Lol I can’t do this since I have an iPhone 8. Can’t install iOS 17. My phone is too dumb to make dumb :(

[@JermLikes2Draw]

Same lol

[@AndrewClare]

iPhone 8 is iconic

[@haakmash]

Yes, and the perfect size. Don't want to be walking around with a mini iPad in my pocket

[@flybalbu]

I saw an app that uses widgets to make something similar, I have a 6s that supports widgets so i think you should be able to get widgets on the 8

[@JermLikes2Draw]

@@flybalbu May I ask what app?

[@lucaafowerki9896]

Thank you for the video ! Really helpful 👍🏽

[@AndrewClare]

You’re welcome

[@jpoodle]

Thank you for this video!

[@analogvomflo]

does bluetooth still work? I installed it but can't connect my Airpods, I would really like to be able to listen to Spotify

[@Killerkey1863]

Neat tool. Thanks for sharing.

[@shyellebean9925]

I absolutely love this mode

[@autumn3884]

This is awesome thank you

[@bombers519]

I’m thinking about using this with my daughter’s phone to keep her off social media

[@Cevicheconcoca]

I’m about to do the same

[@sheilakrone8151]

Me too!!!!

[@PaladinHD]

thanks for the video, I will send this to my friend too :)

[@vlvr]

Great video. Thanks! One issue I'm having is that triple clicking the power button opens Apple Wallet because that's what double clicking it does. Is there another way to shortcut it?

[@AndrewClare]

I think it’s because you’re trying to click into assistive access. You can only get into the feature through the setting. Triple click is only for leaving the feature

[@veneroantonio905]

Great video,are you a Light Mode guy or do you switch often between the two?

[@AndrewClare]

I switching back and forth. I like both

[@lynns609]

Why does no one even mention that this is smart to have a dumb phone for your children?

[@AndrewClare]

I don’t feel many people know about this concept

[@Ducey4521]

Let’s goooo Bible app

[@RemotHuman]

you can have a friend put in the assistive access passcode so that you can't turn it off yourself

[@gabrielmenezesdesousa3774]

As a visually impaired, I thought the novelty was good but I haven't used it yet .

[@bylersmi]

apple creating a good feature to turn your iphone into a dumb/less smart phone without even knowing it might be the future

[@vrchocolatecookies1314]

Tried setting it up, it limits the number of contacts you can add for messaging and making calls. Can’t exactly limit myself to half my contact list …… unfortunately can’t move forward with using it because of this

[@AndrewClare]

Maybe Apple will make it better. Sorry it doesn’t work for you

[@domgji]

This was a problem for me as well so I added Contacts as an app and now it's usable.

[@Mangekyo__]

Awesome video. I genuinely love less edit on videos ❤

[@AndrewClare]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@user-ld5fn1sp6g]

Does wifi still work when using this? Also I have an essential app that I have to use for work and have set to over ride silent mode. Will this still work?

[@dyl6085]

It should…

[@richfoundation]

Can I use this in a way that will not allow me to add any apps? I need to have a way to not override and get into an app I’m trying to be off of.

[@cherchil]

Let someone else input access code, that way there is no way you can disable it

[@shootstraight68]

Works perfect except I need the Lock Screen to actually lock. Any help there?

[@flybalbu]

It does lock, I tested it by covering my camera and it prompted me with passcode

[@benmelo11]

how can i on/off silent mode when i using assitive access. i cant find

[@techam_111]

Hey there! I know this comment is a bit overdue but in order to do this, just go into settings, click accessibility, then click assistive access. After just scroll all the way the way to the bottom and you'll see an option for 'Allow Silent Mode,' just click to enable it and you'll be good to go!

[@Zackbrooks737]

I can't figure out how to text. Even with keyboard on it won't let me send messages or pull up the keyboard.

[@erinreneeerusso]

unfortunately, the only way to bypass this is to add every single contact as an emergency contact :( hopefully they’ll fix this in a future update

[@Malik_Youtube]

How do I see the battery percentage while assistive access?

