Hello… i have a query .. my iphone is showing green light in the island continuously. It is just not turning off? Is it something to worry…
So is the white dot on the left from your other video still tracking ? I was getting it but it seemed to disappear when I restarted my phone.
Does anyone know of a feature that you can add a counter when you are live streaming to show when viewers leave?
Very very helpful. BUT, stop gesturing with the hands. Your hands are pointers now. Not an assist to your voice at this time. Either be a public speaker OR a demonstrator. Thanks.
I just wanted to counter Bruce’s comment above mine. Humans have universal languages with one another through all 5 senses. Personally I rely on facial expressions, body language, pitch and tone, captions, and hand movements. Huge thank you to these guys for their non intimidating videos, you reach and help the people that tend to be the most vulnerable and targeted individuals, teach them as if you were to teach 8 year olds. Thank you guys!!!
This is the 2nd video I’ve watched and did everything you said. It took awhile but it is worth it! Thank you for helping us out
Thank you for this useful information!
Thank you for simplifying tech. Your videos are clear and concise. Great teamwork.
You guys are the BEST! Excellent presentations, always.
Excellent content! Informative and clear direction!!
You guys are real professionals. Very useful guidance
David - No the other David…..Excellent video, videography and especially the information for us iphone users! Thank You! Hope you both have a GREAT year in 2023!
I just love you two. Your videos are top notch. Thank you!
Very useful and straight to the point ty
Wow! This was so useful and educational.
Excellent information! Thank you so much! 🙏
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. All of your videos they are so helpful. Keep up the good work.
The video I didn’t know I needed 😂 👏🏻
Love your instructional style … clear, concise, visual, and the “why” explanation. So good. Thx!
The companies download recordings of your phone calls, your text messages, your comments online, and your data from google drive. If you have to give your phone number to your workplace your data is compromised. There is nothing you can do about it until it’s made illegal and people actually follow the law.
Wowee….great stuff! You both Over-Delivered on this video! 👍🏻
Thx for the info 🙏🏻🥰
Very helpful and answered a lot of my concerning question, please keep this content updated!! 🙏
Need updated for iOS 16
Great job guys learned a lot by watching this video. Thanks again
Thanks guys!! This really helped a lot been some creepy things going on and this definitely helped ❤❤
Thanks so much for this!!!!
TYSM! Was suspecting of a specific friend tracking me first clues were a couple times knowing where I’ve been even when I denied it. This is the 3rd time experiencing this with this specific person so I finally looked into it and surprise the whole time I’ve been being played for a fool. Be careful who you call your friends
Thanks for sharing
Thanks guys, excellent video 👍
Thanks for sharing 😊
THANK YOU ! 1984 was supposed to be a warning not an instruction manual ... In solidarity with the fighters for peace, love, freedom, justice and truth, we express our feelings with music on our channel. Greetings from Germany, CLUB OF THE UNCENSORED POETS

This is just great! Thank you
Thank you for the information
This is super important for safety, specially with elders, who has small or no tech knowledge, and constantly opens spam mail or messages, or answers known callers
Had to educate 1 of my elders about that
@@8731Cordova yes, and I should correct, when they constantly answer unknown callers.... my bad!
@@MACBoricua also the emails, My cell phone was getting 5 to 10 “Scam likely” calls a day till I started blocking the numbers
I still let people track me. Not like they are gonna find me

Hi! Really love you guys! Thanks for all you do! Can you please do a video on Pegasus and how to use MVT to disable or find pegasus on your phone please? I've has several weird things happening in the past few months like interferences on certain phone calls, copied texts of legitimate texts or notifications from digital banking apps. How do i get rid of this software on my phone?? How can I trust a usb memory card or a cloud storage option to backup phones?
These guys are awesome. Thank you
Great video. Thank you.
You guys are great. I value so much your information. Is there a way that you can go slower and maybe repeat as a walk through. Maybe break your videos in two or three? The amount of info is overwhelming
You folks are very informative and you make complicated topics easy to understand. Thank you and be blessed
no they are liars
@@mathiaschaluphello 🐸
thanks guys. very useful tips.
Thanks a lot for this video. I did not know there was so much options in the settings etc.
Thank you so very much for this video. I am glad to watch it. I found out that the ex has been watching every move I make. Wherever I went, she knew about it. But now, she no longer knows my whereabouts. Thank you again.
Need this for android please!
Amazing presentation! Love your work!
