tactics for your iphone let's dive inso if you launch Safari and you type inan address into the address bar and youclick go
just about a hundred percent of the timeit takes you to the mobile version ofthat website now there is a way torequest the actual desktop website
all you do is press and hold the refreshbutton on Safari and then it's going tobring up a secret menu that says requestdesktop site

clear the ram on your phonepress and hold the power button untilslide to power of appears and then pressand hold home button and that's going to
clear the ramp just press and hold ituntil you go to the home screen and themoment the home screen appears thatactually clears the ram in the
backgroundlet's move on alright so next step hasto do with your video cameraas you know the iphone comes with an
advanced video camera that can record inper second or 4k video i just want toshow you quickly how you can toggle
between these options now first andforemost less launch the camera and Ijust want you guys to know when youfirst launch the camera and you go to
the video mode by default it isrecording at 1080p in 30 frames persecondthat's just a default option you simply
have to glance at the black area in thebottom right to confirm thisif there is nothing going on over therethat means you're recording at 1080p at
let me show you how to modify thoseoptions go into the settings scroll downwhere it says photos and camera and then
scroll downagain and go to record video and here'swhere you tweak all the options as youcan see you have four options 720p at 30
frames per seconda check mark next to it that means it isthe default and then you can switch to
tapping on that option and quickly payattention to the block of text at thebottom over here it shows you that the
higher the resolution and the higher theframes per secondthe more space your video takes and alsoin the case of 1080p at 60 frames per
secondyour video is going to take more space
but it's also going to be much moresmooth so just keep those things in mind
let's get out of here and lost a camerai'm gonna show you something real niceso if you go back into camera if youlook at that bottom block
now it says 60 frames per second so youcan tell at a glance at what frames persecond your video is being recorded atand also at what resolution less the
same thing with the 4k let's go back inthe settings pic 4k at 30 frames persecond go back in the camera and at thevideo now it says 4k
so you can always tell at whatresolution you are in fact recording nowcan do the same thing with slow motionrecording so let's go back into settings
go back into photos and camera and writethe bottom it says record slow motionyou do have two options you can do 1080pand hundred twenty frames per second or
going to give you super slow motion andif you go back into the camera and ifyou scroll over to slow mo at the bottom
block you're not going to see anythingif you don't see anything that meansit's being recorded at 240 frames persecond
if you pick this option and go back tothe camera at the bottom you're going tosee a hundred twenty frames per secondat 1080p and that is how you distinguish
and switch between available optionslet's move on so the next step has to dowith locking individual notesso if you launch your notes application
you can actually individually lockspecific notes that you thinkare sensitive information so let's saythis note to me was very private and i
wanted to lock it so nobody else can seeit unless they know the password orunless they have a fingerprintregistered to unlock the note so let me
show you how to get that done so on thehome screen click on settings scrolldown to where it says notes and then tapon the password field and here you're
going to have two optionsnumber one you're gonna have to set up atraditional password such as numbers orletters and number two you're going to
enable use touch ID and that's going toallow you to view locked notes just byusing your fingertipsso let's go back in the notes
application will show you how to lockthe notetap on notes tap on that icon on the topright and from here choose lock note and
once you tap on lock note is going toask you to put in your password which isthe password you picked under the notessettings so put the password and click
OK and then it's going to allow you tolock or unlock this note read that noteit says tap the lock icon in the toolbaror lock your device to hide the contents
so let's tap the lock icon in thetoolbar and there we go the note is nowlockedlet me go back out and go back and just
to show you how it works so let's say
somebody taps on this note and goesinside is going to see the note islocked and you can tap on view note and
then it's going to ask you for yourfingerprint you put that in it unlocksthe noteabsolutely fantastic you can do this on
any note that you pleasealright so the next step has to do witha secret menu that you can actuallyenable that is going to float about on
your screenit's called the assistive touch so let'sgo into the settings to enable thisso go to general and go to accessibility
and then scroll down where it saysassistive touch right over there andsimply enable the option and the momentyou enable it you'll see a little menu
that just popped up let's go back tohome screen you can take this thing andyou can put it anywhere that you pleaseit can float and set any place on the
screen that you wantso let's see what you can do with thisthingfirst and foremost this can be used as
