I'll be getting an iPhone pro in a week or two, and have been an android user since forever. Never used any apple products before, this will for now be a secondary work phone for me. I'll also have their Apple One? service.

Looking for app recommendations, tips, tricks any and all suggestions anyone might have for a first time iOS user, to make the transition a little smoother and a little fun.

Thank you all.

Voyager is the most frequently updated and smoothest, but it lacks some QoL features

What features if I may ask? Thanks in advance!

As someone who moved from Android to iOS this year, I miss the reachability of being able to swipe back from either side of the screen. Like many of the other Lemmy apps, Voyager lets you customize gestures for Posts and Comments. I disabled swipe-right because that’s iOS’s Back gesture, but I still need to start from the very far left edge of the screen in Voyager. Some other apps, after having disabled those swipe-right gestures, allow me to swipe back without having to reach the far left edge. It’s way more comfortable for me as a right handed user.

Oh, full screen swipe back? That is definitely a feature I’m interested in bringing to voyager. Thank you for your reply!

Hey just wanted to say I love Voyager! The iOS app is a bit better as far as responsiveness to gestures than wefwef was since it was bound by webkit I know. It’s actually my main app for Lemmy currently probably mostly because it’s just the perfect design (rip Apollo) other apps leave me wanting different post and comment appearances or overall feel even if they boast more features or customization.

P.S. not sure if it’s placebo but I swear the back swipe is more likely to trigger if I do it higher up on my screen closer to where the actual back button appears on the topleft. Full screen swipe back would be great!
