Here are some tips to master your new iPhone

Set up your Apple ID

When you first power on your iPhone or iPad after taking it out of the box, one of the first options will be to create or log in to your Apple ID. While it isn’t strictly necessary, you won’t be able to use your iPhone or iPad without one.

An Apple ID is your key to everything Apple, including iMessage, FaceTime, iCloud, Find My iPhone, Apple Music, apps and games, and so much more. So, if you don’t already have an Apple ID, you should get one right away. Also, retain a record of your Apple ID credentials, as it can be difficult to regain access to your account if it is locked out from too many failed login attempts.

Turn on Find My iPhone

Again, an Apple ID is required in order to use Find My iPhone. This is a security feature that allows you to trace the location of your iPhone or iPad if it is lost or stolen. Even better, you can remotely clean the device and even leave a message for whoever is in possession of it to contact you in order to return it.

Turning on Find My iPhone should be part of the setup procedure when creating an Apple ID. However, if you wish to set it up later, you can turn it on manually. In any case, don’t forget to activate Find My iPhone! It’s better to be safe than sorry.

Fill out your Medical ID

Nobody likes to be in an emergency scenario, but life throws curveballs from time to time, and bad things happen. As a result, it is critical that you complete your Medical ID on your iPhone.

When you have Medical ID, first responders will be able to obtain valuable information about your health in the event of a medical emergency. This covers medical issues, blood type, allergies, whether or not you are an organ donor, and other factors. It is also where you can keep a list of emergency contacts.

To do so, navigate to Settings > Health > Medical ID. Alternatively, you can do this through the Health app.

Always back up your iPhone

Once you’ve completed the preceding steps, the next step is to ensure that you always back up your phone. I cannot emphasize this enough: BACK IT UP. Always back up your data, whether it’s manually or automatically — or even both. You never know what might happen, so it’s always better to be safe than sorry. Over time, your iPhone will gather a large amount of data and important memories, which you do not want to lose.

There are two ways to back up your iPhone or iPad: manually using a computer (Mac or PC) or automatically with iCloud backups. I’ve been using iCloud backups for a few years because they’re automatic and I don’t have to worry about them; it’s how I restore my data while switching iPhones every year. However, you must ensure that you have enough iCloud storage capacity to do so. If you conduct a manual backup with your computer, I recommend encrypting the backup, which includes other highly sensitive data such as health information and passwords.

Personalize your Control Center

Control Center is one of iOS’s more helpful features. It’s a panel of frequently used settings and app shortcuts, including Wi-Fi and cellular, brightness, volume, rotation lock, flashlight, camera, Low Power Mode, and others. The Control Center can be accessed from anywhere, including other apps, though there is a choice to limit it to the home screen exclusively.

Throughout the day, I frequently utilize the Control Center dozens of times. It’s quite useful, and you may customize it to your preference using numerous options. Simply navigate to Settings > Control Center to accomplish this. Do you want to add a Shazam shortcut? Maybe a button to start a stopwatch quickly? Apple’s customizing tools enable you to do that.