the software version of the home buttonso let's tap on it tap home and as youcan see it performs the same functionbut if you look at it there's more
optionssitting inside assistive touch as youcan see i just invoked series so that'sone option using the assistive touch you
can even bring the notifications paneldown without even having to actuallypull it down from the top so just tap onit and the notifications panel drops
down
you can do the same thing with thecontrol center so let's go back hometap on assistive touch and tap on
control center and as you can see cameright upfantastic you can also customizeassistive touch in the settings menu
so let's go into the settings menureally quick i'm gonna show you how tocustomize the assistive touch to meetyour needs
so go to settings and simply tap oncustomized top level menu and from hereif you want to change the function ofany icon here
you simply tap on the icon and choosethe new function and as you can see youin fact have several optionsnow there's an option your iphone where
if you type something in or if you doanythingand after that you shake your phone itbrings up a prompt that asks you to undo
what you just didso just type something I shake my phoneand the prompt came right up it says doyou want to undo the typing now for some
people this may not be desirable so youcan actually disable this function whereif you shake your phone the prompt doesnot show up so let's cancel this really
quickgo out go into the settings and then goto general and go into accessibility andlook for shake to undo which is right
there on the topsimply tap it and disable this optionthere we goso let's goPicked up _JAVA_OPTIONS: -Xmx512M back into the notes
application launch it and type somethingin and then shake the iphone and seewhat happensand absolutely nothing happens in one
quick thing i want to show in the cameraif you go into the camera and go to thephoto by default there is no grid youcan actually enable the grid go into the
settings go all the way back to thegeneral menuand look for photos and camera scrolldown a little bit and simply enable the
grid and now you're going to be able toactually see a grid on the camerathat's going to allow you to betteralign your photos so make sure you guys
enable this for better photography nextthing i want to show you guys is if youpull down the notifications panel as youcan see you get a sense of translucency
a sense of transparency throughout thenotifications panel you can see ablurred version of the home screen inthe background
now what you can do is you can actuallychange the color of the notificationspanel to a solid blackyou can do the same thing for the
control centers if I pull the controlcenter you still have that sense oftranslucency transparency going on soquickly go into the settings tap on
general go to accessibility and scrolldown to where it says increase contrastand from here choose reduce transparencyjust tap on that I can to enable it
let's go back out and see what the panellooks like nowso pulled on the panel and as you cansee it is solid black the transparency
has disappearednow if i go back to the control centeris going to be solid gray and thetransparency is has in fact on and as
you can see even the bar at the bottomis now a solid gray color if I was to goback into settings and disable thatoption and go back out
as you can see the bar is nowtransparent so it really is up to youwhich type you desirealright so the next tip has to do with
enabling restrictions on your iPhone soother people when they grab your iphonecannot do certain thingsyou have full control first and foremost
let's go into the settings and scrolldown to general and then scroll down torestrictionsok now when you first tap on
restrictionsit's going to ask you to pick a passwordso let's tap on it and then click enablerestrictions and boom it wants you to
set a passcodeso let's tap a simple pass code is goingto ask you to do it one more time andthere we go
there is a lot you can restrict underthis menu and these are amazing featuresbut let's start off with the basicsright off the bat you can see that you
can disable safari the camera seriesfacetime airdropand carplay let me quickly go back tothe home screen and take a look at the
home screen you can see so far you cansee the cameralet's disable these and see what itlooks like so let's go back and
restrictions can actually put yourpassword pop it in and then let'sdisable safari disabled camera go backout and as you can see those icons have
now disappeared and nobody can ever usethem unless you go back in there putyour password in and remove therestrictions yourself and observe how
you have to put your password in everysingle time you go to restrictions sothere's no way anybody can hack intothis
let's just enable everything again andif you scroll down there's even moreoptionsyou know you can disable itunes store
and all that but take a look at thethree blue options at the bottominstalling apps deleting apps and in-apppurchases all these three things can be
restricted and that is quite useful ifyou're giving your phone to somebodyelse so they cannot install or removeapplications
so normally if i go over here and tapand hold on the screen you can deleteany application you want by tapping theX icon
maybe that's not something you wantother people to do on your phone so whatyou want to do is you want to disablethat option and then when you go back
out and somebody is playing with yourphone if they tap and hold that X symbolsimply is not going to appear so there'sno way to uninstall these applications