[@AndrewClare]

You can’t :(

[@jvde68]

If you go into settings, accessibility, assistive access and scroll to the bottom you can toggle on or off the battery percentage showing on the homescreen

[@MCN3721Berstecher]

Still having trouble with messaging. It won’t let me write people back 😢

[@AndrewClare]

You have to sent the recipients in the settings before switching modes

[@bluff3r]

how can i turn on personal hotspot while using assistive access???

[@Jdjdjdjdhfjbgdgjd]

you dont

[@superchinoise127]

Absolutely mind blowing 🤯 although it feels a bit scary, it's definitely worth the try!

[@lusciouslummie7464]

Nope it isn’t at all. It’s a great tool for people who need a break from pessimistic social media.

[@sohampatil659]

The more I watch these videos the more my addiction becomes😢

[@evgen6834]

The last iOS version for my iPhone 7+ is 15, so your accessibility method doesn’t work for me. Should I buy new iPhone to get this functionality? 😂

[@flybalbu]

There's an app that lets you use widgets to do something similar

[@The_pillow_fort]

I really like this feature but cant get over not being able to send texts

[@techam_111]

The interesting thing about this mode is that it requires you to manually choose which contacts you wish to send messages/call while in it! In order to do this, while on the assistive access setting, click on the messages app (should be already selected as one of the active apps in this mode), scroll down until you see the option 'Send Messages To Selected Contacts,' underneath it will have 'Select Contact' and from there you can select any and all contacts you wish to send messages to in this mode. Hope this helps! :)

[@GauravBe]

How has this affected your screentime?

[@AndrewClare]

Makes me want to use my phone less

[@ashleycurrington5866]

Its broken doesn't work and slow as hell, at least for me anyway.

[@AndrewClare]

It’s called a dumb phone for a reason

[@JeffB-jr3yx]

All I want on mine is apps to pay my bills and text and call. And the Bible app as well for when I’m on the go

[@user-oc5qq3xq5y]

Honestly was SUPER EASY, using that as my work mode (I had my bible app there too)

[@addy7445]

I didn't know Daniel Bryan made tech videos

[@AndrewClare]

lol

[@IBN_ALJABL]

Family link app is the solution

[@user-wb4yd7ho4m]

Why spend so much money😂 by a nokia from amazom

[@HADDADOU208]

me with iphone 8 💀

[@kevinaweseom2866]

Can you do it on ios 16

[@Goodz2010]

no

[@mariorizkallah5383]

whats stupid is I cant used my 20 digit passcode, they force me to use a smaller digit count, which makes sense for people with cognitive disabilities, but like they should allow us folk who want a dumbphone to use whatever passcode we want LOL

[@KelvinChand-bd8cd]

So I could have the best of both worlds, all the apps I want to use when I need to or want to but also a super simple dumb phone when I don't want to be distracted!

[@plantman5545]

Too bad this shit just doesn’t work

[@dikdinglebo]

Can I add whatsapp

[@flybalbu]

yes

[@Omega_258]

Iphone is already a dumb from android.users.

[@streetzomb69]

the only thing dumb is comparing two phones that can do the same basic necessities. let people do whatever.

[@Omega_258]

@@streetzomb69 agreed 💯

[@_mmelion]

if u agree w them why say what u said in the first place lol @@Omega_258

I thought it was quite good.

[@cheraggulestan4403]

Very good video just away from social media, but too tough

[@endezeichengrimm]

Just get an Android.

[@Jdjdjdjdhfjbgdgjd]

how will that help me if i wan to spend less time on my phone?

[@endezeichengrimm]

@@JdjdjdjdhfjbgdgjdIt's much easier to put on a simple mode or ultra power saving mode. Ultimately though, you can just remove most of the apps, and just stop wasting time on your phone, no matter what phone you have.

[@endezeichengrimm]

@@Alex-tt3ueYup. You have to go 30 days to be able to successfully break the habit. Find something else to do, like exercise, reading, walking, socialising., etc...

[@flybalbu]

@@endezeichengrimmthere's also an apk of instagram that blocks reels and posts, allowing you to use dms without distractions
