Best Apps For Iphone 8
Social Apps
Social apps are one of the first apps that you download on any new iPhone. And you already know which ones they are. You’ll need Facebook to stay in touch with your friends and family. You’ll want to use Instagram because right now it’s the only social network what’s actually positive. You’ll want to see what’s the thing everyone is talking about on Twitter. And you’ll probably want to follow your friends on Snapchat.
Download: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat
Local apps
You’re going to use your iPhone to get around. Apps like Uber and Lyft will help you get a ride. Yelp will help you figure out where to eat.

Messenger apps
Sharing location in Facebook Messenger
Depending on which country you’re in and which circles you travel in, you’ll at least need half a dozen messaging app. iMessage might be enough for your friends and family in the US but if you’re in Asia or Europe, you’ll need WhatsApp to communicate. For China, it’s going to be WeChat. If you’re a part of online groups, it’s going to be Telegram.
Download: Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, Telegram, WeChat, Skype, Slack
Entertainment apps
netflix
The iPhone 8 Plus’s 5.5 inch is a great screen for consuming video. And you’ll find apps for watching a quick video to a tv series. YouTube is great for watching short videos. Apple like Netflix, Hulu, and Prime Video are great for watching old tv shows and new original series alike.
Download: YouTube, Amazon Prime Video, Netflix, Hulu
Snapseed
Best iPhone 8 Apps 1
Snapseed is a free yet feature-rich photo editor for the iPhone. The best thing about the app is that it’s quite easy to manipulate images. Using the gesture-based interface, you simply swipe vertically to switch between different modes, and you swipe horizontally to change the intensity. The app is fast so there’s no lag in updating the live preview. And it comes with interesting filters (Drama and Noir filters being my favorites).
Download: Snapseed
Gboard
gboard featured
Gboard is the best alternative keyboard for the iPhone. Not only do you get gesture typing, emojis suggestions and GIF search, you get an honest to god Google search bar right in the keyboard. You’ll be able to search for things and paste in results directly to the chat conversations.
Download: Gboard
Google Photos
Google Photos is a free alternative to iCloud Photo Library. Google Photos will upload unlimited photos for you, for free (although they’ll be compressed). Plus, you’ll be able to use Google’s smarts when it comes to searching photos and having shared photo libraries with your family members.
Download: Google Photos
Dropbox
dropbox backup
Dropbox is the most reliable third-party service for storing your files and documents. The Dropbox app on iPhone gives you easy access to all your files. You can open files from Dropbox in different apps and save edited copies back to Dropbox. You can save files offline as well. With iOS 11, Dropbox has full integration for the Files app. So you can interact with all your Dropbox documents directly from the new Files app.
Download: Dropbox
Spotify
If you don’t like Apple Music’s UI, Spotify is the best alternative. You’ll get a better UI, the similar song collection and awesome features like Discovery Weekly playlists.
Download: Spotify
Narwhal
If you like browsing Reddit, try the Narwhal app. It has an intuitive UI for browsing subreddits and viewing comments. There are lots of options for customizing the UI. If you’re a lurker you’ll really enjoy the app. But the app does fall apart when it comes to posting things to reddit or adding comments. For that, the official Reddit app is better.
Download: Narwhal
Google Maps
Google Maps iOS
In most parts of the world, Apple Maps is still isn’t up to the mark. Especially in developing countries, Google Maps still has far more accurate data for maps and navigation. Depending on your city, you’ll also get far more accurate live traffic data.

Agile Tortoise makes a mean note taking and quick-fire writing app with the aptly named Drafts. We think so highly of it, we called Drafts out for special notice in our 2021 Tom’s Guide Awards for mobile apps.

Fire Drafts up, and the app throws you a quick blank page with keyboard at the ready. New entries and notes get placed into an Inbox for later tagging and sorting. Alternatively, you can use any of the dozens of useful quick actions and app integrations to turn your jotted-down text notes into documents, tweets, social media notes, emails or messages, while Inboxed notes can be tagged for sorting, flagged for importance, or archived.
The text editor itself is highly customizable, allowing you to tweak everything from spacing, line heights, margins, and more. A premium subscription lets you add and edit quick actions; it also adds themes and icons while introducing workspaces and other handy productivity features, though many users will be just fine with this free iPhone app.

Apple and Google may be rivals, but that’s not going to stop Google’s mobile photo app from ranking among the best free iPhone apps. Even with Apple offering cloud photo storage as part of its iCloud services, Google Photos is also another great option worth considering for your iPhone, even after Google put an end to unlimited storage with its Photos app.
These days, you can store 15GB of data for free on Google Photos. Google’s app also offers a smart album assistant and basic photo editing tools.
In addition, Google Photos features a smart search tool for finding familiar objects, places and event photos — features so good that Apple has taken a similar approach in subsequent updates of the Photo app built into iOS.

Plenty of camera apps provide live filters, but few offer the level of flair, polish and imagination found in this Adobe effort. The effects in Photoshop Camera range from fairly typical filters designed to make your lunch look more interesting to eye-popping creative fare that apes film stock and classic art — or even peppers the landscape with giant lollipops.
Not enough? Then delve into the Lens Library, which enables you to select from yet more filters to add to your virtual camera, and all of them work in real time. But what if you’ve already taken the perfect snap? Photoshop Camera works with existing imagery too. The only IAP here’s for entirely optional cloud storage — all the good stuff’s available for free.
