Best Apps For Iphone 11
- Snapchat

You probably already know about this social media app but do you know about the exclusive 3D camera mode that lets you apply 3D effects and filters to your photos? This adds a unique element to your photos, and the recipients can move their phone around to change the photo’s perspective.
Further, Snapchat, of course, includes a ton of other features and fun filters that make communicating with your friends and followers a unique experience. This innovative app has been the inspiration for popular features on other platforms such as Stories on Instagram and Facebook.

Your iPhone 11 or 11 Pro can capture amazing photos, but some unwanted elements can often make their way into the frame and mess up an otherwise perfect picture. TouchRetouch offers one of the easiest ways to fix this problem and eliminate intrusive objects in any photo.
All you have to do is drag a finger over the unwanted bits and tap a button to watch them magically disappear as if they were never there. Nobody will be able to tell that the image has been manipulated, and for that, this app definitely deserves a prime spot on your device.

Further, it boasts many pro photography tools that give you complete control over your images, much like a manual camera, right on your smartphone. The beautiful UI further enhances the experience and is a step beyond the default camera on your device.

We wouldn’t have expected to see a Microsoft-made browser hit our best-of list, but times change and here we are. Microsoft Edge is a great mobile browser, and our current pick as the best web browsing app on iOS. It’s smooth and speedy but also crammed full of useful features, like the couponing feature that finds relevant coupons for shopping, advanced privacy-protection tools, an ad blocker, a feature that lets you throw webpages straight onto the desktop version of Edge, and more.
YouTube
Alright, so you probably have YouTube, and anyone that doesn’t is seriously missing out. But that doesn’t mean it’s any less essential, and if you don’t have YouTube on your iPhone, well, do yourself a favor and download it now. But YouTube hasn’t always been an iOS essential, having disappeared at Apple’s whims in iOS 6. Thankfully, Google brought it back. Millions of people use YouTube to upload videos daily, so there’s a staggering amount of videos available from everyone from mommy bloggers, to video game experts, to people who like to take phones apart. It’s free to use, but also features YouTube Premium, a subscription-based service that allows playlists to be downloaded and viewed offline, ad-free viewing, and video playback with a locked screen. It’ll cost you $12 a month though, and YouTube is still excellent without it, so don’t feel like you’re missing out if you’re not willing to pay.
It may be owned by Facebook, but Instagram is still the best social network for sharing pictures and ruining them with silly filters. We say ruining, but we put X Pro II on just about everything. You can follow specific interests as well as people, making it a great place to gather inspiration for projects, holidays, or just about anything. If you’re not the type to take lots of pictures you don’t need to feel pressured to share — just lurk on the homepage and enjoy shots from those you follow.
Communication and messaging
Snapchat

Filters in Snapchat can also work with pets, like this dog.
We weren’t sure whether to put Snapchat into messaging or social media apps because, well, it’s a big dollop of both. It’s one of the best platforms for one-on-one messaging, thanks to its messages that auto-delete after being seen, but it’s fair to say you probably know Snapchat for its filters, which are easily some of the best around. Snapchat using face-scanning tech to put funny, weird, and sometimes amazing filters over the top of your own face, making it stretch or morph. One that’s great to have around even if you don’t use it much.
Zoom

