Did you keep score? Let me know how many of these settings YOU knew about in the comments!

[@JJG78]

I only know 9 of them but not the safari trick

[@MrComputernerd619]

Every video you put out about tips & tricks. Battery settings etc, I know 100% of them. I still watch & love the videos though!

[@vsdoug]

The only tip I already knew was the backtap. Good job! My wife has a 15 pro, and I have a 15 Plus. We both use the back tap, and I don't think she's ever set her action button to do anything.

[@maureenslater9707]

I knew nothing. But I’ll likely forget these too as I’m older and don’t use my phone as much as younger people. 😂 I find it fascinating o watch you though.

[@MLCHRL]

@@vsdoug Action button is nice for cam because it can also be used to shot images and then its the perfect spot for it.

[@EvanMonroe]

Never heard of back tap. Really neat feature that translates the convenience of AirPods to iPhone.

The 3-finger tap for the Undo/C&P menu will be useful. Thanks! While I knew the symbols for the fabrics were laundry instructions, some of them are not obvious.

[@jakedunlap8809]

Great tips and tricks! I will definitely share your video! Keep up the good work!

[@terrclymac]

I particularly found this video very helpful; Thank you so very much.

[@abacavip6426]

Great video, keep ‘em coming always love learning new tip!!!

[@Orwic1]

Great video with really useful information! Appreciate this channel even more 😀

[@Ajajambo]

Just when you think you know most tips, this is the place to learn more! Cheers

[@IOSALive]

Payette Forward, Your videos always make me happy, so I subscribed!

[@greghilt8492]

Just getting back into your videos. What happened to your sidekick David Lynch?

[@Fiscals_Organics]

I’m curious too , been a year for me

[@BeccaGarner05]

That reader mode is going to save me so much time when cooking recipes that I found on an ad infested blog. Thank you!

[@glynette6570]

Thank you-especially for #3.

[@Alex-tu5vu]

I actually found out about 7 a few days ago!! I was trying out three finger paste and accidentally clicked with three fingers instead while having some text selected and this menu came up! Then I found out I can use it in all apps that you can type in. I love little hidden features like these

[@susanlisson7066]

That double or triple tap function is nifty. A slightly different way to find it on my iPhone 10 but so handy for turning the camera on quickly which will be very handy for me whilst travelling as a pillion on my husband’s motorcycle. Thank you!

[@stevehall6526]

As usual really informative and clever 👍🏻

[@davidbeckett1565]

Very helpful video, particularly the tips for Safari, timer, and photo edits

[@giorgosantonopoulos2719]

Great tips, all of them. I’m new in the iPhone world and found all of them extremely helpful. Thank you so much!

[@Techappliances]

Setting timer with stop playing amazing feature u told. Your videos are aways amazing.

[@JohnBorsa]

GREAT VIDEO!

[@kans6]

That UNDO three finger tip only works if the txt is highlighted but the shaking words if if not selected

[@elzbietawischniewski1840]

Great video ❤️👌🏻

[@ThePhantomMajor09]

Thanks really didn’t know any of these.

[@WillNewcomb]

Some great siggestions, especially Undo! Thank you. My favourite i discovered was creating a voice command to take a photo. I set it to do bursts which is especially great for selfies with the better back camera.

[@alabemos]

I knew the first and the last, and a couple in the middle I had forgotten about. Nice video. How about a video with a collection of the cool things you can do with accessibility?

[@rld413]

Good information!

[@edward8435]

Cool stuff!!! I loved the sharing setting so that you don't send something to the wrong person. I turned that setting on...😂

[@mohsinmahmoodmdl]

😂

[@Moonstorms]

You 2 have taught me how to use my phone 😊 my kids said I wouldn’t be able to use 🎉it because it was like a mini computer not like an android phone. Thankyou sooOO much😉❤

[@bluewren65]

These are fantastic tips. My question: why does everything to do with technology have to be this big secret that only "insiders" get to know about? I miss the old days of getting a comprehensive user manual with things.

[@SushNaut1991]

I didnt know David Moyes was so tech savvy!

[@montelorne]

Very helpful tips and a great sense of humor…

[@kans6]

Thanks!

[@mmlgood]

Thanks for your videos! The twitter logo just disappeared from my screen. How do i get it back?

[@ThomasEJohnson]

Glad to see you promoting our local newspaper. 👍

[@shouldeye5811]

Is there a way for me to set up when on safari and messages to slide back with finger rather then pressing the actual key

[@Daniela-2208]

Oh my goodness the three finger undo will be a game changer lol. I leave shake to undo off because my kids always manage to take my phone and run with it lol. Thanks a million! Like always, great video!

[@ZeeCeeCreations]

Is there a way to have no ads if you use only google on your iPhone??

[@Ksane]

I'm coming from 15 yrs of Android and these things are amazing lol Thank you!

[@andrejstemmle606]

Nice video, I‘ve already knew 10 out of the 11 Features. But it’s not really fair, since I‘m kind of an iPhone-Nerd starting in the year 2010 with the iPhone 4 Greetings from Switzerland 🇨🇭

[@rotemjackman]

« not a bunch of people that I can accidentally send this amazing loaf of bread to » 😅🤣🤣🤣

[@dennisdragan1128]

Whoa! That 3-finger tap… news to me… Thanks!

