27 iPhone Settings that Actually Make a Difference

[@NadeemYakuza]

I decided to try iOS after being an android user for 13 yrs. Currently am using iphone 15 pro max (first iphone). Your video has been of great help. Finally i have started loving the phone after watching these customizable settings 😊

[@whitegoodman7465]

How is it?

[@NadeemYakuza]

@@whitegoodman7465honestly am impressed with the battery life, privacy settings, display, sound quality. Moreover with game emulators getting approved by app store, it keeps on getting better. Cant wait for ios 18

[@christinemoracha2477]

First time iPhone user with the 16,I hope to love it

Oh my, thanks so much!

[@elta81]

Thank you Stephen! Very comprehensive, helpful and without any irritating or unnecessary things like many of this kind of channels do. You are soooo subscribed! 😊

[@beardfm]

Appreciate that! Thanks for subscribing 🙏🏻

[@herb601]

S-U-P-E-R-B, Stephen. I've watch many of these but IMO, yours is the most comprehensive and easy to understand. Have a happy holiday. 🙂🎄

[@beardfm]

So kind, thanks for saying so!

[@easternv1lle]

The automation to control Low Power Mode is a smart one right there! Now I can have it turn itself on without me having to lift a finger, very game-changing when I’m in the middle of doing something on my iPhone

[@beardfm]

If you're interested I did 10 automations just for iPhone battery here! kzbin.info/www/bejne/g4LGmXmlg7d_qcUsi=fm1ss--XI6ia0h-i

You are a beast! Didn’t know about the custom haptics.

[@beardfm]

Thanks! Love those

[@enigmaticiconoclast]

Wow, Stephen!… Thank you! I'm setting up my new phone today, which is beneficial…!

[@beardfm]

You're welcome! I was debating release today or tomorrow and it looks like it was serendipitous!

[@asafdor-w7q]

Unbelievable content. so many amazing and helpful tips that would take so long to find elsewhere. found your channel yesterday and i love the no fuss, no annoying music, no trying too hard. just really helpful info in a really fun video. thank you!

[@beardfm]

Your'e welcome! Means a lot, and appreciate you saying so. Will keep the tips coming!

[@supereldian]

7:31 Great tip here! An important thing to remember is that other people also allow apps to access to their contacts, and thus, your information is already linked and uploaded to a company’s server :/

[@beardfm]

Exactly 🫠

[@greetingsearthlingspluto6666]

I like your approach to making worth while videos on different apps for the Iphone. I just got a new 15 plus yesterday. I havn't had one since 8 plus. I'm still learning this is so much more than the 8 plus. I had that for 5 years,then went to samsung. this phone changes everything. Sorry my tuyping skills suck I'm 71 years old.

[@beardfm]

No worries and congrats on the upgrade! I have some other videos you may find useful too

[@BlaqViper]

Night Mode under StandBy needs more options. When enabled, the dark red display is great in a darken room at night. But it can still be uncontrollably dark during the day, leaving me to disable it during the day. Adding the option of times to automatically enable and disable would be great.

[@beardfm]

And some Shortcuts actions for automations would be great!

[@GreyAlive]

Great great great video, shared to friends! Privacy related settings are fundamental

Thank you so much for the messaging app filter. It cleans up my inbox so I don't have to see all those code messages or spam.

You’re welcome! You should also go to Settings > Passwords > Password options and then toggle on “Clean up automatically” and those code text message will delete automatically!

[@speoples20]

Can we have a video about feature flags for Safari.

[@beardfm]

Like a deep dive into the app?

[@AshleyQuint]

Like what the feature flags are, and useful ones people might want to turn on.

[@krishg790]

is the always on display setting available in the iphone 15??

[@yog146]

I was trying one automation. & The speak text has a default volume. I am not sure if its high or medium. I tried to add set media volume to 100% before the speak text, but it didn't mattered as even if i set to 0, the speak text volume be still same. How to fix this ❓

[@swerzer]

Stephen - I've said it before and I'll say it again. Your videos are the most comprehensive and easy-to-understand. I have learned so much from you over the past year. I look forward to all that you have to say in future videos. Happy holidays my friend!

[@beardfm]

Very kind of you to say. I’m so glad the content is helpful, will keep at it for 2024

[@NateBearDown]

iPhone auto brightness needs a lot of updates. It has been very inconsistent the last few years.

[@beardfm]

True, and at least duplicate the setting so it's actually in the "Display" section

Would love to see a comparison of the just released Resident Evil 4 running on iPhone, Mac and iPad. This is the first of the omni-games Apple has been working on so hard in the ecosystem.

