Payette Forward helps by offering nine iPhone mistakes you need to stop making now.
Turning Off Find My iPhoneThis tip can save you $1000 — or more. If you don’t have Find My iPhone turned on, Apple won’t always cover any losses you incur should you loss your iPhone. This setting is so important and can save you a ton of time and heartache if you misplace your device. Go to Settings > tap on your name > Tap on “Find My” and make sure this setting is enabled.
Letting Apps Track YouThere is no good reason for you to allow apps to track you — none at all. These apps use your data to then sell it to third-party advertisers and make money off of your. Go to Settings > Privacy > Tracking and turn this feature off for all apps or for those you don’t want tracking you.
Allowing Apps To Use Your LocationSome apps require your location to work — like Google Maps or Weather apps. But most do not need your location and few apps need it at all times. Control how apps gain access to your location by going to Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services.
