hey everybody david and david here from
payetteforward.com and up phone.com and
in this video we're going to tell you
about eight
ios 14 settings to turn on now right the
first one is pretty exciting it's
prevent cross-site tracking which is
going to protect your privacy as you're
using the internet david
how do we do it let's go ahead and do it
open up the settings app
we're going to do it in safari and in
chrome
sweet so we're going to scroll down to
safari
and then scroll down to prevent
cross-site tracking
turn that on prevents advertisers from
collecting information about you across
multiple websites
helps you maintain some privacy i'm
going to go back to settings maybe
you're a chrome user
as chrome's a little bit lower down in
the list there it is
and again allow cross side track and i
guess you need to turn this one
off to turn it on uh just make sure that
switch is not on
right it's a turn it off to turn it on
feature
yes next next please reduce white point
right reducing the white point means
that it's going to make your
display maybe a little bit darker but
it's also going to save your battery
life a whole lot
i think before i explain why you should
just show them all right what it's like
let's go back to settings and up to
accessibility
somewhere here where'd it go there it is
accessibility
display and text size and scroll down
to reduce white points i'm going to tap
that switch to turn it on and
as you can see in an overhead cam my
screen just got much much darker that's
too dark for me
we like to you know recommend around 50.
yeah that's where i keep it
and the reason is that the iphone screen
is so bright that sometimes i'm reading
in bed at night and it was too bright
for me
like it actually was like kind of
keeping me up even with night shift on
so
by doing this i can still see my phone
just fine during the day
but at night it doesn't hurt my eyes and
it saves battery life
it's a good idea yeah i'm actually going
to turn it off just for the video so
you can actually see my screen in the
overhead cam the next
setting to turn on now is wi-fi calling
okay wi-fi calling allows you to make
calls over your wi-fi connection
to the internet as opposed to the
cellular voice connection or cellular
data connection
and it's great for times when you have
wi-fi service but you don't maybe have
great cell phone service
so it used to be people had to buy these
wireless extenders from their carriers
and they put them in their house and
connect them to the wi-fi and then
they'd have a good signal at home
now all you have to do is flip a switch
if you have signal issues at home and a
lot of people do
this will make your life better yes so
i'm gonna go back
to the main page of settings and tap on
phone tap on wi-fi calling as you can
see it is already on just make sure that
switch next to wi-fi calling on this
iphone
is turned on right pretty cool add wi-fi
calling for other devices pretty neat
you could add it for your ipad your mac
next let's talk about optimized battery
charging
optimize battery charging addresses an
issue that happened a couple of years
ago
where apple was caught slowing down
people's iphones because they were
losing capacity that was their reason
for it
yeah go ahead well there's a class
action lawsuit right now you can be a
part of right yeah apple settled that
one real quick
lithium-ion batteries do really well up
to a certain percentage but then if you
keep charging them up to 100
that's how they start to lose capacity
yep so let's go back to the main page of
settings
scroll to battery and then
tap on battery health turn on that
switch next to optimize battery charging
to reduce battery agent your iphone
learns from your daily charging routine
so it can wait to finish charging past
80 until you need to use it next let's
talk about a brand new feature and that
is exposure
notifications exposure notifications
were developed
by apple and google together for and 19
contact tracing
they're designed to augment the efforts
of your local health agency or your
local health authority
for instance in new york state it's not
available yet because the health
authorities have to opt into this
feature
also there might be some privacy
concerns that you have
there really is nothing to worry about
with these exposure notifications and
the reason
isn't because they're just nice guys
it's because they're trying to prove
apple and google is trying to prove to
you that they can be trusted with your
personal health data they are not going
to screw this up
trust me but watch our other video about
how this all works
and it's pretty fascinating what they've
done it's good stuff yep so let's go
back to the main page of the settings
app once again
and scroll i guess it's one up exposure
notifications right there
turn on exposure notifications you'll
see this
little summary of what's going on you
tap continue enter your country
and then state for us unfortunately new
york doesn't have this app yet but if
you live in one of the few states that
actually has the app it'll
show you how to install the app and get
that set up next we're going to talk
about low
data mode so let's go back to the main
page of the settings app once again and
scroll
up to cellular tap on cellular data
options at the top of the screen and
here you'll see the switch for low data
mode low data mode helps reduce wi-fi
and cellular
data usage when load data mode is turned
on automatic updates and background
tasks such as photo
syncing are paused tap a switch turn it
on
so this is low data mode for cellular
data which is what i recommend turning
on you can also turn on low data mode
for wi-fi networks individually
but i don't think that's necessary
especially because you've got a good
signal at home
your iphone isn't going to put out a
whole bunch of extra battery power
trying to download stuff
david let's move on yeah let's talk
about text message
forwarding you can send the text that
you get on your iphone to your other
devices your ipad your mac i actually
turned this on this morning because i
realized i didn't have it on and
i'm getting text on my mac now and it's
good i like responding to text from my
mac and saying something is have my
iphone with me all the time
yeah and i can type a lot faster on my
mac than i can on my iphone yep so let's
go
back to the main page of the settings
app and scroll down to
messages tap on text message
forwarding and then just turn on the
switch next to the devices you'd like to
receive text on yeah i turn it on for
all my devices
gotta be careful you know if somebody
else is using it they're gonna be able
to see your text but
i don't share my devices with anybody
yeah selfish you stay away from me
yeah it's my ipad the last setting we
want to talk about
is preserve camera mode i like this
feature
especially because most people don't
know what live photos are and they end
up leading them on or it's the default
so live photos are actually like little
video files if you've ever gotten a
photo from somebody in the messages app
and it moves just like a little bit
they're designed for taking these
action shots i really don't like live
photos at all i don't get stupid
but anyway these these photos are giant
they're huge because it's like taking a
burst of photos
it takes i think a second and a half uh
before and after and then you can pick
any photo in between but people don't
know that they're doing that
so frequently i'll get a live photo and
a text message of like a piece of paper
or something that really should just be
a regular photo
but then that thing is 20 megabytes is
this a ploy by apple to sell more
icloud storage possibly by inflating the
amount of size that the photos are
maybe anyway so like what this setting
is going to do is it's going to allow
you to set your camera
turn off live photos whatever other
settings you want to turn on and then
the next time you go to open the camera
app
it has it all reset back to the main you
know live photos yeah or maybe you're
somebody uses your phone to take a lot
of videos you don't want to switch to
video every single time
yeah so let's go back to the main page
of the settings app
scroll down to camera tap on preserve
settings
and just make sure that switch next to
camera mode
is turned on right i've also got the
switch next to live photo setting
i'm sure that's turned on too yeah live
photo is the
one to turn on i mean maybe these are
two separate settings and i was just
wrong with what i just said but still
i don't care if it's eight and a half
settings to turn on now turn both of
those on
and if you can only choose one because
you're like i'm only going to turn on
eight settings
choose live photos and stop sending
those stupid live photos to people
if you want to learn about some ios 14
settings to turn off
check out the video in the card above
and the description section below
overall it will be changing you know
20 settings and you'll be ready to go
with ios 14.
that's gonna be coming out relatively
soon we're using the beta
right apple event september 15th yes

going to announce a new iphone though

rumor anyway
