hi!
how do you apply filters and edit your photos?
do you leave them more real ?
which settings do you use (using apple photo app) ?
 
Apple images a heavily edited as soon as the shutter is clicked due to computational photography. If you don't believe me, get an app that will let you shoot a true unedited RAW and you'll see something quite different to what Apple would present to you.
I will make some minor edits in just the Photos app, but sometimes if I want to make use of linear, radial filters etc I will use the Adobe Lightroom app for mobile.
 
I find myself rarely doing much to edit my iPhone photos because they're so thoroughly "cooked" by the algorithm already. They're fine photos but they're generally pretty juiced up looking.

When I shoot with my Olympus, the photos start from a much more neutral place — and there are also RAW files to work with — so I tend to do more editing on those.
 
what about using magic wand in the photo app... yes or not?

That's all I use...the "auto" one. I like how it lifts the brightness slightly.

Nobody can really say what settings you should be using. Give them a go and see what you like. It's very subjective.
