When in Safari, holding your fingertip down on a link instead of tapping it produces an information balloon that displays the underlying URL. The same thing happens in Mail when you hold a link, which makes this tip much more useful. Now when those “account update� e-mails appear, you can press and hold on the link to find out if you’re really going to be taken to the site the e-mail claims.
In Safari, touch and hold your finger tip on a link instead of tapping it. You will see an info balloon pop up containing the URL of the link letting you know where that link is pointing before you go there. You can also do this in iPhone’s Mail. This is very useful in identifying phishing schemes that appear to be from a trusted source but actually point to a different server.
