New phone, who dis?
You have a new iPhone and are trying to figure it out. We’re here to help.
Our guides explain the iPhone in plain language, with step-by-step explanations and no technical jargon, starting with this page. You can read it straight through or jump to the sections you need most.
iPhone Overview
The iPhone is a smartphone made by Apple that combines calling, texting, internet access, and apps in one device. It uses Apple’s iOS operating system.
Apple launched the first iPhone in 2007, and its user base has grown to over 1.46 billion. In 2024, Apple added 98 million new iPhone users, meaning millions became acquainted with the device for the first time.
As you navigate your device, you’ll notice that terms like “apps,” “widgets,” and “iCloud” appear often on iPhones. Learning these words makes using your phone easier. We break down the essentials to help you increase your comfort level with the device.
So, our guides walk you, new users, non-techy users, and seasoned smartphone vets, like Android users, through the basics of the iPhone, from exploring the home screen to optimizing the phone through apps, because an optimized iPhone stores important information, becomes an entertainment device, and helps you communicate.
The iPhone Home Screen
The Home Screen displays your apps as icons arranged in a grid. You can swipe left or right to move between pages.
The Home Screen Defined
The Home Screen of your iPhone doubles as the device’s main interface. When you unlock your device, it appears. The highly customizable Home Screen features several tiles or apps, such as your camera, contacts, and weather.
You can delete and add apps based on which you want to see first or use most often, such as email, retail, and games.
App Icons Explained
App icons are pictures that open apps when you tap them. Each icon represents a specific app or function.
Each tile or app icon takes you to the corresponding tool, such as your calculator or a retailer.. Apps are software programs that have specific functions, such as built-in tools, productivity, social media, entertainment, and shopping.
Dock vs the Home Screen
The Home Screen differs from the iPhone Dock. While the Home Screen displays several of your apps in a grid, the Dock only shows four. As you swipe left or right from your Home Screen, the Dock remains visible.
You can customize the Dock to show your four most used apps, such as Phone, Email, Internet Browser, and Messages.
Common beginner mistake: Many new users think deleting an app from the Home Screen deletes their data or account. In most cases, removing an app only removes the icon, and you can reinstall it later from the App Store.
Control Center vs Notification Center
The Control Center gives you quick access to the device’s settings, such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Brightness, and Volume. You can access it by swiping down from the top right.
The Notification Center shows you notifications from your iPhone and apps. For example, if you allow your apps to send notifications, they will appear in the Notification Center.
Notifications Explained
Notifications alert you to messages, calls, and updates. Apps may send them when they want your attention. Notifications can also show reminders or news updates even when you are not using the app.
They can appear on the lock screen and as banners at the top.
To view your notifications, swipe down from the top of the screen. You can clear them individually or all at once.
Notification Settings
You can turn notifications on or off for each app in the Settings app. Changing the settings helps reduce distractions and keeps only important alerts visible.
Using Widgets on Your iPhone Home Screen
Widgets show useful information on your Home Screen so you don’t have to open apps.
You can add, remove, or resize widgets to customize what you see first.
App Library Explained
The App Library automatically organizes all your apps into categories like Social, Utilities, and Entertainment. It helps keep your Home Screen less cluttered while still giving you access to all your apps.
Access the App Library on your iPhone by swiping left from your Home Screen. It will appear after the last page.
Using Folders for Organization
Folders offer another organization method. You can organize your apps by dragging one app on top of another to create a folder. Your iPhone will name the Folder based on the apps you drag together, but you can rename it.
Folders make it easier to group similar apps, such as games, banking, or shopping.
Find Things with Search
Although your iPhone has several organization options, you can also use Search to find things.
Swipe down on the Home Screen to search for apps, contacts, messages, and settings.
Search is often the fastest way to find something if you are not sure where it is.
Don’t worry. You cannot break your iPhone by using Search or Siri. These tools are designed to make your phone easier to use, not more complicated.
