1. One important thing to know is that firmware updates exist and you will receive them for at least another five years. And always on time! — usedtoroot

2. For lovers night shooting I advise NeuralCam - it adds a night mode just like in the iPhone 11. — soonpls

3. It is important to set up an Emergency Call and an emergency contact list. — ommmyyy

4. Better to download Google Maps right away or one of the alternatives - the built-in Maps are terrible. — FocusedEucalyptus

5. The autonomy of the iPhone XS is far from the best due to the small battery, so it's better to use dark mode - black pixels are not highlighted, and this

saves charge. The power saving mode is also worthy of attention: I have an iPhone XR, and even when saving power, there is no lack of power at all, the phone does not get slower. — IrtahEnt

6. I also recently switched from Android to iOS, and at first it pissed me off how inconvenient it was to work with text. Then I realized that I only needed to figure out the controls:

• If you press anywhere on the keyboard and whine your finger, the keyboard will turn into a touchpad - it's very convenient to move the cursor exactly to the right place;
• To select text, place the cursor at the beginning of the desired section. Then, while holding space and Shift, slide your finger to the end of the phrase;
• To open a context menu with the ability to copy, cut, share or view a word or sentence in the dictionary, tap the selected text once;
• To select everything, place the cursor somewhere outside the middle of a word (for example, in front of a word or between spaces) and tap the cursor. You will be able to select the nearest word or all of the text.

7. To go to the previous open application, swipe the bar at the bottom of the screen. Also, learn to use AirDrop! — tim3assassin

8. In "Find iPhone" enable offline search and the "Last Geolocation" function (automatically saves geolocation data when the smartphone is about to run out, you can view the location via iCloud). Also, do not turn off Bluetooth, otherwise offline search will not work. — ommmyyy
