That moment you started watching out of curiosity… then realised you needed to start taking notes
EXACTLY!!
ikr
My thoughts!
Right like hold up did I miss a step let me ⏪ real quick🤣
I paused it and checked after each 😁
Best fix is turn off iphone all together, then all privacy issues are fixed forever
🤭
You'd need to live in the woods, never get near anyone with a phone, and have no internet in your house to truly be private.
That’s satire 😂
@@tenslein8977 And STILL your 3rd cousin twice removed's 23 and Me DNA will be used to identify you as the Zodiac killer lol
Wooow !!
The only one I wasn’t sure about turning off was Significant Locations in System Services. Wish they would have elaborated a bit more on that one.
Watching, pausing to go to settings, watching, pausing to go to settings, watching, pausing to go to settings! 😃 Thanks for such an informational-straight to the point video!
Don’t know I found this but glad I did. I had every single one of these on with no idea they were there or what they did. For me it really explained how things popped up and I had not even searched for it. Thank you..
Same
Yeah, I had them all on when I first got my new phone last December. Then, I watched another video, and turned some stuff off. So, all this time, I've had other things on and tonight watching this, I turned even more off. Learn something new everyday.
It’s called algorithm… it’s “tracking you”. Oh the irony that the tracking sent you to the video that told you to stop the tracking.
@@jamespeterson9620 lol facts though
@@jamespeterson9620 If you turn off too much on Androids it literally makes the phone unusable. I have a felling even if you turn it all 'off' it's still on, somehow. They may stop sending 'targeted ads' to make one have a sense of 'privacy' but it's an illusion.
10:48 Dear Blonde guy, I don't feel like you're interrupting. Both of you talking simultaneously portrays enthusiasm and the energy is good. Keep it up!
Yep, agreed, Blonde Guy. You should meet my family ... interrupting each other like there's no tomorrow.
Agreed
Thank you so much! That's the nicest thing I've heard all day. 😀 - Blonde guy
Blonde guy is cool
and brown guy is cool too
The way you give directions is so easy to follow. I watch on my iPad, pause the video to make corrections on my iPhone, then continue the video. This has helped me so much. I like your style.
I’m sharing you with ALL my family. The thing I like most about you guys is you talk slow enough to be understood. You do not race. Thank you.
I’m honestly quite proud of myself : I had all but one option off. I don’t know how but I did 😅 Thanks guys for the check !
Battery life of apple does this to people
Same I only had a couple options left on, I felt so accomplished
Me too
I like how some apps try to get you to say yes to tracking by saying “no, I would prefer to see less relevant ads” because it’s trying to say “are you sure, do you really want to see ads that aren’t right for you.”
The cellular data switches are there propably for customer in countries like here in Finland, where we actually do have an unlimited data plans with full speed all the way. So for example I keep all those toggles on as it doesn’t affect my phone bills or anything any way and I can sync all files instantly everywhere 😊
This was truly helpful. I paused the video and made my changes along the way. You guys were very clear and easy to follow. Thanks so much for sharing.
Thanks… Doin the Same!
Me too!
Same lol
same!
Same!
As someone in the cyber sec/info sec field, I can’t thank you guys enough for posting videos about all these great tips for privacy.
“Preload top hit” - Nearly every search I do loads an “Ad” as the top hit, even when it’s the store/website I asked for. Does that mean it’s preloading all those Ads also?
Actually loved the haptic feedback when typing. It's the closest we could get to "mechanically typing" on a touchscreen
Recently bought an iPhone 12 after my 8plus was destroyed by a repair shop. 😩. New Phone was running slow and taking minutes to load. Watched your video and took your advice and presto….an iPhone that works at lightning speed. Bravo to you two.
Shutting off system customization in system services also makes it so your night shift doesn’t turn on and off automatically. I just kept that one on.
Having recently switched from being Android-only to an iPhone, this was pretty helpful. Was pretty lost even trying to navigate thru stuff, and sadly when buying the new iPhone, the guy working in the store said "Sorry, there's no on-hand demos due to Covid, but hey, just KZhead some stuff."
Awesome tips and tricks especially the reminder that installing Updates resets a lot of fields so SAVE the page. For those who didn’t see it, an outline (with times) is available on the right side of the screen. Maybe just in horizontal mode on an iPad. Thanks a lot!
