[Music] hey guys soccer from sake ticket in today's video what we're gonna do is we are gonna be sharing the first 12 things to do with your brand new and shiny iphone 12. so if you have this phone you want to tweak these settings immediately to make sure you get the best performance and the best experience with your brand new iphone 12 so let's jump right in all right so the very first thing that you want to do is you want to go to your settings okay and then you want to immediately go over to your battery right over here you tap on this one and then go into the battery health you tap on this one and you want to make sure that the maximum capacity for your battery is in fact at a hundred percent if this is any lower than a hundred percent when you buy a brand new phone it's time to do a quick exchange because you can read the description at the bottom here it says this is a measure of battery capacity relative to when it was new so it definitely should be a hundred percent when you first buy the phone another thing you want to make sure that you enable is the optimized battery charging now this is going to optimize the battery charging so the battery gets minimum wear and tear from constantly charging the phone now if you disable this the phone might charge a little bit faster than usual but if you keep it enabled you might get slightly slower charging but a longer battery life especially if you're thinking of keeping your iphone for a long time all right let's move on to the next thing to do all right so the next thing you want to do quickly is go to the settings and then scroll down and go into display and brightness and you want to make sure you want to scroll down go into auto lock and make sure you set this to 30 seconds so what basically happens is after 30 seconds of inactivity the display is going to shut off automatically and that's going to save you tons of battery life if you have it at five minutes believe me that battery is going to drain fast because display eats a lot of battery life so keep this at 30 seconds and you'll be good to go you're going to maximize your battery experience i'm going to keep it at five minutes for now for the sake of the video now with ios 14 on these iphones what you get is you get a bunch of widgets so make sure that you utilize these and put the ones that you want to see on your home screen all you have to do is press and hold on a blank area on the screen it's going to start to wiggle the screen you want to tap on plus right here and you get access to all your widgets right over here now every widget has four or five different variations you can tap on the battery and that's gonna give you a bunch of different widget sizes and stuff like that then you can hold it and drag it to the screen or you can tap on uh add a widget it's gonna get dumped into the screen now if i go over here and if i tap on plus real quick and if i go down just a little bit let's just grab this one right here let's use this one i'm going to grab and drag i'm going to dump it right there and we are good to go now this battery widget if you have an apple watch an ipad is all going to show up right here in the other circles and just a side note you do want to make sure you go to the app store and simply search for widgets okay this is something for people that like to customize their phone just search for widgets and download a widget application such as widget smith which is going to give you even more options as you can see right here to fully customize your iphone's home screens so that's something you want to do if you want important information staring at you in your face right on the home screen all right let's move on now back in display settings there's one more thing i like to enable personally so i'm in display and brightness settings under main settings i do want to go down a little bit and i want to make sure that my text is bolded so when you have this disabled the text is going to be light and thin sometimes it might be hard to see this in daylight so i like to bold it up so that's much more visible as you can see now one more thing even though you don't see the setting here there's an auto brightness setting that's enabled in your iphone by default to try and save you battery life now i like to control my brightness manually okay so here's what you want to do you want to go to the settings the main settings so what you want to do is you want to go into accessibility you tap on this one then you go into display and text size you tap on that one as well and then you go all the way down and you want to make sure this auto brightness here is in fact disabled once you do this you are easily able to control the brightness from the control panel right here press and hold look at that okay much better to have manual control on the actual brightness of your smartphone as opposed to auto adjustments all the time that might confuse you if you're not aware of what's going on so disable auto brightness or enable it based on your needs all right the next thing i'm going to talk about has to be your face id so i'm assuming you already set up your face id so what you want to do is you want to go to your settings you want to configure the face id so it works at maximum capacity so let me go inside dump in my password and here we are so what you want to make sure that you are able to use your face id for all these tasks okay make sure it's to unlock your iphone which should be default and then you can make purchases in itunes and app store you can also make payments with apple bay and also autofill passwords with the face id system so make sure that is enabled and also for further security you want to make sure you have both of these attention features enabled now this one is going to require you to give your attention to the face id system for it to unlock so if you're sleeping somebody can't just grab the phone and put it your face to unlock it it's gonna actually require you to be looking at the phone to unlock it so that makes a lot of sense make sure attention features and require attention is in fact enabled for maximum security now going back into the face id settings there's one more very important thing to configure what you want to do is you want to scroll all the way down and you want to make sure you disable all these guys when the phone is locked so as of now when your phone is locked people can access your today's view your notification center your control center and all these options right here that they shouldn't be able to access when you lock the phone locking the phone means no access so take a look at this so if i turn off the phone just i'm going to give you one example i'm just going to go to my lock screen over here and i can pull down the panel here and then from here i can actually mess up things in the house i can turn on and off the lights i can change the brightness the volume play music so you want to disable these things when you lock your phone and walk away so let me show you how that works so i'm going to disable all these guys and see what happens on the lock screen now okay so everything is disabled phone is fully secured turn off turn on let's say somebody's trying to access my home settings can't do it okay can access my notifications can't access today's screen cannot access nothing the way it's supposed to be so make sure that it's configured properly based on your needs now one more thing