hi everyone Aaron here for zollotech and many of you have asked me to do a what's on my
iphone video for 2022. and so i thought it was about the right time it's been over six months
since i usually do one every six months or so and this time around i thought we'd go over
all of my apps and why i use those apps and then share a few with you toward the end of the video
that maybe you would want to check out also now this is my home screen that's been fairly similar
for quite a long time and i should probably change it up but the overall layout works really
efficiently for me so i have mostly apple apps at the top where almost everything is apple apps
from about the third row up and as you can see in the upper right i have the weather widget so
i like to have this widget here just to quickly glance at the weather see what the weather will
be like for the next week or so and then just take a look at air quality and things like that
i find it very convenient and it's definitely something that i really look at actually probably
more than i should then of course i have phone in the upper left that's there because i don't take
a lot of phone calls so i leave it in the upper left and then photos as well and cameras there
if i need it now reminders i have and i don't use reminders a whole lot other than with using siri
so i'll use siri to set a reminder and then might look at it if it doesn't pop up on my screen
for the day notes is something i use all of the time in fact every single day every single video
i usually use that for notes or an outline or ideas and everything else so that's something
probably one of the most heavily used apps that i use and then i have the home app for lights
and things around my house and my office so as you can see here's the home app it's actually
attached to an outlet i also have a few that aren't responding but then i have some scenes
for sometimes lighting in the background and different things i can change the color of
and then at the bottom you'll see i have a camera that camera's turned off when i walk in the room
turns back on when i leave for security so that's something that's just super convenient it's one
of those logitech circle view cameras and it works pretty well that way and it's encrypted
so i don't really have any automations or anything else but i use this for lighting
also i have the app store just to check for updates there of course settings then my church
folder i've had forever and then also apple maps apple maps i actually find that i use quite a bit
if i'm not using my regular car you'll see i have the tesla app here and tesla's come pre-installed
with google maps so there is no option for apple carplay so i'll use apple maps usually if i'm
not driving my car or i'm with someone else or i just need directions and i'm not in that car
so apple maps has gotten really good it shows the speed and i like the overall look of it compared
to google maps it's also got a lot of detail if you go into maybe a local city such as the
closest city to me which is charlotte so you'll see we have all that detail here some cities of
course are more detailed than others and you have the speed limit and everything else so it's super
nice super convenient and it has everything from different sites to see and more with local guides
so i definitely find it to be one of the better ways to look at maps sometimes it's better than
google maps other times it isn't if i want to see if something's busy someplace then i'll actually
go into google maps here i have social networking i should probably rename this to messaging
but you'll see that i have whatsapp here i only use that to talk to one or two people overseas
typically in the united states if you're an iphone user you'll find that people use messages
and that's why i use messages here in the u.s people use messages because that's what's stock
on their phone text messages are free for most plans or just about every plan out there in the
united states so on an iphone most people that have iphones just use imessage it's secure and
encrypted and then if you have an android phone typically people just use the default
messenger installed so whether that's google messages or samsung messages or something else
that's usually what people are using i have a couple friends that use android
and they typically just use the default messaging app so some people do use whatsapp but typically
it's only to speak to people overseas of course we have telegram and discord i actually have
servers set up on both so i'll link those in the description or they are linked in the description
and then also of course you can see here gmail now i use the gmail app all the time because
it's just for gmail and based on the level of security you have set with google you need to
use their gmail app for that reason so i use that specifically for gmail and nothing else
of course amazon i have and i use that all the time for accessories whether that be in
the office different things around the house or maybe i need to replace a battery in my air tag
which i actually do on one of them at this point after a year or so that's what i use amazon for
all the time and i think most people in the us probably use it at some point or another
here i have youtube with youtube studio of course to monitor everything going
on with my different videos and also reply to comments and then i can watch youtube as well
and then i have the tesla app for my car so this is actually connected to my car it acts as the
key to my car i walk up to my car it unlocks and i get in put my foot on the brake and go that's
all there is to it and if we go into the app you can see the app here here's my car it's connected
how hot it is inside it's quite warm and it has cabin overheat connect protection on and then i'm
also just covering the location of it and then you can see security and more below if i scroll down i
have summon i can actually move the car back and forward or actually bring it to me if i want to
and then we have different things such as scheduling for charging and charge stats and more
so you can set service and i actually have service that's set up for a recall for the airbag pretty
soon so i'll have that and maybe a few other recalls if there are any but that's how this app
works and you use it for pretty much everything you don't typically use a key with a tesla unless
you want to you can use a key fob on a model s but typically you use your phone now i do have
instagram and twitter i'm on twitter all day long and many people ask how do you change that icon
and if you subscribe to twitter blue you can change it then we have google and overcast
