Best Wedding Planning Apps of 2023

Planning a wedding is fun but can quickly become a full-time job if you’re not careful. Thankfully, there are a ton of apps and services to simplify the process and cut down on the stress and time spent planning your special day. Whether you’re looking to find the perfect venue, design your own invitations, search for a vendor, or build a user-friendly registry, these wedding planning apps are a crucial tool for anyone tying the knot. Related: How to Turn Off Vibration Alerts on Your iPhone 1. Zola - (Free) This app originated as a simple gift registry but has evolved into a full-scale wedding planner. Zola has streamlined the process of building a registry, with a simple Tinderesque swiping process for household appliances commonly gifted to newlyweds. Zola can also help you manage your guest list and collect RSVPs. One feature I love is that you can upload your own spreadsheet with your guests’ contact information to quickly build your guest list. You can also design a free website with a modern aesthetic for your wedding. 2. PANTONE Studio - ($4.99/month) Picking the color theme for your wedding is a great first step, and it’s fun! This app allows you to test colors together, suggests pleasing color palettes, and can even find a shade based on a photo on your iPhone. This app simplifies the process of color-matching your bridesmaids’ dresses, invites, napkins, and flowers. 3. Pinterest - (Free) Pinterest is the best place to go for inspiration. You can pin images and articles to a board with a specific theme. Using this format, you can view wedding-themed boards created by other users to make specific plans for every aspect of your special day, from the save-the-dates to the table settings. 4. Wedding Planner by The Knot - (Free) Both Wedding Wire and its parent company The Knot excel at helping you track down the perfect vendors. You can also build a website for your guests to visit with all the details of your event. Whether you’re on the hunt for a photographer with a unique eye, a DJ that can keep your guests on the dance floor during the reception, a local florist, or a catering team that specializes in wedding meal planning, Wedding Wire and The Knot are hands down the best. 5. Minted: The Address Book - (Free) This app works with graphic designers to offer great-looking, ready-made invitations, save-the-dates, and ceremony programs. Every element of the design can be customized to fit the style of your event. Minted offers a printing service, or you can export your designs to print your stationery from home or at your local print shop. 6. Google Drive - (Free) Keep your wedding planning in a central, easy-to-access place using Google Drive. Spreadsheets detailing your guest list, vendor contracts, budget information, checklists, and inspiration photos can all be stored in a Google Drive folder for easy access by anyone with a Gmail account. The free app for iPhone and iPad is a great way to keep your fiancĂ©, parents, planner, and vendors on the same page. 7. Apple Music / Spotify / Tidal - (Free or Monthly Subscription) Music has a huge impact on the way the day will feel to you and your guests. Get started early by building shared playlists with your fiancĂ© to make sure your day feels exactly the way you want it to. All of these streaming services offer public playlists which can offer unique music ideas for walking down the aisle, the first dance, parent dances, cutting the cake, and even music to listen to while wedding planning!

Wi-Fi Privacy Warning on an iPhone: What It Means & What To Do (2023)

