- IOS 15.1 contains many new settings that can really
negatively impact the way you use your iPhone.
- In other words, it can screw up your iPhone.
- And sneaky
Apple is always trying to get you to turn those settings
that we tell you to turn off.
They want you to turn those back on.
We're going to say no apple, no chance.
- No
Let's start in the settings app, open settings, scroll down,
and we're going to tap on safari. Firstly,
look at here pretty low top. We recommend turning this off.
- We sure do because you're on a website like Google,
you're doing a search.
Google thinks that you're going to go to the first result.
So it's going to start loading images,
whatever in the background,
thinking that you're going to go to the first result in
Google, which most people do
a plurality of people do.
- Absolutely
- But not everybody.
- Yep next we're going to scroll down.
Prevent cross-site tracking, earn that on this prevents,
you know, advertisers companies from tracking
you as you go across
multiple websites in safari, on your iPhone.
- Right? This is a good privacy thing.
Yep, and then.
- Hide IP address. Tap on that.
We'd recommend tapping from trackers. Again,
just really cutting down on how much you are track
while using safari on Absolutely.
- Everyone on the internet has an IP address.
And if they know your personal IP address,
it's like knowing your home address.
- You feel like those tips
quick thumbs up on this video helps
us out tremendously.
- And you'd be surprised.
- Let's tap back to safari, back to settings,
scroll up and tap on mail. First thing to look at here,
privacy protection. Make sure this switch is on.
- Right? You're looking at an email on your iPhone.
In the background of this email are invisible tracking
pixels that are loading their images. One pixel images,
and they're loading from websites like Google and Facebook.
Why?
Because sorry,
- Track you
- To track you
- Yeah
- Protect me all activity.
So this is gonna protect your mail activity.
Let's say that you're opening an LBD email.
We were talking about this yesterday
- Hmm
- And there's a picture
of mittens and there's hats and there's jackets.
And you click on the jackets. Now,
all of a sudden LL bean has you in the jacket's bucket.
So now you're not only going to get information from lob and
about like their general promotions.
Now you're going to get more emails about jackets.
Now you're also more valuable in case LL bean,
not saying they would do this,
wants to sell your information to other jacket company
- Jackets are us.
- right?
- They say, we want, that person will sell by that list.
And then you're getting emails from jackets are us and you'd
never sign up for that.
- I didn't sign up for this
- Next tab back upper left-hand
corner of the screen and tap on accounts. Then tap,
fetch new data. Are we doing here?
- We're going to start off push at the top.
That's number one.
And then we're going to change fetch to
an interval of your choice.
- I prefer every 30 minutes.
I don't use a lot of mail on my iPhone.
And one thing we should say, like,
even though mail is going to be pushed to you constantly,
anytime you open the mail app, it does get pushed to you.
So you're not really losing anything.
If you're enjoying this video,
consider subscribing to this channel, obviously iOS 15.1,
won't be the final iOS update.
And we're going to put out more iOS update, you know,
settings, videos, and.
- We are gonna catch you back
So subscribe because we have your back.
And because we're trying to,
to 1 million subscribers
and it would mean a lot to us.
- Let's tap back main page of settings.
And we're gonna to go up here to privacy
first tap on tracking allow apps to request, since to track.
- So we want to turn the switch off
- Right
- Switch off
because it's annoying because every time I actually turned
the sun the other day,
for some reason,
and then I was opening all these apps and it's like, Hey,
Reddit would like to track you across different apps.
Of course I said, no.
- Well, they're, they're banking on you just tap it
Okay, Okay, Okay, Okay.
I just want to use my app
- Right. And it's not apple.
That's banking on you. It's all these other companies.
And that's why Facebook hates it.
- Yes
- Hates this setting.
They said it was going to ruin small businesses who are
using this type of data to target their customers,
- See a couple options,
you can go one by one. And if you want, you know,
one of these apps to be able to track you all the time,
uh then
- God bless you.
- Fine.
- Maybe you own Facebook.
- Maybe you're,
maybe mark Zuckerberg is watching this video.
- Yeah
- However, i just like, turn the switch off
at the top of the screen,
then tap, ask apps to stop tracking.
