Stop being a rude jerk and actually respect the people who work on/make the app. It’s not that bad it’s actually decent, it only gets bad when you watch bad things / cringe things! There are decent TikTok’s on the app if you don’t watch bad ones, so actually give it a try and stop going with the “TikTOK iS bAD” trend because it really isn’t.
The banner option for incoming calls is a God blessing IMO… I used to be so annoyed when I was in the middle of something - like sending an email - and a call popped up taking control of my phone… I can’t see why someone would prefer it the old way… but hey… to each their own…
"Live" photo setting is one of the most important features to me. It has allowed my still photos to come to life with now deceased close family.... to hear their voice again ...
Thanks for such a helpful episode of your show. I wanted to give a small tip about the back tap capability of phones. I was born blind, and I have had several strokes in the last few years. I found adapting to a phone without a home button to be very difficult, especially when I needed to use the app switcher. I now have back tap set up where app switcher will come up if I tap twice. That really makes my life so much easier, and it might help anyone who has tremors in their hands or dexterity issues.
One annoying thing for me is this. I often carry my phone face up with hand around the front. Many many times a day it will start the jiggling to remove apps. I have not touched the screen, it seems that something about holding the sides starts this. I don’t know if this can be disabled or not?. Love your tips!
Thank you so much for letting us know how to disable the "live" default mode on the Camera. I never want it to be the first type of photo I take so appreciate the info very much!
One other tip I use if you miss the home button, make your own. Go to Settings - Accessibility - Touch - AssistiveTouch (on) - under custom actions you can have 3 options. Personally I have Single-Tap set to Home, Double-Tap set to Control Centre, Long Press set to Screenshot. I have the same functions set on my iPad Pro and my iPad Air. You can put this virtual Home Button anywhere on the edge of the screen and also alter its opacity to suit yourself.
Assistive Touch is fantastic - I found out about this many years ago after my daughter’s phone was damaged & and this is how she kept using it without a functioning Home button.
I have no clue why you would miss a slower and inferior way of using your phone... is that because iOS doesn't have a proper back gesture which works in all apps unlike Android?
Thanks for this video. It was very helpful. I was looking to see how I could create more storage without buying more and this video was just what I needed. I already changed a few things you suggested. Please make a second video with more tips and tricks. Kindness, Teresa
Some really useful tips! Thank you. I have a puzzle for you - why can my husband and daughter open my iPhone 11 with their faces and, more to the point, how can I prevent it!
The camera default that I _really_ wish we had the option to set or to remember from session to session is zoom. I’d set it to 3x, because I find that when I’m taking a photo I end up at 2x-3x something like 80%-95% of the time. And for those “can I get my phone out fast enough and activate the camera in time to capture this‽” moments, not having to also adjust the zoom would shave valuable time, increasing the odds of capturing whatever it is. And, if I had to choose a single zoom setting most likely to be appropriate for the largest fraction of those “urgent” photos, it sure as heck wouldn’t be 1x. But 3x is pretty close to that optimal default, and has the advantage of being the native zoom for the telephoto lens, not a computationally approximated zoom.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for the tip to modify the Live setting in the camera. This has been driving me absolutely crazy and was more than annoying. OMG why would this be the default setting? Sanity restored. Thank you again!
(9 Jan 2023)The most annoying thing I find with the iPhone is that you cannot use Siri to read a text from a locked screen. This failure means that I have to either pick up my phone whilst driving, which is illegal or look away from the road ahead which is dangerous. I cannot for the life of me understand the logic behind this as the phone is quite happy to allow me to dictate and send a text message whilst the screen is locked? (10 Jan 2023) I HAVE FOUND THE ANSWER... Instead of saying, "Hey Siri, read my LAST text" I now say, "Hey Siri, read my NEW text" and she reads it out without a problem. Let me know if this tip has helped anyone else out there by giving me a thumbs up.
Back in the day when I had an android device, I could say “shoot” to take a pic. Is there a verbal command settings, besides talking to Siri that you can take a picture?
These are great. I actually already knew the last one about finding your phone with your Apple Watch. Couldn’t live without it. Especially useful if unbeknownst to you, your phone has gone under the couch. Really needed the tip about camera settings. Have one more problem that happens on both my iPhone 12 and my iPad. My keyboard sometimes disappears and sometimes won’t reappear without a reboot.
