know to become an iphone expert and so that you can use your brand new iphone 12 at its peak potential we'll show you all of the different features of your new iphone as well as exactly what to expect how to set it up and how to use it like a pro so let's get started on the complete beginner's guide to the iphone 12 12 pro and 12 pro max so before we show you how to set up your phone and everything inside your phone itself and don't worry we'll show you how to set everything up including how to set up your actual smart stack different widgets how to set everything up right here on your iphone 12. before we show you that i want to show you around the phone itself just so you have a primer on what everything is like remember this is a complete beginner's guide so we want to show you this as well so right up at the top you're going to see that we do have a front facing camera it's a little bit hard to see but that camera is facing this direction and that's actually what's going to allow you to scan your face and as you can see unlock right there and unlock your phone using just your face pointed at that camera now in addition to that you'll also see that we have a speaker we also have some infrared lights as well that's also working to scan uh scan your face you can actually sometimes see them popping up right here on your phone now over here now it's only only on the video that is to say you won't actually see this in person because our infrared is being picked up by the camera now down here you can see that we have a microphone and another set of speakers as well as your lightning connector port now this is actually where you're going to be able to plug in your iphone now of course you do have advanced wireless charging built in right into the back the magsafe charging with your iphone 12. we'll talk about that a little bit later but you also have the classic ability just to plug in like so your lightning connector and then of course you can connect the other end either into your computer you could connect it into a power brick plug it into the wall um or you could even you know connect with different headphones also wired headphones can connect right here into your lightning connector port as well now a little bit later we'll talk about how you also have the magsafe uh wireless charging on the back of your phone in addition to that now as you can see up here you also have your rear-facing camera and there's actually three different versions of cameras here that's one of the incredible features with the iphone 12 pro iphone 12 pro max now you might have only a couple cameras if you have either the iphone 12 iphone 12 mini but you can see here that we have our three rear-facing cameras we'll talk about how to use these the absolute best a little bit later on in this video you can also see that we have their flash and we also have uh some different sensors as well in the back of your phone now in addition to that what i want to turn your attention to is the sides of the phone so first let's actually go over to this side as you can see we just have one button right here on the side this is the power power button now the recommended way to hold your phone is just like this as you can see you can have your index finger resting right over the power button so you can easily press it and then you can have your thumb over here resting on top of the volume rocker and the mute switch we'll talk about those in a second as well now what you can do is if your phone is off like so all you have to do is press this power button just once and you can see that you can turn it on now it's the same thing if your phone is already on and we'll sometimes it makes us put in a code here if your phone is already on then what you can do is you can just press the power button once just like so using your index finger and it will turn off so that will turn it on and off just by pressing this power button and if you press and hold on the side button like so it'll bring up siri just like that and then you can ask siri questions we'll talk a little bit more about siri a little later on in the video now if you double tap and you have apple pay enabled it's going to pull up with your credit card you're going to be able to pay using just your phone with a contactless payment now on the other side you can see here that we have the volume rocker and mute switch now if you press this button it'll actually raise the volume up the down button will bring the volume down and then over here on the mute switch if you pull this back you can actually mute your phone like so so watch this what we can do is if we push it forward then we have silent mode off if we push it back then as you can see silent mode is on so that way you can mute your phone from any types of noise and that's just using this mute switch right here and again you can see here you can raise the volume up and down using the volume rocker up and down just like so now if you want to take a quick screenshot of your phone all you have to do is press both the power button and the volume up button at the same time like so and as you can see you've got now a screenshot of whatever you're looking at on your phone and you can of course save that to your photos we'll talk a little bit more about things like the screenshot a little later on in this video now if you press and hold on both the power button and the volume up button at the same time like so you can see that you access this menu where you can completely power off your phone now this is going to completely power it off because all it does when you just press the power button in general is it just puts your phone to sleep but what this will do is it'll completely power off your phone and actually essentially restart your phone now you also have the ability to view a medical id which we'll show you how to set up later on and also emergency sos so you know hopefully you never have to use this but if you come into an emergency situation if you swipe that it'll automatically call 911 and emergency services and if you set it up the right way and we'll