Oh yeah, great reminder. Thank you, I missed that!
Thank you guys! I am devotedly removing lots of privacy & other settings from my iPhone 11. I trust your advice in saving battery life as well as my privacy. I obviously subscribed. Thanks from Milan, Italy. You two are the best❤️
Thanks for making this video. It could be more visual for audience to know the benefits of turning off these settings if there is a comparison of standby time with those settings on/off.
I just bought an iPhone 13 and had a lot of features already turned off but David & David really show settings you need to turn off and give a screen shot of every change. Very Helpful! Really useful info that they explain in a clear and concise way.
Finally, FINAlly!, FINALLY!!!. 2 people who actually know what they are talking about. I just bought a brand new iphone 14 pro max 3 weeks ago and im big on battery life, so I went to youtube and google and not one! single thread or video is out there that even comes anywhere close to you guys. And if they would tell me to turn off a setting they couldn’t even tell me the reason why “this setting” should be turned off. With you guys I had to pause the video 100 times just to keep up. My battery was going from 100% too 10% in 2 days with average use watching other videos. With you guys, its been 2 days and my battery went from 100% to 85% with the same average use. Thanks so much Payette Forward!! Definitely is worth subscribing to your guys’ channel 🎉
So glad I saw this video, that ‘ask apps not to track’ was bugging me all the time, I never allowed them
When a 13 min video becomes 30 minutes because you are “doing the steps” as the Daves are telling them -less I forget 😜
Lest you forget.
😂😂
Turned to 30 minutes to me from all the unskippable ads on the video
That’s how I did it. Step by step as he was talk
m 😂😂😂😂😂
Recently got my first ever iphone and this has been a HUGE help for me. Im basically learning as i go. Definitely not android user friendly. Cheers for the tips guys
Thanks so much, your videos are clear and concise. As a senior owner of my first iphone, no one takes the time to explain in detail the importance of battery life, apps, etc. etc. Keep up the excellent work. You've made this senior a happy one, didn't need to attend classroom instruction!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m so glad that I came across to your channel. I love the iPhones for many years and until the iPhone 8; then I got the iPhone 12 as a Christmas gift from my husband and I believe that I was doing ok with the new features until this latest update and last month I travel for the weekend and started to noticed that my battery wouldn’t last like it did before and thanks to this video I turned off a lot of settings off and at the same time I got a better understanding of the features.Thank you!
📱Check out our NEW version of this video, updated for iOS 16: kzhead.info/sun/h7Wyh5Smgn2wlGw/bejne.html
Will the blond haired guy please keep interrupting the dark haired guy 😃👍
Your bank app is probably using location data for the same as mine. If your phone is in one location and your debit/credit card through them is used elsewhere they can use this data to detect fraudulent charges. I have multiple banking apps but as far as I know only my credit union does this or has notified me that they are doing this.
@@hodaka1000 ok
To comeback about the Location Services. Should I turn Off Mobile Network Search? That one wasn’t shown on your iPhone / video.
Any tips on stopping spam text messages?
Gonna go through all of these on my wife's iPhone SE. Her battery has definitely gotten worse. Thank you! By the way, Apple Maps have been proven to be the most accurate map data and I've confirmed that in my area. I also like the voice guidance experience the best
Got an iPhone 6s off eBay real cheap I’m multitasking with the apps so far it’s working thanks for iOS 15 system update
Dear David & David, Thank you from a Tech challenged 66 year old. I found your video easy to understand and follow. altho I had to pause it many times to catch up. I am very grateful for this video and I will be sharing it with my friends ...
I was trying to find how to change icons through shortcuts and found this video by chance after the update. Thank you so much this was a video I never knew I needed 🙏🏻
I live in a very rural setting without WiFi. This is a situation where I must leave the ‘Use Cellular Data” on. I would love to see a video targeted to people in my situation. There are lots of us across the country, and we are often not considered in the digital world. This was really helpful. Thanks 😊
You don't need a video devoted to you, just leave it on ~
I was really struggling with battery life on my SE after upgrading to 15. I followed the advice on this vid and now its right back up there. I'm delighted not to have to buy a new phone. Thanks guys. Really helpful;.