You also don't have to tap the back of the phone for the screen shot if you have it enabled that way. It will work if you tap the side of the phone too.
Great tips as ever, thank you! One storage issue you might address in a future video (pretty please) is how to fix apps that use way more storage than they should. iOS notes for example - on my iPad, iOS notes uses about 2.5GB, which is about what I would have expected. The same app on my iPhone (same account, same content, same everything) uses 8.5GB. It drives me nuts. If you can help me solve that one, you will save this soul from eternal frustration.
On my iphone 11pro I use Notes all the time for everything but it only shows it is using 52.9mb. I wonder if you have something in your Notes like a video etc that is taking up so much more space than mine. Alsoon my ipad it only shows 39.5mb. I hope somebody with a lot more knowledge than I have, can give you the answer Dougie. All I've got to help is what my Notes are showing.
Awesome stuff.. I wish there was a setting on the watch that would alert if your iPhone is out of range on your watch.. like leaving a location and forgetting your phone.. been searching on this for a bit..
To me the most annoying feature in iPhone is it's weak vibration. As a person who only used vibration in the alarm on android phone, this one is almost a deal-breaker. I couldn't even imagine, that iPhone can lack of it... felt so obvious and natural that any phone just have it. It felt so much more peaceful to hear pure vibration as an alarm in the morning, but as far as my research there is no cure for this...
One issue I encounter often is with having headphones on. Then asking Siri to read a message that has just been received. Or WhatsApp. Then Siri will reply that I have to unlock my iPhone first. But in those situation like skiing if I have the headphones is because I don’t want to get my phone out of my pocket. Really annoying. Specially now that you can have the code for access on WhatsApp !! It drives me crazy when friends are texting or where am I on the pistes !! 😢.
Hi from Australia! This gave me a few new tips, thank you so much! Now, losing my iPhone is a regular occurrence to me and I don’t have an iWatch, but I do have an iPad, so -just after I got home yesterday I couldn’t find my phone and was panicking that I’d left it in a shop, but luckily I remembered ’Find my iPhone’ was on my iPad & when I went & used it, I found my iPhone…. On my washing machine!! Thanks again for great tips!
Since I do not own an Apple Watch, I do own an iPad and when I lose my iPhone somewhere around my house or the iPad whichever I ping them through find my iPad find my iPhone and that’s how I find them. By the way, thank you very much. I love learning, new stuff and today you made me realize that I could ask Siri to do a screenshot after all these years of being an iPhone owner and iPad owner I find this highly important to know. Thank you very much for teaching us elderly new tricks 😉
Great tips. I hoped that you would cover the issue of the phone going into jiggle (edit) mode when it's picked up or put down. I can't find anything on the web about this.
About the last tip - find my iPhone also works if you have a Mac (iMac, Mac mini, MacBook). And it actually works even better, because while the watch makes a sound from iPhone once and then you have to keep tapping the little phone, when you ask Siri to find it from a Mac, it will keep ringing until you find it and turn it off. It works with AirPods as well.
I love the style of presentation you use and it has solved many of my iPhone issues. I use my iPad much more than my phone and would greatly appreciate either comments about what suggestions you use that are identical to the iPad, or have separate iPad videos on similar subject matters.
Face ID wirh a mask does not appear on my iPhone 11. I have iOS 16.1.1. As I still mask every time I go out, this feature would be of great use to me--but does not appear to be available, even tho I downloaded the last iOS upgrade.
Is there a way to choose a volume for alarms other than turning down ringer volume? Seems a simple toggle slide setting in the alarm app would be in order.
Is there a way around Siri telling me “ You have to unlock your iPhone first” before it will obey a request? So infuriating!! I have made sure all the settings do comply with Siri accessing the apps etc. Any insight? Thanks for your helpful educating videos. You’re a great resource!
Thanks for the info. I have made several changes at your suggestion. I do have a question… Sometimes when I ask Siri to text for me, the screen pops up and she asks what I want to say. I give the info for the text and nothing happens. The text cell just stays blank and eventually goes away. However, sometimes the cell populates with what I said and sends with no problem. Why does it work sometimes and not other times. Lately, it has failed more than it works.
I watched this to see why my phone keeps putting in the AssistiveTouch keeps getting activated and as I was checking the double tap feature there is was! Now I don’t have to deal with that issue anymore! Thank you.