Basic iPhone Gestures
Newer iPhone versions rely less on buttons and more on gestures. Nonetheless, it’s helpful to know how to use the buttons your device still has, such as the Side, Volume, and Silent buttons.
Side, Volume, and Silent Buttons
The side button is used to lock your iPhone, turn it on, and activate Face ID. The side button locks the screen and turns the phone on or off.
The volume buttons adjust sound levels, and the silent switch mutes calls and notifications. The volume buttons are also used together with the side button for screenshots and powering off.
To turn on your iPhone, press and hold the side button until the Apple logo appears. To turn it off, press and hold the side and volume buttons, then slide to power off.
The Silent button sits above the Volume buttons. It allows you to toggle between ringing and silent for calls and alerts. If you switch the iPhone to silent, you will still hear some sounds, such as your alarm.
Tap, Swipe, Pinch
Most modern iPhones use swipe gestures instead of a home button. Swiping helps you go home, switch apps, and go back.
Your iPhone’s touchscreen supports several gestures, including tapping, swiping, and pinching. The touchscreen functions mean that you don’t need to use external pens to navigate the menus or apps.
How to Go Back
Going back refers to returning to the previous screen or page within an app.
To go back, tap the Back arrow in the top-left corner or swipe from the left edge of the screen toward the right.
How to Close Apps
To close an app, swipe up. The phone will show you all the open apps on the device. Scroll through the open apps and pick the one you want to close. Then, swipe up again.
Common beginner mistake: Some users worry they’ll “mess something up” by swiping or pressing buttons incorrectly. iPhones are designed to prevent serious mistakes, and most actions can be undone or reversed.
Face ID and Touch ID
Apple continues improving the security of its iPhones. In 2013, Apple released Touch ID on the iPhone 5s. In 2017, it released Face ID on the iPhone X.
iPhone Touch ID lets users log in to their devices with their fingerprint.
Face ID allows users to log in to their devices using their faces.
When Face ID Doesn’t Work
Face ID may not work if your face is covered, the lighting is poor, or the camera is blocked.
In these cases, your iPhone will ask for your passcode instead.
Common beginner mistake: If Face ID stops working, users sometimes think something is broken. In reality, Face ID often just needs better lighting, a clear camera view, or your passcode after a restart.
When Passcodes Work Better than Face ID
If you restarted your iPhone or Face ID has failed at least four times, use your passcode. Your iPhone will ask you to input your passcode to change any essential settings and for other security-sensitive tasks, like updating its software.
Essential iPhone Settings
Settings control how your iPhone works and looks. Most changes to your phone are made in the Settings app.
After you purchase your iPhone, you’ll go through the settings and customize them to your preferences, including the display brightness and text size.
Display Brightness & Text Size
Display settings adjust screen brightness and appearance. Lower brightness can help save battery life. However, sometimes you’ll want to increase the brightness to read more easily in certain settings.
Volume & Ringtones
You can control ringtones, alerts, and media volume separately. Sound settings help you manage notifications. For example, when you go to the movies, you’ll need to turn off the volume.
Battery Settings
Your iPhone battery powers all functions. Charging habits and settings affect how long the battery lasts. For example, turning on the auto-lock feature in the battery settings helps conserve battery life.
Accessibility Settings
The accessibility settings of your iPhone make it easier to see and hear. The settings include VoiceOver, Magnifier, Zoom, and AssistiveTouch, which also help users with mobility and cognitive needs.
Common beginner mistake: Beginners often avoid the Settings app out of fear of breaking something. Most settings are safe to explore, and changes can usually be reset if needed.
Notifications Settings
The Notifications settings help you manage your iPhone alerts. The settings let you choose how notifications are displayed, such as in List or Count mode. You can allow Previews and whether Siri should announce them.
When you scroll down, you’ll see all the apps installed on your iPhone and which ones send you notifications. Click on any app to explore its Notifications settings and adjust them to your preferences.
