How to use the Stocks app on an iPhone to monitor your stock portfolio, analyze price charts, and more

• You can use the Stocks app on an iPhone as a one-stop shop for investment information.
• The Apple Stocks app gives you immediate access to prices for selected stocks at a glance.
• The app also provides you with suggested media to guide investments.

Apple's built-in Stocks app can potentially serve all of your investment needs, from real-time prices and updates to a regular roll of news articles from various media sources.

Not only does it come with a standard lineup of stocks to check prices at a glance, it also allows you to add any other stocks you want to follow or check for price information and history.

How to check prices on Apple Stocks

• Open the Stocks app. The standard list of stocks, funds, and indices will appear, usually starting with the Dow Jones and the S&P 500. The first stock after those two indices will likely be Apple Inc.

• To see the rest of the stocks' prices on your standard list and their current gains or losses, scroll down on the list.
• If you want more information on a single stock, tap on that stock.

• Tapping on the stock pulls up a chart of its price throughout the day.
• You can click on the week, month, and several other time frames along the top of the chart to track the price over different periods of time.

How to look at media research on Apple Stocks

• Tap on "Business News" at the bottom of the landing screen. This will pull up a list of top business stories from Apple News. Click on whichever article you want to read.
• To minimize this list, tap on the small line in the top center of the "Top Stories" menu and drag the list back down.