What To Know * When your iPhone, iPad, or Apple Watch shows a weak security or privacy warning, it means that joining that Wi-Fi network could lead to user tracking/profiling. * To turn a Privacy Warning off, open Settings > Wi-Fi > tap the info icon > toggle on Private Wi-Fi Address.  * When you use a Private Wi-Fi address, your device uses a different Media Access Control (MAC) address for each Wi-Fi network. You try to connect your iPhone, iPad, or Apple Watch to a Wi-Fi network, only to have a Wi-Fi privacy warning pop up. Apple is helpful to give us these security alerts, but what does this privacy warning mean? Here's what a Wi-Fi privacy warning means, and what to do about it. Wi-Fi Privacy Warning on an iPhone, iPad & Apple Watch: What It Means & What To Do You won't have to turn on Private Wi-Fi Address if your iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch are updated to iOS 14, iPadOS 14, and watchOS 7, because it's automatically enabled! You may need to turn Private Wi-Fi address off, however, if your iPhone is not connecting to Wi-Fi or won't allow network or internet access after joining. This is because some Wi-Fi networks will not allow your Apple device to join with Private Wi-Fi Address enabled. You'll know this is the case if you see a warning that says, "This network is blocking encrypted DNS traffic" or "Your network settings prevent content from loading privately." You'll have to decide on a case-by-case basis if you feel safe toggling off Private Wi-Fi Address. For more iPhone tutorials, check out our free Tip of the Day newsletter. * Tap the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.  * Tap Wi-Fi.  * Tap the info icon next to the Wi-Fi network you've joined.  * Toggle on Private Wi-Fi address to have your iPhone or iPad join the Wi-Fi network with a unique MAC address. Your iPhone will use a different private address if you haven't joined the Wi-Fi network in six weeks, made your iPhone forget the network, or if you reset network settings or erase all contents and settings on your device.  How To Turn Private Wi-Fi Address On & Off on Apple Watch Responding to a Wi-Fi privacy warning is just as easy on your Apple Watch as it is on your iPhone and iPad. To do this: * Open the Settings app on your Apple Watch by pressing the Side Crown, then tapping the Settings icon.   * Tap Wi-Fi.   * Now, swipe left on the name of the Wi-Fi network you want to join and tap the More icon (three dots). If you've already joined the Wi-Fi network, just tap the name.  * Now toggle Private Address on (right and green) or off (left and gray). Related: Protect Your iPhone from Hackers with These Essential Tips  Now that you know how to turn Private Wi-Fi Address off and on, you know what to do when you get the "This network is blocking encrypted DNS traffic" warning. Just remember, turning off Private Wi-Fi Address will open you up to user tracking and profiling.  How-ToApple WatchiPadiPhoneSettingsWi-FiPrivacy & SecurityMaster your iPhone in one minute a day: Sign up here to get our FREE Tip of the Day delivered right to your inbox.

HomePod Won't Turn On? Here's Every Fix (2023)

What to Know * If your HomePod won't turn on, it may be connected to an unreliable power source. * You can restart your HomePod by unplugging it for ten seconds and then plugging it back in, or in the Home app > HomePod > Reset HomePod... > Restart HomePod. * Sometimes a HomePod won't turn on because it is broken and needs a replacement. If your HomePod or HomePod mini is not turning on, you may feel like throwing it out the window and starting fresh with a brand-new one, but there are a few things to try before you rush out for a replacement. Here are all the steps to try to get your HomePod working again and how to know when it's time to call Apple. What to Do If Your HomePod Won't Turn On Make Sure You're Connected to Reliable Power The most common reason why a HomePod or HomePod mini won't turn on is that it isn't connected to a power source. HomePods are not battery-powered, so they need to be plugged in to work. Check to make sure your HomePod's cable is connected to a working outlet and that the electricity in your home is working. A loose cable or a broken outlet might very well be to blame for your HomePod or HomePod mini not turning on. Check Your Wi-Fi If your Wi-Fi is down, your HomePod may experience connection issues that make it seem like it is not turning on. Check to make sure your Wi-Fi is up and running if you're running into HomePod issues, and, if it is working, try disconnecting and reconnecting your iPhone to your Wi-Fi to see if that resolves the issue. For more Apple troubleshooting tips, check out our free Tip of the Day newsletter. Restart Your HomePod If your power source is stable and your Wi-Fi is up and running, it's time to restart your HomePod. Restarting your HomePod can get your HomePod out of a glitch loop and get your HomePod back on track. To reset your HomePod, you can either unplug your HomePod, wait ten seconds, and plug it back in, or restart it through your Home app. Make sure your HomePod is plugged in before trying these steps: * Open your Home app. * Tap on your HomePod. * Scroll to the bottom of the screen that pops up (you may have to wait a few seconds for the scroll option to become available). * Tap Reset HomePod... * Tap Restart HomePod. Your HomePod will restart and your problem may be solved! Reset Your HomePod If restarting doesn't do the trick, resetting might. Resetting your HomePod means removing it as an accessory that your Apple device recognizes and adding it again. Sometimes this kind of reset is needed to break a loop causing a glitch. Check Your Speaker If you think your HomePod isn't working because you're not seeing any lights and the touch controls aren't working, check to see if Siri is working. Say "Hey Siri" and give a command to see if your HomePod is still working. There may be an issue with the lights and/or touch panel if Siri is working and you just aren't getting the visual or touch response you're looking for. Update Your HomePod If your HomePod or HomePod mini is not turning on, updating your HomePod might solve your issue. Fortunately, you can update your HomePod through your phone, so you don't necessarily run into the challenge of the technical issue blocking the update.  Delete and Re-Install Your Home App A bug in your Home app might be causing the issue, so if you've made it this far without any success, try deleting and reinstalling your Home app. This may break whatever cycle your HomePod is stuck in and get you back on track. Contact Apple Support If none of this works, it's time to contact Apple Support. You may be experiencing a hardware issue that only the experts can tackle.