show you how to do this later on in this video it'll even send an alert to your loved ones that you might be in a dangerous situation so first what you're going to want to do is set up your brand new iphone 12 pro now once you first turn it on once you've taken it out of the box you're going to see that it's going to start to bring up the different welcome different welcome words and different languages and what you're going to be able to do is actually start the phone and choose the language that you want so most of you are going to select english as your language then you're going to select your region so for instance the united states or wherever you happen to live now you're actually going to see that there is a quick start guide and so what you're going to be able to do with this quick start guide is you can actually sync and connect your past iphone or you can set up the phone manually once you've done that as you can see it'll say that it'll just take a few minutes to activate your iphone 12. so you're just going to give it a little bit of time to activate and will return once that's done oh it actually looks like it is activating right now next you're going to choose your data and privacy settings and then you're going to activate face id so what you're going to want to do with face id is you're going to click continue and it's going to automatically start to scan your face so that you can use that for face id itself on the phone that's going to allow you to unlock your iphone using just your face so when you click continue as you can see it brings up a camera what you want to do is you want to put your face here and move your face around the screen it's going to actually give you a walk through on the device itself so i just wanted to show you how this worked it's a little hard for me to film myself doing it but what you're going to do is you're going to put your face in the screen and then move the face around when prompted in order to set up face id we're going to do that quickly and return next what you're going to be able to do is select exactly how you would like to set up your new iphone now there's a few options here one is to restore from an icloud backup so if you already had a backup saved of your phone on a past device you can click that and it'll automatically pull that data from the cloud to set up your new iphone 12. now you might also want to restore from a mac or pc that's if you have a backup on a mac or pc of your iphone you could transfer directly from the other iphone so if you have the other iphone right next to you you can transfer from one to the other you can also move from android or choose to set up the phone completely blank and not transfer apps and data now for the purposes of this video i'm going to set this up as a new iphone but what you're going to want to do is if you already have an iphone or if you've had an android phone in the past select one of these options that's going to allow you to restore that data from your past phone now if this is the first time you're setting up an iphone or smartphone then you're going to want to just choose don't transfer apps and data and you'll set up a phone completely from scratch next it'll bring up some express settings like siri maps and also apple what you could do is you can just click continue and then choose to keep your phone up to date click continue as well and what that's going to do is going to make sure that it will give you notifications when there's new when there's new updates available now if you decide to you can set up apple pay and the way that you do this is you can scan your credit card and automatically put it right here on your iphone 12 so that next time you're paying at a store or a location you can just tap the button twice in order to pull up apple pay and pay using your phone now we're going to choose to set this up later but if you want to set this up now you can click continue and it'll prompt you with how to set up your uh credit card with your iphone you'd always do it later in wallet so then of course you have a siri dictation now what it's asking you is if you want to improve this this is asking if you want to send this data to apple now this is up to you but i like to choose not now i prefer to make sure that i have full privacy and none of my recordings are sent anywhere else screen time is going to allow you to monitor your usage of different applications so you know how much time you spend on different apps you make sure you don't spend as much time you know on netflix or you know or you're getting you know productive things done you kind of limit your screen time you know when you're on your phone um this is a really valuable tool so you can set this up you can click continue and that will automatically enable screen time now of course if you don't want that you can of course choose to not have that option then you have app analytics this is the same thing i prefer to protect my privacy so i actually don't share that detail now true tone display is going to allow your iphone 12 to automatically change its color depending on the time of day so later in the day as it gets later and later it's actually going to block some of those blue tones so that it'll protect your eyes from eye strain and so you can decide if you want to set this up with true tone display and you can click continue there now of course you can also select your appearance if you want the light or dark appearance there's also a way we'll show you earlier to automatically transfer between or show you later that is to say that transfers between light and dark appearance now display zoom is what's going to allow you to have kind of a larger text larger screen if you need a little bit of help kind of reading some of the different notifications that are coming up especially if you don't want to use reading glasses something like that then you can choose the zoomed in version or you can choose a standard version most of you are going to want to choose a standard version but if you do want that zoomed in feel you can use that and then from there