I have noticed that you have slowed down and that is extremely helpful. I do not allow automatic updates on my phone because I’m afraid I would have to go through my phone and redo all of this. I am really tired of them messing with us. You two are the best!
Many of these settings I already had turned off such as “personalized ads” but I’ve still had very personal ads for a long time. I’m guessing there’s other hidden things that we can’t actually turn off and access 🤔
Vpn
You’re not only tracked on your phone. I’d check your browser
Even better, most companies try very innovative ways to still generate and link data together. Settings like these do have some effect but certainly are not the whole picture. There is mechanisms like lookalikes, re-targeting, matching anonymous audiences with known audiences based on hashed personalized data .. and the list goes on. Companies do not respect your privacy and the law is not able to keep up with the innovative ways to workaround existing laws. Apple is no hero in shining armor here just because like facebook they try to create app campaigns that give you the illusion you have any control over your privacy and data. (If your country even has anything like proper data privacy laws in place)
A company can still track what you do within their system. So facebook or amazon can still build a profile of you based off of your activity within their site, they just can’t as easily follow you across the rest of the internet
The tyranny of metadata - with enough information, they don't have to know who you are to know who you are
That was a brilliant informative video. clearly guided me through the settings and cleverly explained why i don't need them. top men
Just found your site . I joined. You are going a little to fast. Had a hard time keeping up. Had to keep repeating it. You might want to show screen a bit bigger so we can make sure we are in correct screen. I'm 65 not 25. I loved all the info. Your going to be a great help to me. Thanks for what your doing.
wow. WOW. I never go to tech sites or solves - ever. But my new iphone 12 mini won't connect via bluetooth so I was on a personal mission after spending hours on the phone with Apple chat and calls - which didn't fix it. While you weren't about this issue, I came across your channel during my hunt and am SO glad I did. What a user friendly explanation of many practical things about my phone that I could actually do myself with your instruction. I'm a permanent subscriber now. Thanks.
Thanks for the great tips! Most people don’t know all of what goes on in the background and hate how their phone runs down faster on each OS update.
You mean slower?
@@Monarch9704 No, Battery runs down faster.
@@lymancopps5957 I knew I wasn’t the only one who felt that. Battery life sucks after the updates ;(
Yeah-my battery doesn’t even last a day anymore and I don’t use my phone all that much!
The greed is breathtaking. Early phones one could just buy a new battery. Now we need to buy a whole new phone. The cobalt needed for phone batteries is mined by the poorest of the poor in the Congo and Zambia. We need to be far more aware and speak up.
I watch you guys for tips. I wanted to let you know that, yes, there are still those of us who live rurally that do not have internet, cellular only. So it is super important that Apple allow updates and backups over cellular as an option no matter how much data it takes.
From no 1-15 I diligently followed u guys by pursing and going to settings..love from Africa
I enjoyed the video but it takes me twice as long to watch it and I keep having to go back to see your display and what you’re talking about. Can you slow down a little bit? I use your channel for all my updates. Thanks so much.
Thanks for the tips. I moved from an android to a iPhone 12 a few months ago and I spend a lot more cellular data even though my usage remained the same as before the switch. Maybe these tips will help me reduce that. Thank you :)
I thank you guys. You were probably one of the first teams I've found, who've showed me how to conserve battery live in earlier iOS's. Since, I've found over 20 things I've turned off in order to preserve my battery . I don't use Siri and I've found a ton of toggles to turn off. My battery has shown major improvement concerning health. Thanks again and keep up the great work.
Thank you I never could understand why pop up ads always seems to show things I'm searching for. 🤺
I use Siri, so I leave her on. She's a great help to me, but, dang, I found out other things I didn't even know that were on, that I didn't need on, so, it was great that I turned them off.
I have never in my life used Sir, but for some reason just never turned it off. nice
Not just the battery. Your privacy.
Greatly appreciate the shared expertise and explanation on what/why to toggle off certain settings. Only had a few of these settings off. Turning all these off might solve the mystery why my iPhone batter drains down on days when not even being used. I couldn't figure out why on some days I hardly use my iPhone the battery drains down for seemingly no reason.
THX! For saving my data plan…. &! For sharing your knowledge.
