4 Default Apple Settings You Have To Turn Off As Soon As You Buy Your iPhone
March 15, 2022 by Lisa Cupido
It may feel unnatural — even wrong — to adjust any of the settings that come already set up on your iPhone. But the truth is there are plenty of default settings that you can tinker with to create an even better and more personalized iPhone user experience. Tech Expert Cindy Corpis, CEO of SearchPeopleFree, suggests four Apple settings you have to turn off as soon as you buy your iPhone.
1- Bring back full-screen incoming call alerts
When your iPhone was unlocked and in use before last year’s iOS 14 release, the screen for incoming calls would fill up the entire screen — which may have been inconvenient, but it got the job done, Corpis reminds us. “Apple modified the incoming call promptly to seem more like a standard alert starting with iOS 14,” Corpis says. “That is, a little message shows near the top of the display while you are utilizing your phone. I’ve almost missed a call on a few occasions because I rejected the warning as just another unpleasant notice that didn’t require quick attention.”
2- Change Siri’s voice
“Last year, as iOS 14.5 was launched, it contained two new Siri voices,” Corpis says. “Siri’s default tone is no more a female’s for the first time. Instead, when you set up a new device, you’ll be offered which Siri voice you want to use. Apple will change Siri’s tone all across your Apple ID-linked gadgets when you’ve made your decision. It’s extremely pleasant.
