The purchase of a new iPhone is always exciting, especially when it is the first. If you come from another smartphone, there are interesting tips that you should learn to make the most of your iPhone, but you should also be aware of certain current errors among iPhone users for the first time so as not to repeat them.
So before you go to the App Store to try nice applications and games, read this list and learn What not to do With your new iPhone.
Error 1: End of applications too often
While Android has a multitasking system that can operate applications in the background, which can affect lifespan and battery performance, iOS manages multitasking differently. In order to save more battery and also to release material resources for other tasks, iOS limits applications in the background. This means that when you switch to another application, the iPhone records the status of the previous application and freezes until you return.
In other words, the background applications have very low battery consumption, so you don't need to close them manually. Unless an application works properly and should not be restarted, you can leave your multitasking carousel filled with applications. In fact, the closure and reopening of applications all the time can end up drainage more Battery, because iOS must recharge the entire application each time it opens.
These application screens can be tempted to slip, but don't.

Error 2: Do not properly configure iCloud
If you are a user for the first time iPhone, you may not know the advantages of the use of iCloud. Anyone can use iCloud for free, but it's more than just Apple email address. Apple's cloud service not only allows you to store files, but also to synchronize data between other devices, save your files and much more.
For example, you can allow iCloud photos to save your entire photo library, so that your photos and videos taken with your iPhone are automatically downloaded from the cloud. You can also connect to iCloud on another Apple device or even on a Windows PC to access your iCloud data. To check the iCloud features that you have activated on your phone, go to the Settings app and press your name at the top of the screen. This will take you to the iCloud menu, where you can manage all your settings.
More importantly, iCloud will automatically back up all of your iPhone data every day. Just make sure that iCloud backup is activated in iCloud settings. If something happens to your phone, you will not have to worry about losing anything – all your contacts, messages, photos and applications will be saved in iCloud and you can restore in the exact state it was, Safari tabs and everything.
It should be noted that Apple provides only 5 GB of iCloud storage for free, which may not be enough for most people. You can pay additional iCloud storage separately.
Error 3: Do not use my
Apple's said that my application is one of its best features, allowing you to follow Apple devices or anything attached to an Airtag in case you leave them behind, even when they are offline. More than that, you can also lock a lost or stolen device so that no one can use it.
It's easy to configure – everything you need is your Apple identifier. To activate find my iPhone, go to the Settings application, press the Apple account Section (at the top of the screen with your name) and search for the Find my menu menu. Make sure you can find my iPhone, find my network and send the last location.
Another great functionality of the application is the Find My Friends functionality, which allows you to share your location with friends and family who have an Apple (and vice versa) device so that you can follow where the others are. It is an invaluable feature for parents of teenagers of school age, and like apple, it is as simple as turning off a rocking if you change your mind on the sharing of your location.
Find that my is a fantastic way to keep track of your belongings, but many new iPhone users do not know that it is there.

Error 4: Jump the software updates
Although some users can be too busy, suspicious or simply lazy about the installation of software updates, it is extremely important to keep your iPhone software up to date. The new versions of iOS are often delivered with bug corrections and safety fixes. For example, iOS 18.4.1, published earlier this month, corrects a feat that could lead to the execution of malicious code without the user knowing.
Some iOS updates also provide new features to your iPhone. With iOS 18.4, Apple has expanded Apple Intelligence's features to more languages and added new emojis. And depending on that when you buy your iPhone, there may be an important thing while waiting to be installed as soon as the box is released. They are all important and should not be jumped.
To make sure that your iPhone runs the latest version of iOS, access Settings> General > Software update. Installation of an iOS update can take several minutes or much more time, depending on your internet connection, we therefore recommend that you do it overnight so that they do not slow you down.
Error 5: ignore the confidentiality and location parameters
If you buy your first new iPhone, there is a good chance that one of the main reasons why you have changed is because of Apple's position on confidentiality. But just because you use an iPhone that it is as locked as it is. However, Apple puts a lot of effort in its confidentiality authorization features as long as you know where to look for them.
To do this, access parameters> Confidentiality and securityAnd you will find a series of options. For example, you can choose if an application has access to things like the camera, the microphone and your location. You can deactivate monitoring for individual applications or everything you do. And you can also activate the protection of stolen devices and locking mode, which provides extreme protection against cyber attacks.
Some recommendations. You must activate “when using the application” for access to the location so that an application cannot follow your place where you do not use it. We also like to limit access applications to our contacts and photos. But the most important confidentiality parameter is the precision location. This is an option for specific applications so that they have access to identify your specific location. This can take a while to cross them all, but it is better to deactivate this for any application that obviously does not need it. (You can do so by pressing an application in the Location services tab and turn off the Precise location to fall over.)
Iphones have greater confidentiality protections than other phones, but only if you use them correctly.

Error 6: Define a low password
All the latest iPhones have an in front ID, which uses sensors to identify your user and automatically unlock the phone. It is incredibly secure – even more than a fingerprint sensor – but there are still times when you will need a password – like when the ID face does not recognize you in a dark room or when you restart your phone. A password like “1111” or “9876” could be easy to remember, but it could cause major headaches over the entire line.
For example, if you lose your iPhone, someone could guess your password if it is quite easy. Or someone could watch you enter your password and tear your phone. Once they have entered, they can try to modify your Apple ID password and access your personal accounts, and make a real waste of your life. This is why it is important to define a powerful password that cannot be easily guessed.
We recommend that you go to a password with at least six digits or, better still, an alphanumeric password.
