iPhone 16 Pro Max - 16 Settings You Need To Know

[@knolez1546]

Nice phone. I’m playing around with my iPhone Pro 16 right now. The Pro is the perfect size. Get pro max if you want a larger screen

[@KARMA-vu8ii]

One thing to keep in mind: when you lock and hide an app on your iPhone, it moves to the hidden folder. Apple claims it’s hidden so well that even a search won’t reveal it. However, if you go to your battery settings and check the Battery Usage section, the hidden app will still appear there, making it easy to spot.

[@kuil]

It also shows in the App Store, both when an update is available and when searching for the app.

[@glenpudney]

Yep, all this is so true, so anyone, especially another Apple ecosystem user could easily still find the apps, so hiding them is somewhat futile lol. This would only work with very young children, though for only so long, and people who aren’t tech savvy lol.

[@newsnetworkz]

Lol 😂

[@braedonmorrissey7548]

Im just wondering what we doin that we have to hide apps 🤨

[@jfox8888]

Which is correct no? You can’t search and open the app right ? You need to go to that hidden folder to see the app. Battery usage and what not , is that gonna let someone “use” that app or uninstall …???

I'd like to ask for your help, because no one has ever done it before. I want to record video using my iPhone 16 Pro max, but with stereo sound from an external sound system, in the simplest, most ready-to-use way possible. Or also don't need to add sound, use daw or video editor etc. ! You can access the audio output from the instrument via 6.3 and 3.5mm jacks and USB B connectors. Instrument: Ketron Event

[@brooklynpratt]

@zollotech - hi, at 4:05 you say "either way though I would make sure...". Unless I am not understanding you it can't be either way. It's either OR. We can't (or I can't) set it to 80% AND set it to it Optimized. That's how "either way" is intended. "Either way" includes both options. Yes? no? Please clarify... thanks

[@HeartwarmingStories]

Same question here too. For now I set it to 100% and optimized on, in the notes there if you turn on location tracking and system services and underneath that it learns where you are most often and perhaps can adjust battery charging based on that.

[@brooklynpratt]

@@HeartwarmingStories HI there, thanks for adding to my inquiry - but he never answers questions. I don't even know why I asked. We are mostly likely on our own. And he probably misspoke.

You have the option to change it in the settings to single click or double click. I had single click to activate the camera by default. You probably had it set to double click. It’s just personal preference. I prefer double as to not activate it by accident.

[@Luvtravel44]

Yes, if it’s on your control center when you scroll down from the top right. You want to tap the bell symbol. That puts your phone in silent mode. You can add this on your control center if not there by swiping down top right, hit the plus button on top left, then add a control on the bottom, and scroll through until you see Sounds and the silent mode button that looks like an alarm bell.

Even after indexing had finished up after I updated to ios 18.1, the battery seems to get sapped away. I can see the percentage ticking down bit by bit. Maybe some background stuff is still going on but the fact this phone can't get me through a full day? Yeah I dunno.

[@FricklinVEVO]

I’d recommend performing a restore and set up as new. Especially if this isn’t your iPhone, I’m assuming that you transferred your data from old device to new. Sometimes if that is done the old software/data from the previous devices causes issues on the device for one reason or another. Chances are the new iPhone you have doesn’t have any hardware issues or designed to have worse battery than your previous iPhone, it’s probably old software slowing your new phone which can be fixed via restore and set up as new.

[@danellsworth5814]

[@MatrixEdit]

Bug city

[@FricklinVEVO]

Id recommend maybe doing some basic software troubleshooting like resetting all settings via the settings app. If the issue persists after performing that troubleshooting step, I’d recommend performing a restore and set up as new by either plugging in to a Mac or a Windows computer. If you do choose to use a Windows computer, you would just have to download iTunes and perform the restore that way. I was having the same issue when I moved from my 13 pro to my 16 Pro Max and what I ended up doing to fix these issues was to just perform a restore and set up as new, from my understanding Old software doesn’t play nicely on a newer hardware.

Just remember with 16:9 format the image is cropped at the top and bottom compared to 4:3 so you are loosing a bit due to the crop. So it's better in most cases to just use 4:3 and edit it to 16:9 after if you want to. Apple has it at 4:3 by default as this format looks better on print they said. But sure 16:9 is also great if you want to use it as a background wallpaper on your computer and things like that.
