Instant access to information from anywhere, continuous information exchange, the ability to perform multiple tasks simultaneously and fast information retrieval were also introduced as the most popular advantages of mobile smart phones. Conclusion: Considering that smart phones have played a significant role in daily life; it is necessary to use the various capabilities of these smart devices to advance our goals and solve everyday problems in order to create a life as comfortable and better as possible.
