Mistakes that ruin the user experience with iPhone - 8
Here are some common mistakes users can make, from ignoring settings t
o unconscious habits, that can degrade the user experience.
Use default apps
Apple pre-installs its o
wn apps for email, web browsing, and messaging, but users don't necessarily need to use them. There are plenty of third-party apps
the user experience.

If you've switched from Android to iPhone and are familiar with Google app
s like Chrome, Gboard, and Gmail, you can set them as your defaults. Likewise, you can replace Apple's default
password manager with a more robust one that works seamlessly across all your devices.

iOS's Notification Center is
n't the best option for managing notifications, with the constant pings from multiple apps becoming overwhelming. However
, users can easily control this stream of alerts using the Notification Summary feature.
Go to Settings > Notifications > Scheduled Briefing and toggle it on. Once set up, your iPhone will group non-urgent notifications and send
them at the times you specify, helping users stay focused on work and other activities.
Don't customize Control Center and Lock Screen
The iPhone's default lock screen provides shortcuts to the flashlight and camera. If t
ese aren't apps you use often, replace them with apps like Magnifier, Apple Remote, WhatsApp, or any other app you prefer.

Users can also customize Control Center to add shortcuts to their favorite actions, like Notes for jotting down ideas, Shazam for identifying songs, or ChatGPT for asking questions. This gives users easy access to the tools they need most.
Skip Back Tap function
Back Tap is an accessibility option that lets users trigger actions by simply double or triple tapping the back of their iPhone. Users can use it to take a screenshot, mute their device, open the camera, activate Siri, or launch an app. If you haven't tried it, you're missing out on a handy shortcut.
Don't clean up the home screen
With iOS, any newly downloaded app automatically appears on the home screen, leading to clutter that not only makes it difficult for users to find their favorite apps, but also hinders productivity.

To fix this, users can adjust their home screen settings by going to Settings > Home Screen & App Library and selecting App Library Only. Users can still add apps to the home screen as needed.
Using the Shortcuts app is not effective
Do you regularly turn off Wi-Fi when you leave the house, turn on Low Power Mode when your battery drops below 30%, or set a sleep timer while you listen to a podcast? With Apple's Shortcuts app, you can automate all of these tasks.
While it may take some time to get used to the app, the rewards are well worth it. Users can trigger actions based on time, location, or device status, saving time and effort.
No battery charging optimization
While iPhone batteries degrade over time, this process can happen more quickly if you don't use Optimized Battery Charging. This feature pauses the iPhone's charging at 80% during extended periods of plugging in and intelligently resumes charging based on your daily routine, which is useful if you often charge your iPhone overnight.
