No matter which iPhone 11 model you use, it’s important to find the right text size for your vision. Adjusting it will make all the difference, whether you’re scrolling through your social media feed or reading emails. To do this, open up your Settings > Display & Brightness > Text Size and drag the slider left or right to adjust the size. A text s...
The Control Center is a convenient hub that gives you quick access to a bunch of settings and tools on your iPhone. There’s a layout of toggles available to use by default, but you might not find use in all of them. Luckily, iOS lets you customize what’s on your Control Center. To add, remove, or reposition the toggles, go to your Settings > Contro...
With iOS 13 comes the long-awaited Dark mode to give our eyes and battery a break. Aesthetically, it’s a nice touch that makes the iPhone feel new and it might help battery life a bit too, specifically on the iPhone 11 Proand iPhone 11 Pro Max as they have OLED panels. It’s easy to enable and permeates through certain stock wallpapers and compatibl...
Whether you’re new to iPhone or smartphones in general, you’re going to want to take advantage of the different notification settings to manage and keep track of your alerts. On the iPhone, you can choose how notifications pop up (if at all) per specific app, as well as how these per-app alerts are grouped. You can also choose whether or not to sho...
New to iOS 13 is the option to create your own contact photo and name to be displayed on other people’s iPhones. You can choose whether this is enabled for just contacts or everyone, though they have the final say on whether they accept your preferred information. This can be made independently of your Apple ID information. Tap into Settings > Mess...
For those with other Apple devices, this is a must. Texting from your MacBook is so seamless and easy, and Apple Watch and iPad texting are just as useful. This won’t work with Apple TV, as it’s not equipped for calls or messaging of any kind, but turn this on if you have other Apple products. For calls, simply navigate to Settings > Phone > Calls ...
This is a great one for weeding out robocalls and spam texts. Whereas Google’s Call Screening feature, meant to achieve a similar function, will actually ring and let you choose to screen the call, the iPhone’s “Silence Unknown Callers” feature won’t ring at all if enabled. Essentially, any phone call from a number not in your contacts, recent outg...
I’m not sure why Apple treats audio messages sent through iMessage as a sort of Snapchat-esque “listen once then it’s gone forever” message, but it does. The default setting is to have these messages expire after two minutes, and the only other option is never. If you’d like to choose the latter here’s how. Settings > Messages > Audio Messages > Ex...
With iOS 13 comes new privacy features and this is one of my favorites. iOS has long allowed you to choose per app whether you’d like it to have access to your location only while you’re using it, always, or never, but this new option can have the phone ask you every time it’s requested. It’s a nice option to have to keep track of who’s keeping tra...
The iPhone 11 series offers filming in 4K60 frames per second which saves only in the high-efficiency format, as well as the more universal 24 and 30 fps which store in the more compatible .mov format. This setting makes movies look ultra-smooth and the iPhone 11’s improved video stabilization makes it smoother. You can opt for 24 fps though if you...

- View and manage attachments. Messages can be used to send photos and videos. These are stored on your iPhone, but if you send and receive a lot of attachments, you'll need an easy way to view and manage them.
- Delete your messages. Deleting a single conversation is easy, and it's likely that you've done this many times. You only need to swipe left over a conversation in the main list of threads, tap the trashcan icon and tap "Delete" to confirm.
- Mute a conversation. Fed up of receiving alerts for certain conversations but still want to see notifications appearing for other chats? It's possible to hide alerts for a specific conversation, which means you won't see messages from that thread appear on your Lock Screen or be told that a message has arrived.
- Share your location. If you need someone to know where you are, you can share your whereabouts via Messages. Open the Messages app and either tap a conversation or start a new one.

- Go ultra wide. Both the iPhone 11 and 11 Pro have new ultra-wide cameras on the back. The 12-megapixel (f/2.2) camera is equivalent to a 13mm DSLR lens and has a 120-degree field of view, which is capable of fitting A LOT more in a shot.
- Ultra-wide panoramas. The ultra-wide camera also works for panoramas. Ultra-wide panoramas are way more distorted than with the wide lens, but, hey, if you want to do it, you can.
- Smarter selfies. The iPhone 11 and 11 Pro both come with 12-megapixel front-facing cameras. However, you don't always get 12 megapixels for every selfie.
- Change the aspect ratio to 16:9. On earlier iPhones, you have two aspect ratios to choose from: 4:3 (rectangle) or 1:1 (square), both of which are their own shooting modes.
