- Apple cell phones have important settings that you should change immediately.
- You can extend the battery life or block unwanted advertising calls.
- We present you with the options.
Many of you certainly call an iPhone your own. It’s relatively easy to set up, especially if you’ve already owned another Apple phone. However, there are some settings that you should adjust immediately after setup.
This protects your data from time to time and speeds up working with the cell phone at the same time. You should change these options:
- App-Tracking: Apps must ask your permission to track for advertising purposes. But the constant pop-ups can be annoying. This is how you turn them off.
- Block calls and messages from unknown numbers: Fraudsters or recruiting numbers can sometimes terrorize you. With an iPhone, you can easily block these numbers. You won’t hear anything from a call or a message.
- Enable 2-factor authentication: You can secure your Apple ID against phishing attempts with 2-factor authentication. We’ll show you how to set up two-factor authentication for your Apple ID. It also makes sense to set up trustworthy contacts who can help you if you have forgotten your password.
- Saving the battery: The battery life of an iPhone can be significantly extended with just a few simple steps. This includes disabling widgets or adjusting the white point of the display.
- Safari address bar: With iOS 15, Apple moved the Safari browser address bar down. This may take some getting used to. However, you can easily move them back to their old place.
- Backside as a button: With iOS 14, Apple has given you a new “button”. When you tap the back of your phone, different actions can be started. This can be extremely useful in everyday life.
- Always-on display on older iPhones: Officially, the always-on display is only available from the iPhone 14, although older devices also have all the prerequisites for it. With a trick, you can also activate the always-on display on iPhone 13 and Co.
The checklist for setting up a new smartphone tells you which settings you still need to consider when setting up a new cell phone.
If you use a Samsung Galaxy phone, you should change these settings. There is also a need for optimization in the settings of Xiaomi cell phones.