without you being present and removingthat restrictionalright so next up let's talk aboutstorage management go into the settings
of your phone go to general and scrolldown to where it says storage and ICloud usagewhat I like over here is that you get a
snapshot of the local storage on youriPhone and you also get the snapshot ofyour iCloud account from here you getsome useful information on the top is a
local storageit says that you have an available spaceof 48.6 gigabytes and you're currentlyusing four point nine gigs
if you look at the bottom on the iCloudside it says your total iCloud storageis five gigs and you're currently usingfour point two gigs of that available
storage now you do have the option totap on manage storage and go into somedetailsso over here as you can see garage band
is taking 1.2 gigabytes of storage spaceand my question would be why because inever ever use GarageBand so simply tapon Garageband and once you're inside you
can actually delete this application andget rid of it so tap on that and confirmthe deletion and now you suddenly have1.2 gigs of extra storage space and you
can do the same thing with any app onthis list let's go back and you can dothe same thing with iCloud you canmanage the storage for your iCloud
account and from here you can inspectthe numbers and as you can see I moviefor example is taking a lot of storagespace on my icloud account which i would
like to be freed upso tap on it and then simply click Editwhich brings up the deletion menu sosimply click that bar the red bar and
then click deleteand that's going to free up some goodamount of space on my icloud accountfantastic and next up let's talk about
battery management so let's go intosettings and let's scroll down tobattery and tap it is going to go rightinto the settings and let me show you
guys how to calculate exactly how longyour battery lasts after a full chargeon your iPhone before that thoughquickly take a look at the low power
mode and battery percentage meter so asyou know the low power mode is going tosave you some battery life is going toshut off some background tasks that you
do not need and the battery percentageif you disable it kills that percentagesymbol on the top status barso as you click it on you can see it
says ninety-four percent of the top butlet's go down over here and over hereyou get a breakdown of which applicationon your iPhone has been using your
battery you can go by the last 24 hoursfor the last four daysso tap on that and there's a secretbutton that you can press right over
therethat gives you some additionalinformation so when you press thatbutton that looks like a clock it
actually tells you how much time thatapplication was on the screen and evenhow much an application was on thebackground so if you get the whats app
it says 21 minutes of the seventeenpercentusage was on screen and 19 minutes wasin the background
same thing with the notes applicationtwo minutes on screen and two minutes onbackground total battery usage was 2percent
this is just a nice and organized way tofind out what the heck is going on withyour battery usage and finally at thebottom it says time since last full
chargei have been using my iphone for 56minutes and has been on the stand by forthree hours and 55 minutes sense the
full chargeso all you have to do is fully chargedyour phone and let the battery drain allthe way down to one or two percent and
then come back and look at these twostatistics the usage and standby timeand that's going to give you exactly howlong your battery stays alive both in
terms of usage and stand bynothing can give you a more exactmeasurement of your battery life on youriPhone
so let's talk about how to hideinformation from prying guys let's turnoff the phone and then turn it back onand as you can see right now the phone
is locked so you have to either put yourfingerprint or put the passcodehowever even when it's locked people canstill access your notifications and your
today's screen that might have someprivate information they can also accessthe control center if they pull from thebottom up
so let me show you guys how to disableaccess to the control center and thenotifications panel from your phonefirst I'm going to show you guys how to
hide control centerso let's go into the settings for thatscroll down his right on the topactually tap on control center and
simply disable access on lock screenlet's go back to the main settings andi'll show you the notifications panelnext

now if you pulled on that Center you canaccess today's screen but you're notgoing to be able to access thenotifications panel that's usually on
the rightso you can affect customized as youplease let me show you a quick tipregarding the fingerprint sensor let's
go into the settings and the scroll downto where it says touch ID and passcodeand if you scroll down a little bitworse as fingerprints
oops let's fix that real quick as youcan see it says left thumb and leftindex so the iPhone itself does not knowwhich fingerprint you're using after
scanning each finger you have to tap onthat fingerprint and rename each one ofthese manuallyjust so you guys can keep track of it so
let's just tap on left thumb right nowand as you can see i can simply edit thename of that fingerI can just keep us left t so make sure
you guys name your fingers properly asyou scan them in so you can actuallykeep track of which finger is whatin case you want to delete or update any

How to save space on iphone?