Common beginner mistake: Many users allow every app to send notifications, which quickly becomes overwhelming. Turning off unnecessary notifications helps you notice important alerts instead of ignoring them.
Auto-Lock Explained
Auto-Lock is an important iPhone feature for battery saving and safety. You can set how quickly your iPhone locks when not in use. It protects the device by requiring a passcode to use it again.
Text Size vs Display Zoom
Text Size differs from Display Zoom. Text Size works with apps that support Dynamic Type. Increasing or decreasing the text size will affect those apps. Display Zoom affects the Lock-Screen, Home Screen, and Messages. You can select Default or Larger.
Software Updates
Software updates add new features, fix problems, and improve security on your iPhone.
Keeping your iPhone updated helps it run smoothly and protects it from bugs and security issues.
Making Calls, Sending Texts, and Using Contacts on Your iPhone
Most people purchase an iPhone to make calls and send text messages. Here’s an overview of both.
How to Make a Phone Call
Open the Phone app to make calls. You can dial a number or select a contact.
To make a call from an iPhone, navigate to the Phone app. Then, select Keypad and dial the number you want to call. You can also select a Contact.
How to Send Texts via Messages app
Use the Messages app to send and receive texts. Conversations are grouped by contact for easy reading.
To send text messages from your iPhone, navigate to the Messages app. Tap the pencil icon located at the top right-hand corner. Enter the recipient’s phone number. Next, navigate toward the middle of the screen and click on the dialogue box. If you intend to add a photo, location, or selfie, tap the Plus sign to open a new menu.
Lastly, you can dictate your text message by clicking the microphone in the dialogue box.
Difference between SMS & iMessage
The Messages app handles both SMS texts and iMessages. It automatically chooses which one to use. It uses SMS technology to send texts. However, iPhones differentiate between messaging iPhone users and non-iPhone users.
Blue message bubbles mean you are using iMessage with another Apple user.
Green message bubbles mean you are sending a regular text message, which works with any phone.
If someone doesn’t have an iPhone and you message them, the message bubbles will appear in green and will be sent as a regular text message.
How to Save Contacts
Contacts store names, phone numbers, and other details. You can add contacts manually or save them from messages and calls.
iPhones allow users to save their contacts in various ways.
After making a phone call, the iPhone will save the number under Recents. To save it as a Contact, tap the Information icon, which opens a new screen where you can Share, Create, or Add contacts. Users can also block the Contact.
Taking, Saving, and Sharing Photos on Your iPhone
The popularity of iPhones stems from their multi-functionality, including their cameras.
The Camera app lets you take photos and record videos easily. On-screen buttons make it simple to capture moments.
How to Take a Photo
To take a picture with your iPhone, navigate to the Camera app. It will automatically open to the Photo function. Snap the shot by pressing the White Button at the bottom of the app.
Where Photos are Saved
The iPhone will save the photos in the Photos app. The newest version will show you all your pictures organized by date. If you scroll down, you’ll see your pictures organized by:
- Recent Days
- People
- Pinned Collections
- Memories
- Trips
- Featured
Further down, you’ll find that the Photos app also organizes your pictures by Media Types, including Videos, Selfies, and Live Photos.
Next, you’ll see Utilities, which houses your Favorites and Recently Deleted photos.
How to Delete Photos Safely
Users decide to delete photos for many reasons. You can safely delete photos from the Photo Library by confirming the action, which moves them to the Recently Deleted folder for 30 days. If you selected the wrong image or changed your mind, tap “Cancel.”
Photos you delete are moved to the Recently Deleted album for up to 30 days.
This gives you time to recover pictures you deleted by mistake.
How to Share Photos with Family
Your iPhone stores Photos in the Photos app. You can share them through messages, email, or apps.
You can also share them through the:
- iCloud Shared Library
- Shared Albums
- Airdrop
Photos vs iCloud Photos
Storing pictures in the Photos app differs from storing them in iCloud. Your iPhone will automatically store all the pictures you take on that device. When your iPhone tries to back up to iCloud, it also stores the backup in iCloud Photos if the backup succeeds.
