- We all know that there's more to the iPhone
than just the settings app.
A lot of third party apps
have their own privacy settings
that you need to change
to protect your personal privacy.
- Right, like Facebook for instance.
But, even if you don't use Facebook,
stick around because we're gonna get to
another really important third party app
that you've probably never heard of,
but is really gonna protect privacy.
- [Speaker 1] Go back to the home screen.
Going to open up Facebook in my iPhone.
Tap on your account icon
lower right hand corner of the screen.
Scroll down to settings and privacy.
Open that menu, then tap on settings.
One thing your going to notice here
is that a lot of this stuff is buried
because they don't want you changing it.
- Yup.
- [Speaker 1] So we're gonna scroll down again
to Ad Preferences. Let's tap on Ad Preferences.
Tap on Ad Settings at the top of the screen.
Scroll down here to Manage Data Used to Show You Ads.
Tap on Data about Activity from Partners.
Use Data from Partners, turn that switch off.
- Alright, now before you go to the comment section
and say your going to fast, slow down.
Know that there is a feature in YouTube
that you can use and we'll have put it on the screen
a little bit before this,
to slow down the video if we're going to fast.
The problem is that it's hard to go fast enough
for some people, slow enough for other people.
We do our best, use that pause button
to the best of your ability.
We apologize if we're not going the right speed for you.
- Yes. Turn that switch off, choose whether Facebook
can use data from their partners
to show you personalized ads, no.
- Ain't that the truth, geez.
- [Speaker 1] So we're going to scroll up and tap back,
upper left hand corner of the screen.
Scroll up again, tap back
and then we're going to look for Location.
It's under Security, tap on Location.
So, Location Services While Using,
we set that up in iPhone settings,
but here, Location History, allow Facebook to
save a history of precise locations
received from your devices.
- Why?
- [Speaker 1] Tap on Location History, turn that switch off.
- [Speaker 2] I don't trust any of this stuff.
- [Speaker 1] Now, if you leave location history on,
you can set an Auto Delete, if you really want Facebook
to have your precise location, then sorta automate that,
but I'm just gonna turn that switch off,
I don't want Facebook saving the location history.
- Yeah, I think that they probably do
whatever they need to do with it.
Store it and then
Oh Auto Delete it, okay, I trust you now. Yeah.
- One other app with a lot of privacy settings
is Twitter, and their on the news now.
Elon Musk is going to save Twitter.
Is he gonna change these settings, later, maybe.
Open up Twitter and tap on your account icon
upper left hand corner of the screen.
Scroll down and tap on Settings and Privacy
and then tap Privacy and Safety.
So, scroll down and tap on Ads Preferences.
Same thing with Facebook, here on Twitter
Personalized Ads, turn that switch off.
- [Speaker 2] Didn't Elon Musk say he was going to get rid
of ads completely?
- [Speaker 1] Did he?
- [Speaker 2] He did. He said he's going to get rid of ads.
It reminded me of like a class president
in Elementary school being like
we're going to get vending machines,
there's going to be free pizza on Thursdays
and no more homework.
And your like, I vote for Johnny
and then sure enough, none of that happens.
We'll see if ads disappear from Twitter.
- I hope he improves the platform,
I'm not holding my breath.
- No, I don't think so.
I mean if he's not gonna make it profitable,
I mean not like it is, but like if he's not even
try to make it profitable, he's a, I mean,
He's a smart dude.
He's gonna make the money some other way.
I want to now how.
- [Speaker 1] Next, tap back,
upper left hand corner of the screen.
Let's tap on Data Sharing with Business Partners.
Allow additional information sharing with business partners.
- Yeah, that's a little vague for my taste.
So personal information sharing with business partners?
- [Speaker 1] Twitter always shares information
with business partners as a way to run
and improve it's products.
When enabled, this allows Twitter to
share additional information with those partners
- [Speaker 2] Additional Information.
- [Speaker 1] to help support running Twitter's business.
So they're already sending some information.
Do you want them to send even more information? Uh?
- I can't believe that people have to pay for this service.
If they're sending like your, you are the product.
So, yeah, turn this off. That's crazy.
- [Speaker 1] Yup, tap back,
upper left hand corner of the screen.
Off Twitter activity, manage how Twitter uses
your online activity outside of Twitter.
Do you want to allow use of where you
see Twitter content across the web? No.
Personalize based on your inferred identity.
(laughing)
- What the hell does that mean? What does that even mean?
- [Speaker 1] Twitter will always personalize your
experience based on information you've provided, as well as
(mumble)
When this setting is enabled,
Twitter may also personalize based on other inferences.
- Inferences?
- Inferences about your identity, like email addresses
and phone numbers and devices and browsers
you haven't used to log into Twitter.
- What?
- It's a lot of stuff.
- That's freaking crazy.
- Turn that switch off.
- I just think of these apps,
people are always talking about
"Oh is it like using my microphone
or my camera to track me?"
And a lot of the time, obviously, no, right?
Because their not doing that, but they don't need to
because they can see every swipe, every thing
that you do on your phone, they can see.
- You thought we were done with Twitter, uh,
- I did.
- We're not.
Tap back upper left hand corner of the screen.
Location Information.
Personalize based on places you've been.
Eh, no.
- [Speaker 2] No, I don't think so.
- [Speaker 1] Also, Precise Location here,
I have tested this.
