[@kevincage1641]

Hey. Firstly thanks so much for these "security\ privacy" issues. Question. Is there a workaround with respect to TRACKING BY GOV'ERNMENT, the RETAILERS & OTHERS? IS there a phone that is for sale that will allow me NOT to put in my Name and Social? I saw a video about buying a phone and going into Developer Mode, and reconfiguring the phone, absent of Google, regular Apps, etc...I intend to try this but not on an IPhone, but a cheaper phone I wouldn't mind messing up. Thanks

when did David leave your Payette forward

[@killdany89]

Thnx for video. What's about "Share Across Devices" bar , it was not in this video.

[@UnoHoo1]

One million subscribers! Way to go! Congratulations to both of you. Well-deserved!

[@TheMack]

As a new iPhone user, this was really helpful. Relevant, but short and to the point. Very well presented.

[@DougHanson2769]

Cool. After a couple months, there might be a chance to finally get to your initial objectives. I’ve forgotten what it was. I’ll try again after the third updates are done.

[@bitcrafter]

One thing you can do with the granular digging for photos, as you go along, decide which photos you want to add to social media specific apps, create a "social media" album, then specify those apps settings for "Selected Photos" and choose the "Social Media" album, that way these apps can only see those photos you choose. Yes, it takes more time to manage your photos into albums, but privacy takes time too.

[@jorgejim28]

Nice idea. I’m going to do it

[@psalm1tree466]

Fantastic channel. I always wondered why, when I wasn’t using my iPhone, I would still see my battery get a little lower. Now I know why. Unnecessary apps in the background draining my battery. Thanks!

[@ericzippro5766]

Way to go guys! Love this channel I’ve 6 iPhones for my family and a few iPads so having you two has been wonderful. Thank you and keep up the amazing work.👍🏻

[@kathydoucet7913]

I love all of your suggestions, but I agree with the guy who said y’all speak so fast I had to rewind it so it’s kind of funny, but I was determined to hear every bit of what you were saying. Thank you so much.

[@nakamag-trader3319]

New Iphone 16 user here! Just stumble to your video here and pretty amazing to learn new settings and tricks on my new phone.

[@Ashmyany]

I love how you demistify the seemingly "cringeworthy" settings, along with explaining who/what benefits from these & how battery life is affected. I truly appreciate you❣️

[@jenniebatsel7993]

Thanks for a very helpful video. I love that you explain both how to get there and why to turn off or on.

[@vinaymittapally2257]

Thank you gentlemen, as always very helpful. Happy birthday David🎉

[@Muginami01]

Congrats on the ONE MILLION 🎉 Thank you for all of your tips! They have helped me and my family!!

[@PayetteForward]

Yay! Thank you!

[@gailjernigan2482]

Congratulations on reaching 1 Million subscribers. Way to go! Love your content. Please continue to help protect our privacy. I have learn much from you. Thank you for sharing!!! 😊

[@jbwjr54]

You guys are the best. I always learn something from you. I don’t know anyone that knows this stuff. Thanks so much! You should have at least 5 million subscribers. I’m am sharing you with as many as I can. Thanks again for the absolute great information! Also Happy Birthday! Enjoy your youth! Cheers!

[@joellen9065]

Congrats on the million!! Your tips keep me checking on my iPhone because I always find a setting or 2 after updates that have changed or been added. I always learn something.

[@dbkyhere9229]

I’m so thankful for you guys explaining all these things to us! Congratulations 🎉 on all your success!

[@k8lynmae]

Been watching your channel a while now. All my settings were already perfect thanks to you two !! ⭐️❤️

[@fingling8]

I came on KZbin to try and find if there's a way to block particular people from sending me images in text ... But this is good. I have used this vid before, but I find that things get turned on when Apple updates software. Today I found Facebook had my microphone--who knew? Great stuff. Personally, I leave Location Services off until I need my trail guide or Maps, and try and remember to turn it off when I'm done the trip.

[@antidroply]

Congrats Payette Forward on the 1 million Subs you guys deserve it keep on grinding my guys!

[@michaelwittmann2644]

Clearly explained, and no meaningless yapping. Straight to the point. I like that. Voted & Sub'd.