Because of this wealth of information of course I will subscribe. Thank You!
Thanks so much so helpful❤
Thanks Guys! This is awesome! You rock! Keeping us safe! ❤🙏
I SAID THEY ARE FAKE
Thanks easy to follow information
Hello, Thank You For Reminding Us
Very nice work , thank you
What if you suspect a former online relationship is following you or tapping into your phone especially from apps like WhatsApp and Tagged?
You have to do one for older people because I couldn’t keep up
Thank you for d tips
Thanks for the help
Is it possible for you guys do a video about Apple Maps vs Google Maps? The way you guys present information is great and it would be helpful to get a clearcut answer as to why one would be better than the other. Thanks!
Apple maps always gives wrong direction or some that take way longer than it should. Google maps>>>>>
Google maps is way better!!
What about Waze?
Several extended tests have shown that G maps is not as good anymore. Apple Maps (and probably others) was faster anytime. Too many people are using G maps. All are trying to avoid a traffic jam and forming a new one on the detour. 😂
@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ Amen. But also, which maps app do you use?
I’ve been finding you guys so very useful for a long time and always take your advice. For the first time I seriously regret doing so as following instructions on this video has totally wiped everything from my iPad (and none of it’s in iCloud because of my lack of trust). So I’ve lost all my iPad apps, many years of photos, one completed novel and one nearly completed novel, 60-odd short stories, the list goes on. All because of a “find my iPhone” instruction.! I haven’t backed up either my phone or iPad on my computer for a couple of years because of poor internet reception in rural Australia. I feel sick and having trouble even tapping this out on my small iPhone.
Omg that is so gutting, it happened to me too, I was trying to copy photos onto my SD card to free up space in internal storage and it then said there’s 2 copys of things do you wanna delete the copies, I said yes and it deleted EVERYTHING! years of photos gone… I cried I was gutted 😢😭
Too late, maybe, for you two, but a delete, single, or Massive, WITHOUT ANY further use of device, can be MOSTLY found and restored by use of sophisticated external devices and software. Any use of iPhone or iPads, etc., would likely overwrite memory spaces that were JUST flagged as AVAILABLE (erased, digitally speaking). The Payette Forward guys can say more on this, and might have already. (Look for “Recovering Accidentally erased Files”?)
Out here saving lives ❤
It’s 1 year later so you guys will never see this, but thank you for this info!! After clicking thru trying to follow you, I realized there is way too much extra crap involved with these iPhones I never knew about… Luckily, I can hit replay to get thru all the steps to shut off certain things, as well as see things that were already shut off.. Thank you!!!
Mind blowing, must watch 10 times to let it soak in. :)
yeah, wasting 125 MINUTES ON A COMPLETE FAKE VIDEO!
Who can keep up with these guys?, they should do one "TOPIC" at a time, we are not wizards!
Maybe you guys can go a bit slower for us older adults.
Thank you for saying this 🙏 ❤
If you are in UTube you can tap the little gear icon (far upper right of video)and select playback speed (FYI - speeds located above the “normal” speed are slower). This allows you to slow down the playback speed. You will need to change it back to the normal speed before closing, otherwise other videos will be at the slower speed.
You can adjust the playback speed by hitting the ship wheel icon in the top right hand corner
just pause and rewind video…..
Yes. I agree.
Thank you so much 🙏
Thankyou so much for all people have a wonderful heart willing to help our people in our community god blessed you all Amen
These are great pointers, but I will never sign up for two-factor authentication. It caused me a whole bunch of trouble and getting it turned off was another monster headache.
Per Rob Braxman here on YT, 2FA ties all your devices together to confirm your identity. Thus your identity is tied to your phone. The "accept" TOS grants data and location information from all devices sharing involved in the application.
I got dizzy from so much information at once. I LOVE IT.
Too much , TOO FAST!!
Good info fellas!
thank you so much. I couldnt think of why it was so faded. You are a tech wizard..
Thanks!
Good advices n teachings thnx n Gbu
Get to you later
@@elizabritton4039 oh yeah? Who would that be donkey?
@@repentandbelieveinJesusChrist4Christianity is false 😂
Love you guys! I learned a lot without calling Apple support constantly and having them take over my screen each time. Thank you /😅 11:00
Very useful guys. Thanks 🙏 I was expecting it just to do 15 items it seems to have gone to more than that.
Amazing info as always. Thank you!
