Hey friends, Andrew here hope you're well! I've been testing the new iOS 17 here on my iPhone 14
over the last couple weeks and I've come up with 14 settings you'll want to change immediately as
soon as you upgrade to iOS 17! The updated beta was just launched so we're now just around the
corner from the full launch of iOS 17 and there are some great changes here to go through so here
is the settings you want to change right away so the very first helpful setting to turn on is auto
delete Verification codes you know the number codes that you get here to log into platforms
yep well your iPhone can now Auto delete them as soon as the verification code has been used
to turn on this new feature go into settings and then scroll all the way down to passwords and then
from passwords click password options and then you can see this new Option here which is Verification
codes clean up automatically so switch that on and now as soon as you've used the autofill feature
for these codes they'll automatically delete both in your text messages or emails I think this is a
setting that everyone should change since almost everyone deals with Verification codes the next
new feature to turn on is the check-in feature which lets people know that you've arrived safely
to a destination and if touch would you don't actually arrive your phone will alert friends
or family it's a great safety and quality of life feature to turn this on go into the message app
and then tap the new plus icon here the animation and the menu UI has changed as you can tell I
think it looks beautiful and then with this pop-up here you scroll down and then click check in and
as you can see this has already been set up but I can't send the check in because most people don't
have IOS 17 yet but there is a very important setting that I think you should change here and
if you're cautious of privacy this is important so go into settings and then go into messages
is and then from messages scroll down to data and you can see here that you have the option
of limited or full and now I would change this to limited which doesn't share the exact
routes you've taken and more device info if it's something that you do want to send well then click
full but if you're concerned about privacy I do recommend changing it to limited here is another
big one we finally have interactive widgets in iOS 17. a feature that was unique to Android but
hey better late than never so now you can see that with some widgets you can literally click
the reminder and take it off right in the widget on the home screen so you don't need to do much
here to enable this all you need to do is add the widgets so let's say let's drag in this and
now you can literally play the music directly from the home screen that's just an example of
the stuff that you can do obviously there's not much support for this at the moment but I can't
wait to see what the developers do and yeah from my testing it seems to make a minimal difference
to battery life so that's a plus as well let's move on to some cool new features with the camera
app if you're serious about mobile photography I'd highly recommend turning on the new camera
leveling feature it's kind of hard to show you but now if I'm to take a photo and it's slightly
off-center there is this sort of leveling feature that pops up for like a couple seconds and shows
you how to get that perfectly leveled shot this seems like a feature that's off by default on iOS
17 at least in the beta version so what I do is go into settings and then in the camera the settings
go down to composition and you can see this new level function so I would turn that on I would
recommend turning all of these on these just give you better control as you can see for the grid
element and leveling features this will just give you better control with the iPhone camera while
we're here in the camera there is another iOS 17 upgrade that is one of my favorites and it's
visual lookup they've upgraded this to become even better and let's say for example I took a photo of
this dog and I'm curious about what breed it is you can now literally just hold it and then click
look up and it will literally tell you the breed of the dog and it's a whippet so now that it's
tagged you can see that there is a little dog icon lookup icon here look up whip it and yeah there's
a lot that you can do with this feature you can literally go take photos or videos of laundry
symbols and then decipher them you can even get recipes based on food pictures but yeah this is
amazing and this feature should be on by default so give it a go it's actually been really useful
over the last couple weeks before we move on to the next few settings I want to share a really
useful app with you and its pulse way that today's video is sponsoring so if you're tired of constant
monitoring and managing your it infrastructure you want to try pulse way it's the ultimate remote
monitoring and management solution with pulseway you can gain real-time insights into health of
your systems servers and networks right from your smartphone or tablet so don't let it problems hold
you back pulse way frees up your systems by fixing issues and deploying updates on the go no matter
where you are so experience the power and freedom of pulse way you can try it for free with the link
in the description box so moving on for those of you who use Safari in iOS 17 you now get a really
useful profiles feature here to better organize your tabs and bookmarks depending on what you're
trying to do so to turn this on go into settings and then scroll go down to Safari and then under
Safari scroll down again and click under profiles new profile so depending on what you want to
achieve I typically recommend to set up one for work play and sometimes even for like browsing or
researching so let's say I am looking for new tennis shoes I will type in tennis shoes and
then click the icon that you want to pick Let's just use the smiley face and then color code it
and you can literally choose what new tabs open on and then your favorites page so you can see
here now that tennis shoes pops up and this is just a really easy way to group your tabs and
get organized rather than having hundreds of tabs open like I do so yeah this is a great option to
have on another clutch new Safari feature is family passwords it's designed to help safely
share passwords with other people so go into settings and then go into passwords here so
in here you'll now see a new Option it's called share passwords and pass Keys click get started