It turns off all the switches and now no other apps
will be able to.
- Now if you see
the CEO of one of these companies.
and you want us to say like, oh,
maybe you should leave this app on,
- Yeah
- Feel free to reach out with an offer.
- Yeah,
Yeah Contact emails in the, about page.
- It's in the about page.
- Let's tap back to privacy,
scroll down here for a quick tip analytics and improvements.
turn off that switch at the top of the screen.
- Right? But how much can that actually do David?
- It's a little bit.
- A lot.
- A little bit.
- A whole lot. Because if you look at this,
all this stuff in analytics daily,
all this is getting sent to apple.
This is all personal information.
- And you could also use cellular data to send this
information to apple.
- Of course.
- If you're in a low data plan,
then those little chunks they add up over time and you know,
you run on a data
- Right
- Next let's tap back one below
analytics and improvements is apple advertising.
I like to turn off personalized ads.
Apple says you won't see a reduction in the
number of ads you see,
which might not be true because now you're a
less valuable advertising target,
but you're still going to see the relevant ads.
- I'm a person I'm not an advertising target.
Or am I.
(music playing)
- You are,
if you're using a free service like Facebook
- Right.
Yeah. So they say right.
and the social network,
if you don't know what the product is, you're the product.
- Yeah.
- Your are the product.
- So if you're concerned about not seeing relevant ads,
don't worry, you can still be delivered contextual ads.
If you're on an iPhone health website,
you might see an iPhone repair service to kind of
- Right
just makes sense like that.
And if you really want super personalized ads based on what
apple is sending you, you could turn it on.
- I think they think that they're going to see like
you know, really bad stuff if they turn this off,
because all of a sudden I'm going to see low quality ads
- Right
nefarious advertisers,
and it's not going to make a difference.
- Let's sit back to privacy record app activity.
We're still waiting on that like really nice interface here.
- Right
- And I thought 15.1 would give that to us.
Hopefully 15.2. I don't know.
I'm not like I'm getting increasingly
pessimistic about this,
but this is going to save a summary of when your app
access your data.
- I can't remember a time when apple announced a feature and
they had the screenshots and then they were kind of like,
maybe we're not gonna actually do that.
- Yeah. So you can tap, save app activity.
And I'll give you this Jason file
which is really difficult for
you know pretty much anyone to figure out Once.
- We see a big dentist, that's like 528 kilobytes
- Kilobytes yeah
- That's like a half a megabyte.
that's 500,000 characters that you have to sift through
to understand what this is doing.
I think that they don't have it turned on yet because they
know that when people see how many websites,
apps are actually contacting, most of it's totally legit.
- Most of them
- They're going to go to every single app developer
and be like, why are you tracking me on Google?
You know, mine sweeper
- Yeah
- Is Minesweeper an app.
- I'm sure there's a Minesweeper app.
I'm sure it was a bad app developer who made one that will
track you on Google.
- Yeah, I bet they are tracking.
- We set back on privacy.
We're going to go up here and tap on location services.
First things, firstly, that location services switched on.
We're not crazy,
but we do want to help you pick and choose which apps
actually get to use your location.
- Right, We want to put you in control.
- And the word to look out for here is always so Drafting
daily fantasy sports website,
daily fantasy sports is not legal in every state,
but it is in New York.
And for Africans needs your location to confirm where you
are to make sure you're not placing illegal contest entries.
- Right?
Torque is why is draft Kings legal in New York?
can anyone tell me
- I don't know
- It must have something to do with money
- Yeah
- While using this app
is a good choice because
then it will only use it well using the app.
(music playing)
- Also look out for precise locations over an app like this.
I just need to be present in New York.
It doesn't need to be that precise,
but when you have precise location,
plus always
- Right
- Super to the point where you are and
you can just bring your back battery life.
- Battery life, Yeah.
The more precise your iPhone can tell your location,
the more power it puts out,
contacting the GPS and doing all that stuff.
and it could be a big difference.
So turning this switch off and save your battery life.
It's not just a matter of privacy.
- Let's tap back upper left-hand corner of the screen
we're going to come down here to system services.