If you’re trying to find your iPhone with your watch in a dark location, you can press and hold that phone button on your watch in the control center and it’ll make your phone play that sound and the LED light will flash on the phone
What is really annoying me about my new iPhone 14 Pro is the fact that the photos are really over. Processed and not good… I hate what they look like. The second issue I have is the fact that the newer phones do not support 3G, and I seem to have horrible reception many places I travel to, when driving. I honestly wish I could just go back to my iPhone 8.
Another great video with helpful tips clearly explained. Love this channel & newsletter! Have a wonderful Christmas & New Year Tom - with best wishes from Australia.
10:43 Two corrections here! 1) It's not the same process on EVERY iphone. On older ones, with a home button, you hold power and home buttons at the same time. 2) It's not a "hard reset", it's a SOFT reset, because it only force reboot your iphone.
You can also use find my on a iPhone iPad or Mac on the same iCloud account or family to ping any of your apple devices that support find my, muted or not
Thanks Tom, something that drives me crazy IS when I type is using finger swipe it always capitalises the “is”. Any way to fix this? it came in during a release and i’ve tried auto correct, dictionary and nothing seems to work. it appears to be a feature….. but it is only is or as it defaults to IS that the problem. I’ve recently changed to button capitalise to of and while this fixes the IS, none of my sentences have caps anymore by default.
Thank you, esp. for the video rotation tip. Despite the fact that the fix seems easy enough, any ideas on how to PREVENT the issue of videos mysteriously/randomly being recorded with the wrong orientation? Is it something to do with the orientation lock?
I have found in with some phones there is a drastic uptick in random mysterious events. I had a issue with my starring to record in my pocket. All of a sudden. And all the time😖 Why do you say ita random? Mine was due to a update that allowed mg watch to unlock my phone , and it happened when i carried two phones around around me
@@letrascantables i know. And we are both going a hard time It explaining this. But this is how you figure it out. Something changed. The video is the wrong way round. So when do notice its wrong. After the recording. Does it start from s be place There is something unexpectedly happening. What is that?
That's a great tip about changing the video landscape or portrait. I couldn’t find the iPhone option to turn off Live Photos on my iPhone X XR with the latest iOS version. is there any way to make the Apple Watch find my iPhone ringtone stay on longer? Mine only beeps once, which isn’t long enough for me to find my phone.
I hate the live photos and seems like even if I toggle it off, it still comes on with preserve settings set to on. Perhaps it is just me. ice video thank you
Brilliant. My phone was taking random screenshots. Not anymore, thanks to you! And…..I’ll be. Able to find my phone easily now. THANK YOU! Merry. Christmas:)
Great tips, at least of them were issues I have been dealing with for a while. I do wish Apple would move some of the navigation buttons to the bottom, like the back button in iMessage and other apps. While I don’t have small hands it’s obnoxious when using the phone one handed to stretch to hit the back button.
5:55 For Apple Watch users I’d suggest unlock with watch instead. If your wearing your watch it will unlock your phone no matter what you’ve got covering your face.
Very helpful. I have a problem with my iPhone. I also have a watch and since having that the phone often doesn’t ring when a text comes in. People thing I’m ignoring them but really I haven’t been notified. I have a friend who has the same problem with her phone and watch. Also, how do I sign up for the newsletter?
I went to the Apple Store for this problem and what I found out is as long as you have the heart rate option on it will silence your phone. you have to disable it then your phone will make the noise again. stupid I know. go to notifications, Heart Health then turn off heart rate notification. I hope it works for you.
Okay so I'm an android user and after seeing comments of people really finding this helpful, I now am convinced that iPhones just do simple tasks very complicatedly. I was hoping this video turns out to be a joke of some sort but no. It's a full serious video. I really doubt me getting an iPhone 15 considering Android is just simple af
Thanks for this helpful video - very useful tips. However, there is 1 problem that evidently only affects me: My fingers get very dry and I miss a lot of calls since my swipe doesn’t take. I know there’s the option to have auto-answer, but I don’t want to answer spam calls. I wish Apple implemented a hardware answering option, such as the side button. It’s very frustrating.
@@Teresa-K Thanks but thats a separate issue that I already dealt with by only accepting calls from my contact list. What I still need is a way to use 1 of my hardware buttons (eg my volume control) to answer my phone. Why won’t Apple build-in that capability (Android does)?
