- IPad iOS 15 is out.
Here are some settings you should turn on immediately.
We'll start with a couple of brand new settings,
open the settings app.
- Okay.
A little gear icon in the dock for me.
- Let's tap on mail.
- Okay. I'm gonna scroll down to mail.
Tap on that.
- Then tap on privacy protection.
- Okay.
- Make sure this switch is on.
It is on it is on by default,
but you wanna make sure it's on.
- Right, and so, what it does is there are companies that,
pretty much every company that's a big company,
tracks whether you open emails
and whether you click on certain links
and then they send you more personalized emails
and you have no idea this is going on.
What this does is a convoluted technical process,
and then they can't track you anymore.
So it's kind of a personal privacy thing.
- Next let's tap on privacy.
- Okay. Privacy on the left.
- And then tap on record app activity.
Turn this switch on.
Now this is still in the works.
- Right.
- You want to switch on because it'll send you
an activity report of which apps are doing what
and it's going to be revealing, I think.
- Yeah, it's gonna show which websites and other apps,
the apps that you use, are contacting in the background
as you use them and therefore show you
how they're tracking you.
As David said, report's not out yet, but it's a good idea.
This doesn't go to Apple, this stays right on your iPad.
- Yep. There is a preview on Apple's website,
we'll link that below.
If you like these two new settings,
give this video a thumbs up and let's keep moving.
- Yeah, I feel like these two guys, two settings.
- While we're in privacy, let's tap back.
Then tap on location services -
- all the way at the top.
- and then scroll all the way down.
Tap on system services.
- All right.
- And let's talk about that status bar icon.
- I like this one just because, let me tap on it right now.
It gives you a little status bar icon right there
in the upper right-hand corner of the screen,
which is a good indicator
of when your iPad is using your location and therefore,
if it's on all the time,
it could be a good indicator of battery problems
because location services equals battery drain period.
End of story.
- Yeah.
- But not end of video!
- Next, let's talk about a new music setting.
Tap on music on the left.
- All right. I'm going to scroll down.
If you don't mind to then tap on music on the left.
I love this setting. I'm excited about it.
- Let's tap on audio quality.
- Boom.
- Turn on that switch.
- That's great, finally!
CDs were invented in 1979.
Now, this switch is getting us back to CD quality.
(sounds of agreement)
- Yeah.
Okay, did CDs come out?
- 1979.
- We've been listening to compressed garbage
for the last 25 years and gotten used to it!
20 years, really.
When the iPad came out, or iPod, iPod came out,
I had a third gen iPod because we needed to fit
a lot of songs onto these tiny little devices
and we sacrificed a lot of quality.
The difference now is amazing.
So once you turn this on,
you get a couple of different options:
Wifi streaming.
I recommend making it hi-res lossless,
as long as you some cool thing
that can actually play hi-res lossless audio.
I'm just going to say yes.
It also will work, even if you don't have a cool thing,
like a digital audio converter or anything
that we're not going to talk about in this video.
But I do, so I like it on.
Then, tap back to audio quality downloads.
I choose lossless because it's a good in-between
between high quality and,
which just like the old crappy compressed audio,
I think that they could have called it
old crappy, compressed quality.
- They call it high quality,
it's actually the lowest quality. It's interesting.
- Right, it is.
- Sneaky.
- Sneaky. Yep. So, yeah, go ahead.
- Turn this on next - we're going to Safari.
- Okay. Safari, on the left side,
right under FaceTime, tap on that.
- Yep. So, the first thing we're going to tap on
is close tabs. Right now you have it set to manually.
- I'm just going to scroll up a little bit.
- That's fine.
- Manually - tap on that.
- A lot of people, myself included, are tab hoarders.
We leave open dozens, sometimes hundreds of tabs
that we don't need a lot of the time.
It's the same website over and over and over and over again.
- Right.
- If you want those tabs to close automatically -
- I'm just going to go to safari real quick,
just in case people don't know.
if they have tabs open, you can just go to Safari,
and it's the four boxes
in the upper right-hand corner of the screen.
It says they have one tab,
but you may see that you have lots and lots of tabs.
Sorry. More tabs than a -
- More tabs.
- More tabs than a Hendrix concert in the sixties.
- Alright, so if we go back to settings.
- I'm just going to swipe up from the bottom of the screen,
hold my finger in the middle and let go.
And then I can tap on settings.
- So I like to set this to after one month.
I mean, these are the tabs
that I'm never going to see again.
- There're the old tabs -
- Old tabs -
- They're the mail that's buried under the -
- you're not going to miss them, you know,
you don't need them, let them go.
- Right. Let it go.
♪ Let it go ♪
- So let's go back to Safari,
one more setting we want to talk about here.
- Gonna tap back to Safari.
- Prevent cross-site tracking, turn that switch right on.
- Yes.
Do you want websites to be able to track you
as you go to other websites
so that they can deliver you relevant advertising?