How to Quickly Retrieve Deleted Voicemail on iPhone (2023)

What to Know: * To retrieve a deleted voicemail, go to your Voicemail inbox it the Phone app and scroll down through your voicemails to find the Deleted Voicemails folder.  * You can only restore a deleted voicemail for the first thirty days after it's initial deletion. We've all accidentally deleted an important voicemail or deleted a voicemail only to realize we need it back. Thankfully, there is a way to retrieve deleted voicemails on your iPhone and it's pretty simple. Be aware that an iPhone will only store a deleted voicemail for thirty days before permanently deleting it. Let's get into how to retrieve deleted voicemails on iPhone. How to Retrieve Deleted Voicemail Luckily, your iPhone will store a deleted voicemail for up to thirty days after its original deletion. However, if you're trying to access a voicemail that was deleted longer ago than thirty days, you will not be able to. If you like tips like this about how to use your iPhone, be sure to sign up for our free Tip of the Day. Here's how to undelete voicemails on iPhone. Important Note: If you delete a voicemail, your iPhone will only hold onto it for thirty days, so don't wait to undelete a voicemail once you've discovered it! * On your iPhone, open the Phone app. * Tap Voicemail. * Scroll to the very bottom of your voicemails (if you have many), and tap Deleted Messages. * Tap the voicemail you want to undelete. (Makes sure to tap in the middle of the voicemail, not the info icon to the side.) * Tap the red trashcan with a slash through it. The message will automatically be moved back into your main voicemail box. And that's it! Super simple and a total lifesaver if you're one to do things quickly like me!

What Happens If I Reset My iPhone or iPad? (2023)

