If you have just got your new iPhone 14 line-up whether it is iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus,
iPhone 14 Pro, or iPhone 14 Pro Max, there are certain things you should do first on your new iPhone.
Hey, what’s going on, guys?
Rahul here from TechReviewPro and welcome back to the channel.
Today, I’ll show you what are the first14 things you should do on your new iPhone 14
or iPhone 14 Pro.
So, without any further delay, let’s get started!
Whenever I get a new iPhone, I go to Settings and then tap on General to open General Settings.
Here, simply tap on About, and this will show you all the info regarding this device.
The first thing I would do on iPhone 14 is:
I’ll check for these details like when the service coverage warranty expires.
I would ensure that it shows the coverage expiry date exactly after 1 year from today.
If it is less than that, then that means your iPhone was activated earlier.
So you should complain to the customer support team to get it extended.
Also, you should verify that this has the exact storage capacity that you have paid for.
Although this doesn’t happen quite often that you didn’t get the exact iPhone box you paid for.
but yes, there is a possibility, so it’s something you should definitely ensure.
The next thing you should do after getting your new iPhone is:
Update the iOS version of your iPhone 14 or iPhone 14 Pro Max.
Because doing so will ensure that your device gets updated with the latest bug fixes and improvements.
And this will also allow you to take full advantage of your device.
Because when you get a new iPhone, sometimes that iPhone box is packed a few weeks ago
and the phone remains on an older software version of iOS.
To update your new iPhone 14 or iPhone 14 Pro Max, simply go to Settings,
then General to open General Settings,
and here you need to tap on Software Update.
It’ll check for new updates and if any new update is available,
you will have the option to download and install the updates.
You may also ensure that “Automatic Updates” are enabled.
Because, when this is enabled,
your device will now automatically start downloading and installing updates
when connected to a Wi-Fi network and plugged into a charger
or with least 50% battery charge.
In case you don’t know,
Apple has finally introduced “Always On Display” with the iPhone 14 Pro series,
and the next thing you should do on your new iPhone 14 Pro series is to try and use the always ON display.
The Always ON display allows you to get important info such as notifications, the date, the time,
lock screen widgets, and more without you having to press the power button or touch the phone.
Just lock your phone to see the “Always On Display” in action,
it adapts to your lock screen customizations
to provide you with important information.
By the way, please note that this feature is only available on the iPhone 14 Pro series
of devices.
With iOS 16, Apple has brought back the battery percentage indicator on iPhone.
Earlier you had to expose the control centre, but now
you can now see exactly how much percentage of battery is remaining on your device with just a glance.
To enable the battery percentage indicator on your new iPhone 14 or iPhone 14 Pro,
go to the “Settings” app, then scroll down a bit to go to “Battery”, and here
just toggle ON the “Battery Percentage” option.
The newer iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro Max feature iOS 16 out of the box,
which has added the ability for users to unsend
or edit sent messages on iMessage.
And this is the next thing you should do on your new iPhone 14 or iPhone 14 Pro.
To unsend a message, press and hold on a message, then tap on “Undo Send”,
keep in mind, that you only have 2 minutes to unsend a text, after that, you don’t get the option to unsend.
Similarly, to edit a sent message, tap and hold on the message, then select “Edit”,
make the necessary corrections, and tap on the “blue checkmark” button to save your edits.
Apple has updated the way notifications appear on your lock screen,
now they appear at the bottom of your screen and you can customize
how the notifications appear on your new iPhone 14 or iPhone 14 Pro.
And this is the next thing you should do on your new iPhone 14 or iPhone 14 Pro.
If you go to Settings and then tap on Notifications, this will take you to the Notifications Settings.
Here, you can choose between these three options.
The default is set to be “Stack”, which organizes notifications into a single set
on a per-app basis.
Another option is called “Count”, and it’ll show you the number of notifications you have in total.
And finally, there is another option called “List”, which shows you a list of all the notifications you have.
With the launch of the iPhone 14 Pro series,
Apple has also revealed a new feature called “Dynamic Island”.