[@thebookstalk6320]

Thank u

[@faridbangash7013]

Like your videos funny 🤣 and knowledge 👍

[@andgate2000]

Might want to do a video on the security of in car apps….and what features to turn off in new cars.

[@rodl12]

Did you know you can Name your timer(s)? This is really good if you have multiple timers running. You can either do it manually in the Clock app when setting up a timer or tell SIRI to do it when you tell SIRI to set a timer. eg. SIRI: Set a timer for Washer for 1 hour. It's that easy. BTW you can have multiple timers running at the same time.

[@nathalierierson2926]

I loved the BYPASS Emergency ringtone. I turn off notifications at night, but I have elderly Parents who live far away. I also want them to be able to reach me even in the middle of the night.

[@sdjp19644691]

😂 so good, thanks.

[@davidpatrick1813]

1 I only knew 1 thing. very nice help thanks.

[@peterwan7945]

7:11 I remember it was introduced with the IPadOS update on WWDC. to be honest, I have not found it too useful since I really need 2 hands for the gesture, except when long pressing failed to show the copy or paste or cut menu properly due to whatever reason. thats maybe the very few case that this gesture is useful for me.

[@lindaj5492]

8:08 How do you bring back those hidden pages? How do you access the app shortcuts if their hidden?

[@Unknown1243]

I knew 8/11. Thanks a lot!!!

[@NinjaDom7]

Also whoever is saved as a favourite can bypass the silent modes they will get threw text,call etc

[@Uduplr]

Is there Any way or App that places my lists in Alphabetical Order ?

[@hwntwww]

do a feature on customising screens, widgets and layouts and such like

[@goodbiehollywood]

I’ve set up a selectable menu using my action button. I can select from a whole host of different options not just one.

[@darrellyelity3648]

I knew all of them except 1 & 7.👏🏿

[@hariharan4986]

Your hair do changed. By the way nice video 👍. Hope to see more.

[@carlchambers617]

Maybe it’s just me, but it seems a step was edited out in tip #11, the action button trick. After selecting [Accessibility], you have to select [Touch] before you can scroll down to [Back Tap] .

[@BlooStorm1]

Questions: why doesn't Apple offer little 'new features' notifications when there's an update rather than professional techies (you) needing to point out what's new? Does it have to be like a treasure hunt? Granted you do save us time. 😊 Next Q: Are we all so overscheduled that saving seconds is so important? Thx again for your tips!

[@343jwright5]

LOVE the reader automatically setting as my local newspaper is straight 🗑️. However in this setting, you get text only. NO videos or pics related to article. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@lindaj5492]

2:10 “This will save you literally seconds of time” Like the traffic-queue jumper who still ends up at the red light.

[@bizmark7969]

Tip#8. The apps that you hide. still show up in the apps library category , if you swipe right… so is there a way to hide apps from the apps library category? Or just hid the apps library category?…😮

[@laur9881]

i just had a pop up on a website saying that my iphone was hacked and a hacker is traking me or sth and it looked like a notification from ios but i dont think it is. My phone i hope is fine. I checked if it is virused but i didn t find anything

[@benban1863]

I don’t have those icons when I go into my photos?

[@yinyang5225]

Wonder if we can stop the ads on KZbin 😊

[@PayetteForward]

True that! Makes premium quite enticing...

[@stevewoodyt]

@@PayetteForwarddon’t get premium unless you are ready to add another bill. Once you don’t have to watch ads for a few days you will never go back.

[@S-link999]

Does the emergency bypass work if airplane mode is on? Or just do not disturb?

[@PayetteForward]

Only do not disturb or other focus modes!

[@S-link999]

@@PayetteForward oh… i know airplane mode can save battery quite a bit so just wondering

[@antiquesrestoration3874]

"Loafer bread"...lol

[@theobserver3753]

They should just dedicate a button for undo. We all know how important that is.

[@k16e]

Now as soon as you have chosen to give em a feature to copy and paste edits...how about also letting them save edits as named (and customizable) presets, which, the next time, they can just apply to a new edit? Boom, voila, you've got a customer for life? How about that?

[@armadilllo]

you can just tap the two a's and then hit show reader.

[@Greg-fg1rd]

Apparently hack #1 doesn't work for Back Ground sounds. Too bad.

[@PayetteForward]

It's odd, it works for most uses but there are 1 or 2 weird exceptions and that was 1 that we found too! It still works with KZbin videos though!

[@greeneyedhungarian]

Wallpapper?😊

[@agalIam]

I was getting a blanket out of the dryer and I got static and a shock and fell into my cell phone. The next thing I know my cell phone had changed my wallpaper. My phone was on the dryer when i got a shock and my phone was off! WTF

[@lachutequimarche8074]

**WARNING** The timer will default to Stop Playing so if you’re depending on hearing it to wake up or something, it won’t do anything because nothing is playing. Switch it back to a tone.
