[@BrandonButch]

😂

[@shreyashjaiswal3667]

[@m.l.s.2574]

I would love it apple implemented a "scheduled message" option like what android does. So much convenience right there.

[@interwurx]

The one thing we have needed for a decade!

[@Cprince3]

Always love your videos Brandon!

[@elonnut]

[@averoes4029]

Interesting thumbs up

[@ritagraham6703]

Great tips!

[@BrandonButch]

glad you enjoyed!

[@muntasirrahman4820]

Hi Brandon, cool video as usual. I was wondering which calendar widget on the lockscreen are you using. I couldn't find it in the stock calendar widgets. Thanks in advance.

[@bigdaddy110802]

Awesome video buddy. Any chance on sharing that ipod wallpaper?

[@HeyNickJ]

These are really good! Couple I knew but a couple I didn’t know that can be pretty useful

[@cheriemcghee2527]

Hi Brandon. I always learn new things about my device watching your channel. How did you get the background or wallpaper to look like an iPod?

[@KalpeshPatel78]

nice stuff

[@daveac]

Lot's of great tips - one 'note of caution' on the frequent (daily or hourly) wallpaper changer. My brother-in-law was abroad on holiday recently and he left his phone at a hotel. When he realized later in the day (may have been the next morning) he call reception and asked if a phone had been found or handed in. The receptionist said they and then asked to describe his 'lock-screen' wallpaper to identify the one they had was his - which he could and did and therefore was able to then sort out collecting back the phone. 100 alternating wallpapers would have made that impossible!

[@pats300zx]

Great video Brandon !!! Love your Ultra watch band. Do you have a link to it ?

[@easternv1lle]

The first three tricks I was unaware of before this video existed 😅 Liked the video fs!

[@createdbyjosiahv]

9:18 clearing system data using the Pro Res technique works on the 14 pro as well

[@hroberts82]

I love your vids thanks for all you do ❤

[@enfortro]

Your vids are the most educational

[@offdagrid877]

Like the 2 finger curser trick really useful

[@FlyingRedTailHawk]

very nice video

[@DanDukeBox]

Hey, great video! I couldn’t follow the hyperlink thing in emails though, it just seemed like you copy-pasted, I’ve rewatched it and can’t figure out what you do 😵‍💫🤔

[@PlanetLinuxChannel]

11:24 this works particularly well with your two thumbs because you can also spread the two fingers apart to select text whilst doing this!

[@Heavilybrokn]

Love these! Even as someone who works for the fruit company, I still find things in your videos that i don't know!!

[@SG-lj8uu]

Damn…. When you casually swiped between the mail app and safari I was mind blown 🤯 I have had my iPhone for almost 4 years and I had no idea you can switch between applications by swiping left and right on the pull tab at the bottom 😂 I would always do the long way of pulling the pull tab up completely and then swiping through the apps… 4 years wasted 🤣😂

[@sj69694]

I also already knew about the instances of the AOD turning off.

[@AceHBK972]

Love these videos. It would be so nice if you used dark mode to door things. It makes it easier to see

[@Rechain]

Knew most of them, but great video 👍🏻 oh, what Apple Watch band is that? Looks quite nice with the Ultra 👌🏻

[@bishwarupdey10]

Hi Brandon, I really love your videos, and they are very informative😊😍. It would be super useful if you could make a video about shortcuts and automation, like turning on the wifi and Bluetooth using a shortcut, etc. I mean the top 10-15 super useful shortcuts and automation.

[@BrandonButch]

planning something similar!

[@artfartzy]

To turn on/off bluetooth I just tell siri to do it :)

[@dani-elbenaharon8966]

Brandon, I really appreciate and like your work man. Small thing to improve: felt like its pretty orienting for updating to iphone 15. Im an Iphone 13 user, instead of skipping all time its better to concentrate the iphone 15 thing to the end

[@amrindersingh3949]

Brilliant

[@thomastevis8655]

Awesome videos sorry I’m soo late

[@feel19111]

I need that iPod wallpaper!

[@razaelahi7257]

Which watch band is that, black and red looks dope

[@andrey453]

Great video series. Couldn’t find the free resources for pro res videos though. Maybe it is switched off by default?

[@seth_goodwin]

This is only available when connected to an external storage device. That is the message I got when I tried.

[@MotoBrando]

Also when you walk away with a Apple Watch your always on display turns off also

[@BrandonButch]

this is true

[@susansoltwedel]

If you have different icons for each wallpaper is there any way to link icons to a wallpaper

[@dhe3r4j]

Nickname is such a cool thing. Its makes your messages look so much cleaner, plus when want to add a weird name for a contact, you won't need to change thier contact name

[@yourmom6472]

I don’t know what to comment so I’m just gonna say that I am eating toast right now while sitting up in bed

[@BrandonButch]

yea

[@BurnzAd6]

Where can I get that iPod wallpaper you have for your lock screen???

[@Gracefullybrokenmom]

I didn’t know the send pic one, the looking for sound of the nickname one!

[@carlosdillard2165]

What’s that Lockscreen wallpaper?

[@llleonaron]

is that a new wallpaper collection that you’re gonna release soon? (2:40)

[@gdmoore]

I would also like to know.

[@BrandonButch]

yep!

[@llleonaron]

@@BrandonButch oo that sounds cool! will it be out sometime during march?

[@BrandonButch]

@@llleonaron likely early next week

[@llleonaron]

@@BrandonButch nice, looking forward to it!

[@artfartzy]

Never seen that thing where you hold with to fingers on the screen to move the cursor, I just put one finger on the cursor and then I can move it around, other times I just use the spcacebar.