overcast is for podcasts i use this all the time it's just a way to listen to podcasts and they
keep updating the app and they've made it even better so it's what i typically use for podcasts
there's some other good ones out there as well but this is what i've used for quite some time
once in a while i'll use apple's podcasts and on my second page here you can see i have a bunch
of apple apps and this is typically because i'm making a lot of videos with this phone so
with this phone i'll make videos and then talk about different things within the apps it's
just easier to have them on page two most of the time i'm using page one then i'll go to page two
i do have games on here to test performance but typically i find that i play games on an ipad
not on the iphone so the screen is too small it's it's doable but when you have an ipad around or
even a larger screen with a mac i typically prefer that unless i have to use it so i have minecraft
and call of duty and of course geekbench if you've watched any of my videos that's why those are here
calendar is on the second page because i rarely use the calendar so i don't really look at it
i typically live by reminders more than the calendar it's just how i do things but it's
my way of doing things and of course i'm always willing to try something different there i have
the craft app which i find i keep going back to that's a note-taking app and it's a paid app if
you want more advanced features but i like the way it looks compared to notes but notes is so tightly
integrated with mac and ipad that it i go back and forth so i've been trying out the craft app and i
really like it stocks of course another apple app real racing 3 again to test performance but it got
some significant updates recently so definitely worth checking out and then insta360 is for a new
camera that i'll have a video on but that connects to it allows you to modify some of the footage or
just view it overall then i have spotify and the reason i have spotify as you can see i have music
is i've been trying it out i got a free trial to try it out again and see if it does better music
recommendations so i've been going between apple music and spotify my whole family uses apple music
it's just easy with home pods but if spotify is better i could switch to that there's some pretty
cheap deals i think three months for ten dollars or so so it was worth trying out also with free
trials and things with different samsung phones now on page three i just have a widget and a few
other apps and this is the acrylic app and this is a new app i wanted to show you just because
i think a lot of you would appreciate this it allows you to easily make different wallpapers so
i was testing this before it released now it's out and it's about two dollars or so but you can
create any wallpaper you'd like so you can set one of these points here change the wallpaper
maybe we'll change that to purple we'll change the top right to let's change it to a reddish orange
and then we can modify it by moving it around so you can make all sorts of wallpaper this way
and if you love wallpaper this may be for you you've got a lot of extra detail you can do
as well so tons of things you can change color tangent point location and so on so
lots more you can do if you want to play around with that and create your own wallpaper
now also i have in the app library everything else so you'll see here
if i scroll down i have some apps i've tried out with investments and things such as betterment
let's go back here i've been looking into things i haven't used a whole lot but if we go down you'll
see that there's a few different things so cloud barbecue for a different barbecue measuring app or
device i have and then if we scroll down even more most of these are things i use secondary
so maybe dunkin donuts when you're using that to go through and pay for something or starbucks
and let's keep going here so the files app i do use a lot i should probably put that on my main
page and then not a whole lot else tons of google apps as you can see here and some of these have to
do with different services i use so google wi-fi at times in different locations gmail google their
calendar google duo google home all of those i have so i can test them out as well and then also
if we scroll down you'll see a lot of apple apps there's some i could remove but i've been using
some of these live air traffic controller oh and there's one other that i really like plane finder
there we go plane finder it lets you see in real time where all the planes are this is a pretty
crazy app here so you can see all the different planes in the sky at any given time and it's free
to use there's a advanced features for pay but you can actually see the planes flying in in real time
their altitude and more something that i think is fascinating that it's okay for everyone to look at
but it's something that i definitely think is nice there's an airport overlook in charlotte where you
can watch planes come and go and it actually will show you where they're going to and where they're
coming from and their altitude and speed again it's fascinating that that's actually legal but
it's it's great to use if you're maybe waiting for a plane or you just want to know what's going on
and then if we go down here there's another app i thought you should definitely try if you're
into this sort of thing and that has to do with scanning a room so sitescape sitescape recently
got updated to be able to scan whole buildings if you want to so you can save portions of it
and you'll see here i'm actually testing it and sometimes and let's skip this for now it just got
updated but it allows me to scan with a point map and you'll see here it's scanning it lets
me scan that and then complete and then you can go back into that later so this is what's behind
and this was just very quick but it's actually using the lidar sensor and you can do that on an
ipad as well with lidar and you can scan any room so you can do that walk through your whole house
create a point map and measure it and more i don't have a whole lot of other apps other than utility
apps and some social networks where i just have to make sure my name's not taken things like that
so everything on my phone is pretty functional my ipad is more for fun or content creation and
then my mac is more for editing and then i have a gaming pc so usually it's more about functionality
than fun on my iphone but that's everything that i currently have on my iphone in 2022
if there's any apps you've used or you'd like to suggest i'd love to hear from you in the comments