Wish I could have liked this twice, since it helped both me and my mom optimize our phones’ battery lives.
Used these videos to turn off unwanted services with the 14.7 ios. Great information guys 👍. Just updated to IOS 15 and nothing that I shut off before got turned back on.
was curious, now enlightened. thank you guys~!
Just great. Thanks very much. I'm old with lots of senior's moments. Had to pause a number of times to catch up. Very user friendly, your presentation. You know what 'they' say, Save a life (mine), you save the world.
Great service to those who can’t live without modern tech. Very professional. Please keep it up.
W
yess.
Yes
Thank you gentlemen. I am so NOT tech savvy and this really helps me. 🥰
Thank you for always keeping us safer!
Thank you for posting this. Did this last night on my iPhone SE 2020 that was just updated to iOS 15.5. Noticed a substantial reduction in battery drain. Going to look at your other videos now about things to turn on and reducing battery drain.
Bruh step 12 is an amazing upgrade, finally I can just back up my phone in less than 7 hours
Appreciate these tips. One bit of feedback: In the section about personalized ads, there is some misinformation. Opting out of personalized ads will not result in the ad platform skipping sending you an ad. You are correct that highly targeted campaigns will not bid on your impression, but there are always lower valued ads with looser targeting parameters. The ad platform will just send you a lower value, less targeted campaign. Source: 10 years digital ad platform experience
What is this mean in simple language please? Thank you for your knowledge
@@anasoares3389 same question 😂
What it means is you still get ads .... but they will be non-personalized ... meaning you could get ads for machines to harvest cranberries to baby powder to wood cutting tools .... in other words ... you just get random ads ... and like they said, you become less valuable for them to track, bid on, etc.
I know this is an older video but watching this has informed me a lot and your comment has helped me understand targeting much better. Thank you Charles!
@@anasoares3389 How do you not understand that?
Thank you guys so much! My iPhone is ALWAYS overheating, so I'm hoping all of your tips help.
These guys do a great job and they are easy to follow and understand. Most helpful Apple IOS info out there on You Tube. Thanks
Thank you David And David found some of this to be very helpful with my 9th Generation iPad as i have only got the Wi-Fi version so did not have to worry about using cellular data. found this by mistake as a app froze on my tablet so now i should have it run better and have a longer battery
Since I turned off the suggested settings that you said to turn off, there’s a few that I had turned off but not as many as you said . Now my phone is running 100% better not lagging down and not overheating, my phone was running so slow that it was almost beyond ridiculous, last few days my phone is running so much better I go on an app and it pops up I don’t have to wait two minutes for it to load
What iPhone are you using? Even the oldest supported iPhone (the iPhone 6S) shouldn’t be that slow. Sounds like either a battery failure or you need to wipe the phone clean and start fresh.
I read somewhere recently that it’s not abnormal for a device to be super slow after an update because a lot of apps will still need to update and a lot of changes continue happening in the background, but idk
Honestly, I have most of these set as you guys do…. And yet each year, I still watch the videos! Kudos to the David’s. 😊
I like the way they understood what they are talking. I followed every step on my iPhone 13 Pro Max and I noticed some improvements. Thank you.
I just watched this video and followed through every suggestion and my phone is actually not running hot anymore, even when watching KZhead. Extremely useful content.
Back up over cellular and similar settings are GREAT. I wish Apple would also allow iOS upgrades over cellular. Why? Here in Finland, and many other countries, most cellular data plans are unlimited. Just because data plans in the U.S. are not great doesn't mean, that iOS shouldn't consider the rest of the world.
Thank you for the tips gentleman
Thanks for your help
thanks guys very useful
Thanks, guys, for giving us some insight into the ways the tech giants are ensuring our operating system and application settings make everything about us available to the highest bidder. I love how Facebook played the wounded “people’s app” when Apple gave its users the choice to refuse being tracked.
They gave us the choice to ASK to refuse being tracked but most of the time you wont stop being tracked they just won't tell you.
100%
Man y’all are awesome! I get confused about what I need to have on or off and have asked everyone what to do and no one knew either. It was always a guess thing . So I will be letting everyone know about y’all’s videos for sure! Thank y’all so much for your knowledge!