Understanding iPhone Storage
Every new iPhone release includes at least one new model with tiers of storage options.
iPhone Storage Defined
iPhone Storage refers to the device’s memory. Apple offers several storage options per new model. For example, users can purchase newer iPhone models with a storage size of 256GB or 512GB.
What Takes Up Space
Everything on an iPhone takes up space, including the Operating System. The OS and preinstalled apps on new iPhones can take up to 30 GB of storage.
Common beginner mistake: New users sometimes delete apps or files without checking what’s using space. The iPhone Storage screen shows exactly what’s taking up space, so you can remove the items that are taking up space.
How to Check Storage
To check your iPhone’s storage, tap on the Settings icon. Click General, then iPhone Storage.
iPhone Storage displays a bar chart showing how much storage is used and what is using it, such as Apple TV, Applications, and Photos.
It will also show you Recommendations for freeing up space, such as downloaded media.
Lastly, iPhone Storage shows you a list of the apps installed on your device and how much space each uses.
What NOT to Delete
When freeing up storage space on your iPhone, there are things that you should not delete, such as:
- Essential system files
- Personal documents
- Backed-up media
Instead, you can delete:
- Photos
- Videos
- Old messages
Internet, Wi-Fi, and Mobile Data Explained
Your iPhone resembles a mini-laptop that can connect to the internet in two ways: Wi-Fi and Cellular Data.
Wi-Fi vs Cellular Data
Connecting your iPhone to the internet via Wi-Fi differs from connecting it via cellular data.
Wi-Fi connects your iPhone to the internet without using cellular data. You choose a network in the Settings app. Cellular data lets your iPhone access the internet when Wi-Fi is unavailable. It uses part of your mobile plan.
How to Connect to Wi-Fi
To connect your iPhone to the internet via Wi-Fi:
- Click on the Settings app
- Find Wi-Fi and click on it
- Review the available Wi-Fi networks and select yours
- Select the network and enter the password
- Click on Join
What Happens When Wi-Fi is Off
Turning off the Wi-Fi on your iPhone prevents it from connecting to any Wi-Fi networks. If your iPhone has a data plan, it will use cellular data instead.
Data Usage Basics
Data usage refers to how much mobile data your iPhone uses when it is not connected to Wi-Fi.
Activities like streaming videos, browsing the web, and using apps can quickly use up mobile data. So, many users combine using Wi-Fi with their cellular data.
Common beginner mistake: Some users accidentally use cellular data when Wi-Fi is available. Checking the status bar helps you confirm which connection your iPhone is using.
How to Tell if You’re on Wi-Fi or Data
You can tell if you’re using Wi-Fi or cellular data by looking at the status bar on the upper right-hand side of your iPhone. Check the bars for both. If you see the Wi-Fi symbol, your iPhone is using Wi-Fi instead of cellular data.
Using Wi-Fi helps save mobile data and is usually faster and more stable.
How to Turn Cellular Data Off Temporarily
You can turn mobile data on or off in the Settings app under Cellular or Mobile Data.
Turning it off can help avoid extra charges when Wi-Fi is available.
Apple App Store Basics, Downloading and Uploading Apps
Your iPhone has several preinstalled apps that let you make phone calls, send text messages, and take photos. However, most users maximize their iPhone’s potential by downloading additional apps.
Apple App Store Defined
The Apple App Store is where iPhone users shop for apps compatible with their devices. The App Store shows you popular apps, games, and productivity tools. It also connects you to Apple Arcade.
How to Download Apps
Apple makes it easy to download apps from the App Store.
The App Store is where you safely download compatible apps. You can search, download, and update apps from one place.
Next, the App Library automatically organizes all your apps into folders. You access it by swiping all the way to the right on the home screen.
Switching Between Apps
You can switch apps by swiping left or right along the bottom of the screen. This makes multitasking quick and easy.