[@s.prabhdeepsingh]

That is the reason i subscribed this person…❤👍🏻✌🏻

[@chahineatallah2636]

Cool video , liked it , what about iPhone 15 users ? How we can clear the cache? Other than deleting the apps and reinstalling again 🙄🙄🙄

[@neerajmurali1336]

what app do you use for the calendar widget on lockscreen??

[@SahandRahmdel]

did you find out?

[@PARLAE-XAE]

I tried the clear cache trick but I get an error message that says it's only supported when recording to an external device. I'm assuming you have to have at least the 512gb capacity.

[@WeeWillizzard]

Brandon; I bought a 15 pro a bit ago and I’ve been experiencing lag turning off my phone. I was told it has to do with a “fade” but I’m not sure? Do you know what this could be? Thanks to anyone who can help!

[@NR20244]

You may have accessibility shortcut settings on. It did that on my old iPhone XS Max. I do experience this though on a 15 Pro Max I have

[@WeeWillizzard]

@@NR20244 Yessss, that fixed it!! Thank you so much!

[@_.m28._]

Brandon always hook us up 🙌🏼❤️

[@Sapperman89]

I’d like the link for that background though.

[@ZEUS.REACTIONS]

for me being a lifetime app iphone user every phone except 8 .....these were some legit good times .....i love this channel but rolled my eye wen i saw caption hahahahah but a few of these i gad no clue lol idk how but i didnt lol ...... thanks

[@meme-machine]

it would be nice if near each/most features you mentioned which ios version this appeared in.

[@collinwood60]

Two finger trick-holding to move cursor faster. I knew about moving the cursor via holding down on the spacebar, but not the 2 finger trick. Thanks.

[@artfartzy]

I didnt know the 2 finger either, but did you know you can actually just put one finger on the cursor and then move it to where you want, easier :)

[@nexttech6828]

I only wish Apple add call option directly from messages screen, or hold the phone to your ear to call instead of texting . And the other option is to switch from phone ear speaker to external speaker without choosing from a drop down menu when no accessories are connected

[@RayTamal]

Any fix for I use a wallpaper and try to zoom out its all blurred at the top

[@tylermac5656]

I feel like the tap and hold on the plus in iMessage for photos, is slower than just having “photos” on the task bar like in previous iOS

[@flash9]

Go to accessibility settings> touch> Haptic Touch> and change the touch duration to fast if you haven’t already. That may help

[@Abdullah-zl9ub]

Which messaging app do you use Brandon? iMessage and WhatsApp eats My local and cloud storage and that’s so annoying. I’m looking for replacement and privacy is not priority. But everyone uses WhatsApp I can’t move away. Like iMessage but lacks many features

[@24FlyT]

I didn’t know you could change the thumbnail for people in the album. Didn’t know about hyperlinks by using paste either.

[@najmahaji1113]

I still didn’t get the lastest 17.4 yet what should I do !

[@saivinaypanyam9734]

Dear sir, please make a video for voice and its tricks also I mean the VoiceOver screen reader

[@adnansyed376]

Hey Brandon. My 14 pm is on 17.3.1 and I don’t have the key photo selection for people in my gallery. Can I know why

[@mathieulegare7124]

Same phone, same iOS version as you and I also don't have those options.

[@iSunny42]

Same phone and same software version and I have it. When you select the photo and click share then scroll down. And if you don't have that option on the end of the list you will see Edit Actions. Click on that and add Make Key Photo action.

[@silky.21]

Tricky question:how can you set your home or work location, through my contact, and use a pinned location, when no streets exist in remote areas? Searching for that the last two months..

[@-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-...]

All this scanning and stuff is scary. The cia thanks you mall lol

[@dmanfafa]

How did you add the calendar widget to the Lock Screen?

[@SahandRahmdel]

did you find out?

[@dmanfafa]

@@SahandRahmdel unfortunately no

[@HumbleCowboy92]

I can’t get my pro res to work. It says something about only being available for external storage

[@waveyparadise]

This is the best channel if you want to know about an iPhone

[@CraigMc24]

Love this video. Searching for sounds in videos like clapping and applause doesn’t seem to work for me 😢

[@forrest-herman]

Two finger trackpad, wow!

[@BrandonButch]

I never use the spacebar now!

[@forrest-herman]

Neither will I! Thanks @@BrandonButch, been watching your videos for years and I don't know what I'd do without your channel! I watch every single beta update video :)

[@stsu_bish6370]

but doesnt work in every app for instance WhatsApp

[@artfartzy]

Why use two fingers when you can just use one :) Just put your finger on the cursor and you can move it where you want :)

[@LoboTv_01]

2:36 not just that it also turns off if u walk away from your phone if u have an Apple Watch paired and on your wrist

[@luixmPT]

In the calculator app you can swipe left or right where the number is to undo

[@asapjoshy]

13:40 wallpaper link 🔗 pls

[@MichelBoumanMSFT]

Found something new today that I hadnt seen before. I was navigating and send an imessage with “I’ll arrive around’ and it automatically populated the arrival time for me.

[@minetomek]

I only knew 5 and they mostly were from your other videos.

[@colandabrown9257]

Thank you Brandon for everything we truly appreciate it. Thank you for sharing this with us.❤️❤️❤️❤️💥💥💥💥💋

[@PranavKumar2016]

The always on display turns off when you walk away from the phone wearing an apple watch as well

[@muphulusiMathalise]

bro is it possible to find my stolen iphone 15 pro max if its not connected to the internet or the people removed the sim ? and i have enabled find my iphone and when i check the last loaction it says "no location found" , " offline"

[@TheBoyJenius]

I'm not gonna lie, I love hidden features.

[@saukash]

Yes Brandon 2 fingers are better than 1 😂😂😂

[@154NS]

My always on display turns off a lot when connected to my MagSafe charger idk why
