Hidden features of the iPhone button

Every iPhone user knows tapping the button once returns you to the Home screen.
But, did you know that double tapping gives you the the Phone favorites, so you can instantly call someone instead of having to navigate to this feature?
When your iPhone is locked, the double tapping feature changes to display a simple iPod navigation.
You can change these default settings in Settings / General / Home Button.

its a new feature. It only started happening with the last update. that's why you haven't used it until recently.
You can change the behaviour of the double-click in the Preferences > General > Home Button

That's the most useful double click for me, especially so I don't have to unlock it to skip a track.

I just found out the Locked ipod double tap by accident the other day while my 2-year old niece was playing with my phone. But thanks for the tip on the favorites. Good stuff!

haha, oh steve!
below are 2 hidden features... some of you guys might already knew or being featured else-where :)
1) Trying touching on the little dots that indicate the pages of applications that you have. it is a shortcut to the page instead of swiping from right to left again and again.
2) Press down the home button, together with the on/off button will trigger the OS to take a screen shot of the phone.
Neat! thanks.