[@lexmark3932]

Good information guys, thanks for sharing your knowledge. Congratulations hitting the 1M subscribers 👍🏻.

[@thilinap]

This is the best tips and tricks channel out there

[@alphalion1557]

Is it normal that KZbin closed when I turned off the mic setting KZbin?

[@ambermaich5276]

Thank you so much for your help. I have had an iPhone since the 3G. I have gained so much knowledge from just one of your videos. Keep up the great work. 👍🏻

[@pamelalalaable]

Please - where do I find ‘research sensor and usage data? Excellent video so far!

[@rick00770]

Love it guys. Finally got a big screen iPhone and I’m doing all I can to tweak it, this is good. And Happy birthday to both whenever that is.

[@loyi-kyong]

happy birthday to David! Congrats on 1 m subs.

[@deanaminirad7851]

Great job. I’d like to propose two recommendations. Firstly, consider delivering the content at a slower pace and incorporating intentional pauses when highlighting features. This adjustment accommodates viewers who may not be native English speakers, enhancing overall comprehension. Secondly, it is advisable to verify the accuracy of the information shared, particularly regarding features such as Mail Privacy, as certain functionalities mentioned may not be present in the iPhone Pro 15. Ensuring the accuracy of content contributes to the credibility and reliability of the information presented. I couldn’t find Mail in my iPhone 15 Pro.

[@Skeezitts]

I’ve also seen optimized battery charging turn on with significant locations off

[@deanshort9011]

I'm a new subscriber! Awesome video guys! Very intelligently presented. I just bought the iPhone 14 Pro Max. Had a few android phones after my iPhone 4. This latest iteration from Apple is an exciting upgrade/present to myself. I will be reviewing and changing many of the suggested settings you describe here in this video. Thanks guys! I look forward to viewing additional videos from you. 📱

[@MadHatter11371]

Can you do a video on “experimental features” settings it’s in the “advanced” settings on the bottom of safari settings

[@nancysuttles2044]

Thank you Slippery Rock! Was just about to ask the same question!!

[@lindaj5492]

I’ve just posted the same question!

[@chantalle7340]

I think he addressed it in an uploaded video from 5 days ago.

[@Sarangerel-b8u]

This was useful. I thought I had been careful with privacy settings but was wrong. Thank you very much for helping to protect my data. I subscribed

[@mariabelladelossantos460]

Happy Level Up & All the Best on your Special Day David 🎂🍰 May you have more candles to blow Cheers 🍻🥂🍾🌸🌼🌹🌺🌷

[@DavyDude123]

Quality videos! Thank you guys. Changed alot of settings for my battery and for my privacy 👌

[@macalacalan1175]

Your channel is excellent and you blokes are terrific.

[@mfb6310]

I appreciate you guys so much! I was right with you all the way with my cell, so much to learn and this helped a LOT. Happy Birthday David!! - Regarding a suggestion - somehow I stumbled into an overall green-lit permission to record me anytime. It wasn't dedicated to video, it was somewhere in settings that gave pre-approved access to record me anytime. Can't remember where I found it but I turned it off. - I also put a dot of black fingernail polish on the camera facing me. I have a story for you. I was playing a word game, and one day, my game disappeared and a man was looking at me. I believe he was seeing me, as well. We both sort of stared at each other, and just as we moved slightly to click a replay or reset, Blink - back to the game. This was disturbing. And about 6 months later, it happened again! I was staring at the same guy! We both had the same surprised look, recognizing each other and both our eyebrows shot up - I think, in that second we realized we were being watched. "It" had a glitch, though. And Blink, the game reappeared. I deleted the game and several othes. And nailpolished the camera. - Now my question to you both: How does one delete deleted apps? I suspect once 'downloaded it's still 'in' even if we disapprove of ''terms' and delete the app from view. Is there a way to dig deep, or an app for this? Thank you soo much!

[@janetr5929]

Thanks for the help I need help with transferring my pictures from my old android to my new iPhone 14 plus thanks

[@GoToGal70]

Thanks for all this great info. One thing I like to mention. My tacking has always been off and you mention in in this video that if allow apps to request to track is turned off then apps can’t request to track, but they actually still and can ask in my experience and I wondering how that can be.