Could you please let us know of what we should leave ON under Settings, Safari, Advanced, Experimental Features? - i ve turned all of mine off…
That's a topic for a future video, for sure! There's so much in there. We'll get crackin'!
R.I.P. iPhone settings.
Use a flip phone
@@c0rruptreality or Firefox
You guys do us all such a great service.
Good information, but no one can absorb that much that quick. I would love to see it presented as a teaching, not just a presentation.
Copy the transcript
Thank you ❤
Great video guys
Can you do a "same" video for Androids please? I believe a certain someone may be spying on my conversations. Thank you!
I was just going to ask that as well!!! Please please please please! 😘
Those fools at Google track you everywhere. Way more than Apple does. Any little app you install from them they’re tracking you with the quickness. I try not to install any of their apps on my phone and go deep inside their settings if I do.
So does Apple. And nothing you do stops it. As long as they can ping your signal off their towers. They can find you etcetera. You want to not be tracked by a device? Power it off and leave it somewhere you are not. That is the only way 99.99999.....% could do it.
What evidence do you have Google tracks people? Or even a Google app does?
@@davepirtle9790 are you serious?
@@davepirtle9790he/she is right, google steals your info more than you know
I had delete serval location history’s On Google
very helpfull you both guys long live
Great video with so much I wish I had seen prior to now. I will go back and review coverage of it all. Keep helping us and God will bless you.🎉✝️🙏🏾🥰
I have an issue with #10. I got only a few selected location services on but from time to time I’ll notice the tracking icon is on and it only says location services. I only have find my, share location and emergency calls. It’s driving me crazy.
Did you buy a used phone?
So, what do you do when you found out on your Android Samsung is being tracked by KZhead? 🤷♀️
Nice, really nice video guys. Thank you of course. Thumbs up. 😅
You guys are great
I not only have strict settings, I use an Ad Blocker, Norton, LifeLock, keep my phone updated, and I only use certain apps. If I miss out with friends because of it.. they know to call me. I don’t use social media period.
You're using KZhead.
@@jaydenleckpa8381 Really? You can’t understand the logic of my comment? Go get educated.
@@dwjunior you said you don't use social media, isn't KZhead social media?
@@jaydenleckpa8381 If you can’t understand my first comment then I have nor the time or inclination to debate this with you.
@@dwjunior Okay then.
#15 I do not have a option at all for text message forwarding. I’ve looked everywhere and it’s not under settings > messages. I’m stumped why I don’t have this option to turn off on an IPhone 13 Pro Max with updated software iOS 16.2.
I also don’t have a call forwarding option under settings >phone. I’ve watched this tutorial over and over and I’m not understanding why I don’t have these options?
I don’t either
Thank you!
I knew you guys were uploading this video >=]
If I go to Settings, Cellular and look at the Apps that use Cellular, I see all the apps that have used Cellular data. The problem is some of these apps, I don't use. So why do these apps need cellular data?
Notifications from those apps maybe?
Delete them
Might be using data to refresh the content in the app or you might be getting tracked just depends on if you have notifications turned on
You guys have been an immense help to me and my sister. We are both in our 60’sand because of your content we’ve been able to secure our iPhones from trackers and scammers. Now I just removed my living room Hp device from Apple ID. It was a mistake. How do I put it back so as to have it connected to my Apple ID. I need help🙏🏼
Log in to your apple id from your hp laptop 😄
Many thanks, guys. Very valuable information.
My iphone 11 menus do not look anything like the what you are showing.
I think you need to update your iOS.
the NSA can track any iPhone or Android phone even if you turn it off
thanks helped a lot
THANK YOU, A LOT! I SOMETIMES SEE THAT ON MY IPHONE! Thanks to you two!! ❤ straight up savages!
My husband got a notification the other day that a tile was tracking him.
We all know who put that tile there
He was on golf cart. I’m not sure I know what that reply meant
@@djd1269 , it could be if the golf cart not owned by him, the owners are able to track the cart.
@@elizabritton4039 it’s our personal cart, but I did disable the tracking.
@@djd1269 , wow, that’s crazy. I’m glad u could disable it.
Thanks this helped❤
I got a better idea buy a non spy version or get a flip phone.
Better not to have a phone.
Thank you so much
Thanks fellas!
Ugh, this boomer can’t keep up!
Use your pause button.
@@mzunnurain I did. 👍
Shouldn't have to !!!
Excellent information for the average users such as myself