it says welcome to iphone and you are ready to go which is going to be awesome and right just like that you're brought into your iphone it's incredible you can see verizon congratulating me on the new phone but of course what you can do is you can set this phone up with your past backups or you can set it up brand new like i did here as you can see it has some of the stock applications so that is how to set up your iphone 12 your brand new iphone 12 i hope you guys are as excited as i am now let's dive into some more features and showing you exactly how the phone works so now that you've set up your brand new iphone 12 i want to show you all of the incredible features that come brand new with ios 14. now ios 14 is the operating system right here on your iphone 12 and i've actually put together a combination of some of the brand new features that are available now after those features after diving into that we're going to show you more in depth and some more beginner tactics on how to use your iphone 12 from start to finish so let's take a look at the brand new ios 14 features that come pre-loaded right here on your iphone 12 including how to set up the fancy widgets and smart stacks just like so so you can customize your home screen so it's no longer just apps you can also add these widgets as well let's take a look on ios 14 you can now customize your home screen to add custom widgets check this out as you can see here we have the weather widget and we have a variety of different widgets like our calendar top news stories and even a photo album as well just by swiping through this widget stack now we're going to show you how to add and change the stack in just a second but you might be wondering how do you even get these widgets on your home screen in the first place so what you're going to do is you're just going to press and hold anywhere on the home screen that's not on an app itself press and hold and as you can see all of the buttons start to jiggle all the icons that is and what you can do is you can go up here to the top left and you see how you have this new plus icon you're going to click that plus icon and as you can see here there's all of these different widgets that you can use now we've already selected the weather widget but let's just say we don't have it we're just going to remove it for a second here so we'll show you exactly how this works you're going to go press and hold and then you're going to click the plus button and you can see right there we have the smart stack and this includes the weather widget built right in so as you can see the smart stack has a variety of different widgets now you can choose if you want a small smart stack or if you want a kind of medium size banner style smart stack or you can even have a full featured smart stack that actually takes up a wide array of your home screen now i opted for the medium and middle size option i'm clicking add widget here and it adds it right up at the top now as you can see it moves all the rest of your apps over and on to the next page and because this is the smart stack you can see here that you're actually able to scroll through a wide array of different widgets right here on your home screen now let's say you wanted to change the dish the different widgets that you have right here in that smart stack all you have to do is press and hold on the smart stack itself and you can see you can edit weather which is you know the specific actual widget in the stack which is the weather app but you can also edit the whole stack so if you click edit stack you can see here that you can add different features to the smart stack and you can see that we have siri weather calendar news and you can actually rotate where you want each of these to be so if you want photos to come before news you can rotate it just like that now smart rotate also allows you to automatically determine what you're most likely to see so let's say you check the weather every morning it's going to automatically have the weather be the first thing that you see in the smart stack but then later on the day let's say you typically go ahead and check your calendar if that's the case it will automatically adjust and your iphone will know and it'll actually show you the calendar as the first thing you see when you look at your smart stack in the morning now of course you can always just scroll through these just by swiping up and down to look at the different widgets in your smart stack now you can also add additional widgets to your iphone as well you can see here that i've added the clock widget all you have to do is press and hold on the home screen again and click the little plus icon up at the top and then you can actually search all of your different apps for different widgets you can see we have the fitness we have the clock notes and more so you can see here that we have a wide variety of variety of different widgets that are come available to us let's just say we wanted to add in another clock widget so we click on clock and you can see that we can actually swipe between a full clock face that we already have on our phone a world clock or even a world clock that's kind of in this this long horizontal view so let's just say we want this additional world clock just click add widget and you can see that it just adds the widget right there onto your home screen now if you want to move these around at any time let's say you want to move these down here you would just move these around like you would a regular application just like so as you can see we can switch where we want each widget to be and let's say we want to remove a widget all you have to do is just click the remove icon just like so so as you can see we can move these widgets around and this is one of the absolute best features that they have in ios 14 you're going to want to do a lot of experimenting with this now let's say that you want to specifically you know change some of these widgets that you have you can press and hold on a specific widget you can see here you can edit weather so maybe you want to change the