Need to learn how to transfer from your Android device to an iPhone, eh? Welcome! So glad you could come to your senses and join the world of iOS. Apple created an app that’s designed to make it easy to transfer pictures, contacts, photos, and more from an Android to your iPhone. We’ll cover each step in the full process so that you can easily migrate to iOS. We’re delighted you’ve decided to move from Android to iPhone, and we’ll do our best to make your first iPhone experience a seamless one. Here’s how to transfer from an Android device to the iPhone.

The beautiful edge-to-edge display of the iPhone X leaves no room for a Home button. But if you find yourself missing the old Home button, you can add an on-screen Home button to your iPhone X screen thanks to the accessibility features. This is actually something that anyone with an iPhone can do, and it comes in handy if you have an older iPhone with a broken Home button. For iPhone X users, however, it’s the only way to retrieve the lost Home button. It’s not for everyone, but it’s great for those who want it. Here’s how to add an on-screen Home button to your iPhone X.

One of, if not, the most talked about features of the iPhone X is Face ID. And it works eerily well. The process is so fast that you’re tempted to make sure it doesn't just let anybody in (don't worry, it doesn't). The iPhone X prompts you to set up Face ID when you set up your device for the first time, but if you skipped that part or feel like it didn't do as good of a job as you wanted it to, use this tip to set up Face ID in Settings. Here's how to set up Face ID on the iPhone X.

The Home button on iPhone served a lot of functions, which means Apple had to figure out a way to make those same functions work without a Home button. You can still easily access Apple Pay for both real-world and in-app purchases with your iPhone. And it’s not that different than before. Here’s how to use Apple Pay on the iPhone X.

Many users have just bought a new iPhone for the first time in many years because the iPhone 12 lineup is so impressive, but those who've never owned an iPhone X or later may not have experienced an iPhone without the classic Home button. If you're new to the no-Home-button ranks, no worries. In this article we'll show you how to close apps on an iPhone that doesn't have a Home button, and we'll discuss when you should force-close apps, and when you may not want to close apps on an iPhone.

Translating your speech from English to another language can come in handy if you're overseas shopping in a foreign country or chatting long distance with a non-English speaking colleague. To use Siri to translate, say something like "Hey, Siri, how do I ask where the bathroom is in French" and Siri will speak the translation for you. While Siri can’t translate other languages to American English, you can translate English to various other languages, including French, German, Spanish, Italian, and Mandarin Chinese. Here’s how to use Siri to translate English to other languages with the iPhone.

Gestures on the iPhone’s touch screen have always been important, but with no Home button on the iPhone X and later models, gestures become essential. To perform functions like a forced shut down or returning to the Home screen on your iPhone X, XS, XS Max, or XR, you're going to use unique gestures that combine the Side and Volume buttons in place of the missing Home button. Common features, like talking to Siri, opening Apple Pay, and closing apps, now have unique gestures that utilize your phone's physical buttons, Face ID, and the touch screen. This article covers all the tips you need to know, like how to use Reachability, take a screenshot, and how to temporarily disable Face ID on the iPhone X, XS, XS Max, and XR. Let’s get started with how to use gestures to navigate iPhone models X and later.

Without a Home button, how do you take a screenshot on iPhone? Previous models of iPhone took a screenshot when you clicked both the Home button and Sleep/Wake button (now considered the Side button). But taking a screenshot on iPhone X is slightly different, though not different enough to make it any more of a hassle. With iOS 11, a preview of your screenshot appears in the lower left corner immediately after taking the shot. You can then immediately mark up the image or even delete it if the screenshot was taken by mistake. So we'll cover all the ways you can edit a screenshot you've just taken on your iPhone X. Here’s how to take a screenshot on iPhone X and how to edit it with iOS 11.

YouTube is the new TV. And children everywhere are watching a lot of it. But the regular YouTube app isn't designed with parental controls in mind, which is why YouTube Kids is a great app for parents and grandparents to download. If you’ve ever hung out with a child, you know sometimes they just need a little distraction to settle down. But you also want to make sure they’re not accidentally (or not so accidentally) wandering into adult territory and watching something they shouldn't be. We’ll cover more on what the YouTube Kids app does and why we love it below.
