iPhone User Guide: Ultimate Directory for Everything iPhone

This iPhone User Guide is your one-stop resource for mastering every feature of your iPhone. Whether you're setting up a new device, troubleshooting an issue, or exploring advanced tools, this guide provides step-by-step instructions for essential tasks—all explained in clear.

Getting Started & Staying Secure

Essential setup and security features every user needs

1. Find My iPhone: Your Permanent Safety Net

Find My iPhone is a built-in security tool that helps you locate your device if it’s lost or stolen. When enabled, it shows your iPhone’s real-time location on a map in the Find My app (on another Apple device or at iCloud.com). If your phone is offline, it uses nearby Apple devices to detect its location.

You can also remotely lock your iPhone to protect personal information, display a contact message on the lock screen, or erase all data if recovery isn’t possible. Always keep this turned on—it’s your first defense against loss or theft. Only disable it if you’re selling or resetting your device. Need to temporarily turn it off? Follow our guide: → How to turn off Find My iPhone

2. Emergency Access: Regain Control If Locked Out

If you forget your iPhone passcode, you’re not permanently locked out. Apple provides ways to recover access without losing your data. For newer iPhones (X and later), connect your device to a computer with a USB cable, open Finder (Mac) or iTunes (PC), and put the iPhone into Recovery Mode by pressing and releasing volume buttons, then holding the side button until the recovery screen appears.

Your computer will guide you through restoring access. For older models, use iCloud’s "Erase iPhone" option via Find My—this deletes data but lets you use backups to restore photos, messages, and apps. Avoid third-party tools; these official methods are safer and free. Full steps here: → How to get into a locked iPhone

3. Exit SOS Mode Immediately

If your iPhone shows "SOS" in the status bar, it means you’ve accidentally triggered Emergency SOS. This happens when you rapidly press the side button (or hold side + volume buttons). In this mode, your phone can only call emergency services.

To disable it, unlock your iPhone, go to Settings > Emergency SOS, and turn off "Call with Hold" or "Call with 5 Presses." If the SOS countdown starts, release the buttons immediately and tap "Cancel." Leaving SOS mode active drains battery and limits functionality. Need visual guidance? → Get iPhone out of SOS mode

Why These Features Matter

Communication Mastery

Control calls, messages, and privacy

1. Stop Unwanted Calls

Blocking spam calls prevents scams and interruptions. In iOS 18, go to Settings > Phone > Silence Unknown Callers. This sends calls from numbers not in your contacts straight to voicemail. For persistent telemarketers, use Settings > Phone > Blocked Contacts to add numbers manually. For advanced spam detection, third-party apps like RoboKiller (linked in our guide) add extra filters.
→ Detailed guide: Block spam calls on iPhone

2. Manage Blocked Contacts

To see who you’ve blocked: Open Settings > Phone > Blocked Contacts. A list of all blocked numbers appears here. To unblock someone, swipe left on their number and tap "Unblock." Blocked messages are stored separately: Go to Settings > Messages > Blocked Contacts to view them. Note: Blocked contacts cannot call, text, or FaceTime you.
→ See blocked numbers | → See blocked messages

3. Texting Blocked Contacts

If someone blocks you, your iMessages will show as "Delivered" but never read. You cannot force texts through. Workarounds include:

• Sending an email or calling from a different number.
• Using a mutual friend’s phone.
  Important: Avoid third-party apps claiming to bypass blocks—they often violate Apple’s policies.
  → Ethical workarounds: Text someone who blocked you

4. FaceTime Setup

Start a video call in 3 steps:

1. Open the FaceTime app.
2. Tap + and type the person’s phone number or Apple ID.
3. Tap the video camera icon to call.
   To include Android users: Create a link in FaceTime (Create Link), then share it via text/email. Android users join by tapping the link in their web browser.
   → Basic FaceTime guide | → FaceTime with Android users

5. Recording Calls

Legally record phone calls using these approved methods:

• Voice Memos app: Start recording, then merge calls using Merge Calls(works for incoming/outgoing calls).
• Screen recording: Enable in Settings > Control Center, then swipe down, tap the ● icon during a call.
  Always:
• Notify the other person.
• Check your state’s recording laws (some require two-party consent).
  → Safe recording steps

Key Communication Settings Summary

Connectivity & Internet

1. Wi-Fi Setup

Connecting your iPhone to Wi-Fi lets you browse the internet, download apps, and stream videos without using cellular data. To join a network, open Settings > Wi-Fi, toggle it on, then select your home or public network.