i want you guys to do is go to the settings okay and then go into sounds and haptics now this is a trick here to save you some battery life so every time somebody calls you your phone can ring and vibrate what you want to do is you want to disable the ring option so if you the phone is actually ringing it doesn't vibrate and that's going to save you extra battery life because vibration requires a lot of battery power so you don't need a vibration if you can hear what's happening okay if you like it you can keep it open but i like to disable this it's going to give me 10 to 20 minutes more battery life based on the calls that i get on a daily basis now one of the newer features that people really are gonna enjoy is the picture in picture view on ios 14 so you want to make sure you go to your settings okay and you want to make sure you go into general and go to picture in picture and make sure it is enabled by default okay so start pip automatically should be enabled let me show you what it does so let's say you're watching a movie okay sometimes you want to exit the movie and do something but you also want to continue watching the movie so let me just open the application i'm just going to play a movie let's say we're playing a movie right over here okay in netflix and i want to do something on the home screen i can exit this guy and it's going to actually continue to play right over here the good thing is you can pinch this to make it bigger as you do other stuff on your phone okay check messages browse the web research something real quick and this is right here you can make it small or large as you desire as you can see you can even put it aside for a minute and do something if you need full screen and then bring it back up based on your needs when you're done you want to go back inside you can tap this it'll go back inside or if you just want to exit out you close it out and move on fantastic little feature the next thing i want to talk about is very important it allows you to restrict access to applications and settings on your iphone so your friends or family members cannot mess up your phone or do things they're not supposed to do so you want to go to your settings and you want to go to screen time the first step is you want to go here at the bottom it says content and privacy restrictions you go inside and you want to enable this when you enable this for the very first time it may ask you to pick a passcode which is fine that's going to be a separate unique passcode different from your regular pin number as you can see it shows right here use screen time passcode so if i tap on this one it's gonna ask me to set one up so let me just pick something simple let's just do 777 for this video okay now dumping your apple id to create a recovery in case you forget that because it's important and then it's enabled so i'm going to go back in here okay right now this is enabled so let me show you all the things you can do here first and foremost let's talk about restricting access to applications i can tap on allowed applications it's going to ask me to put in my screen time passcode of course because only you should be able to change the settings so from here i can disable access to all these applications nobody can read my mail nobody can access my camera people cannot go to the itunes store now to purchase stuff and maybe waste your money and you can also restrict access to your health information which is supposed to be private but you get the point so if i disable all these guys you'll notice when i go back out most of those applications just disappear there's no mail application there's no camera application they cannot access it now so when you want to go back and re enable them you go back inside you tap on allowed applications okay you just tap on here and enable everything as you desire now that's number one the other thing that people complain about a lot is this thing right here itunes and app store so right now anybody if you hand your phone over to somebody and it's unlocked anybody can install applications delete applications and also perform in-app purchases which is going to waste a lot of money if they do that for you so first and foremost always require a password to install an application and also if you don't want people to download and install applications you can don't allow this okay now when i go back the app store is actually hidden so people cannot go to the app store and install applications but if you want to keep that one enabled that's fine okay let's say you want to keep that one enabled at least what you can do is you can disallow people from making in-app purchases on existing applications and also uh restrict people from deleting applications so if i say don't allow if i go back out here if i press and hold now none of these applications can be actually deleted there's no x symbol on it i can tap here i can remove it from the home screen but it's not going to allow me to actually delete any application all right so fantastic little security feature you want to enable to make sure you are fully protected now obviously if you have an iphone you're going to be accessing your control panel a lot this thing right here you can access your music from here uh you can access your quick toggles from here you can access your brightness slider and volume slide if you press and hold the expand you want to make sure you fully customize this area so you have everything you need at your fingertips when you want to quickly pull something down and maybe take a photo or whatever it launches the camera so go to the settings okay go to the main screen and then go to notifications right here on the top and then go over to control center right here and from here you can enable or disable the controls you don't want to see so for example if i don't want any of these guys i can remove them okay just let me show you how it looks now when i pull this down all those options at the bottom have disappeared i can disable the home controls if you don't have any smart home items in here also you can go over here and basically enable everything that you want anything that you want you want a flashlight useful tool calculator very useful camera use it all the time so now if i pull this down i've got those right here so make sure this is customized to perfectly fit your needs as well another big thing is if you go to the settings and if you go into the display option okay you want to make sure that raise to wake is enabled this option right here now normally if i have the phone locked and if i just raise the phone to look at it nothing happens okay the phone remains shut you have to press the power button to log into it which i'm doing right now but if i have the race to wake enabled all right now if the phone is turned off and when i just glanced at it without unlocking it i can just race and it's going to you know open up the phone i can look at it and if there's nothing going on i can just put it back and move on so make sure you enable that raise to wake feature as you can see very convenient to have all right so those were the first 12 things you want to do on your phone to configure it properly and customize it based on your needs i do hope you learned some new and useful stuff to set up your phone if you have any questions comments or concerns drop them down below and let me know for now guys have a fantastic day enjoy your new iphone 12.