Is there a way to not remember the last search or contact you searched for in contacts. Everytime you search for a contact it stays there once you’re done with it. So next time there are additional steps to get back and that’s irritating
I am from Kerala, India . I have iPhone 11 with iOS 16. In call forwarding, I get just one option for calls forwarding. But if I use the same SIM in Android mobile, I get 4 options like “when busy”, “when not reachable “, “when not answered” etc
Please either explain how to turn OFF the scrolling slider on the righthand side of the screen or confirm that there is no way to get rid of it so I can stop searching for one. Thanks!
Why would someone specifically want to not save a live photo? Just curious - I was under the assumption that there is no reduction in picture quality by having it enabled, and you don't have to look at the saved video clip.
Thanks so much for the tips. I used 5 of the 10. An annoying issue I have is sometimes it rings on some callers and sometimes it doesnt even with the same caller. Can you help with this? Thanks a lot.
I’ve been having this problem since I updated to iOS 16. I was getting a “call has been silenced” message. In settings>>> phone you’ll find an option to silence calls from unknown numbers. I’ve toggled that off and all of my calls seem to be coming through.
I really like that you put the list of steps on the side of the screen when showing a menu item in settings. Great tips too.
I love that your example of deleting apps was a tick tok delete! Everyone should do that!😅
That app is pathetic
@@ljs2274 yessir.
Never had it in the first place
Stop being a rude jerk and actually respect the people who work on/make the app. It’s not that bad it’s actually decent, it only gets bad when you watch bad things / cringe things! There are decent TikTok’s on the app if you don’t watch bad ones, so actually give it a try and stop going with the “TikTOK iS bAD” trend because it really isn’t.

One other tip I use if you miss the home button, make your own. Go to Settings - Accessibility - Touch - AssistiveTouch (on) - under custom actions you can have 3 options. Personally I have Single-Tap set to Home, Double-Tap set to Control Centre, Long Press set to Screenshot. I have the same functions set on my iPad Pro and my iPad Air. You can put this virtual Home Button anywhere on the edge of the screen and also alter its opacity to suit yourself.
Assistive Touch is fantastic - I found out about this many years ago after my daughter’s phone was damaged & and this is how she kept using it without a functioning Home button.
Hmmm. I dont have custom actions. I have iPhone 8. Do you have a more recent phone?
@@judysbakeryandtestkitchen1654 why would u even need a virtual home button when the iPhone 8 has a physical one?
I have no clue why you would miss a slower and inferior way of using your phone... is that because iOS doesn't have a proper back gesture which works in all apps unlike Android?

Thanks! I always learn helpful tips with your videos: both the darkness and the reachability issues were spot on.
Regarding “phone lost in the house“ one can also say, “Hey Siri, where are you?”
What…. Thank you!
I’m over here. 😂
Except if you have a wild HomePod around 😅
Doesn’t work if you keep your ringer off like I do
@DPRX Fr, I have an android but it's still so annoying. Like sorry any notification will distract me from whatever I'm doing😅😅😂😂😂!

I’ve recently changed to button capitalise to of and while this fixes the IS, none of my sentences have caps anymore by default.
Thank you great video ❤
Thank you, esp. for the video rotation tip. Despite the fact that the fix seems easy enough, any ideas on how to PREVENT the issue of videos mysteriously/randomly being recorded with the wrong orientation? Is it something to do with the orientation lock?
I have found in with some phones there is a drastic uptick in random mysterious events. I had a issue with my starring to record in my pocket. All of a sudden. And all the time😖
Why do you say ita random?
Mine was due to a update that allowed mg watch to unlock my phone , and it happened when i carried two phones around around me
@@jockbw Because in my case nothing else (had) changed.
@@letrascantables i know. And we are both going a hard time It explaining this. But this is how you figure it out. Something changed. The video is the wrong way round. So when do notice its wrong. After the recording. Does it start from s be place There is something unexpectedly happening. What is that?
@@jockbw I've only ever made landscape videos. Sometimes they get saved as landscape, sometimes as portrait. I wish someone could explain why.
I'm kinda surprised so many people didn't know these things
That's a great tip about changing the video landscape or portrait. I couldn’t find the iPhone option to turn off Live Photos on my iPhone X XR with the latest iOS version.
is there any way to make the Apple Watch find my iPhone ringtone stay on longer? Mine only beeps once, which isn’t long enough for me to find my phone.
