let's talk about some iphone settings
you need to turn on right now we've got
a whole bunch of new ios 15 settings as
well as some older iphone settings that
somehow got turned off when you
installed the major update curious how
that happens sometimes it does happen so
let's open the settings app and scroll
down
to mail tap on mail new setting right
here privacy protection and tap on that
make sure the switch is on i'm pretty
sure it's on by default but you want to
make sure yeah definitely make sure it's
on it's an interesting thing companies
when they send you emails typically have
the ability to track whether you opened
them and then what you clicked on and
then sometimes what you did because
they're these hidden little pixels in
there
this stops them from doing that by
doing a convoluted bunch of technical
stuff and just so you know
how honest we are this setting if you
turn on your iphone actually would hurt
us a little bit well i mean not not like
physically because if you turn this on
please give this video a thumbs up one
thumbs up that's all we ask that's all
thumbs up let's step back to mail tap
back to the main page of the settings
app it's not like we're the mets
giving our fans a thumbs down that's
good yeah that's pretty relevant there
you go tap privacy
then
tap
record app activity new setting turn
this on unfortunately the full app
activity reports aren't available yet
there's a preview of what they'll look
like on apple's website still in beta
hopefully with public release
we'll get those app reports and see what
these apps are doing on your iphone you
might be able to catch some bad actors
in the in the meantime bad actors bad
actors that's a terrible joke but really
it's just going to show a lot of
websites in the background the apps are
contacting to track you next we'll set
back on privacy upper left hand corner
of the screen then scroll up and tap on
location services now we're going to
scroll all the way down like a maze tap
system services whole bunch of these
switches are on that don't need to be
check our other video ios 15 settings to
turn off now to know which ones they
used to turn off yeah we'll drop a link
in the description section below so if
you're done with this video when you are
keep watching this video though and then
watch that one but we're coming down all
the way to the bottom to the status bar
icon let's turn that on yeah and so then
if your iphone's using your location
right now david has a screen recording
going so it's blocking where it would be
but you'll see
a little arrow up here and then if you
see that arrow all the time that would
indicate a pretty big battery problem
and in the other video we talked about
how to figure out which apps are using
your location all the time and turn it
off
so that's it for the privacy section of
the settings app let's go back to the
main page of settings we're going to tap
on
focus
new section of the settings app it used
to be do not disturb now it's focused we
got all these things housed in focus
we've got do not disturb you're not
assembled driving some new things but
we're going to tap on do not disturb
first thing you want to do here is allow
notifications from certain people are
there people that you want to get past
that do not disturb he's got one person
and it's not me that's for sure you tap
on allow notifications
add a person come through all your
contacts select whoever you want so tap
done
and then tap back to do not disturb now
there is a whole sleep section of the
focus
section sections of
focus on sleeping yeah but if you don't
want to go through the whole process
it's a little bit lengthy you can also
just schedule do not disturb right here
right add schedule automation you choose
a time a location maybe you want do a
disturb to be off while you're at work
you're a teacher and you don't want to
get distracted by your phone while
you're teaching in class or you do yeah
or you do that please please please help
me help me get me away from these kids
or if i'm using a specific app i like
this example books you're reading a book
on your iphone right you don't want
people to be texting you interrupting
your flow yep but you just tap on a time
schedule the time 9 a.m to 5 p.m you
know it's a work day let's just say that
okay there you go we're gonna go back to
the main page of settings again
back back back back back let's tap on
music you gotta scroll down quite a ways
there it is right above photos tap on
music because music
is very important and alphabetically
superior tap on audio quality lossless
audio make sure that switch is on i like
this switch finally our audio is cd
quality
back to the nine yes well we're going we
don't need
roads throw away your walkman the iphone
can do it now now your iphone can play
cd quality music it's amazing what we've
been missing out on so obviously this is
also more than cd quality but it sort of
makes it a minimum of cd quality and
then these are important switches
so cellular streaming i choose high
quality which is not lossless because i
don't want to burn through my whole
cellular data plan let's go back
wi-fi streaming high-res lossless
correct
why because you've got wi-fi it doesn't
matter how much data you use you want
the highest quality step back one more
time what's up on downloads lossless
kind of a nice in between
if you have enough iphone storage
definitely choose lossless high res
lossless might be a little overkill
you'll run into storage faster high
quality isn't really all that high
quality if high quality is the highest
quality is it really high quality
it should now isn't that low quality
then
it's kind of like starbucks
high quality wouldn't be the highest
quality high quality is the lowest
quality here you said high quality is
the highest quality oh well i was wrong
all right well good point let's go back
to the main page of the settings app
let's talk about some safari settings
scroll up just a little bit and tap on
safari go to safari they've added quite
a bit to safari this page is a lot
longer than it used to be first thing
we're talking about
close tabs i am a serial leave tabs open
person
tab preserver tab preserver i checked
earlier today had like 25 tabs open
didn't need half of them half of them
