- David and David here.
In this video, we're gonna tell you about
five iPhone settings you need to know about.
- And the first one is how to turn the Apple logo
on the back of your iPhone into a button.
- Sort of. - Sort of.
- [David Lynch] So let's go to settings,
scroll down to Accessibility.
Tap on that.
Tap on Touch,
and then down here to Back Tap.
Double Tap, Triple Tap.
When you tap the back of your iPhone two or three times,
it'll do something.
- Right.
- [David Lynch] So let's do double tap,
and we will do Screenshot.
- I thought it was a button though, David.
People are saying that
you could just press this Apple logo
and it's actually a secret button.
- It's not the Apple logo,
it's just the back of your iPhone.
More generally, accelerometers,
it'll pick it up. - Okay, nerd.
Okay, nerd. - Gets a little nerdy there.
- Yeah. - But,
tap on the back of the Apple logo, it work.
So if I double tap,
screenshot.
- [David Payette] It worked. - [David Lynch] It worked.
- That's amazing.
- Very cool.
The next setting we're gonna talk about
is gonna save you money,
and it's subscriptions.
A lot of people don't realize
that they've signed up for something
or they do realize it
and they don't know how to cancel it.
And then they end up paying way too much money
every single month and it just all adds up.
- Yeah, this happened to me recently.
I signed up for fuboTV to watch El Clasico,
didn't use it for 10 months and all of a sudden
I'm looking at my bank statement
and it's like, $70 for this service I've used once.
- I know, I'll cancel it next month.
- Yeah, cancel it next month. - Whatever.
- I'll remember.
- And you should know that with Apple services,
generally, you can cancel a subscription
the first day you have the subscription,
and it won't expire until the end of the month.
So ideally, you would just cancel it all time.
- Yeah, let's go back to the main page of the settings app.
Tap Back Tap in the upper-left corner of the screen.
Same place, tap Touch,
then Accessibility,
then Settings.
We're back.
Scroll all the way up to the top of the screen
and tap on your name.
And then tap on Subscriptions.
- Let's see what David is subscribed to.
- Yup. Apple Music,
Simply Piano,
and I got my expired Apple News plus subscription there.
- Yeah, its (mumbles). Yeah. - So,
maybe you wanna delete one.
Tap on it,
then tap cancel subscription. - Wooh!
- Its a-- - $95.
- It's a good app.
- Oh, dear.
- It's really good app.
- This is a really good example
of a subscription that you might wanna cancel
because you might not remember before May 15th of 2022.
That you're gonna get billed for $95, all of a sudden.
So, what I would do is just cancel the subscription.
And then if you want to renew,
you're gonna get this alert like on May 17th,
but let's say you don't use it on May 15th, 2022.
You take a break for a week.
Now your subscription
is gonna be active from a year
from whenever you reactivate it.
So it's actually a better deal.
I really think that we should just all
cancel all of our subscriptions every single month,
because that week that I'm paying for HBO
is a waste of money. - Yeah, waste of money.
Next, let's talk about how to make your iPhone screen
darker than you can with just the brightness slider.
- And why would you want to do that, David?
- Maybe you're in bed, it's dark in your room.
You don't need it super bright.
And sometimes the iPhone screen minimum brightness
is still too bright. - It's too bright.
Yeah, you're in a movie theater.
You're not supposed to be on your phone,
but you're on your phone and-- - Watching the previews.
- Watching the previews, right.
So, how do we do it?
Let's go back to the main page of the settings app.
Tap Back on the upper-left corner of the screen,
then Apple ID.
- [David Lynch] And settings.
- [David Payette] And settings.
- Go down to Accessibility.
Tap on that,
tap on Display and Text Size,
and then scroll all the way down to reduce white point.
First thing to do,
turn that switch off.
- [David Payette] Right.
And you'll notice that your screen gets darker right away.
Now you can adjust the slider at the bottom
to your preferred white point.
So if you make it lower, it gets brighter.
I leave mine on at 50%,
- [David Lynch] There is at a hundred.
- [David Payette] Right.
It's at a hundred but it also has to do
with the brightness setting on your iPhone.
So if you swipe down from the upper right-hand corner
of the screen to open control center.
You could still make it brighter.
It's all relative.
It sort of changes the relative brightness,
not the absolute brightness.
- [Spongebob] This isn't your average everyday darkness.
This is advance darkness.
- Before we get into the next tip,
we have a request.
Please subscribe to our YouTube channel.
Especially, if this isn't the first time
that you've seen us in a video.
That's the universe telling you
to subscribe to our channel.
And if you really want to support us,
you can join and become a David,
just like me and just like him.
- Now, if you are annoyed about pop-ups like this
in the middle of videos.
And (mumbles) this is not what I want,
I wanna watch the full video.
That's kind of like in-app ratings and reviews
where you open an app for the first time, and it says,
"Hey, give us a review."
- Right. Are you enjoying this app?
I've never used it before.
How do I know if I'm enjoying it?
I don't want to see those notifications, anymore.
- Let's go back to the main page of the settings app.
Tap Back, upper-left hand corner of the screen,
then tap Settings in the same spot
and come down here to App Store.
Tap on that.
And make sure this switch next to
In-App Ratings and Reviews is off.
I've already turned it off because it's really annoying.
- It is.
I really liked that they built this feature in.
I was surprised when I saw this for the first time,
because usually, the annoying things
are things you can't turn off.
Thanks Apple.
Next up,
cellular data.
It's not cheap.
It doesn't grow on trees
and you can limit the amount of cellular data you use.
And just sort of shut off the faucet
so you never run out of data again.
How do we do it, David?
- [David Lynch] Let's go back to the settings app main page
and then scroll up and tap on Cellular.
Here you're gonna scroll all the way down
past all the apps.
- Oh my.
- Keep going.
Look at the switch next to iCloud Drive,
make sure this switch is off.
- Right. When not connected to Wi-Fi,
use cellular network to transfer documents and data.
No.
You know what, let's just throw in a bonus tip.
Six iPhone settings you need to know about.
Let's go to photos in the settings app,
and we're gonna adjust a very similar setting.
- Yep. Back to the main page of the settings app.
Scroll down to Photos,
tap on that.
- And now let's scroll down to Cellular Data,
tap on that.
Make sure that this is off as well,
so that your iPhone can't use your cellular data
to upload your photos which are really big to iCloud photos.
When will they upload?
Whenever you're connected to Wi-Fi, which is every night.
So, this will save your data plan.
Even if you have a limited data,
you should know that
there's throttling.
It'll get slower if you use too much. So--
- Yup. - Still a good idea to keep it
to a minimum.
- Take these tips, impress your friends
and tell them where you watch this video.
And then when they come,
tell them to subscribe to our channel.
- And join, become an honorary David.
Like, my parents made me when I was born.
- (chuckles) Thanks for watching.
