Now some unsolicited advice: Get in the habit of backing up the phone regularly to avoid losing data in the event of disaster (Lost, stolen, dropped in a toilet, thrown under a bus, etc). The easiest way is to go to Settings/[your name]/iCloud and turn on iCloud Backup. Then plug in the phone overnight, and it will automatically back up every night.