[@JimBarkerW]

thanks to yall i know my way in and out of the settings app

[@DartmoorPaul]

Love your videos. Great editing, great personalities and easy to listen to dialogue and really useful information in every one. Nice work as always. 👍🙂

[@monekaolahurt]

When I get a new phone I go thru and shut down all apps that I don’t want and turn off data service to them!! Thank you for the information

[@miketech79]

I did an experiment disabling all location services versus having all of them on overnight and through the day. I did not notice any difference in battery life. I would say for things where you can show battery improvements will occur there should be some data to back up your statements. The always setting only becomes an issue if the phone detects that you are moving, most apps aren't actively tracking your location all the time in the background. As an example if you have always enabled for a weather app (AccuWeather is the best example here) and you take a drive between multiple locations, you will actually see your phone show in the recent locations of AccuWeather all of the cities or towns that you drove through. Apple most likely has part of it's OS level a detection scheme to detect that you changed locations significantly enough to warrant notifying apps that you moved, then it in turn sends the notification to any apps where always is enabled to notify them that your location changed and to update relevant data based on that change. GPS actually does not use a lot of power at all, it's just a receiver not a transmitter. The most power usage is in having an app update information over cellular/WiFi network as a result of the GPS information. If I use my Apple Watch to record a walk outdoors it will use my iPhone's GPS if the iPhone's is connected via Bluetooth. That does not impact the battery as the iPhone isn't refreshing a map nor is it displaying the content.

[@marymadigan9707]

[@paultavener825]

great video. couldn't find the system stuff, but many updates since the video was created. great job, great presentation. earned a follow.

[@cher128bx]

In a world drowning in deceit, fraud and subterfuge, the information you provide on your channel is absolutely invaluable. It seems a bit piddling but, thank you so much to you both.

[@harpersferrytailspetsittin3814]

I agree with you completely on all points! Thanks for a lot of help so far and I’m planning to hang out regularly.

[@Homefathermotherchildren]

You guys have been educating me over the last two years 😊thanks for that 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Now I have a question if you don’t mind. Why is my iPhone so terribly slow and a couple of times a day it just totally loses connection. Why is that happening? Thanks :)

Motion calibration and distance is for Apple health. I’d leave that on…also helps the phone determine if you’ve fallen or have been in an accident

You mentioned needing to consider turning on WiFi calling and network/wireless in system preferences. I am traveling overseas soon. Should I turn those on and why?

[@bradkrupsaw]

Ditto re going slower for the seniors (> 75). You zoom from one to another, give us a little time to catch up. Thank you. Great tips, though.

[@ritagamez3732]

So grateful, I certainly will share, share, share.

WOWWWWWWWWW this is excellent video informative. Thank you so much. I have gone step-by-step to turn off all of these bells and whistles on my phone. I am not a subscriber of yours. Thank you for taking the time to help us be a little safer.

[@V_Araya]

I had the strangest thing happen to me tonight. I was on my IPhone 12 with a friend (who just happens to be in the hospital) I kept hearing this shuffling noise I kept asking him if he would stop because it was so annoying. He kept telling me it wasn’t him. I hung up and called back and it started again. I started thinking could someone be listening in on the call. I never think like this but it was my only thought. So I started talking to the “person”and the ruffling started getting louder with added noises like finger tapping more ruffling. I thought to myself no way! Someone can’t be listening in. 🥲 I hung up the phone and I went into my settings. My only thought was to turn off my Wi-Fi. I did this and I called my friend again and it was normal no shuffling at all. Please can someone tell me if my phone call was being listened too? Is my phone hacked? Did my Wi-Fi have anything to do with it? I’m so freaked out about this. I hope someone can reply to my comment if anyone knows anything about this type of thing please could you reply. I would appreciate it so much. Thank You 🙏

Greetings from Thailand! Congrats for this 1 M. subscribers ! One basic question: does iOS requests an antivirus app? Thanks for your reply!

Good info, but a lot is different for an 11pro. Not set up the same, or able to alter, or even in the phone.

Question, when updating new software to iphone, will all settings be the same as you have it or do you have to re-due settings again? Thanks for your video uploads

[@PayetteForward]

It depends - from time to time Apple's updates like to reset some settings back to their defaults! I would recommend staying on top of what your change so that each update you can go back and check to fix any changes that may have happened! -Zech
