Congratulations! You just unwrapped a brand-new iPhone! Once you finish going through Apple’s walkthrough to set everything up, you’ll probably want to get some apps installed on your new pocket supercomputer! So we’ve put together a list of some of the most important ones to start you off. Looking for games? Check out our list here.
We’ve rounded up our favorite and most-used apps and utilities for the technology we use every day. Check out our other picks for Android phones, PCs, and Macs. We’ve also listed our favorite games for iOS and Android from this year.
You use Facebook. Your friends use Facebook. Your family uses Facebook. Like it or not, you’ll want the Facebook app on your phone to keep up with the latest in the lives of friends from high school you don’t talk to and relatives you haven’t seen in years. Make sure to grab the separate Facebook Messenger app too, so that you can chat with them.
Tweetbot
Twitter has its own app for iOS, but Tweetbot is better. With powerful muting tools and a far more focused user-experience than Twitter’s app, Tweetbot is the best way to Tweet on the go.