   I'm sure you do and that's why you click on this video and basically in this video we're going to do is talk about how to optimize a year by phone so you can get away with using one of these low storage iphones apple should really find a way to come out with a gigabyte as the standard model because personally I feel like they're just ripping people off with the gig let me know your comments down below in the comments
section and let's get into that right now guys let's go alright guys happened right in your going to go into settings and you're going to see that my iphone is a gigabyte model just to verify so outofthebox capacity is . gigabytes available . basically this is all i have on their seven songs videos photos in applications and I only have four points gigabytes left and that is pretty ridiculous from my perspective I don't have that much on my iphone as you can see because there's not that much that you can put on a gigabyte iphone but how do i get away with using one and the first tip is going to be that you're going to want to have unlimited cloud storage photo app basically you can go ahead and type in google photos already have this installed on the try to type is behind the camera google photos and you have a gmail account you want to get this and you get basically unlimited storage on a cloud storage photo so that's a great way but you can also get something like Amazon photos as well amazon photos you do need a prime subscription for this but this is also free storage for photos as well cloud storage as you can see it has a star rating just about and also there are many other such as onedrive let's see one drive this is from Microsoft you can also use this cloud storage at all so you have the builtin one from apple but they don't give you that much storage outofthebox for iCloud so you have the builtin iCloud right here so you see only . gigabytes and you have to pay for more so that's why i recommend going ahead and getting google photos so that's the first tip basically is to have a cloud storage app guys for this next tip please go into settings and go down until you see photos and camera so basically going to scroll down and under let's see right where it says music videos photos and cameras are going to go down and so you get to let's see the camera section you want to hit where it says record video and you want to turn this to p basically that's going to save you lots of space you can see megabytes with p and megabyte so that's going to save you on the video yes it's not going to be quite as sharp but is still going to get the job done overall that I save space on my iphone s as gigabyte as i go into the photos and after I take all my photos i delete all of them so i delete them but they're not quite deleted totally so what I do is go to shared master i go two albums and you're going to see all these photos and albums but recently deleted those are the ones that are still not deleted so you're gonna want to go in there and delete all of those and actually save you a ton of space there so basically you want to clean out your photos use the regular camera in the photo stuff at first clean it out send it over to a cloud storage app actually you might want to send it to the cloud storage at first then clean it out but basically that's gonna save you the most amount of space also you're going to want you to basically not have too many games on your air iphone this is one pitfall of a smaller iPhone is the games are going to keep it to a minimum of three to five maybe games just find your favorite games or most valuable games and just put those on your iPhone and call it a day because you're not really going to want to have tons again for your storage will be eating down really quickly but i do recommend if you want to have a lot of games to get casual lower space games such as these two like Jetpack Joyride subway surfers temple run cross the road all those smaller hit titles candy crush

all those kind of things Angry Birds those are off small megabytes you can have a ton of those little casual games but we're talking about the high graphic games such as infinity blade arm real racing those type of games take up a ton of space so for those you want to pick a few here and there alright guys another way that we're going to optimize their stories we're gonna head into settings and we're going to type in the search bar storage so we type in storage right here we're going to go into storage and icloud usage and we're going to go under storage and hit manage storage we're going to see what is taking up most of the space right here and we're gonna try to go into that app and try to clear out as much as we can so you can't clear from right there but if you're going to the app you can delete some of the things out of that you know application itself or also what I do is sometimes I just delete the app and reinstall it because that automatically clears the the cash the application itself that's another thing i do to manage storage on my iphone gigabyte thing that you can do to manage space on your iphone is clear out some of the apple applications so some of them are deletable from outofthebox so if you can try to delete as many apple bloatware when you first get your iphone or when it's freshly installed OS you don't have any apps on it go ahead and delete as many as you can there also try to delete some of the things and I booked some of your old books you don't use as well as delete some of the old videos in your videos and some reminders in here so yes it kind of doesn't you know it's not very practical but if you use cloud storage based apps such as you know Google keep Evernote Apple notes even Apple knows pick up some storage but if you use cloud base you don't take the applications to keep your you know stuff in the cloud basically the college's internet storage you won't use as much space on your iPhone in that way as well from these days so ya don't know Donald music and keep it on your phone if you want to download some music just keep it limited you know keep your songs to a minimum i would say no more than songs because you're going to really start heating up storage as most songs are about three megs per song so yeah that's another way that I see stories just streaming and that's pretty much

how i optimize and survive on a you buy iphone I also you know do regular maintenance like keep cleaning out the photos all the time I mean it's kind of a hassle but you gotta do what you gotta do i delete apps that I find that are not very useful probably once a week to keep it you know just enough storage to do what I want when I want so if you keep it maintained you can get away with using a gigabyte iphone i would say that's the biggest thing about a gigabyte iphone as it requires maintenance whereas a gig you get time and go bananza and just do whatever you want on those models hence why they cost a lot more although they shouldn't cause the hundred more because you can get a samsung galaxy from get a microSD card it only costs about ten dollars and it's get the same about amount of storage should get an iPhone but you know what that's what Apple likes to do that's the effects of the you know the Apple world if you don't like it then don't get an Apple device but that's basically how you get away from my perspective and how i use my iphone that's how I get away with using a gigabyte iphone if you have any tips and suggestions or tricks go ahead leave them down in the comments down below as people like to read those and it will help everybody out on this channel as well a team over here and if you enjoyed this video please go ahead hit that thumbs up down below subscribe for more technology videos and I will catch you all in the next episode guys peas