What To Know * You can reset your iPhone's network settings, keyboard, or Home Screen layout, or do a full factory reset.  * When you factory reset or wipe your iPhone, you erase all contents and settings. * You can restore your iPhone or iPad using Finder, iTunes, or iCloud.  You may need to reset certain settings or do a full factory reset on your iPhone or iPad if you're experiencing problems with your Apple device, or if you plan to sell it. But what happens when you reset your iPhone? Let's get into it! For more great iPhone and iPad tutorials, check out our free Tip of the Day.  What Happens If I Reset My iPhone or iPad? When people ask about what happens when they reset their iPhone or iPad, they're most often asking about a factory reset. When you erase or factory reset your iPhone or iPad, all data, contents, and settings are wiped. So, all the settings you've customized, as well as data such as contacts, photos, messages, and app data will be gone. This is why people take the step of factory resetting; it erases everything so that the iPhone or iPad is ready to give or sell to someone else, or erases any contents or settings that may be causing the iPhone to glitch. Once you reset your iPhone, it's like a new iPhone straight out of the box. Whoever purchases your iPhone or iPad will need to set it up like a new iPhone. If you've factory restored your iPhone and are keeping it, you'll need to restore it using Finder, iTunes, or iCloud.   There are other ways to reset your iPhone, though, and these methods only reset part of your iPhone's settings, or just one feature. Let's go over what these options are, and what happens when you reset your iPhone in these ways. Reset All Settings This option restores your iPhone settings to factory default settings, just like a new iPhone, but without deleting any other data or contents on your iPhone. You also have the option to reset certain settings instead of all of them.  Reset Network Settings Resetting network settings deletes all your Bluetooth and internet settings and can often solve internet connectivity issues that have persisted despite other fixes like making sure your router is operational and Wi-Fi is working, and rebooting your iPhone. Delete All eSIMs You'll only need to take this step if your cellular carrier recommends it. This will only happen if you need to transfer your eSIM's phone number to a new iPhone, or if you're going to sell, trade in, or give away your iPhone. Reset Keyboard Dictionary People most often reset the keyboard dictionary when other fixes haven't solved predictive text errors. When you reset your keyboard dictionary, you'll lose all the keyboard shortcuts you've created, and the predictive text suggestions your iPhone has accumulated for you over the months or years. Reset Home Screen Layout If you've moved your apps from Home Screen to Home Screen or created a lot of folders that you don't want anymore, this is the easiest way to restore your pre-installed apps to their original factory layout. Your other apps will be reorganized alphabetically. Reset Location & Privacy Location and privacy settings on your iPhone and iPad allow you to give apps permission to use your location, access data such as your contacts and photos, and use the microphone and speaker. When your location and privacy settings are reset, apps won't be able to use your location and data until you give them permission again. How To Reset Your iPhone If you're having problems with your iPad or iPhone that just won't resolve, the solution is often to reset specific settings or do a full factory reset.  Here's how: * Open the Setting App on your iPhone or iPad. * Tap General. * Scroll down to the bottom and tap Transfer or Reset iPhone. * If you want to Factory Reset your iPhone or iPad, follow these steps before tapping Erase All Contents and Settings. If you only want to Reset All Settings, Reset Network Settings, Delete All eSIMs, Reset Keyboard Dictionary, Reset Home Screen Layout, or Reset Location & Privacy, tap Reset. * Now you can choose to Reset All Settings, Reset Network Settings, Delete All eSIMs, Reset Keyboard Dictionary, Reset Home Screen Layout, or Reset Location & Privacy.

How to Customize Apple's New iCloud Website (2023)

What to Know * The updated iCloud website makes accessing your data much easier.  * You can customize your iCloud Home page in the same way you can edit iPhone widgets and apps. Although Apple device owners have been able to access their stored iCloud data via the iCloud website for years, previous iterations have been bare-bones. Apple recently redesigned the iCloud website, and the result is a simple and engaging design, complete with a host of personalization options. Now you can choose app widgets to display and organize the layout. Let's check it out! How to Customize Your iCloud Home Page It's not very often that you get to pick and choose what appears on the dashboard or Home page of a website, but that's exactly what Apple has done with their new iCloud website. If you like tips about how to use all-things Apple, be sure to sign up for our free Tip of the Day Newsletter. Now, here's what's included on the new iCloud homepage: * On the device of your choosing, go to iCloud.com. * Log in with your Apple ID. * You'll see the standard widgets and apps displayed on the new iCloud website. (The layout will also shift depending on the size of your browser window.) * At the bottom of the page you'll see your iCloud account summary, which displays information like the amount of used storage. * Just above your iCloud summary, you'll see a Customize Home Page button. Click it to begin editing your dashboard. * The apps and widgets will enter wiggle mode, and from here you can tap the minus sign in the top left corner of each app to delete it from the home page. * Click and drag an app or widget to rearrange the order. * To add another app or widget, click Add Tile in the top left corner.  * You can select an app from the list to add it to your home page.  * When you're finished editing your iCloud Home page, click Done. And that's all there is to it! I'm pleased about Apple's recent updates to the iCloud website, which makes it a lot more user-friendly. As a final note, if you haven't already created a backup of your computer files, you can learn how to back up your Mac to iCloud.

