Hello everyone, I got my sister iPhone 15 pro as a gift. She was using Android ever since she started using smart phones. I'm still an android person. And tips for getting her started? She already moved her, data, contacts and apps to iPhone. She didn't move her photos cause it was around 85Gb. Any new suggestions are welcome. Thank you :)

Go to Settings > Camera > Formats and change Camera Capture to Most Compatible. This will prevent any issues when she takes a photo and tries to share it with non-Apple devices.

Bad advice. iOS automatically converts images to the needed format. The high efficiency format saves storage space.

You're right, it depends on an individual's needs. I worked tech support for a software company that allowed users to upload images to print postcards, brochures, etc. There would be a lot of instances where someone would upload an HEIF and it wouldn't work. I'd recommend JPEG and it'd solve that issue.

Great advice from you both! She has 100gb of cloud storage on Google photos with storage saver quality. Will that be enough for her to keep using the compatible format?