location i have my location right there but you can change that and tap on that same thing with the clock if you press and hold you can click edit widget and you can actually change the city now with the different widgets that you have and obviously all the different apps that you have might have different widgets you can actually choose and customize those widgets on your home screen just like so this is absolutely one of the best features in ios 14. you're really going to want to experiment with this of course you have the smart stack up here which i recommend adding right to the top of your home screen you can of course select this and you can edit the stack itself and what you can do of course is add additional widgets there's a wide array of additional widgets for all kinds of different applications that you may happen to use on your iphone so i recommend experimenting taking a look at them and looking at the wide array of different widgets that are available to you so hopefully you found this valuable and also let me know in the comments below what your favorite widgets are i'm constantly looking for new widgets to explore and use and some of our other app find viewers might be interested in that as well so be sure to let us know down in the comments what your favorite widget is so we can learn from you as well so it's not just your home screen that allows you to add widgets in ios 14. if you scroll over you can also add widgets to your search page as well now obviously i've actually added a couple in here already i had the news in there and i also added my battery widget because i don't really want to have that on my home screen but this is perfect for my search screen over here so what i can do is i can press and hold and i can add in new widgets just by again pressing the plus icon at the top and as you can see i can search here so let's say i wanted to add in one of the clock widgets just like so i could choose a big one or let's say i wanted to include the world clock i can add that right here and it slots right in perfectly into my screen over here as well now let's say i wanted to add another widget i can click plus let's say i wanted to find a weather widget and instead of having the small one or the medium size widget i want the largest one possible so let's go ahead and add that in and so now whenever i scroll over i can actually see a complete view of the weather now let's say i wanted to move that up i could just swipe to move that up here and i can just go over these other ones just like so and you can also stack a couple widgets on top of each other so i actually just did that by accident you can see that i added these to the screen time widget along with the with the weather widget as well but i can move that around and as you can see it's just a little bit difficult to get it over this news one because it's a pretty big widget there but as you can see now if i scroll over from my home screen you can see that i have access to my calendar my battery and then also a full view of the weather so i can have a small view of the weather over here and then a full view when i swipe over i've got a list of the news then i can of course also swipe through this smart stack to also see my screen time so that's another thing you can do as well if you want to drag one widget on top of another and that's something we're actually going to show you you can actually create a smart stack so you can scroll through them that's also similar to the smart stack that we showed you how to build on your home screen so you can do that by dragging widgets right on top of each other to create that smart stack now i recommend adding in a variety of these different widgets over here and really customizing it to make it your own not just on the home screen on your different screens but also over here as well so you can get a better more expanded view one other thing you're going to want to explore on your iphone running ios 14 is of course the app library if you scroll all the way over on your iphone all the way to the right you can see that we have your app library up here now it'll have suggestions based on apps you visit frequently but then you can also see recently added apps and different apps that are organized by category like productivity social utilities entertainment shopping information and more and it's actually going to create an entire list of the apps that you use most frequently and it's going to build that all here into your library now of course you can search the library at any time just by searching at the top but you can see that it's created all of these different views and then what you can do is you can go into any of these views let's say utilities for instance and you can take a look at the specific apps that are included inside just like so as you can see down here we can look at all the different apps that are grouped into each of these smart categories this next hidden feature is a little more serious and it's not necessarily specific to ios 14 but i always want to include this because it has the potential to save you from a negative situation and the way that i see it is even if this just helps one person then that's worth it and it's enabling emergency sos i encourage all of you to enable this on your phone so if you go into emergency sos what this allows you to do is add call with side button and auto call for emergency services if you get into a negative situation now you may already know that if you press and hold on the power and volume up button at the same time you'll have the ability to power off get a medical id and even access emergency sos by swiping that you'll get access to emergency sos let me just cancel that and type in my passcode but what you may not know is you can also turn on if you go into emergency sos in the settings call with side button when you enable that all you have to do is rapidly press the side button five times in order to automatically call emergency services make sure you also turn auto call on as well so it'll automatically call emergency services and notify your emergency contacts that you might be in trouble now hopefully this is something you never have to use but i wanted to show you this because it's better to install this now and turn this on now so that you have it just in case so that's emergency sos which is a feature that's a little bit hidden it's not necessarily unique to ios 14 but it's something i want to show you because even if this just helps one person then it's worth including it in this video i hope you guys are enjoying this video on the first things to do with ios 14 we have a lot more things to do in just a second in this video here but i wanted to also show you an incredible application that you can use to earn instant

