TOP 10 IPHONE SETTINGS
As I'm an iPhone user and I'm sure a lot of you guys are as well in all me time using an iPhone. I've come across some cool settings that even I wasn't aware of so I thought why not share them with you guys. In this article I'll be sharing you top 10 iPhone settings you should change right away, so let's get started!
10. Open Link in the Background in Safari
Opening links in Safari is a pain because it automatically switches over to the new tab if you dislike this behaviour as well here's how you can fix it. So inside the settings, you can just go to Safari and here scroll down and tap on open links and set it to in background. Now whenever you'll open a new link in Safari, you won't get automatically switched away to the new tab and instead the link will open in a new tab, you can continue browsing without any problem in background.
9. Disable Control Centre in Lock Screen
By default, phones allow access to the Control Centre and the notification Centre even when they are not, if you want better security on your iPhone you should disable this right away by just going into settings and tap on face id and passcode. Once you've entered your passcode just scroll down and disable the toggles next to Control Centre and notifications. Now your iPhone will not let anyone access the notification centre or the Control Centre until it is unlocked so random people won't be able to change your iPhone settings.
8. App-Specific Settings
Most of the time I like to use my phone on low brightness, however apps like YouTube or call of duty mobile I like to use high brightness every time I open the app is just a pain so I made automation to help you with that. Simply open the shortcuts app and tap on automation, create new automation and select app as the trigger choose the call of duty as the app and tap on done. Now within the automation and select app as the trigger choose the call of duty as the all and tap on done. Now within the automation select add action and search for set brightness. And that's it just make sure that you disable 'the ask before running' toggle here before tapping on done. You can create similar automation for other apps with any settings you like it’s pretty cool.
7. The Hidden Album
Moving on there's a hidden album in iPhones to hide your sensitive photos but if someone opens your photos app the hidden album is there with the name hidden which is just stupid and counterintuitive. Fortunately you can hide this album. Just head into settings and got to photo settings here simply disable the toggle for a hidden album this is will hide the hidden album from the photos app so at least it won't be staring you right in the face all the time.
6. Mirror Front Camera
If you like to take a lot of selfies, this is one setting you should change to get better selfies from your iPhone. Just go to settings tap on the camera and enable the toggle next to the mirror front camera. Now whenever you take a selfie the final image will appear the same as it appears in the viewfinder instead of getting flipped.
5. Lock Apps
One irritating thing about the iPhone is that you can’t lock apps. However if you want to lock your apps there is a workaround hack that you can use. Just go to the screen time settings inside the settings app and tap on app limits, add a new limit for the app you want to lock for example I'll set the photos app set this timer to one minute which is the shortest time available and then tap on add now. Check this out! The photos app will be greyed out, if someone tries to open it they will have to enter the screen time passcode to unlock. Unfortunately, this is the only way to lock apps on iPhone so far but yeah if you need to lock your apps you can use this method for sure.
4. Disable HEIF Photos
iPhones these days take photos in the new chief format which is a pain if you want to share these photos, because most devices still didn't support this format heck even some macs older than mac or high sierra can’t open these photos. Basically you should just disable these. Simply go to settings and then to camera settings, here just head into formats and select most compatible to capture photos in regular jpeg format which will work in almost every device out there.
3. Unlock iPhone with Voice
Next up if you are annoyed having to take off your mask to unlock your iPhone every time you can use your voice to unlock your iPhone as well. In settings go to accessibility, here go to voice control and enable, now go to customize command and tap on creating new command, enter the phrase you want to use and under action select run custom gesture, now just tap on the places where your passcode keys will be and save the gesture that's it. The next time I want to unlock my iPhone with a mask on I can just say kaput reconnaissance and much like the Gryffindor common room in year one. My iPhone just opens up that's pretty cool you can also create similar commands for other things such as taking pictures if you're trying to take a group photo and your iPhone is far away.
2. Enable Grid in Camera
This setting is useful for people who take lots of pictures on their iPhone. If you want to up your photography game you need to work on your framing and this setting can help you with that. Simply go to the settings and scroll down to the camera options. At there you can enable the grid toggle, what this does? It enables this piece 3×3 grid within your viewfinder so you can align photos better plus a lot of people don't know this but if you take the top down photos a lot you can also get this handy level that will help ensure your phone is completely horizontal to the ground for better pictures neat right.
1. System Services
Lastly, there are a lot of system services running that you can disable to have a better experience here. Go to settings, privacy location services, scroll down and tap on system services, now many people don't use apple location so if you also don't use apple location just disable it you can also disable home kit if you don't use that as well as apple pay if you don't use that also! I would also recommend you that disable iPhone analytics, that were a lot of system services we disabled but there's more go back to privacy and tap on analytics and improvements. Here disable the toggle next to share iPhone and watch analytics to send even lesser data to apple.
So these were 10 iPhone settings you should change right away. There were a lot many settings here for better photography, better privacy, and even some fun ones for unlocking your phone with your voice or automating settings based on apps.