were espn all and like the same led page
it was you know well the yankees are
doing so bad right now it's very
frustrating
so if you want your iphone to
automatically close those old tabs
you're just never ever going to get back
to here you go what do you want to do
i'm going to choose one month just to
play it safe at first we'll see yep if
only the yankees could play it safe at
first set back to safari then take a
look at this very important setting one
of the most important ones we're going
to talk about in this video it's prevent
cross-site tracking don't let
advertisers track you as you go across
multiple websites
in safari on your iphone simple as that
i like it yup it should be on by default
but it's not so you have to turn it on
yes turn it on
so you're on airbnb you go to cnn and
you're seeing ads for fiji because
that's where you're thinking about going
you don't need that you may see fewer
ads because this makes you less valuable
to advertisers yep even though people
will tell you you won't see fewer ads
they're lying
you probably won't probably won't but
you might you might so why not let's go
back to the main page of the settings
app we're going to scroll up and tap on
accessibility
battery tip here we're going to tap on
display and text size scroll all the way
down make sure reduce white point is on
the minimum brightness when you're in a
totally dark environment you're in bed
going to sleep you're
on a yeah i'm trying to get it all the
way down to like the tiniest little bit
because in bed these are very bright
screens so i i turn mine yeah bruce
waypoint say a little battery life too
because the screen isn't so bright all
right and maybe uh
brightness maybe turn that on too but we
don't turn it on because it would affect
our screen recordings we do that for you
yep otherwise it'd be going up and down
next let's talk about wi-fi calling
disclaimer if you don't see this setting
on your iphone it's because it's not
included with your cell phone plan so
you don't see it it's not our fault it's
your carrier's fault it's your fault set
back to the main page of the settings
app

angry comment please subscribe to our
channel

would be
lovely
right after you hit subscribe tap phone
in the settings app
then tap wi-fi calling just make sure
that wi-fi calling is on make and
receive phone calls over wi-fi with your
verizon account
what are the benefits of wi-fi calling
15 seconds elevator pitch wi-fi calling
allows you to make phone calls using a
wi-fi connection in areas with poor cell
phone service yep you have no service
you got a wi-fi connection you can still
make that phone call send that text
message and you can even add it for
other devices i would turn that on but
david does not have enough let's go back
to the main page of the settings app
again we're just kind of going all over
the place it's like we're playing shoots
and ladders
scroll up and tap on battery
tap on battery health
and tap on optimized battery charging
let your iphone learn your charging
habits to reduce battery agent kind of a
no-brainer here yeah i mean why not yeah
if you like battery chips card above
description section below a whole bunch
of more battery tips if you're into that
sort of thing good battery health good
battery life yep
battery
everything all right back to the main
page of the settings app again i wish
there were more settings that were all
in the same section of the settings they
should let us make our own settings and
it's called david and david settings i
think we should talk to apple about that
yeah scroll down on the main page of
settings tap on messages
scroll down and tap text message board
and allow your iphone text messages to
also be sent and received on other
devices signed into your imessage
account so if you've got other devices i
love this on my mac so i'm going to
check my phone
send them to colin that's good let's
turn that off
yeah somebody dumped a cup of coffee on
their mac didn't had to borrow a far
computer
yeah not your ipad though i'm not a big
ipad texter not a big ipad texture
yeah cutting board let's go back to the
main page of the settings app again how
about some camera settings or a camera
setting if i can find it scroll down
camera there it is preserve camera
settings tap on preserve settings
preserve camera mode make sure that
switches on they just keep adding it's
just it's unbelievable live photo is the
one to really make sure that that is on
which means that once you turn it off it
doesn't automatically turn back on every
single time so instead of taking photos
you're taking these little
videos my friend diane just had a very
beautiful baby he takes live photos all
the time if you asked him he would not
know that he does but it's kind of cute
because the kid's always moving which is
nice you can see your little hand
there's a you know rare use case for
life for a live photo but if you don't
have a baby or you're not taking a
picture of somebody on a ferris wheel
turn don't don't take live photos i mean
we're just talking about it's gonna fill
up all your storage apple's gonna sell
you more icloud storage space there's a
reason why it's really easy to turn on
turn this on turn that and then turn
that off
live photo next let's talk about
passwords if you want your passwords to
autofill for maybe they're saved in
chrome maybe they're saved on your
icloud keychain you want those to work
on your iphone not just your mac
gotta do that in settings back to the
main page of the settings app scroll up
and tap on passwords
face id
unlock
then tap on
autofill passwords icloud keychain and
chrome where do you want your passwords
to autofill from i want both
make sure those check marks appear
turn on autofill now see i thought i
wanted both but then i turned it on yep
and then i started getting a pop-up
every time that was like do you want to
fill from chrome or from icloud
interesting and i was like
icloud
because i have like four passwords in
chrome from back in the day so
definitely turn this on because that's
what this video is about
turn it on no it's actually extremely
helpful for people that use chrome
keychain turn off icloud but i i prefer
icloud keychain or turn them both on if
you use them both yeah if i get annoyed
i'll tweet about it and then i'll say