pages but you don't necessarily want to have all of them there at once all you have to do is press and hold and then actually click on the pages icon down here like so click here you can see all of the different pages you have available to you now what you can decide to do is let's say you want to hide a couple of these you see here i have a bunch of you know folders filled with a lot of different apps these are usually apps that i review but maybe don't use every day so what i can do is i can deselect these and so now these pages are hidden i can of course always go back and re-enable them later but now i actually don't have those pages of apps anymore it skips past those and that way i can more easily and quickly get to the app library if i ever want to add those again all i have to do is again price and hold go to the pages and just re-enable the pages down here and then they'll appear again for me when i click done and you can see there i have my pages available to me again that's a nice hidden feature that you can enable right here in ios 14. so now that you've seen some of the brand new features on ios 14 running on your iphone 12 pro iphone 12 or iphone 12 pro max i want to show you and continue our complete beginner's guide where we're actually going to be walking you through some of the more basic features that are built right into your iphone now for this we're going to be using of course this iphone 12 pro but we can also be using an iphone 11 throughout as well because some of these features also work on some of the previous iphones too and so what we're going to be doing is showing you exactly how all of these features work on your brand new iphone so let's dive in we're going to show you all of the different gestures and button presses that you need to use for your iphone to fully interact with it now we'll start right here on the lock screen of course we showed you once you turn on your phone by clicking the side button all you need to do is swipe up to access your phone itself now of course to access the apps just tap on them and it'll pull up the applications now to exit out of these apps you simply need to swipe up from the bottom and as you can see it closes the application itself just swipe up and it closes the app now in order to switch quickly between different applications you can do this using this bar right here at the bottom all you need to do is swipe over like so and you'll get to the next application that you were previously in swipe over again and you'll get to the next application after that all you need to do is swipe back and forth between the applications using this simple bar right at the bottom now if you're looking to find an application you had open relatively quickly or to close other applications you might have in the background the way you do that is you told this bar pull up but instead of fully closing just hold there for a second now this might take a couple of tries but once you get the gesture it should come naturally to you so pull up and hold and as you can see you now enter multitasking where you can see all of the different applications that you have open now to go into them just tap and it'll bring you to that application now if we go back there again we'll show you how you can actually close applications so if you wanted to close an app all you have to do is press and hold and as you can see it pops up with the little red delete icon now this doesn't delete the app don't worry this just closes the app running on your phone so it'll just close the application itself just like so close the app you can also swipe up to have the same effect now if you want to close all the apps on your phone just close all the applications right here and as you can see now we don't have any apps running now we already showed you how to power on and off your phone and again we showed you that in the last section using the side button of course powering down with the side button and the top volume button but i also wanted to show you one more feature that we mentioned earlier we kind of alluded to if you press and hold the side button and the volume up button at the same time in addition to slide to power off you also get the emergency sos function and the reason i wanted to show you this is because this feature is actually very serious it does have the potential to save you from a dangerous situation hopefully you never have to use it but in the event that you do it's good to know that it's there so the emergency sos if you swipe that it will actually automatically call emergency services for you and it will alert anyone in your health app listed as an emergency contact and we'll show you how to set that up later in the video it will actually send them a text that you needed to call emergency services now that's important to note just in case it ever comes up hopefully you never have to use it but i wanted to point that out so you have that available and you're prepared now another way to set this up so that you can actually access this just by tapping the side button five times is to go into settings and i recommend everybody watching this video go in and set this up because again it's better to be prepared hopefully you never have to use this but i want to show you how to set it up just in case so you're going to go into settings you're going to scroll down to emergency sos right here and then as you can see