How to Use the Apple Watch Ultra Siren (2023)

What to Know * The Apple Watch Ultra siren can be heard from up to 600 feet away. * If your Apple Watch is wet, the siren will be quieter than 86 decibels. The Apple Watch Ultra is marketed for extreme athletes who may take on more risky activities in their lives. One of the most exciting features for hikers and off-road adventurers is the emergency siren that can be heard from up to 600 feet away! I'll teach you how to use the Apple Watch Ultra Siren, which has the potential to save lives. How to Turn Your Apple Watch Ultra Siren On & Off If you are in a pickle, using the Apple Watch Ultra siren can help summon help from someone passing by or the emergency services searching for you. To learn more about your Apple Watch Ultra, remember to sign up for our free Tip of the Day newsletter. To access the Apple Watch Ultra siren: * Hold in the Side button. * Swipe the Siren slider all the way to the right. * The siren will start sounding. You will see the time of day and watch battery life on your display. * Tap the stop button to end the siren if you want to take a break. * Tap the play button to start it again. * Click the Home button to leave the siren menu. * You can also find the Siren Menu by tapping the Siren app icon on your Home screen. * If you have internet or a cellular network, you can also activate Siri and say, “Open Siren.” I find decibels difficult to understand. Do you know how many dB is a police siren? Usually 110-120 dB! This means that your Apple Watch Ultra is quieter but still comparable to an emergency vehicle siren. Warning: Are you wondering how to turn up the volume on my Apple Watch?  Now you know how to use the potentially life-saving Apple Watch Ultra siren feature!