You might assume Zoom is only good for work meetings, but you’d be wrong. While we’re all getting out more, it’s fair to say the phenomenon of video calls will be with us for quite a while longer. Of all the options available, Zoom is probably the most well-known and one of the easiest to use, too. Just send people a link to the video call and you’re on your way to having a chat. It’s worth having downloaded and ready to go at all times.
GroupMe
Chat apps are legion, and group chats are even more so. If you’re anything like us, you probably have group chats here and there, and swapping between apps and masses of notification groups is common. Wouldn’t it be simpler to collect all your group chats together in a single app? GroupMe makes it easier to keep track of them all. Add people simply with just their phone number, and they can begin chatting without even needing to download the app. You can name your groups, set avatars, and also save your photos and videos within group chats to refer back to later. There’s even a desktop version, so you can keep on chatting without getting your phone out of your pocket.
WhatsApp, which is a great choice for anyone who doesn’t have unlimited texting and spends a lot of time connected to Wi-Fi, lets you send and receive messages, pictures, audio notes, and video messages. It’s one of the most feature-packed chat apps out there, and absolutely worth downloading if you’re a regular chatter. Despite it being a worldwide sensation, most Americans don’t use it, which is odd, since it’s a phenomenal app. Do yourself a favor and give it a try.
Dating
Hinge
Hinge has had a recent redesign that aims to reduce distractions, but it’s still the dating app that’s “designed to be deleted.” Hinge uses an advanced learning process to better understand your type and will seek to match you only with people it thinks you’ll really like. It seems to be working, as apparently three out of four Hinge users generally want to go on a second date with their matches — so if you’re actually looking for a partner, this is a better choice than the dreaded app beginning with the letter T.
Filter Off

Filter Off’s date time selection.
Sick of going on dates and finding out within a minute that there’s absolutely no chemistry? Filter Off aims to cut down on that happening by offering video speed dates so you can be sure whether you’re compatible or not. Even better, it drastically reduces the chances you’re likely to be catfished. It has events aimed at specific groups of singles, and there’s a Matchmaker tool that aims to deliver you compatible singles in your area.
Bumble
Bumble isn’t your usual dating app because it encourages women to be the ones who make the first moves. Match with someone in the Tinder-like interface, and the woman has 24 hours to send a message or the match expires. It’s a different way of doing things, and the time-limited nature can help to spur connections quickly.
HER
The largest dating app in the world for LGBTQ women, HER boasts more than 6 million users worldwide and hosts social meet-and-greets in 15 cities across the world to boot. You’ll need a Facebook or Instagram account to sign up, and you match with a user by liking their photos. If they like back, then a match has been made. It’s not just about match-making though, as HER also includes articles about LGBTQ issues, local events, and communities. It’s free to use, but there’s a premium subscription that starts from $15 a month and allows you to see who’s online right now, filter by sexuality, and more.
Grindr
Grindr is the largest social networking app for gay, bi, trans, and queer people. The app uses your phone’s location to find other members close by to talk to, swap photos with, or meet in person. It’s not just about dating either, and there’s a group chat feature for when you need to assemble your friends.
Food
Whisk
Whisk’s ability to discover recipes.
Whisk can save recipes from anywhere.
Whisk’s meal planner feature.
There are amazing free recipes everywhere on the internet — but finding the one you need is very much like dealing with a needle in a haystack, and it’s easy to lose a great recipe. Instead of that, why not start using Whisk? Whisk allows you to pool recipes from all over the internet, substitute ingredients and amounts, and basically create your very own cookbook. There’s a meal planner you can use to plan the week ahead, and making a shopping list is as easy as pressing a single button. Never lose a great recipe again, thanks to Whisk.
Tasty
You’ve probably seen hundreds of Tasty recipe videos around the internet, but don’t discount its app. With over 4,000 recipes, options to strip out recipes for different diets, or even meal types, Tasty is one of the most powerful recipe apps out there. You’ll find intricate step-by-step instructions for every recipe, along with handy videos, and you can even use the “what’s in my kitchen” feature to only see recipes you can make right now. A powerful and excellent recipe app.
Mealime
Mealtime
Designed to help the constantly busy, Mealime excels when it’s asked to come up with a meal selection for picky eaters. Simply put in your requirements — vegan, gluten-free, low carb, etc. — and it’ll toss you suggestions that meet your criteria. Most recipes focus on meals with prep times of only 30 minutes, and it can help you put together your shopping list as well.
Lifesum
Getting a diet right can be a lot of work, but Lifesum can take up a lot of the heavy lifting for you. Whether you’re looking to shed some pounds or just tackle a healthier diet, Lifesum has a huge list of meal and diet plans that you can follow. It has options for keto, vegan, and paleo diets, and it also comes with a food diary and macro trackers, in case you’re keeping a close eye on your intake. However, a lot of the best features are locked behind a premium subscription, and that includes the more personal diet plans, unlimited tracking, macro tracking, and other useful tools.
Yummly
Yummly is a great recipe app with a particularly powerful search engine being one of its best features. Need to strip out all recipes involving eggs? It can do that. Vegan? Easy. There are step-by-step instructions and large pictures to tempt your tastebuds. Once you’ve found a recipe you like, just tap the button to add the stuff you need to your shopping list.
Uber Eats: Food Delivery
Uber Eats makes getting ready-to-eat food to your door oh so simple. If you’ve used Uber before, then your account is ready to go. Simply choose a restaurant, pick your meal, and charge your card — then you’ll be able to track your food as it’s prepared and sent. You’ll be chowing down in no time. We’ve also found other food delivery apps if you’re interested.
Olio