[@beardfm]

I don't think I'm old enough to play Resident Evil, still scared

[@kawtharr]

I want to activate the automation for when my phone battery rises above 20% low power mode turns off but don't know how (I also applied an automation to set low power mode when my phone battery equals 20% ). Can someone tell me what to do? I have a 15 pro if that helps.

[@krutikgabani]

How can I automate "When I click photo/video on my iPhone, it should be automatically add into another specific album in PHOTOS APP" Problem with iPhone is, it stores all the photos in RECENT album in PHOTOS APP

[@beardfm]

Unfortunately all photos will show in recents even if you add to another album by default

[@Safeofficial]

Is it normal for the iPhone to disconnect from wifi when the screen is locked? Because i'm going crazy

[@beardfm]

Definitely not normal, may want to have an Apple Store check that out.

[@KingTechHD]

Great tips. Had most of these but probably got the info from you 😅

[@beardfm]

Haha well thanks x2

[@Quarture_Enzy]

Why is my iphone downloading every video im watching and doesnt let me to stop the download???

[@Loveline-TV]

The battery saver section is not even close to complete, but it’s fine

[@beardfm]

Yeah was going for high level this round. What do you find most effective for battery life?

[@Loveline-TV]

@@beardfm Lists of the best effective ones are mostly related to anything that has to do with cellular data usage. 1. Turning off photo and videos automatic backups to the cloud 2. Disabling email auto fetch data 3. Leaving low data mode on at all time 4. Turning off location services that are too important 5. Constantly checking or making sure that personal hotspot is turn off, that toggle really drain battery, turning it off when not in use can save massive battery life.

[@f9fad]

push mail off and select background app refresh should save some battery

[@beardfm]

Yeah I have mixed feelings about background app refresh…maybe that’s another video

[@f9fad]

@@beardfm auto brightness off maybe save battery if always on low brightness

[@DjBlaaack]

Turn your phone off. That’s the most secure and battery saving feature

[@beardfm]

You'll get at least a couple days that way.

[@samwaris908]

I am a first time iPhone user and never owned anything from apple. I have been looking/ searching for months and couldn’t find an answer How do i change alarm volume without changing the phone ringing volume ? Every cheap android phone can do that but i dont know who can i do that in iPhone

[@beardfm]

Settings > Sounds & Haptics > adjust the slider for “Ringtone and Alerts”. Toggle off “Change with volume buttons” so volume adjustments for music and videos don’t change the ringtone volume

[@factor3208]

So funny how some of these basic features are just coming to iphone and has been on my Android forever.

[@factor3208]

In fact Andriod wins it for me with the best os and features. I can't even change keyboard size on my Iphone without generally zooming text sizes, can dail contact via just touching the initials of their names on dail pad without g9ing to contact search. Damn. Asides the camera for video on the iphone and social status the iphone is useless. Even the Samsung photos are better.

[@factor3208]

Since I got my Iphone 15 pro max I now really believe the people that people who do not like the Andriod do not use it or never tried it or used a really bad one. Use a good Andriod phone for a week and trust me you will see you've been brain washed. I'm not saying Andriod doesn't have it's flaws but for common

[@kawtharr]

I completely agree. Not even a techy person but I got my iPhone 15 Pro as a graduation gift and thought it would be practically the same as "it's only a system change" but boy was I wrong. For reference, I've had my android since 2018 and I didn't want a new one if it wasn't for the smashed screen. Fast forward to unboxing day , Notification Center is all weird and I can't just clear everything automatically (time sensitive and not) , can't use apps in split screen mode (you'd think a phone in 2024 would allow it but apparently not) , can't zoom much with my front camera, the focus is all weird and a whole plethora of icks. Didn't want to sound like a hater but the disappointment is kind of annoying me.

[@hydragamermv3052]

dont have AOD on iphone 12 lol

[@miccakoster3838]

I charge my iPhone normally. I have Apple care so I will just get battery replaced no big deal

[@beardfm]

Same here

[@sanjeevkumarchauhan319]

you buy iPhone 16 Pro Max and turn every setting off…. Means don’t use any features of your most expensive phone.. how stupid idea

[@factor3208]

If anybody can show me how to change my keyboard size for free via and app or any means without zooming my screen generally I promise a gift, an expensive one . On my Andriod Gboard I can but for some reason Apple thought it's not going to happen or you have to pay? 😢😂 Damn. Old help me even if you're not doing it for the gift and I'll really appreciate. The gift might not be important

[@boskobuha8523]

Try to charge iPhone se 2020 to 80% 😂