- Cuts down on the information collected about you -
- Yeah, I just do, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Don't do it. Sorry for saying Bababababa.
People used to say that I interrupted David all the time.
I only do it most of the time.
- Turn that switch on, then go to App Store,
And while you, do hit that subscribe button
right below this video, we'd really appreciate it.
- We really do, it means a lot.
You could be one of the first million subscribers.
- You could.
It's exclusive -
- Exclusive -
- It's going to be an exclusive club one day
- Yeah, it will, after we learn how to say exclusive.
- Exclusive,
- Exclusive.
- Turn on the switch next to offload unused apps.
- Boom.
- This will help you free up some storage space
on your iPad of those apps that you don't use.
Especially if you have automatic downloads
for apps turned on here.
When your iPhone downloads an app,
it gets downloaded on your iPad, too.
- Nightmare.
- Nightmare, fills up, and...
- Yeah. this is a turn-on video,
but turn off apps and turn on app updates
so that you don't have to go to the App Store,
your apps don't get updated.
Outdated apps are buggy apps,
but then turning this one off will save your mind.
Everybody who gets an iPad
learns that lesson the hard way.
Save yourself.
- L-E-A-R-
- Offloading unused apps
doesn't delete any documents or data
so you guys can just go back, open it up up again.
- Yeah. Yeah.
It automatically downloads very easy.
It's a good alternative to deleting the app completely.
- All right.
Next, let's go to accessibility settings
and tap on display and text size.
- Alright. Accessibility under home screen and dock,
and then I'm going to tap on
display and tech size on the right.
- Yep. So let's talk about reduce white point.
- All right.
I'm going to turn on and reduce white point
and we're going to see that the white point, it gets darker.
- This can make your iPad's display darker.
- So, I mean, why would you turn this on?
It's going to save battery life, but who cares?
If you can't see your iPad, then that's a problem.
For me, I like to use my iPad sometimes in bed, to read.
And the screen is actually very bright
on the lowest brightness.
So what this does, I usually back it down to 50%.
It's dark right here,
but you can still use the brightness slider
and get it really bright.
So it kind of re-calibrates the brightness slider in a way,
where the brightest is not quite as bright,
but it gives you the ability to,
let's say you're using your phone
in a movie theater, your iPad - don't do that.
But if you did, this would be helpful.
- Let's tap back to accessibility and then tap on motion.
- All right, motion.
- Reduce motion will cut down on some of the animations
on your iPad screen.
It'll save some battery life.
And I think you will get used to
these animals pretty quickly.
- Of course.
Well, now if I go back to the home screen -
- Well, that was sneaky.
- Okay, but did you notice how it didn't do a fancy thing
and just kind of faded to the home screen?
It's, a lot of people prefer this actually,
and it saves some battery life.
- Save some -
- This is a little one,
it's gonna save you a little bit of battery life.
A little bit.
- Let's go to the camera section of the settings app.
- Okay. Scroll down on the left-hand side
until you run into camera.
Tap on that.
- Yep, and then tap on preserve settings.
- Okay, tap on preserved settings.
- Preserve camera mode and live photo.
- Okay. Live photos are these little videos.
My friend Dan has a beautiful baby.
He takes these live photos all the time,
which ended up being these giant little video files.
I don't think he knows he has life photo turned on,
but, turn it on.
That means that every time you open the camera app,
if this is on and you've turned off live photo previously,
it'll stay off.
- Yep.
- Otherwise it turns back on by default.
I wonder, is Apple trying to get you to use more data?
Maybe you'd have to buy more iCloud storage space.
I don't know. Camera mode is more of a convenience thing.
If you take a lot of videos or something or you like
portrait mode or whatever you have on this thing, square,
it won't just reset to photo every time.
I like the setting.
This is an important little section here
because it saves some headaches.
- Good stuff. Let's tap on passwords next.
- Okay. Touch ID to view saved password.
- We're not going to show you all of his passwords,
what we are going to do is
make sure this switch next to auto-fill passwords is on.
It's a real pain when you don't know your passwords
and, you know, you have to grab your Mac
and enter your Mac password -
- Call your son -
- call your son and say -
- What's my password?
- What's my password for this?
- Yeah.
- Just turn this on and it will autofill your passwords,
Especially if you use Chrome a lot,
you can fill in from Chrome, it's really great.
- Yup. So make sure that's on.
- Save. Some. Time.
- Get the heck outta here.
- Let's go to pencil gestures
in the pencil section of the settings app.
- O-kay. Wow, curve ball.
- Curve ball.
- Where did I put the pencil? It's probably on the floor.
Here it is!
I'm gonna use the pencil to go to pencil gestures. Okay.
Apple pencil. Tap.
- And then pencil gesture.
So you have a left corner swipe and right corner swipe.
I think the quick notes is pretty convenient.
We take a lot of screenshots too.
Like, I take a lot of iPad screenshots,
and that left corner swipe
for the screenshot is convenient, too.
- Right. We sure do!