and set it up and you get prompted to add people into this group and then add a group name and then
from there once you have it all set up you can now basically share passwords and logins without
needing to share your password plus others in that group can also add their own logins and passwords
so the passwords are all stored in the iCloud keychain and our end-to-end encrypted so they're
secure for the most part and it makes for a great free alternative to password sharing apps like
one password and LastPass for example so let's continue talking about Safety and Security because
this is quite important and the next feature that you should check out is safety check it
is a pre-existing feature that's definitely worth turning on and checking out so go to settings and
then scroll down to privacy and security here and then safety check right at the bottom and
from here what this is going to do is you should click manage sharing and access right here and
it's a really easy way to review all your privacy permissions in one spot it's sort of like taking
stock of all your privacy and safety settings and it's worth doing here and there if you have
never done it definitely recommend you check this out and just see where your safety and security
features are at the next one in the same privacy settings here's something you should definitely
turn off and it's location usage so scroll all the way back up and go into location services don't
turn this off because this is still important for a lot of different apps but if you scroll down to
system Services here there is a lot of things here that you can turn off and this will both
save your privacy and also your battery so I would go through this and turn off things that aren't
necessarily important to you for example maybe you don't use a compass that I would turn that off
um scroll down you know if you don't use homekit I'd turn that off location based suggestions and
one of the biggest ones to turn off is significant locations this keeps a complete track of
everywhere you go to give you recommendations and I don't think it's necessarily that important so
again if you're big on privacy and you're trying to save battery I would turn off significant
locations sensitive content warning is a new iOS 17 feature that protects you from inappropriate
content received on messages airdrop and more so if you'd prefer to avoid confronting content you
can now turn on this new feature through settings going back into privacy and security here and then
scroll down to the new sensitive content warning so right here and you can now turn this on so now
if you receive inappropriate content like this you'll get a warning and if you still want to
see it you can just click show and then you can see it you can also press the warning symbol
here to block the contact and then there's even a thoughtful way to get help button which will take
you to Links where you can get mental support this is stuff that I love to see from Apple
next if you want to get rid of the Annoying catcher forms like this Auto verification is
a setting you'll want to turn on that can help you bypass things like this so to turn this on
go into settings and then go into your Apple ID and then in your Apple ID click sign in and
security and then all the way at the bottom there is an advanced button here automatic verification
turn that on this feature has improved since I was 16 and supports more websites now I do not
miss trying to figure out if the stupid traffic light fits into the capture box so yeah this Def
One definitely comes in clutch in the maps app in iOS 17 you can now download offline maps so it's
perfect for when you go traveling so to download a map click on your avatar and then you can see
offline maps here you can download a new map and you can just click the location that you want and
then zoom in on the exact section that you want to download let's go look into Manhattan and you can
click download it also gives you the estimated size of the map but once you click download
it will download that map for you so now in offline maps I have made sure that it only
downloads over Wi-Fi and automatic updates are on also I will turn on only use offline maps this
helps save again battery and data also while we're here a fun fact if you own an electric vehicle
Maps now shows charging stations with real-time availability so we can find the station with
a free charger which is really useful if I click into this one you can see that the pricing is paid
there's 10 charges available and you can also see the type of charger available so that's definitely
a Nifty feature added into Maps if you appreciate emojis and stickers you're going to like the new
animated stickers so to create these bring up the image that you want to use and then long press the
subjects and then you can see this new Option click add sticker and then from here it's just
out of the sticker and if you hold this as well you can add effect so with the add effects you can
add outlines you can add different effects you can even make it animated as well let's just go with
the outline and then if I go into the messages now you can literally react now with stickers
and you can save them in this box here it's fun neat Edition you can also animate the sticker
too if you have a live photo so the last iOS 17 setting to change is to turn on live voicemail
and silence unknown callers so as you can see when you turn it on you get a live feed of when
someone goes to your voicemail box and you can still choose to pick up the phone call or you can
just see that it's a Spam call and just ignore it unfortunately this is only available in the
US and Canada so if you are in those regions I would go into settings and under course if
you're again in the US or Canada it will appear here as live voicemail and then you just need to
toggle it on while you're also here make sure to also toggle on a silence unknown callers
this is going to help if you don't want you know those unknown numbers bothering you so
I'm going to turn that on if you made it to the very end of this video guys drop the code with
a comment emoji and I'll give it a like if you found this video useful I'd really appreciate
if you drop a like and be sure to subscribe for more and I'll also drop a link to the wallpaper
I usually get some comments about it so I'll be in the description box below and also if you have
a Mac I'll share on screen here some videos to some setting changes and also favorite Mac apps
that you should check out and as always thanks for watching I'll see you in the next video