We have a whole bunch of switches turned on by default.
And we're really only going to leave on a few it's emergency
calls and SOS find my iPhone.
And then if you use share my location, leave that one on to.
- Um hmm yep
a lot of these settings. Sound scary if you turn them off,
but they're not networking and wireless.
this has to do with the Yuan chip. For instance,
if I want to point my phone at somebody in airdrop,
something has opposed to,
i guess it might be helpful in like a very crowded subway.
If you're airdropping to your friends,
you're not going to see everybody else's phone.
If you point your phone at them,
but if you're not turn this off.
- So, we turned off all these switches,
let's scroll down and tap on significant locations
used to be frequent locations, that sounded weird apples.
Like maybe we should rebrand this.
So people don't think that we're
- We're
- We're like stalking them
- Stalking them.
- So this will say it a list of all the places you've been,
you know, helps out in calendar photos, mail.
- Yep
- It knows Where home is, it knows where work is.
- But you know, I don't really, you know,
if you're someone who doesn't use that and you want to save
a little bit of battery life,
significant locations from that switch off
turn off.
- Great.
- Let's tap back.
- Uh hmm
- Look under here, product improvement
where it's going to turn these right off.
- Yeah.
The other day I wanted to go get some cat food.
I asked Siri, Hey, when does Petco close?
She's like, oh, close at 8:00 PM.
I get there closed at seven.
(uh)
I don't think it has anything to do with that.
But it was really, you know.
- That sounds frustrating.
earlier in this video we tease a tip for
iPhone 13 pro and 13 pro max users.
We're gonna go to the camera section of the settings app,
inner stuff for all iOS, 15 users in here too.
So let's get going back one more time.
Come down here to camera,
tap on that.
and we'll start with formats.
Here is a new iOS 15.1 setting video capture
apple pro is
- Right
This is a dangerous feature.
If you don't know what you're doing with it.
I think the number one reason it's dangerous is because of
the amount of data or the storage space that
these files take up.
It's crazy. What does it say?
Six gigabytes
- Six gigabytes for One minute, four K.
and then also the transferring from your iPhone to your
computer is really, really slow.
- Right
- And it just
- It's it's definitely slow
that if USB 2.0, data speeds
from an iPhone 13, we tested it.
We did a test
- Yeah
- We tested
- Very slow
- Very slow yeah.
- So most people you're, it's a cool feature.
You might want to try it out for like a 15 second video.
That's fine
- Right
- But you're really, unless you're a pro videographer
recording movies
- Right
- On your iPhone that are then edited in
final cut or Adobe premier pro, if you need
if you have all those things, fine,
leave it on. But for most people.
- Right, the camera app makes movies look really good.
this records a whole bunch of other data that if you wanted
to make them look really different would be very useful.
But if you want your movies to look good, just leave.
- Let's tap back to camera and then tap on preserve settings
at the top of the screen,
preserve camera mode, kind of a convenience feature.
Maybe you're recording videos and you gotta go back and
forth and back and forth and you don't want it to reset to
photo every single time.
- Uh hmm
- There you go.
- Right
- There a big one is live photo.
- Right
Conspiracy yes because
apple wants you to leave this setting on all the time
so that you take little video files,
which are life live photos instead of photos.
Now I might think that this isn't a conspiracy.
If this page was in alphabetical order,
but all of a sudden they put live in
- Yeah look at that
- You know what I'm talking about?
- Yeah sneaky
- They do not sneaky apple.
Drafting don't want you to turn that off.
Now this is the Wolf in sheep's clothing.
- Yup, be careful with that. You know,
it takes a bunch of store space and
- They're going to keep adding more.
I Bet i bet in like a 15.2 or at least by 16,
we've got set a bed. It's off the bottom.
- It will be below
- Yeah
- We set back to camera.
And they're going to scroll all the way down here that our
iOS 15.1 camera feature auto macro.
- Uh hm Yep.
Just a convenience feature.
What I have that on.
- Switching the macro lens is kind of tricky
when you do it manually to
go to the 0.5, tap on the screen.
And I have easier just to do them out on macro
- Yeah i think.
that this is going to be improved over the next few iOS
updates. And I bet we'll see some new settings in here too.
