You’re not only tracked on your phone. I’d check your browser

[@ittadakimaho]

Even better, most companies try very innovative ways to still generate and link data together. Settings like these do have some effect but certainly are not the whole picture. There is mechanisms like lookalikes, re-targeting, matching anonymous audiences with known audiences based on hashed personalized data .. and the list goes on. Companies do not respect your privacy and the law is not able to keep up with the innovative ways to workaround existing laws. Apple is no hero in shining armor here just because like facebook they try to create app campaigns that give you the illusion you have any control over your privacy and data. (If your country even has anything like proper data privacy laws in place)

[@Queldonus]

[@charlessampson6389]

Appreciate these tips. One bit of feedback: In the section about personalized ads, there is some misinformation. Opting out of personalized ads will not result in the ad platform skipping sending you an ad. You are correct that highly targeted campaigns will not bid on your impression, but there are always lower valued ads with looser targeting parameters. The ad platform will just send you a lower value, less targeted campaign. Source: 10 years digital ad platform experience

The moving-view perspective in map navigators is one of the most useful things as you actually know which direction you are looking towards when looking on the map. To keep this feature working, you actually need to leave enabled the *Compass Calibration* in the *Settings > Privacy > Location Services > System Services* to be able to keep your moving view perspective in map navigators.

Living in Memphis, violent crime is bad and I like that if my wife doesn’t hear her phone ring, I can check on her whereabouts using that feature. I don’t want to mess that up by disabling location settings or any settings for that matter. Essentially, should I do anything different from what you said in the video keeping in mind that knowing my family’s whereabouts is my priority?

I did see the point of some of this and think saving some battery power is important. As a software engineer/DBA, improving performance of things makes me happy. When it comes to ads, though, I’d rather see ads that do match my interests than not. I get some privacy concerns are involved if the advertising data is identifiable, but knowing I’m a cyclist and prefer certain brands is hardly going to steal my identity.

[@roemip]

It's invasive and weird and I don't care if it helps a brand attempt to sell me something they think is more relevant to me because I'm conscious of how they were able to figure that out.

[@TheTink15]

Is it ok to turn some of these off when your iPhone is straight talk

[@dakotap3008]

For significant locations, there’s wording that says that turning it off will affect many Apple apps, maps, do not disturb when driving, CarPlay, Siri, calendar and photos. You didn’t mention this and was wondering if turning this off will have an adverse effect on these. Thank you.

[@busick5000]

I have the same question as well! Anyway, did you turned it off?

[@dakotap3008]

@@busick5000 No, I didn’t chance turning it off as I use many of those apps. I was hoping they’d reply but, unfortunately, I wasn’t that lucky.

[@alexxxaification]

No I turned off still got google maps with my location

[@leakathleen361]

I absolutely love this video. You guys are very honest and to the point. And , of course! the information provided is VERY helpful; plus highly effective. ALTHOUGH, seriously you guys could slow down between scrolling and taps . It's very hard to keep up with you guys inorder to navigate through our settings and follow along with you at the same time. For real pleas slow down for the rest of on the other side of the screen. Thank you ♥️

"Blond guy" is NO trouble whatsoever. Thanks much to BOTH of ya'. MM

[@Justin-uj8no]

I followed your last video and with turning off system customisation and significant locations, I lost my optimised battery charging? It no longer worked. Took me nearly 2 weeks to reset it and get it working again. If it’s off, how is it going to know if you are home every night and charging at the same place for it to work and learn the pattern?

[@MichaelTrxn]

I have the same question, thus why I won’t turn those two off

[@ladyflimflam]

Yes, turning off all the things they recommend breaks functionalities lots of us want.

[@tristiffany]

So so soo helpful and thank you for explaining the details of ‘why’ to the folks who don’t understand tracking methods. Cheers!

[@chrissparks3254]

Agreed.

[@DevinLittlefield]

5:39 - Just a heads up, I believe the amount of ads won't change by turning off the personalized ad function! I say that because there are a lot of big companies out there that will pay for ad space against essentially any audience (i.e. they're targeting anyone with a pulse); the ad inventory will always be filled. Turning off that setting just means ads overall will be less relevant :)

[@PayetteForward]

We hear you, Devin! Depending on the ad network, 100% fill rate isn't a guarantee. On our websites we set a CPM floor and run house ads (just things that say, "Hey, check out our KZbin channel" and stuff like that) instead of accepting pathetically low CPMs from advertisers who run low-quality ads. I understand the argument but I still haven't heard anyone say, "I turned this off and now the ads I see just aren't as high quality as they used to be." I agree that you're correct in principle - I'd just like some real world experiential data to back it up.

[@Holly-days]

@@PayetteForward Actually, my brand new iPhone 13 Pro Max says it WILL NOT decrease # of ads.

[@Holly-days]

oops... And... continuing thru your video, I hear you covered this. 🙄

[@patricktilley5203]

Recently bought an iPhone 12 after my 8plus was destroyed by a repair shop. 😩. New Phone was running slow and taking minutes to load. Watched your video and took your advice and presto….an iPhone that works at lightning speed. Bravo to you two.

[@beloveddaughter8585]

Thank you gentlemen. I am so NOT tech savvy and this really helps me. 🥰

[@coffinwood-blackheim]

Of course do some of these features use my data volume. That's what it's for: convenience. I actually want my photos to be uploaded / backed up to iClod as soon as I take them.

[@eeped]

Ok David.

[@pasib]

Back up over cellular and similar settings are GREAT. I wish Apple would also allow iOS upgrades over cellular. Why? Here in Finland, and many other countries, most cellular data plans are unlimited. Just because data plans in the U.S. are not great doesn't mean, that iOS shouldn't consider the rest of the world.

Thanks brothers best iPhone fix chur bro 😎

> Compass Calibration (3:15) > Who uses the compass Literally anyone that uses a navigation app. It’s not about the compass app, it’s about the phone knowing where north is.

[@lybejohn]

Guess what! My navigation apps work properly without it.

[@jesusisking7495]

Same maps isn’t dependent on the compass it uses its own gps …… idiot

[@WaYsTiiD]

10000% false - I'm an iOS developer who has built multiple GPS based applications and will confirm that no where in the code or integrations do we ever rely on using the compass framework to determine true north. Quit being an asshat

[@FlorianWendelborn]

@@lybejohn because it can calibrate while you're using the app. If you enable it it can already calibrate it in the background as far as I understand

[@munxey9212]

Here I thought I was doing good on the battery saving settings until you guys decided to show up. Changed while watching, really helpful!

[@magicaCZ]

What specific?

[@augustebernick5598]

I really like the concept of this video, but does anyone know how effective all of these settings are? Like if all of these settings are switched off, how much battery do you actually save?

[@Nick-ul1iq]

I can’t say for the newer phones but I’m still running my iPhone 6s Plus and since I turned all this off my phone has stopped dropping 5% battery life in a minute. Also I’m sure my battery has something to do with it since it’s max capacity is 80% but still I’ve noticed a huge difference in both battery life and phone speed.

[@jgjg3848]

Saving battery isn't the only issue. The issue is they don't need to know your every move 24/7, which is what you're giving them. You're being spied on day and night.

Greatly appreciate the shared expertise and explanation on what/why to toggle off certain settings. Only had a few of these settings off. Turning all these off might solve the mystery why my iPhone batter drains down on days when not even being used. I couldn't figure out why on some days I hardly use my iPhone the battery drains down for seemingly no reason.