So you’ve cooked a load of extremely tasty food, thanks to these great recipes apps — only problem now is you have too much of it! Rather than letting it go to waste, why not share it with your neighbors? Olio is a platform for food sharing, so you can let people know when you have a little extra food, and they can come swing by and pick it up. It’s not just for food too, and you can share other small items as well, share thoughts on the forum, and even chase the app’s many goals.
Gaming
Xbox
Microsoft’s mobile companion app for the Xbox One allows you to control your Xbox One using your smartphone, so you can use your device to control media, and perform otherwise tedious tasks like typing messages. When you’re away from your console, the app acts as a way to stay in contact with your friends and see what they’re up to.
PlayStation
The PlayStation app doesn’t allow you to control your console like the Xbox One app, but it still acts as your link back into your gaming world while you’re out-and-about. View trophies, compose messages, browse the PlayStation store with this app, and you can even manage your PS5’s storage if you run out of space while downloading. Some games also include second-screen functionality for a deeper play experience, but for the most part, this is a management app.
Nintendo Switch Online

Nintendo’s Switch Online isn’t as feature-packed as its competitors’ apps, but it’s still a strong install if you own a Nintendo Switch. It’s the only official way to access voice chat in Nintendo Switch games, and you can check up on your in-game stats using it as well.
Twitch
Twitch is the best place to watch other people play video games or professional tournaments, or just chill out with some real-life board games. Yes, it sounds like the app version of being a younger sibling, but we promise you that it’s maddeningly compulsive once you get started. Whether you’re there to watch some professional gamers play new decks on Hearthstone or a League of Legends tournament, the Twitch app allows you to chat with streamers and other viewers and watch previously recorded videos, and it’s AirPlay and Chromecast compatible.
Strafe Esports
If you love to keep up with the latest news and scores from your favorite e-sports, then give Strafe Esports a try. It covers news from a variety of games, including League of Legends, Hearthstone, and Rocket League — and it even allows you to gamify your e-sports experience with a betting system that pits your predictions against other people’s. If you’re a lover of esports or are just curious, this is worth downloading.
Going out and travel

Getting around has never been easier, thanks to automatic navigation apps on smartphones. But still, it’s not particularly easy to share a single location. Sure, you can send a hyperlink to a specific spot on Google Maps, but it’s still not the best solution. What3Words has fixed that problem in a simple but effective way — adding extra names to maps. Every single 10-foot square of the entire globe has been given a unique three-word name. Pop those three words into What3Words and you’ll be shown exactly where you need to go. An excellent app that’s worth downloading just in case it’s needed.
TripAdvisor
Whether you’re going out at home or abroad, TripAdvisor is one of the best apps you can download. TripAdvisor’s massive database has over 700 million reviews from travelers all around the world on all the best attractions, restaurants, and more. You can book from the app for certain places, and you can even pay using it.
StubHub
With StubHub, you can buy and sell tickets straight from the app — whether it’s for a concert or sports event — up until the day it is happening. You can also pick and choose your favorite bands or sports teams, so StubHub can provide you with event recommendations that you’ll be interested in.
