[@Fay-gp2zd]

OMG thank you very much at lease I can actually understand what you are talking about a lot of different KZbin videos i watch about hacking tracking and scamming I don't understand but you are very easy to understand Thank you im going to watch everyone of your videos

[@ShannonMorse]

Thank you!!

"Usage data access " which ones should you leave on? Would be helpful to get more in depth on this.

[@edwinbaezjr.945]

Thanks again Ms. Morse!! Always keeping us safe and secure!!

[@jimcabezola3051]

I really found this useful!!! Mahalo! I have old Androids I use occasionally that didn't have these security settings engaged. My Pixel 6A has Graphene, and it's amazing how many settings can still be left unsecured if you're not watching. I have an iPhone, too, so an iPhone version of your useful video would be nice if you would like to make one. Aloha.

Great informative video! Thanks again for this !!! It'll help with a few family members when they have questions (video explanations are SO much easier than try to explain it over the phone! :D)

[@ShannonMorse]

Glad it was helpful!

[@janokartal5690]

Nice one Shannon Keep it up 🙂🙂🙂👍👍👍

[@loneranger5928]

Shannon, great informative video 👍👍

[@connormccarter9581]

This was really good. I change quite a few settings. Thank you! Question, do you have any sage advice to pass on regarding QC codes? I am seeing them more, especially for restaurants and the like.

[@wavemakersdj]

Awesome, good advice and step by step!

[@ShannonMorse]

Glad you enjoyed it!

This is more of a security setting than privacy, but what are your thoughts on locking your SIM card with a pin? What day to day usage roadblocks could you run into that might not make it worth it?

[@552jacki3]

When I set up my phone, I just set every permission to off and turn them on as I need them. This way no app is allowed permission to anything I don't need it to.

18:11 I leave the kaspersky active on this one.

[@VincentGroenewold]

Great stuff, I had many of these but still not all. :)

[@bcw686]

Very nice, I will try these

[@MissFoxification]

This is nuts. I have been using custom roms for many years and Graphene on my phone for the last 2 phones I have had... so I don't see any of this, it's already removed.

[@VincentGroenewold]

Graphene is only for Pixels right?

[@MissFoxification]

@@VincentGroenewold For all new versions, yes.

[@jimmyo1123]

Thanks😊

[@thainun01]

How can i delete my number as a verification step for my Samsung Sccount?

[@markschwarz9084]

Thanks for another great video! Would love to see one for iOS in the future.

[@Aygross]

customization service is Samsung. I would love if you can provide who each service is from

[@CarlVanWormerAE7GD]

Several of the settings were in different locations on my Google Pixel4A5G. I was able to find most of them with a little browsing around. I'm getting a Pixel 8 tomorrow. Will these settings be imported from my 4 to the 8?

[@dougcox835]

I think permissions like this are like locks. They keep honest people honest. What I want to know is if 3 letter agencies with their magic software can see everything anyway. Also, can apps work around the permissions somehow and track you anyway?

[@dougcox835]

@@Look_What_You_Did what exactly do you mean? Who's narrative, and what beliefs?

[@RetiredFan]

Why did you not do Threatwire? Did you quit?

[@Beatles4Sale.]

Shannon, do you have a setting for restoring the ability to apply new security updates to the Pixel 4a that were eliminated after just three years? Unbelievable…😢😢😢

[@topaz7488]

I can't see cause there's writing that takes over your whole screen on your video.

[@Topa101]

Hey its been awhile since youtube has sent me your notifications. whats that all about.

[@ShannonMorse]

I was hit with a major bug on KZbin causes all of my videos to be removed from many folks recommendations. I hope it's fixed now because it was a huge mistake on KZbins part.

[@pruneclair7christian706]

​@@ShannonMorseWas it a mistake or done on purpose? What kind of people control you tube? Do they prefer the free world nations or the dictatorships? Do they agree with the severe population reduction that was written on the Georgia Guide Stones? Is it because they can't control large numbers of people so they want to get rid of them? Do they censor you because you are understandable?

[@pruneclair7christian706]

And what of Pegasus? What is their agenda for the free world nations? Who are they?

[@MundoTechconJc]

I have a infinix and the huge mayority of those setting i don't have it

[@shinokami007]

is it me or the audio is really weird??

[@ShannonMorse]

It's a new mic and I'm still working out the kinks. It does this weird fluctuation whenever a clip is cut in editing and I haven't figured out how to fix it.

[@pwrhungry77]

Should put samsung in the title, cant find all that stuff on my pixel. Sucks you chose the android phone with a modified version on android to do this.

[@ShannonMorse]

That's why I said your Android OS manufacturer could differ slightly early in the video and specified which phone I'm using in the video. Since there are MANY different "distros" of android, they're all going to differ slightly, so I went with one of the most popular ones. If you use the search text field in your settings on vanilla android, you can find everything that is relevant to your specific model. Fwiw though, I can post another video detailing vanilla android options as well.

[@spewp]

YOU are the product in the Android ecosystem. Google doesn't understand the concept of privacy, all these settings amount to nothing.

[@3204clivesinclair]

That's the same for any company that sells an 'ecosysten'.