Enter the password if required—it’s case-sensitive, so check capitals! If you can’t connect, restart your router or "forget" the network in Settings and rejoin. For detailed troubleshooting (like fixing "No Internet Connection" errors), see our iPhone Wi-Fi settings guide.

2. Bluetooth Pairing

Bluetooth wirelessly connects your iPhone to headphones, speakers, car systems, or smartwatches. Enable it via Settings > Bluetooth or the Control Center (swipe down from the top-right corner).

Put your accessory in "pairing mode" (check its manual), then tap its name under "Other Devices" on your iPhone. Once connected, you’ll see "Connected" next to its name. If pairing fails, ensure both devices are charged, within 10 feet, and restart Bluetooth. Master all scenarios in our iPhone Bluetooth guide.

3. Web Controls

Pop-ups: Some websites (like banks or ticket vendors) require pop-ups to function. If they’re blocked, go to Settings > Safari > Block Pop-ups and toggle it OFF. Only disable this temporarily—re-enable it afterward to avoid intrusive ads.

Website Restrictions: To block unsafe or distracting sites (for kids or focus time), use Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > Content Restrictions > Web Content. Choose "Limit Adult Websites" or add specific URLs to a "Never Allow" list. Full steps are in our Block websites on iPhoneguide.

4. Secure Browsing with VPN

A VPN (Virtual Private Network) encrypts your internet connection, hiding your activity from hackers on public Wi-Fi (like at coffee shops or airports). To set one up:

1. Subscribe to a trusted VPN service (e.g., NordVPN or ExpressVPN).
2. Download their app from the App Store.
3. Open the app, sign in, and tap "Connect."
   Your IP address will change instantly. Always enable VPNs when using public networks—they slow speeds slightly but protect sensitive data. For setup screenshots and troubleshooting, visit How to use a VPN on iPhone.

Why This Matters

Pro Tip: Struggling with weak Wi-Fi? Move closer to your router or use Settings > Wi-Fi > [Your Network] > DNS to switch to Google DNS (8.8.8.8). For Bluetooth audio fixes, try Audio Mix for iPhone to balance sound levels.

"Connectivity issues? 90% are solved by restarting your iPhone or router."

Data Management

Transfers, backups, and file organization

1. Switch from Android to iPhone

Moving from an Android device to an iPhone requires careful data transfer to avoid losing important information. You'll need to use Apple's "Move to iOS" app (available on Google Play Store) to wirelessly transfer contacts, message history, photos, videos, email accounts, and calendars during initial setup.

For WhatsApp conversations, you must use WhatsApp's own transfer tool while both phones are connected to the same Wi-Fi network. This ensures your chat history, photos, and voice messages move securely to your new iPhone without third-party apps.
→ Transfer data from Android
→ Move WhatsApp chats

2. Upgrade to a New iPhone

When upgrading to a newer iPhone model, you have three reliable transfer methods: Quick Start (using device proximity for wireless transfer), iCloud backup (stores data in the cloud), or direct cable connection (fastest method using USB-C to Lightning/USB-C cable).

All three methods transfer apps, settings, Home Screen layout, messages, photos, health data, and even your Apple Watch pairings. For best results, ensure both devices have iOS 15 or later, 50%+ battery, and Bluetooth enabled before starting.
→ iPhone to iPhone transfer

3. Backup Photos and Videos

To free up storage space or preserve memories, transfer media to your computer using these methods: For PCs, connect your iPhone via USB cable > Open Windows Photos app > Select "Import" > Choose photos/videos.

On Macs, use Image Capture or Photos app. For wireless transfers, enable iCloud Photos (Settings > [Your Name] > iCloud > Photos) or use third-party apps like Google Photos. Always verify transfers before deleting originals.
→ Transfer photos to PC
→ Transfer videos to computer

4. PDF Management

iPhones handle PDFs through the Files app: To download PDFs, tap any PDF link in Safari > Tap the share icon > Select "Save to Files" > Choose location.

To create PDFs, open content (webpage, note, or photo) > Tap share icon > Choose "Print" > Pinch outward on the print preview > Tap share icon again > "Save to Files". For editing, use Markup tools (tap PDF > select Markup icon). Organize PDFs in labeled folders within the Files app for easy access.