Even when you turn it off in iPhone settings,
you still have to come in here and
just make like triple sure,
I did this on my phone and it was still on.
Uh, so I'm going to turn off Precise Location.
Turn it off in both places.
- That's so silly
- Now we can't go through every single app.
If there is a specific app you'd like us to talk about,
leave a comment down below, let us know.
Uh, Google's our big one obviously and
there's a whole bunch of Google account settings.
- A whole bunch of TikTok's, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Well, TikTok, they make it really hard
you can't even turn off a personalized ads on TicTok.
- Right, they change their mind.
- Yeah.
- Yeah. Cause you used to be able to.
- But really, go into some of the apps
used most often, look for those settings
and privacy settings and uh, see what you can find.
- Yeah, let us know.
- UT is an app earlier in this video,
let's talk about that app.
- Cloudflare, Cloudflare is this awesome security service,
That will protect you online in a way that
an HTTPS website, for instance an encrypted website can not.
Additionally it's going to make your phone faster
and you can choose to have it block malware websites.
So, in case you accidentally go to a website
that asks you to download Flash,
it just won't go to that website, which is amazing.
And, additionally if you wanted to,
you can have it block malware and adult content,
like for your kids' devices
and then you don't have to pay for that stuff.
Cloudflare is an amazing service,
they make all their money selling services to Enterprise.
This is something they provide for free,
you should install it.
- [Speaker 1] Yup, so let's go to the
app store on your iPhone.
Tap that search tab, type in Cloudflare,
look for 1.1.1.1 Faster Internet,
tap that install button.
While this app is installing, we'd really appreciate
if you could join this channel.
- Joining this channel is a great way to help us out
and support David on his birthday.
- Almost. It's tomorrow, but.
- What it's tomorrow? Zec, you ready?
- Oh boy.
- Okay, last time you blew it out too soon,
♪ Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you. ♪
♪ Happy Birthday dear David, Happy Birthday to you. ♪
Come on Zec.
- I feel like, like
- Okay, sorry.
- The universal ya know awkward moment is people
that's sitting there while your
singing Happy Birthday to them.
(blowing)
So, by now that app has installed.
Let's open up 1.1.1.1
(laughter)
- This is looking worse and worse every time.
- Yeah, looks delicious.
(laughter)
So you get this splash screen, What is WARP?
and it'll get you some of the details that
David here just gave ya. Just tap that next button.
Our Commitment to Privacy, we talk a lot about
companies that are, not great with privacy,
Cloudflare is an exception, they are awesome.
- Great with privacy.
- [Speaker 1] Tap accept.
Install VPN Profile, tap on that, tap Allow.
Enter your passcode.
Allow notifications, do you want notifications, I don't.
- [Speaker 2] Nope. Don't need them.
- So right now, my internet is not private.
1.1.1.1 would like to find and connect
to devices on your local network.
- [Speaker 2] Yes.
- [Speaker 1] Yes. Tap OK.
And let's turn on that switch.
It's nice and big, you can't miss it.
- You can't miss that switch.
And I mentioned the malware filtering,
which is something companies like Norton try to sell you,
but this does better anyway.
Let's just turn that on
and the reason I want to walk you through it is
because it's kind of buried, but let's do it.
So in the app, click on the hamburger icon
in the upper right to open settings,
and then go to Advanced,
and then Connection Options,
and then DNS Settings,
and then 1.1.1.1 for Families
and choose Block Malware, which is what I choose
or choose Block Malware and Adult Content if you want to.
- [Speaker 1] There we go, little check mark will appear.
Job well done.
- So now if you go to a website,
like even through Google, which you think
would do a better job of filtering
and if doesn't load, it's because it's a malware website.
This thing works really well and it will make
your devices faster even.
You can set this up manually, but if you do,
it won't work for every website
and with your cellular network.
You have to use the profile, the VPN settings
to do it that way, so, the app is the way to go.
Turns itself on automatically.
I think I've sold it but it's worth it.
- Yeah couple best practices for you
while using your iPhone,
don't use unsecured Wi-Fi networks.
- Right. iPhones have gotten better
about warning you about this stuff,
but unsecured Wi-Fi networks are amazingly unsecured.
You could have somebody sittin' next to ya
and just seeing exactly what your doing.
- Yup.
- You don't wanna do that.
- Yeah don't go to your local coffee shop
and just, yeah.
- Yeah, that's another tip really.
If you wanna be super secure,
it's better to use a hotspot on your phone,
especially now that people
have unlimited data plans more often.
Better to use the hotspot, than the local Wi-Fi
because you don't know what
that Wi-Fi is collecting about you.
However, something like Cloudflare WARP,
which bypasses the Wi-Fi's DNS,
blah, blah, blah,
technical is more secure.
So this will keep you protected.
- Also be cautious of public charging stations.
Especially at a place like an airport.
- Yeah airport, Disney World.
- Yup, you never know whose on
the other end of that charger.
- Yeah and iPhones have gotten better with that
little trust pop-up, that pops up now,
so it used to be the thing,
it'd just steal a bunch of stuff from you.
I still really don't trust them
and for privacy but also because you don't know
what kind of powers that's coming out of that thing,
you get a power surge, your phone's fried.
That happens. Watch out.
- Watch.
- Look Out!

your personal information isn't secure,

of information about you.
- That is the truth. In this video we're gonna talk about..
