Turning on the grid and level in your camera setting can help you compose your images better.
Try turning your phone upside down and shooting from the ground. The unique perspective can make your subject stand out. Also, turn the grid option on in your camera settings.
When shooting portraits of people, bring them forward, away from the object you want to shoot them with a sign, statue or historical marker putting the person closest to the camera.