Tap an app icon once to open it. To close an app, swipe up from the bottom and swipe the app off the screen.
Free vs Paid Apps
When you find the apps you want to install on your iPhone, you’ll notice some are free, and others cost money. You’ll also notice that some iPhone apps are free to download but have in-app purchases.
Free apps don’t require payment to download them. They also don’t offer in-app purchases, such as Zoom or Google Docs.
Paid apps require payment up front to download, such as Procreate.
Free apps with in-app purchases are apps that users can download without an upfront payment but may require a subscription, such as fitness apps, or upgrades, such as productivity tools.
Common beginner mistake: Beginners sometimes download apps without checking if they include subscriptions. Always review the app details to avoid unexpected charges from in-app purchases.
How to Update Apps
App updates improve app performance and add features. Many updates happen automatically unless you change the settings. Apps will update automatically when the iPhone has enough charge, is connected to Wi-Fi, and is in awake mode.
Apps that require an update will notify you when you try to use them.
You can also update Apps from the Apple App Store.
Apple App Store vs. iTunes Store
While you can download apps, games, and productivity tools from the Apple App Store, the iTunes Store is where you’ll shop for Music. iTunes Store purchases are added to your Apple Music Library.
iCloud for iPhone Explained
iCloud allows iPhone users to store and share photos and files. It also helps you back up your iPhone.
Apple iCloud Defined
iCloud is a digital service provided by Apple that securely stores users’ data, such as photos, files, and contacts, in the cloud. It also syncs the data across the users’ devices.
What iCloud Backs Up
iCloud backs up everything on your iPhone, including Notes, Calendar entries, and Documents.
Backing Up Your iPhone
Backing up your iPhone protects your data in case your device is damaged or lost. A backup is a copy of the iPhone’s data and settings, including apps, contacts, messages, and photos.
Backing up your iPhone makes it easier to transfer your data and settings to a new one.
Common beginner mistake: Many users assume their iPhone automatically backs up without checking. Confirming that iCloud Backup is turned on ensures your photos and data are protected if something happens to your phone.
iCloud vs Computer
Some users prefer to back up their iPhones to their computers. It is a viable option that offers more control and speed. Users just need to remember to run the backup. iCloud does it automatically.
What happens if iCloud Storage is Full
When iCloud storage is full, you’ll receive notifications in several places letting you know it is no longer backing up your iPhone. You have a few options for dealing with a full iCloud storage account.
Is iCloud Safe?
Apple continually works to keep its iCloud users safe. Apple uses encryption, two-step authentication, and security protocols to keep users and their data safe.
iCloud storage vs iPhone storage
iPhone storage is the space on your physical device used for apps, photos, and files.
iCloud storage is online storage that backs up and syncs your data across devices.
What happens if You Don’t use iCloud
If you don’t use iCloud, your data stays only on your iPhone. This means you could lose photos or contacts if your phone is lost or damaged.
Apple ID
An Apple ID is the account you use to download apps, back up your iPhone, and sync information across Apple devices.
You usually create one when setting up your iPhone, and it is linked to your email address and password.
Apple ID vs iCloud
Your Apple ID is your login, while iCloud is the service that stores and syncs your data.
You can have an Apple ID without using iCloud storage, but many features work best together.
Basic iPhone Safety and Privacy Settings
Using a passcode and Face ID helps keep your iPhone secure. Only download apps from the App Store for safety.
All technology carries risks and has gaps that some individuals opt to exploit. However, Apple continually works to close those gaps to keep users safe.
Screen Lock & Passcodes
The lock screen appears when you wake your iPhone. It shows the time, notifications, and quick access to the camera and flashlight.
You can unlock your iPhone using a passcode, Face ID, or Touch ID. These features protect your personal information.
Face ID Basics
After setting up an iPhone passcode, you can also set up Face ID.
iPhone Face ID uses TrueDepth camera technology to capture a 3D map of your face. Then the device uses it to unlock the smartphone, sign in to apps, and make purchases.
