  • David explains 11 NEW signs your iPhone is being tracked and how to stop them, starting with metadata in the Photos app, which could be betraying your precise location every time you share a photo. We'll show you how to shut down hidden location tracking, choose which apps have access to all your sensitive photos, and a whole lot more practical advice to keep you safe.
    We'll walk you through each step with clear advice about how to protect your personal information (and your actual iPhone, too)!

    Even though I still use an iPhone6S, these videos are very informative! One app that's very annoying is used by a business I work for, where it won't function unless I select 'Always' (NOT 'Only When Using') in Location Services; when I log off, I also turn the app off in Settings and 'Never' in Location Services. This is a pain, but for the income, I endure it.

    Love your videos, got a question about signal and bars. When I go in my house i have one bar and my signal sucks on my iPhone, but my iPad for work gets full bars with 4g lte. I live in a tiny home that should not block or interfere with tower down the road. I recently got a new iPhone and it worked fine all week in the house with bars then back to one bar again, also constantly saying turn down volume. Some days it gets hot and drains the battery even when not in use. Thanks again

    PLEASE HELP…I don’t see the ‘normal’ signs of a phone being hacked on my husbands phone, but he has a record of a 45 minute international call that he definitely DIDNT make (with a 4 minute call just before that to the same number!)
    We were on a FaceTime business call at the time anyway!
    Is this possible, or could the mobile company have made a weird error?

    I always bar all apps from camera, photos, microphone and location. You would be surprised how infrequently you actually need to provide access so giving them total access by default is dumb

    If stolen device protection is turned on, if the Apple ID password needs changing it has to be done from a different device. That’s well thought out

      @alexthemtaandr211weatherfa2 Місяць тому +2

      No you can do on the device that you want to do or use an I pad on iPhone 17.2 or newer wait an hour after biometric to request a password reset your password and enter new password correctly twice and do biometric again and you'll never need to use your password again unless you're setting up a device.

    Every Phone or Smartwatch or Tablet or Computer Tracks you there's really no way around it. Does turning certain Settings off help with Tracking? Yes it does but there's lots of ways you can still get Tracked and it's only gonna get worse it's scary if you really think about it.