Must-Have Accessories for the iPhone 14 Series

When I set out to write this article, I was looking for the most functional, stylish, easy-to-use, and well-made iPhone 14 accessories on the market. After testing a huge pile of every kind of case, charger, dock, and battery, I still had twice as many products as I could include, so I prioritized the most essential gear here. Without further ado, here is the gear most worthy of your shiny new iPhone 14. 1. Spigen EZ Fit Optik Pro lens protector - $14.99 With every new model, the iPhone’s camera lenses get bigger and more prominent, and therefore easier to damage. The Optik Pro lens protectors work with the entire 14 Series, are straightforward to install, and are unobtrusive once in use. 2. Belkin BoostCharge Dual Wall Charger 40W - $29.99 Like all recent iPhone models, the iPhone 14 series comes with a USB-C to Lightning cable, but no wall adapter. While Apple claims it is looking out for the environment by nobly reducing excess packaging, this means the first accessory I needed to acquire for my new 14 Pro was my own wall charger (and its accompanying packaging). This Belkin Wall Charger is the perfect solution: It has two USB-C ports, so I can also charge a second device, and a 40-watt output for fast charging. Related: Can You Use an iPad Charger for iPhone? Here's What to Know (2023) 3. Catalyst Crux Case - $49.99 I like to take pictures when I’m out hiking in the mountains, but I also tend to drop my iPhone a lot. The Crux has saved me from disaster many times thanks to the included lanyard. And if I should lose my grip when not using the lanyard, the 10-foot drop protection increases the chances of my 14 Pro surviving my klutziness. The Crux is very easy to get on and off, which I appreciate because I don’t like to use a rugged case for daily use. If you do prefer a rugged case for everyday use, the Spigen Geo Armor 360 ($31.99) is another excellent option. The two-part case comes with optional screen protection, but also works without it or with your own screen protector. The more I used the case, the more impressed I was with Spigen’s attention to the details that make an iPhone case stand out. The buttons were satisfyingly easy to press, the case was easy to put on and take off, and even though the Geo Armor 360 makes the iPhone slightly bigger, somehow the iPhone still felt and looked slim and sleek. 4. Zagg Glass Elite Privacy 360 - $59.99 Zagg has been in the screen protector business for a long time and it shows. The Glass Elite Privacy was simple to install, works perfectly with all my cases, and comes with a screen repair guarantee. Most importantly, the privacy filter protects sensitive on-screen information such as banking apps or the day’s Wordle results from prying eyes. 5. CaseMate Karat Marble (MagSafe) - $50 For everyday use, I love stylish cases that let the color of my iPhone show through (hello, purple!), but add to it in a fun or beautiful way. The Karat Marble’s opaque white marble design at the bottom that transitions to gold sparkles and then clear does that perfectly while offering 10-foot drop protection. CaseMate sells iPhone 14 Series cases in a variety of fun designs; just make sure you are buying the MagSafe version. I regularly switch between the Karat Marble case and the Zagg Milan Snap ($59.99). Not only is the Milan Snap MagSafe compatible, but it will also protect my phone from drops up to 13 feet. And the translucent Sunset Ombre color looked amazing with the purple of my iPhone. 6. Smartish Side Hustle MagSafe Compatible Wallet - $24.99 Every case featured here is MagSafe compatible, and accessories like this are the reason why. Rather than add a wallet case to my already full rotation of iPhone cases, I prefer to use a MagSafe wallet that works with whichever case I’m using that day. The Side Hustle is my iPhone wallet of choice because I can insert up to three cards when most of the other wallets I tested only fit two. Whether I’m carrying one card or three, the Side Hustle holds them securely in place and then easily releases them when I need them. 7. Zens Liberty Wireless Charger Glass - $168.95 The clear charging surface that gives this Qi charging pad its name shows off the 16 copper coils underneath, and I’m obsessed with how beautiful it looks. I love that I can set my iPhone and another device down to start charging without worrying about getting the placement just right and that I also can charge a third device via the USB-A port. I’ll definitely be getting the Zens Aluminum Apple Watch USB-stick ($44.99) so I can charge my Apple Watch at the same time as my 14 Pro. 8. Zagg 3-in-1 Travel Charger with MagSafe - $149.95 Without fail, when I’m traveling, I’m sure to leave at least one essential charging accessory behind. But thanks to this portable charger and the attractive felt carrying case that neatly holds the charger, wall adapter, and cable all together, the days of nursing my iPhone along in Low Power Mode until I can get my hands on a new cable are gone. The charger itself folds in thirds into a lightweight, compact unit and unfolds to reveal a wireless iPhone, AirPods, and Apple Watch charger that fits neatly on a hotel nightstand. 9. Jabra Elite 7 Active Wireless Earbuds - $179.99 I’ve used AirPods with my iPhone almost exclusively since Apple introduced them, but they don’t quite cut it as workout earbuds. These wireless earbuds stay securely in my ears even when I’m cycling on uneven terrain or I’m in downward dog. The Elite 7 Active can stand up to the moisture that comes with working up a sweat, and they have great sound quality that I customized for my personal hearing in Jabra’s Sound+ app. I appreciate the way the HearThrough feature and Active Noise Cancellation let me either stay aware of my surroundings when running outside or tune them out when working out at the gym. 10. Anker 610 Magnetic Phone Grip (MagGo) - Starting at $15.99 The iPhone 14 Pro Max has a lot going for it, including its bigger screen. The downside is that it can be harder for those of us with smaller hands to get a good grip on it. If you’ve ever dropped your iPhone on your face while using it in bed or struggled to text one-handed, you know what I’m talking about. This phone grip from Anker keeps your MagSafe-compatible iPhone securely in your hand while you use it. The center ring even rotates so you can get just the right grip, plus it doubles as a kickstand!

How to Take Better iPhone Photos in a Snap

Once you’ve got an iPhone in your pocket or purse, it’s quick to become your go-to camera just because it’s there and ready, whether for taking selfies, family photos, or even more artistic fare. Personally, I almost never carry my expensive DSLR camera anymore. Instead, I keep a few tips in mind and a pocket full of small accessories so I’ll be ready when the light is just right. 1. Blur the Foreground in Portrait Mode We’re all familiar with the blur that Portrait mode adds to the backgrounds of our images, but one failure of that effect was how it would skip any foreground elements, making it feel somewhat artificial. No more! Try setting up a shot in Portrait mode that includes a foreground element (flowers or greenery are great for this), then tap on the subject of the photo and you’ll see the foreground as blurry and beautiful as the background.

