Buying an iPhone for the first time? Follow these steps for a smooth transition

If you have just purchased your first iPhone and are shifting to iOS from Android, you need to follow these essential tips to ensure a smooth transition. 

iPhone Tips and Tricks: First, you will need to create an Apple ID, which is a digital account that ensures a seamless user experience across the Apple ecosystem. You can use your primary email along with the phone number you intend to use on your new Apple device. It is to be noted that to use features like iCloud, Apple Store, and more, Apple ID is essential. Additionally, every new ID gets 5 GB of complimentary iCloud storage.  

iPhone Tips and Tricks: You can download the Move to iOS app to ensure seamless transfer of all the app data from Android to iOS devices. Importantly, transferring WhatsApp data should be done before fully setting up your iPhone. Since WhatsApp uses cloud backup on Android and iCloud on iPhone, it is crucial to transfer WhatsApp data before configuring your Apple device. 

iPhone Tips and Tricks: Next, install your favourite apps and games. Like Android, iOS offers most of the apps free of cost. If you are transitioning from iOS to iOS, data transfer will be smooth. However, if you’re moving from Android to iOS, you’ll need to manually download apps from the App Store.  

iPhone Tips and Tricks: Apple is currently offering three months of Apple TV+ subscription for new iPhone users and a one-month free subscription to Apple Music. Don’t forget to redeem these offers!

iPhone Tips and Tricks: Lastly, consider getting a screen protector and a protective case to safeguard your iPhone against accidental falls and bruises. You can also opt to extend the warranty of your device through Apple Care+, which offers two additional years of warranty with protection against accidental damages.