usually what would have is just this auto call which is what we showed you earlier if you press and hold the volume up and side button and then you swipe emergency sos it'll automatically call emergency services it will also text your emergency contacts to let them know that you've called emergency services as well now i recommend enabling this feature also works with five clicks because this way you can access emergency services even without having to swipe on your phone much quicker and you do this by pressing the side button right here again the side button five times and it will automatically call emergency services and alert your emergency contacts now this is valuable say you have your phone in your pocket if you encounter a dangerous situation you can press the button five times and rest assured that it would then call emergency services now again hopefully you never have to use this however in the event of an emergency it's important to know that this exists now again to set up the emergency contacts and health that it will text if you do run into an emergency now this of course is in addition to calling 911 or whatever your emergency equivalent is is you can click the button right here set up your emergency contacts and health and that will allow you to plug in family and friends that you'd like to be contacted in the event of an emergency again hopefully you don't have to use that but it's good to be prepared now we'll show you how to activate siri access your control center and notification center right here from your phone now to access siri all you have to do is press and hold on the side button like so as you can accidentally summon me no i did not hello siri good afternoon alaric there we go and as you can see all you have to do is press and hold on the side button and then you can access siri just like that now the other way to access siri is to say hey siri [Music] just like so and actually have another phone back here that that went off as well which is kind of funny but that will allow you to access siri as well either by pressing the side button and holding or by saying those words hey followed by siri if i say too fast it'll activate right now so now we're going to show you and again we'll get into everything you can do with siri later in the video there's a whole section dedicated to siri i just wanted to show you how to access it right now now here's how you can access your lock screen now the way to access your lock screen is to swipe down from the top left of your phone and as you can see you have the lock screen right here we'll get into more features the lock screen as well as the home screen a little bit later on in this video now to access the control center all you need to do is swipe down from the top right and as you can see you have your full control center here with all of these great features we'll show you everything you need to do and need to know about the control center again in another section i just wanted to show you how to access it and finally the last thing that we're going to show you how to access from here is to swipe down from the center now i actually have to go down a little bit swipe down from the center right there and that will pull up spotlight search so you can search for an app you're looking for say for instance weather you can pull up weather just like that this will let you search your whole iphone including your text messages and your emails if you have that enabled in settings so that way you can find apps you're looking for emails you're looking for it's a great way to search your phone so those are all of the different ways to access your device including all the buttons and all the gestures that you need to know now we're going to take a look at some of the core communication based apps on your phone don't worry we'll be diving into all the other applications like weather clock calendar camera a little bit later on but for now we want to show you the main communications apps and the browsing app just so that you get a sense of kind of the main components of your phone what you're really looking to do is kind of a standard aspect of your device now of course we do have the mail app where when you first click on it you'll be presented with welcome to mail where you can hook up your own mail your email account that is so say you have gmail just click on google type in your email or phone number and then your password and you'll get all of your inbox right here so you can respond to emails read emails send new emails directly from the mail application now at the bottom left we of course do have our phone equipped with the keypad so that's in the keypad section where you can dial whatever number you're looking to call you can also look at favorites so these are people that you've saved into your favorites if you want to add somebody new

you can go into here and you can send messages to other people of course just click on imessage you can type a text to them this works as imessage if you're texting another person with an iphone or as a general text message if you're texting somebody that does not have an iphone we also wanted to show you safari and of course we also have safari down here as well and in order to go to a website

the different pages you have open and of course close them by clicking the little x at the top so if we want to add a new page let's say we wanted to go to youtube we can just click youtube right there and as you can see it opens up youtube in a brand new page to switch between them just click little switcher you can go back to apple if you want to close one of them just click the little x at the top left and that will close that page now if you want to save a page to your favorites or save it to your bookmarks just click this little button right here and as you can see you can actually

