  1. Make Good Use of Grid Lines.

One of the easiest and best ways to improve your mobile photos is to turn on the camera's grid lines. Grid lines help us to better balance photos. It uses a photographic composition principle that says an image should be broken down into thirds, both horizontally and vertically, so you have nine parts in total.

According to this theory, if you place points of interest in these intersections or along the lines, your photo will be more balanced, level, and allow viewers to interact with it more naturally.