I went to Apple store and asked them how to save battery and I was informed to turn off Mail fetch. Imagine the bunch of these settingsin this video is worth every % of battery saved from deteriorating. Good job guys Just did it for my new iPhone, ipad and need to do the iPhone grandpa 6S.
Thanks guys, this really helpful to me, although I’ll have to watch this many many times to understand what you’re trying to explain. I grew up before technology and feel like an idiot. I’m sick of asking my friends and especially my 2 teenage daughters to sort me out. I want to figure this stuff out myself. I have to say the way you are presenting your content seems very understandable. Thanks again. Donna from Australia 🇦🇺
I agree 100 %. My kids know way more than I do on this Android. There should be an instruction booklet for those of us who take notes, I'm probably forgetting something 🙄
I did most of what was suggested and I can believe it’s 3pm and I’m still at 70%. Thanks for the tips I subscribed
This was great...thanks lads..i work 12 hrs so saving any battery life is a must as i cant always charge my phone at work
I just got my 13pm and so thankful to have this!!! Even if the battery is big I still want to save battery and disable unnecessary battery draining features
This is first video of iPhone suggestions that I truly needed to know about. I really like how you explained the system apps because i have always heard “don’t mess with those because they are what makes your phone work. Question concerning Find my phone or iPad or whatever. Living in Memphis, violent crime is bad and I like that if my wife doesn’t hear her phone ring, I can check on her whereabouts using that feature. I don’t want to mess that up by disabling location settings or any settings for that matter. Essentially, should I do anything different from what you said in the video keeping in mind that knowing my family’s whereabouts is my priority? For instance, one setting “kept a history of the phones location “…could this not be beneficial if, God forbid, an abduction occurred? Did I mention I’m in Memphis!? Great video!
I absolutely love this video. You guys are very honest and to the point. And , of course! the information provided is VERY helpful; plus highly effective. ALTHOUGH, seriously you guys could slow down between scrolling and taps . It's very hard to keep up with you guys inorder to navigate through our settings and follow along with you at the same time. For real pleas slow down for the rest of on the other side of the screen. Thank you ♥️
❤️♥️
Thank you. I’m having the same problem. Wouldn’t have thought it was a battery type issue.
Thankyou for this… very helpful.👍🏽
Thanks. I did this with my iPad just now. I had already done a number of these things but not all of them. Apple has a way of putting language into their settings and then not telling us anything about what the language means or what the device does if we change the settings. Very helpful.
5:05 turn off the bottom ones first then the top one. This prevents any bs bugs backdoor
OH MY GOODNESS....THANKS SO MUCH!. I turned off practically everything you suggested. Looking forward to using less data!!!!! BIG "LIKE"!!!!
You guys are awesome…especially for us seniors!! ❤️👍🏼
I'm really interested in a test for how much battery a lot of this saves. Most of the battery saving tips i've heard lead to a very limited number of battery minutes/hours.
Love all of these but those are my emotional support tabs and I need them open. Also Bc they’re all bookmarked things I’m reading. All different 😅 I’ll close them when I’m done
My 50 tabs are agreeing with you for pretty much the same reason
So glad I watched this. Thank you.
Thank you for this. Done!
Thank you for looking out literally the entire world👏🏻
The “Significant Locations” feature is da opps.
Thank You so much!!
Brilliant Guys, thanks, just went through the settings on my iPad pro, didn't realise how much was going on in the background until I saw your video, very helpful thank you.
That was the best & clearest (how to) video ever❣️ Kudos to both of you. I have just subscribed 😎 I just did ‘all that’ on my iPhone while watching your tutorial on my iPad, which I was able to start, stop, and freeze the screen to keep up. Loved it.
This is a FANTASTIC video that I can send to my mom, thanks! I am tremendously proud that I had everything I wanted off off
Calm down it’s just a phone
@@Mo-LoveMeForever a phone that’s tracking about any and every thing we do
Thank you for this! I followed along with the video and literally watched my iPhone 8+ start charging faster!
Excellent video Guys, appreciate your advice
I love these videos. I come back for each new version of iOS to see what I need to do.
So so soo helpful and thank you for explaining the details of ‘why’ to the folks who don’t understand tracking methods. Cheers!
Agreed.
I love the David’s. Good looking and useful!
THANK YOU !!!!
