iOS 18.1 Settings To Turn ON Now! (& Our #1 iPhone Battery Fix!)

Battery, Privacy, and Messaging: Those are just 3 of the many awesome new iOS 18.1 settings you need to turn on! Messages has some awesome updates: Finally, we have RCS: Seamless communication with Android users, including the ability to send full-quality photos back and forth and see the little typing bubbles! (It's been a long time coming.)

We'll optimize battery usage with an amazing real-world example, and cover Siri’s accessibility settings, automatic call hang-up, and key privacy features in Safari, iCloud, and more.

Good to note that RCS messaging availability depends on you carrier and if you’re outside the US - you might even not have that option at all.

My favourite use of the action button is the flashlight/torch. I don't sleep well and when I wake up in the middle of the night it's useful to know that I can switch this on without having to look

[MrSparkula]

This is my favorite iPhone channel. Thanks for all your work!

[MarthaBHamilton]

Thank you !! I love the pace with which you provide guidance and explanations. and that every time you press or click you are (quickly!!! good!) explaining where you are going... even. your "scroll down a little" or "scroll down to the bottom" are helpful. I'm hooked and can't wait to see what other videos you have made!

I have the iPhone 16 Pro. All of the settings you suggested were already turned on lol and here’s a tip: when in settings, and you scroll down to Apps where they dumped everything, you don’t have to search. Just touch the letter you want and it’ll put you there - like M for messages 😊

[studiodsr]

iOS needs a feature where if you set your phone face down on a surface (such as a bedside table) it automatically sets your phone to do not disturb, and as soon as you pick it up and look at it (say, in the morning) dnd automatically switches off.

@ 3:19 any idea why my text message forwarding is not showing up as an option in my settings? Ever since I updated, I can't text from my MAC to Android users either.

[iloveilona]

you are so good with going slowing and clearly.i do pause i watch these on my imac and do the instructions on my phone ! you rock!

[DuaneLokitis]

I'm 49 years old and now feel like a little kid setting a vocal shortcut for my flashlight to "Lumos Maxima" from Harry Potter. lol
Thanks for the video... I didn't even know you could do that!!

[sherrydaniels]

posted 7 hours ago and this is matching my (up to date) IOS 18 settings? you guys are normality so good!

[mikkibubble]

A question, please. I got my brand new iphone 16 pro max two days ago; I bought it online directly from Apple. When I opened “Blocked Contacts” in “Messages”, there are a large number of email addresses and US phone numbers. How can this be? Moreover, I live and bought the iphone in the UK. - Have I received a used iphone i.e. that was used by someone in the USA?

[deborahmonroy]

Thanks so much for the video. Just in case this helps someone, the voice command setting (ex. “Let there be light!”) caused an annoying interruption to audio streaming when screen turned on or off. Finally got to the bottom of it!

[TrthRtlyDivd]

Flashlight on - "Illuminate..." (Simon Phoenix from the movie "Demolition Man")

[Tammi]

All educators are not created equal. So happy i found you. Also just added you on TT. This was very clear and user friendly. thank you

[AlecBridges]

I set up a bunch of vocal shortcuts for my Philips Hue lights. Turn on and off, different colors/scenes, etc through every room in the house

[utilautila]

This is the best channel for iPhone users I have learned a lot thank you I appreciate it . Your channel keeps my phone running optimal . And the voice option I picked was flame on to turn my camera light on . I did not even know about that feature thanks again

[TechCritic]

Just got my Pro Max Desert Titanium 1TB. Love it. I always turn off all background apps.

[larabond]

Great video, as always!! At this point I turned On and OFF so many settings on my phone that I wish there was one big video with all suggestions in it. I would reset all settings and follow along.

[lelandbefort]

Another top-notch video. Thank you David Payette.

set up voice command ... LET THERE BE LIGHT for flashlight