cash accumulate all right let's continue our complete beginners guide for the iphone 10. now we're going to show you how face id and passcode work on your iphone 10. so face id works by scanning your face and allowing you to have access directly into your phone now you'll see this in action if i look away turn on my phone if i look at the phone as you can see the little lock unlocks it means that face id has been recognized and i can open the phone but what you may not know is face id also works for purchases that you make on the app store purchase you make with apple pay and also authenticating your user identity in different functions on your iphone so if it needs to verify that you are who you say you are it'll scan your face id and double check now i wanted to show you how to set up your password and also change your face id if you need to so the way to do this is to open up the settings application and then scroll down until you see face id and passcode just like so you're going to want to enter your passcode i just did something simple one two three four five six of course you should have a more complex passcode this is just for the purposes of this video so in here you can see what you want to use your face id for so in this case the iphone unlock apple pay itunes and app store and also safari autofill which is the automatic remembering of passwords if you want to use that as well now those four functionality you can change if you'd like if you want to use face to id for everything keep them all on if you actually don't want to use face id for some reason you can turn all of these off and it won't scan your face now if you want to use it for some but not all you can adjust these sliders accordingly now if you scroll down this is actually a really cool feature right here and this is attention aware features just like this now attention aware features means that if you have this enabled which i recommend enabling it if you're looking at your phone it won't actually dim the screen or turn off the phone while you're looking at it it senses that you are looking at the phone and it knows to keep it on with previous devices and with other phones in the market the phone say you're reading something or watching a video it may dim because it doesn't think that you're currently looking at your phone screen with this enabled whenever you're looking at your screen it'll make sure that it stays on and doesn't dim or turn off on you now if you need to set up face reset face id for any reason just click this button reset face id and it'll automatically go through the process again of setting up face id now the reason we didn't show you this at the beginning of the video how to set this up or how to set up the passcode initially is because apple should have actually walked you through this process so you just have to follow the steps that apple shows you in order to set up face id it's the same thing if you need to reset it click that button and apple will walk you through step by step the entire process to reset now it's the same thing for the passcode you can change your passcode and this is your written out passcode it could be a number it could also be a word type passcode or a combination both you can change this by clicking change passcode now take a look here you can also see what you're going to allow access will locked so this is the lock screen so right here as you can see what do you have access to while the phone is locked and you can change this right here at the bottom we do have to log back in again so let's say you don't want people to see your text messages when your phone is locked you can turn off today's view and recent notifications so that people won't be able to actually read your text message or read the notifications you have on your phone until you actually unlock the phone itself now one last thing i wanted to show you is requiring your passcode and when this is required if you click here you can have your passcode either required immediately or if you turn off face id there's other options as well where you don't need to your passcode immediately you could wait a few minutes or let it not automatically lock on you although when face id is turned on the only option is to always require your passcode so now we wanted to show you some functionality of the lock screen and also how you can change your wallpaper so first we'll show you the lock screen of course it unlocks when you look at at your phone if you swipe to the right like so it's going to actually pull up today's view now what this lets you do is of course see the time the date it shows you some app suggestions it shows your calendar what the next event is it shows you some app suggestions such as recent apps that you've opened of course we do have dosh there from earlier again i recommend getting that app it's amazing some other applications that we have and if we scroll down you can see we also have news we have weather it is really very much a live update of what's going on right now that's available very easily accessible right from the lock screen just swipe right and you access this screen now also if you want to search your phone just tap little search icon and you can look for whatever you're looking for right there from that search functionality now if we go back we can also swipe to the left which is going to bring up our camera app so we can start to take photos very quickly now not a lot of people know this you can go directly to the camera right from the lock screen just by swiping and that way you don't have to worry about going into your phone clicking on the camera app when you're trying to take an impromptu picture sometimes good pictures are very short notice so just turn on your phone with the side button and then swipe to the left and instantly access your camera just like that so we'll just go back now as we can see here you also have the ability to pull in control center from the top right and we're actually going to be going over control center next so stay tuned we'll show you how everything here works and if you want to access your camera again a different way is by 3d touching which is pressing a little bit harder on the camera icon same thing for the flashlight if you press a little bit harder it'll automatically turn on a flashlight just like that that can be incredibly