46 iPhone settings you should probably turn off right now

The iPhone is a phenomenal device, but with each new iteration of iOS, we have more and more settings to manage. If only there was a complete guide on how to change the default configuration to get the best performance and battery life from our phone.

Well, a recent video on YouTube aims to be just that. Two Apple experts have set out to provide a guide to what settings you should “Turn Off Immediately” to get better battery life and to protect your data and privacy. And there are no less than 46 (if you’re looking to upgrade your iphone, check out our guide to the best iPhone 14 prices)

If you have an iPhone 14 or recent iPhone running the latest iOS, you might want to watch Apple experts David Payette and David Lynch of Payette Forward as they suggest 46 iPhone settings you should turn off to improve your phone’s performance and keep your data safe.

It might seem like a lot to turn off, but phones now have so many features we don’t need that can actually slow them down or reduce battery life that it makes sense to make some tweaks. The video discusses both new settings and long-standing features that continue to drive iPhone users crazy. They range from Apple marketing, personalized recommendations and subscriptions (AKA spam) to notification settings, the misleading name “Privacy Preserving Ad Measurement”, the always-on wallpaper, and those annoying email signatures (no , we don’t want to give Apple free publicity in every email we send thank you).

Of course, some of the settings they suggest turning off may actually be useful, and not everyone will want to turn them all off, for example iCloud Private Relay is designed to protect privacy, and some people have noted that it doesn’t. There’s no need to turn Photo Pro Res 48MP off as it’s easy to switch in the camera app itself, and some photographers may want the option to shoot at 48MP at least sometimes.

But it is true that many features are useless for many users. There are many that you would never know were there, but slowly and surely they are affecting phone performance. Many people reacted positively in the comments. One person wrote, “For Apple to be so safe and easy to use, it’s pretty crazy that we have to do all of this just to optimize it for basic use cases.”
