Great video. I have most of those settings turned off, but I learned about a few I was unaware of. Thanks for posting.

Thanks for pointing out that there's a way to make the ads that you're going to get anyway more relevant to me. I checked to make sure I had personalised recommendations enabled, and luckily I did.

Question...If you turn off "Routing and Traffic" does that prevent Apple from knowing your position when driving? If so, I can see that not being a good thing to do. If everyone turned that off it would make Apple Maps less effective because it would not know where congestion is when traveling and Apple Maps would be less able to give you good advice on whether you should choose an alternate route or not.

I had most of these off, but you did tell me a couple of things I should turn off. Thanks!!

[dom.andreacchio]

Thank you Frenando, picked up some great tips, really appreciate you putting this together🐬

Please understand what you’re enabling/disabling before you change it. Maybe even change 1 thing at a time so, if it doesn’t suite your particular circumstance, you know what you changed and you can undo it

[anthonylethbridge]

Thanks. Very useful. Do I have to repeat all these setting changes on my iPad.

Good video 👍 applied a couple of settings

10:10 I noticed here in downtown Stockholm, Sweden, that 5G Auto made app much much more snappy than LTE, like quick bank logins with FaceID etc. Half a second makes a big difference when you auto toggle between bank authenticator and bank app (BankID)

Right off the bat, I disagree with turning off the spotlight search button. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had troubles explaining the difference between swiping down from the top of the screen to get Notification Center and swiping down from anywhere on the screen to get Spotlight. You’d think explaining exactly that would be enough, but it never is. I understand the difference, but it’s really tough for non-tech people to understand the difference when helping them over the phone. Having a Search button at the bottom of the screen is more intuitive for a vast majority of the population, and it makes giving instructions way easier.

Recently just did a location services privacy check before this video

Also I check my settings for time to time and decide whether or not I want a certain setting on or off

[EyesOfByes]

2:00 Wait, I could have done that for the past 10 years? 😐 I both glad and mad to hear about this...

[Saurav]

Could you please share the iPhone wallpaper 🙃

[AK-nkpx]

Just a heads up, your # is on the screen for a couple seconds. Not sure if you can fix that at this point though..

[davidjacobs]

Disable the lock screen widgets and the always on display.It saves battery life.

Fernando pls, help me … settings, safari, scroll down to Advanced, experimental features … how much of those future features might turned off .. ??? Pls 😊🐬🐬🐬

[JeffPom]

For the average user… Work hard to remember if you gave the app permission to photos, microphone, camera, location, etc.… As a former cell phone store manager, I cannot tell you how many times I had people come in complaining that they used to be able to post pictures on an app and now they can’t do it anymore, or they used to have a store’s app tell them they had stuff available when they got near that store and that no longer happens. And it turned out to be because they turned off permissions. So they were turning off features that they liked and wanted, and they were not aware that’s what was happening.

🐬 This was all review for me. Am already doing these myself on my iPhone.

[IamMusicNerd]

Not sure I agree with about half of these, as I prefer to have many of these on. But good to bring them up for people that don’t know. For Search, as soon as you swipe left or right you can see the screen dots anyway, so I much prefer to have the search bar. I also really like the daily Apple News Newsletter notifications. I have all of those toggles on, and I rarely get spam emails from Apple. Only about twice a month I will get new apps or Music that has come out, that’s about it. I also like the personalized recommendations, rather than random recommendations. I have found some awesome music creation apps that way, which I never would have found otherwise. Also, Google does FAR more of this on my Android phone, and doesn’t tell you, since they make all their money off personalized ads. I get spam email every week from Google from this stuff, so at least Apple does a better job than Google is doing in this area.

Curious on your take about background app refresh?