Face ID can recognize your face even with glasses, masks, or hats.
App Permissions
App permissions refer to settings that allow apps to access parts of your device, such as the Microphone, Contacts, and Photos.
When you install a new app on your iPhone, several prompts will appear because apps must ask for specific permissions, such as whether or not they can track your activity or access your device’s camera.
Common beginner mistake: Users sometimes grant app permissions without reading the prompts. Reviewing permissions helps protect your privacy and limits unnecessary access to your data.
Location Services
Location services is a tracking feature on your iPhone. Turning on Location Services allows your device and apps to track your location via GPS, Bluetooth, cellular data, and Wi-Fi connection.
Emergency SOS
Emergency SOS lets you quickly call emergency services on your iPhone. It can be activated by pressing the side button and volume button together.
Medical ID
A Medical ID stores important health information, such as allergies and emergency contacts. First responders can access it from your Lock Screen in an emergency.
Find My iPhone

Common iPhone Problems and Quick Fixes
As you develop a high comfort level with your iPhone, you’ll probably come across common iPhone problems that many users experience.
iPhone Running Slow
A slow-running iPhone can occur for several reasons, such as:
- Low-storage
- Degraded battery
- Outdated iOS or apps
- Background activity
To troubleshoot a slow-running iPhone, you’ll want to review all your open apps. One of them could be slowing down the device. Close the apps, then reopen one to see if that resolves the issue.
If it does not, you’ll need to review your iPhone’s:
- Storage
- Software Update
- Background Activity
Additionally, your software could already be updating, causing the device to run slowly.
Battery Draining Fast
A new iPhone’s battery should not drain fast.
If you notice that your iPhone’s battery drains fast, it’s a good idea to find out why. Reasons why the battery drains fast include:
- Gaming activity
- App activity
- Turning off the Lock Screen
- A webpage running in the background
You can save battery by reducing background activity and screen brightness. Low Power Mode helps extend battery life.
iPhone batteries have an average lifespan of two years, so you should not see a drop in battery power right away.
The iPhone 14 and earlier models retain 100% of the battery life for 500 battery cycles. Newer models, such as the iPhone 17, retain 100% of their battery life for 1000 battery cycles. Therefore, the battery retention drops to 80%.

An overheating iPhone is never good.
New iPhones can overheat because:
- It’s hot outdoors or indoors
- The phone is charging on a surface that provides it with no ventilation
- Intense app or game use, especially while charging
- Several simultaneous intense updates
If your iPhone overheats at any point, you can take some steps, such as:
- Unplugging it from the charger
- Stopping all activity and shutting down the apps
- Placing it on a hard surface instead of a soft one allows the device to cool down
- Letting it rest for several minutes
After troubleshooting the iPhone, allow it time to cool down before using it again.
Apps Crashing
You’re using an app, and it closes suddenly. What happened?
Crashing iPhone apps are never convenient. Common causes of crashing apps on iPhones include:
- App needs to update
- Low iPhone memory
- Too many apps running in the background
- Bad data
Troubleshoot the app that crashed by shutting it down. Navigate to the Apple App Store and tap the circle icon in the upper-right corner to open your Account. Swipe down on the screen and look for “Update All” in the middle of the screen. Click on it.
Sometimes, the developers of the apps that are crashing know of the issue but they have not released an update that patches the issue. So, wait a few hours and try again.
Helpful iPhone Accessibility Features
The customizable features of your iPhone continue, including the text size, voice options, and magnifier, which make it easier to read text and hear messages.
Text Size & Bold Text
The Text Size and Bold Text accessibility feature on your iPhone makes it easier to read text as you visit webpages, use apps, and read messages.
Voice Control
Voice Control on your iPhone lets you use the device hands-free. Activating the feature allows you to use voice commands to swipe, tap, and dictate.
Voice Control vs Siri
Siri is Apple’s voice assistant that lets you ask questions or perform actions by speaking.