- Yeah setback to the main page of the settings app.
There's exchange that we noticed today,
actually scroll up to cellular a couple of things to look at
here, scroll all the way down.
If you had a couple of switches here, iCloud drive,
we're going to turn this off.
And then I cloud backup. This used to be in settings,
your name, iCloud, iCloud backup.
And then it was kind of buried there and we're like.
- Wait a minute. Yes, this is silly.
And it has everything to do with cellular.
- And this actually got turned back on for me without my
knowledge. So, you know,
it really highlights the importance of actually going back
and checking all these settings pretty regularly.
- Yep
- But iCloud back up over cellular data.
- I wonder it got turned back on because they moved it here,
- It's possible
- Yeah it's just yeah
- Do you want iCloud backups to be done over cellular data?
- Nope
- No because they're gigantic and
you'll burn through your entire data plan.
- Yeah or your high-speed data cap
If you have an unlimited data plan.
- Yeah. Just back it up over wifi,
those updates can happen automatically.
It's plugging your iPhone connected to wifi.
- Yep Where you go and turn off the screen
it will happen automatically.
- One thing we're seeing more and more with iOS updates,
like 15.1 is that apple is finally admitting that some of
the things that are just turned on by default on your iPhone
do use battery life. And it's so significant.
They had to admit to it.
One of those settings is background app refresh.
We've been saying, you said this like what 2015.
- I said this like 2015. Yeah.
I used to say in the apple store, 2011.
- Let's set back to settings
tab general tab background app refresh.
First thing to look at here at background app refresh top of
the screen, currently set to wifi and cellular data.
That means that your iPhone can use wifi or cellular data to
download new content for apps in the background
of your Bet i
- Yeah, even when you're not using them and it's going to be
downloaded new stuff,
battery drainer or cellular data drainer
- Yep, let's switch that to wifi.
And then you've got this list of apps,
which apps do you want to be able to download new content in
the background of your iPhone messaging apps?
I probably do because you want those messages to download
and then when you open the app right there.
- Exactly
- But pretty much anything else
I mean
- Yeah
cause cause it's going to download this content.
When you open the app, how long does it take it?
It doesn't take very long at all.
- Yes Open the app boom
- Battery life.
Every time you flipped one of these switches,
give yourself a pat on the back because you're saving a
little bit more battery life.
- So while switches why don't you tell them,
why they should join this channel.
(Drum beating)
- Well in our Discord
and we're gonna be giving away some bigger stuff
coming up pretty soon for the way the air tags
also early access to some videos members, shout outs.
We're just now rolling out those videos
we're we shouted out the members and yeah
- I'm still, I'm still going here,
this is, this is, this is brutal.
- He did great.
- There we go.
- Whoo
- We did it
(Music playing)
Next stop, let's go back to the main page
of the settings app,
scroll down and tap on accessibility.
Then tap motion.
First thing, real quick, reduced motion. top of the screen ,
you know, small battery chip
it'll cut down on those animations.
It's a bit jarring at first,
but you kind of get used to it .
- Right and then limit frame rate here.
We're going to limit it to 60 frames per second.
So we're turning off the 120 Hertz display.
We're just like tap back a couple of times in the menu there
and then go forward again.
(music playing)
Okay and then turn the off limit frame rate.
I don't see big difference
- When I first took out the iPhone 13 pro
compared to my iPhone 11,
i definitely noticed the 120 hertz refresh rate.
- Right
so when you were scrolling
- Yeah
- Yeah, Cause the display itself is better too.
- Yeah
- I mean it's like an XDR display.
- Yeah
- I just, I don't see a huge difference.
I know that there is a huge difference. I get it.
I've seen the slow-mo videos,
but this will save battery life
- Well what You could do is you can try it out
with the 60,
60 Hertz vs 120 hertz
If you want to say some battery life and you don't
really care and it looks the same to you.
Go ahead turn that off
- Yeah 120 hertz it look silky smooth i know
I just don't have an iPhone 13 pro so
I'm a little jealous Maybe.
- Those are our iOS 15.1 settings changed.
