The tips I learned from youtube:
1. iphone has a long exposure effect without 3rd party apps.
2. You use a white board on the side of the subject and it can reflect the light when you take the still picture.
3. As a photographer, you want to present to the people the angels that they don't normally see. So try to shoot with some unusual angels.
4. When you take a night view photo, decrease the exposure can make the picture clear without grainy.
5. Focus on the high light of the object in the low light.
6. Use tripod for long disposure shot and remote or earphone.
7. When you wear earphone, use it's volume control as the shutter button, you can get closer to the people as they would think you are listening to the music.
8. It's recommended to use HDR mode at night time to reduce grainy.
