It might be so obvious but sometimes people forget to use an online translator to communicate with local people. Although Google Translate is one of the best of its kind in the market, it's better to learn some Persian phrases and words. Check Essential Phrases in Farsi for Traveling to Iran.

5- VPNs

Unfortunately, many social media and websites such as Facebook and YouTube are banned in Iran. So, it is better to download and install a VPN when you want to travel to Iran. Remember, these apps might don't work after a while, so it is best to have multiple VPNs on your device.