And trying out the Dynamic Island feature is the next thing you should do
on your new iPhone 14 Pro or iPhone 14 Pro Max.
This feature is meant to make use of the area around the pill-shaped notch
which houses the “True Depth” selfie camera, The face ID technology, and the proximity sensor.
Dynamic Island is a great way to interact with apps on your iPhone 14 Pro or iPhone 14 Pro Max.
It acts as an app switcher for effortless multitasking,
show you what music is playing
with its album cover, and much more.
With iOS 16,
you can now schedule emails to be sent at a specific date and time in the Mail app.
And this is something you should definitely try on your new iPhone 14 or iPhone 14 Pro Max.
Just compose a mail with all the required details, and then long press on the “Send” button,
and choose any of these presets from the list, or tap on “Send Later” to choose
a date and time of your choice, and then tap on done.
You can set up multiple lock screens on your iPhone 14 or iPhone 14 Pro Max.
And this is the next thing you should try doing on your new iPhone 14 or iPhone 14 Pro.
To do this, touch and hold your lock screen, then swipe left and tap on the “Plus” button,
it’ll show you several different lock screen presets, choose one and tap on “Done”.
Repeat the same steps to add multiple lock screens,
you can also switch between them by simply tapping
and holding on the current lock screen and swiping to the one you want,
and then tapping on it.
Another cool iOS feature that you can use on your iPhone 14
or iPhone 14 Pro is called “Focus Filters”.
If you go to “Settings” and then tap on “Focus”, it’ll present you with Focus settings
where you can add certain filters to silence calls and notifications.
You may set this based on your preferences, and this will come in very handy
if you want to set a specific lock screen and home screen with information and notifications from the apps
and accounts you allow, while ignoring the ones you don’t allow.
The Photos app on your iPhone 14 or iPhone 14 Pro Max
can now detect and delete duplicate photos and videos.
This results in significant savings for your device storage and also,
the money that we used to spend on duplicate image finder apps earlier.
Simply, open the “Photos” app and go to the “Albums” tab.
Then under “Utilities” tap on “Duplicates”, and it’ll show you all the duplicate photos
and videos.
Next, you need to tap on “Merge” next to the photos or videos you want to be merged.
You can also merge every duplicate photo or video at the same time, just tap on “Select”,
then choose “Select All”, then “Merge”.
Pretty cool, right?
The iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro Max
come with a life-saving feature called “Emergency SOS via satellite”.
And this is the next thing you should be aware of on your iPhone 14 or iPhone 14 Pro.
It lets you connect with the emergency services with the help of a satellite connection
in circumstances where there is no cellular network or Wi-Fi network coverage.
When you are not able to contact the emergency services, tap on the
“Emergency Text via Satellite” option on the calling screen,
then tap on “Report Emergency”.
Answer questions by tapping on the screen,
then follow the onscreen instructions to align
your phone to a satellite.
After a connection is established,
a message will be sent to the emergency services with
all the relevant details.
The next feature of the iPhone 14 or iPhone 14 Pro
that I’m going to share with you is simply amazing
because it’ll save your iPhone from cyberattacks.
And this is something I highly recommend you enable.
If you go to Settings and scroll down a bit, then tap on “Privacy & Security”.
This will take you to the Privacy settings where you simply need to scroll down and
under Security, you’ll find Lockdown Mode.
This Lockdown Mode feature is for individuals who are very vulnerable to complex cyberattacks,
when enabled your iPhone will disable a host of apps and features
that might further expose you and your data during a cyberattack.
Tap on this and Turn On Lockdown Mode.
It will ask for your PIN, and after entering it, the device will restart.
Another useful iPhone 14 or iPhone 14 Pro security feature is
“Rapid Security Responses”.
And you should enable this right away.
To enable this, head over to Settings, then tap “General” to go to General Settings.
Here, tap on Software Update, and then “Automatic Updates”.
Now, just toggle ON the button next to “Security Responses and System Files”.
Turning this ON will ensure that your device receives important security patches right away,
instead of waiting for a software update that might take a long time to come.