I hate the live photos and seems like even if I toggle it off, it still comes on with preserve settings set to on. Perhaps it is just me. ice video thank you
Brilliant. My phone was taking random screenshots. Not anymore, thanks to you! And…..I’ll be. Able to find my phone easily now. THANK YOU! Merry. Christmas:)
Awesome, glad to hear the video helped! Merry Christmas ☃️
Great tips, at least of them were issues I have been dealing with for a while. I do wish Apple would move some of the navigation buttons to the bottom, like the back button in iMessage and other apps. While I don’t have small hands it’s obnoxious when using the phone one handed to stretch to hit the back button.
All good stuff thank you - just know that some options (like "Face ID with a Mask") are only available on models iPhone 12 and later.
This was actually super helpful. Thanks.
5:55 For Apple Watch users I’d suggest unlock with watch instead. If your wearing your watch it will unlock your phone no matter what you’ve got covering your face.
@4:51, you can also use your other Apple devices such as iPad, iPod touch or even an iMac to find your iPhone using the Find My App.
Very helpful. I have a problem with my iPhone. I also have a watch and since having that the phone often doesn’t ring when a text comes in. People thing I’m ignoring them but really I haven’t been notified. I have a friend who has the same problem with her phone and watch. Also, how do I sign up for the newsletter?
I went to the Apple Store for this problem and what I found out is as long as you have the heart rate option on it will silence your phone. you have to disable it then your phone will make the noise again. stupid I know. go to notifications, Heart Health then turn off heart rate notification. I hope it works for you.
Thank you for another great video.
Thanks for the tip on changing incoming calls from banner to full screen. 👏👏👍
Okay so I'm an android user and after seeing comments of people really finding this helpful, I now am convinced that iPhones just do simple tasks very complicatedly.
I was hoping this video turns out to be a joke of some sort but no. It's a full serious video. I really doubt me getting an iPhone 15 considering Android is just simple af
I wish, with the find the phone tip at the end, that the phone would also flash the light to make it easier to find in a dark room.
We need phone calls screening for the iPhone platform. Google has it.
Thanks for this helpful video - very useful tips. However, there is 1 problem that evidently only affects me: My fingers get very dry and I miss a lot of calls since my swipe doesn’t take. I know there’s the option to have auto-answer, but I don’t want to answer spam calls. I wish Apple implemented a hardware answering option, such as the side button. It’s very frustrating.
You might add an app like “Call Protect” that helps with unwanted calls.
@@Teresa-K Thanks but thats a separate issue that I already dealt with by only accepting calls from my contact list. What I still need is a way to use 1 of my hardware buttons (eg my volume control) to answer my phone. Why won’t Apple build-in that capability (Android does)?
Is there a way to not remember the last search or contact you searched for in contacts. Everytime you search for a contact it stays there once you’re done with it. So next time there are additional steps to get back and that’s irritating
Great tips thanks. I use the watch find iPhone regularly 👍🏻
I am from Kerala, India . I have iPhone 11 with iOS 16. In call forwarding, I get just one option for calls forwarding. But if I use the same SIM in Android mobile, I get 4 options like “when busy”, “when not reachable “, “when not answered” etc
Incoming call, banner, nope - not or me, at last fixed! Thank you.
Hi thanks so much for this it certainly has helped
Please either explain how to turn OFF the scrolling slider on the righthand side of the screen or confirm that there is no way to get rid of it so I can stop searching for one. Thanks!
Why would someone specifically want to not save a live photo? Just curious - I was under the assumption that there is no reduction in picture quality by having it enabled, and you don't have to look at the saved video clip.
Thanks so much for the tips. I used 5 of the 10. An annoying issue I have is sometimes it rings on some callers and sometimes it doesnt even with the same caller. Can you help with this? Thanks a lot.
I’ve been having this problem since I updated to iOS 16.
I was getting a “call has been silenced” message. In settings>>> phone you’ll find an option to silence calls from unknown numbers. I’ve toggled that off and all of my calls seem to be coming through.
@@petat13 Thank you fr that information. This phone has been driving e crazy and sometimes not ringing is one of the problems.
To find your iPhone it's simply enough to ask Siri at loud "Hey Siri! Where are you?!" several times or ask them for playing some music.
