For me, this was a very self-assuring video. As it turns out, I don't use Facebook, Snapchat, Twitter, or Tiktok. Hence, cleaning up my phone was quite easy. I always believed this social media garbage was just that; garbage. As time goes on, my original sentiments only seem to gain affirmation. Great video!!

Thank you for showing us how to turn off unnecessary intrusions into our privacy. I too don't use any social media except for YouTube, but I have turned-off many other things on my iPhone that you have recommended. You two are providing a real service to those of us who are not tech savvy.

[kristenp]

Always appreciate your videos. Thanks for walking up through step by step!

Thanks for making this video. You made it super clear. Keep doing what you do as I would never have found half those settings👍👍

If someone is listening to my phone life I feel sorry for them because that’s GOT to be even more boring than living it 😳

I am on Android and deactivated all "ok Google" on every possible devices. The other day i was telling my wife about lawyer fees and within 5 minutes I had an ad about "you won't believe how much lawyers charge in your area"... I only mentioned to my wife, never googled it or anything... so these devices clearly listen even if you deactivate the features.

Already had a lot of these turned off from previous videos but it's good to have the refresher and the app specific instructions. Thanks!

I’ve been subscribed for several years and this video was one of the best.
I share these with friends and family.
Thanks so much for the important information you both share!

[Amerie]

Always helpful content. I pause a boatload of times to make sure I’m following properly. Thanks, D&D!

[kennixox]

Just say no to Facebook, Twitter etc. Never had them, never will. Same goes for other addictive platforms such as Pinterest, Tumblr and all the dozens of others. Hint: Your device is your servant, not the other way around.

I realized this a few years ago when after talking to a friend about something I immediately started seeing ads about it on my MAC. Very useful video, thank you!!

[wardrobelion]

Great tutorial guys! Thank you for taking the time to help us😊.

[smileycindy]

Thank you for the tips but also for sharing your screen as you are navigating. My phone is set up in French, so I often need to pause and find the equivalent translation, therefore how you are shooting the videos is very helpful. :)

[sxley]

Not in a million years would I know or even find all this stuff on my iphone. Thank you guys.

[blackcoop]

THANK YOU!! I haven't even finished watching this video and I'm grateful it was made. I've worked in tech (including Ad Tech) for about a decade and constantly have to tell people that it's highly unlikely that your Phone is listening to you for the sake of selling you stuff or serving you ads. There are much more efficient and accurate ways of doing that NOW without listening.

That said, if you are under government surveillance or something similar -- it makes it a non-zero chance your phone is listening to you, but still, not for ads.

[williambrandt]

Believe me this information is so tightly packed I’m hitting pause and reverse a lot but very useful. Thank you!

And I told my friend who has an android that they are listening to you!

[ssamuelt]

Thanks for all you do in helping navigate all this!

[marymadigan]

Thanks guys as always very helpful 😎🇮🇪

[jimr]

Thanks for your help with this, great info!

WOW ! Thanks you two! This is such valuable information! I was shocked at how many apps were were tracking my location “ ALWAYS “ ! But not anymore, thanks to your expert and easy to follow advice. Please continue making these helpful videos- you’re literally rescuing us from deceptive and misleading Big Business data miners.
