do I close apps? Opening the multi-tasking menu on iOS 7 is done via a double tap of the home button. After that, you should see a set of all the running apps displayed in small scrollable windows. In order to close an application, all you need to do is swipe it up and away from the iPhone&amp;#039;s screen. This will close the app completely. Incidentally, you can also use this menu to swap quickly between applications. How do I speed up my phone? Many of those using earlier versions of the iPhone and iPad are reporting a laggy and slow user interface. A lot of this is to do with the new motion graphics and 3D effects found in iOS 7. You can switch these off by heading over to general in the settings menu, then accessibility and finally by turning on reduce motion. Digital Spy meets some of the UK&amp;#039;s first iPhone 5S owners on launch day:  &amp;gt; Read our iOS 7 apps to download feature How do I search my iPhone? Previously search on the iPhone had been accessed by swiping from the home menu all the way to the left. Now search is obtainable anywhere on your home screen simply by swiping upwards. How do I save battery? One of the main new features in iOS 7 is AirDrop, which allows you to quickly share information between iPhones over Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. AirDrop searches for other handsets to share with and as such drains battery a fair bit. Kill it to save power. How do I quickly find a photo? The new photos app in iOS 7 can be used to quickly locate images from the vast number of photographs you might have taken with your iPhone. Pinch to zoom out from any image and then drag and hold your finger over your photo albums. This will open a scrollable thumbnail that you can then scan back and forth through to find individual pictures.  &amp;gt; Check out our iOS 7 review How do I control app refresh and sync? iOS 7 will allows applications to refresh themselves in the background, which can be a major drain on battery if you have a large number running. In the settings menu head to general and then background app refresh. You can stop iOS 7 from app refreshing there. How do I speed up my keyboard? Many are pointing to a slow keyboard with iOS 7 and the iPhone 4. It&amp;#039;s possible that a full reset of settings will fix this problem. How do I get animated backgrounds? A new feature in iOS 7 is its animated backgrounds. Previous iterations of the operating system have used stills only, but now you can use one of Apple&amp;#039;s own live backgrounds. These can be found in the settings menu under the wallpaper tab. All you need to do is hit the &amp;#039;dynamic&amp;#039; picture and then you can pick a background.  How do I get iTunes Radio? If you are in the UK, you don&amp;#039;t. For the time being at least, iTunes Radio remains a US-only affair. For American readers, it&amp;#039;s accessible via a tab on iOS 7&amp;#039;s music app. How do I delete an email or text message? It&amp;#039;s not immediately obvious how you delete an email or message in iOS 7.  It&amp;#039;s a case of a simple swipe to the left and then hitting the big red delete button, but is something that isn&amp;#039;t hugely clear until you know how.