Edit Your Photos to Create a Look When you edit a photo in the Photos app, you have enormous power to change its style, color, framing, and feel. Open the photo you want to edit and tap the Edit button, then tap the adjust icon (which looks like a dial) and make your tweaks by selecting an effect icon in the menu just below your photo and using the slider to adjust. For more drama, try shifting the blacks a little darker. For that washed-out retro look, try lowering the contrast and adding a light-color vignette. For a vibrant spring look, turn up the brilliance a little and add a pinch of definition. Whether you’re looking to improve a shot or just go for a different vibe, you’ve got tons of options. 3. Copy Your Look to Other Photos With iOS 16, you can apply the same effects you dialed in for a single shot to all the photos you want in a few quick taps, turning your whole weekend photography session from cottage core to noir in an instant. Once you’re finished editing a single photo, tap Done and return to your album. Then select that photo by tapping select, then tapping the photo. With it selected, tap the three-dot more icon at the bottom right and tap on copy edits. With the edits copied to your clipboard, you can then select all the images you want to apply those edits to, and in the same three-dot more menu, tap Paste Edits. Then watch as your images change to match. 4. Try the Social Print Studio App for Awesome Art (Free, Print Costs Vary) There are a ton of apps to print your favorite photos in a variety of beautiful ways, but the one I’m (still) wild about is Social Print Studio. It’s a clean and navigable interface, the prints are magnificent, the prices are reasonable, and their customer service is top notch. You really can’t do any better. 5. Use Photo Shuffle on Your Lock Screen Now that we’ve got tons of carefully edited images on our iPhones, what do we do with them? There are digital picture frames of course, and you can always print them out, but now with iOS 16 we can use our iPhone Lock Screen as a digital picture frame, cycling through different images. To set it up, go to your Lock Screen and make sure it’s unlocked. Then, touch and hold the Lock Screen until you enter the Lock Screen gallery. From there, tap the plus icon to make a new Lock Screen. In the menu for creating a new Lock Screen, select Photo Shuffle. You can either use the automatically selected images or tap Select Photos Manually at the bottom. I prefer to select them myself, that way I can create individual Lock Screens with themes like Halloween, or Spring! 5 Tools to Take On Scenic Trips Ulanzi ST-28 Magnetic Phone Bracket ($29.95) The single most important piece of equipment for an iPhone photographer is a lightweight tripod. A set of legs for your iPhone lets you do everything from getting yourself into a shot, to expertly framing a scene before the perfect moment arrives, to taking night shots with minimal camera shake. Any way you dice it, you want your tripod legs and you want your iPhone to clip to those legs quickly and easily. No method for securing your iPhone has ever been more convenient than MagSafe. Spivo Flexible Tripod ($14.99) This little gripper tripod bends to clutch trees or railings and weighs practically nothing. Use any iPhone tripod adapter (like the Ulanzi model above) and it’ll work great with your iPhone. These little bendy tripods tend to be a bit fiddly for night photography or carefully leveled shots, but there’s no substitute for quick photos on the go, perfect for epic landscape selfies, or chronicling the family circus. Movo iVlog3 Smartphone Video Kit ($139.95) This kit offers a selection of useful accessories, from a desktop tripod for your iPhone, to a tiny light to help light your face during video calls, to a Bluetooth shutter control so you can take photos without touching your iPhone. The frame and legs are well built and robust, and you can make sure your phone is level with the iPhone stand’s built-in level. My favorite feature is how the stand adapter doesn’t use a spring to tighten the clip, which I’ve never quite trusted. Instead, it uses a thumb screw to gently tighten its grip on your iPhone. Sandmarc Fisheye Lens ($99.99) Your best tool is your tripod, but if you want a little extra flexibility, you might like the wide angle and zoom lenses from Sandmarc. There are a few options to pick from—I’m a fan of the fish-eye lens for wide angle shots that capture landscapes you couldn’t otherwise get, even with the most expensive iPhones. The other lenses from Sandmarc are excellent as well, including the telephoto for extra zoom, and the anamorphic for video. Sandmarc Pro Case ($39.99) The Sandmarc lenses come with a convenient clothespin-like attachment for your iPhone camera, but that method leaves opportunity for a bump or a nudge to knock them out of alignment. The Sandmarc Pro case is a solid iPhone case with a lens mount attachment built in, so you can screw the extra lens on firmly so it won’t come free, and where it lines up perfectly every time. If you’re going to be using lenses for your iPhone, then make sure you get the matching case!
