Enhancing Your iPhone’s Functionality: Third-Party Apps You Should Try

The iPhone’s capabilities are quite extensive, but there is still room for improvement. If you’re not willing to wait a year for Apple to add the feature you need to the firmware, just use iOS apps. Tens of thousands of third-party apps for iPhone cover almost all possible questions and requirements of users. We have prepared a list of the most essential third-party applications that are useful to install on your iPhone.

#1 1Password

To effectively manage our passwords, the most reliable third-party application available is 1Password. With secure passwords that you no longer have to remember, along with the auto-fill function in iOS 12, 1Password offers a nearly perfect password management solution. In addition, the app enhances security and usability by incorporating Face ID authentication, a combination of achievements that is rarely achieved simultaneously. Accessing Face ID authentication expands the app’s security features and simplifies its usage, making it even more convenient for users.

#2 Gmail

The email app by Google is an exceptional tool for communication. Similar to the impressive Microsoft Outlook, it allows you to access mail accounts from various providers like Hotmail and Yahoo using IMAP. Although Gmail lacks the same calendar integration found in Outlook for iPhone, it offers a smoother and faster experience than the default Apple Mail app. Not only that, but it also provides a helpful five-second undo feature for sent messages.

#3 Call Recorder for iPhone

The application does exactly what the name says – record phone calls. You need a Call Recorder for an iPhone to save call recordings as there is no such built-in feature. You can download our iOS App from the app store. From the moment of installation to the start of recording calls on the iPhone, it will take 20-30 seconds. You only need to go to the application and activate the recording, in the future, it will take a matter of seconds.

Notably, a recent update allows you to access lessons offline, enabling uninterrupted learning, even without an internet connection.