useful just 3d touch on it again you just have to press a little bit harder and it'll automatically turn it back off so that is the lock screen now we're going to take a look at how you can change the lock screen wallpaper as well as the home screen wallpaper now this wallpaper right here this is the home screen and the lock screen is when your phone is turned on so just want to make that distinction now let's take a look at how you can change the wallpapers in your settings so here is how you can change the wallpaper on your iphone you're going to open up settings and then scroll down until you see wallpaper click on wallpaper and then as you can see you can choose a new wallpaper right up at the top now you can go through you can take a look at dynamic these are dynamic wallpapers they actually move just like so these are actually pretty cool or you can go through some of these other tabs such as stills live these are awesome if you take a look at these if you tap on them or for or 3d touch on them you can see that they actually move just like that those that's pretty cool there's also perspective mode as well and then there's still go back let's take a look and you can also scroll through all of your photos as well and find one there let's say you found a new photo that you like just tap on it click set and you can either choose to set it at your lock screen home screen or both lock screen again is the screen when you first turn on your phone the home screen is the screen you see behind all of your apps you can of course as well set it as both so you just hit set there and that would add that as your new wallpaper on your lock screen and home screen now we're going to show you how your control center works on your iphone again to access the control center you're going to swipe down from the top right just like so and as you can see here this has a variety of different icons we're going to go over each of these and then also how to customize your control center as well now in the first left hand corner you can see that we do have our airplane mode we also have cellular we have wi-fi and bluetooth now airplane mode allows you to turn off cellular wi-fi and bluetooth say you're on an airplane that's the mode that you're going to put it into now if you want to turn off wi-fi or turn on wi-fi you just press that button bluetooth same thing as well as cellular now you can also see the connectivity right at the top left as you can see verizon how many bars you have and then also wi-fi and how many bars you have as well at the top right you can see whether do not disturb and bluetooth or on as well as the battery and the battery percentage now right next to that you'll see a little control panel this is if you're watching youtube or listen to music you can hit play pause go forward go back it's a little easy access control panel for whatever app you're using that uses an audio functionality now for lock rotation which is this button right here what that means is it's going to lock it in portrait orientation so let's say that you are going into safari you want to read your phone and it happens to be tilted this way it's going to keep it still in portrait mode so it's going to keep everything straight up and down even if you turn it's not going to actually turn it so the best way to show you actually is in safari let's take a look at apple so this is without the mode enabled if we turn the phone as you can see the whole screen turns with it but if we enable oh yeah we scroll to swipe down again it takes some getting used to that it's now in the top right instead of from the bottom like it used to be the top right swipe down add port add portrait orientation lock and as you can see if we turn the phone it stays the same way just like that all right great so let's go back to the control center and turn that off right next to that is do not disturb so the reason i have this right now is because i'm making a video but if i was to turn off do not disturb i'll get any notifications coming to me and that means that i'll get phone calls i'll get text messages i'll get app notifications whatever it happens to be however if you have do not disturb on then what that means is you're not going to get notified either via visually which is right up at the top or via a sound or a buzz when you get a new text message so do not disturb is very useful if you're in a meeting you turn on do not disturb if you're doing something like you're driving you don't want to get distracted turn on do not disturb now right next to this as well we do have the brightness settings so you can turn that up or down depending on what you would like as well as the volume settings as well now here's another thing to note if you 3d touch on the brightness which is pressed a little bit harder you can also turn on and off true tone which takes in the background lighting around you and it adapts the tone to that so if it gets darker at night it's going to adapt the tone to have a little bit more softer colors you can also have night shift as well to turn this on that's an even more exaggerated version of that where it's going to help to protect your eyes at night so if you turn on night shift and you can also schedule this as well turn on until 7am as you can see it gets rid of some of the blues on the screen and this better helps your eyes adjust at night so that you're not getting that that blue light that can really make it hard to sleep so we're going to turn that off now and exit back out screen mirroring allows you to mirror the screen of your phone on a device such as on your laptop or if you're plugging it into a projector that type of thing of course we do have flashlight pretty self-explanatory there we have access to a timer calculator and of course the camera now we're going to show you how you can actually customize the control center and add really cool functionality like this which is a video recording feature for your iphone let's take a look at how to customize the control center you can customize the control center by going to settings and then clicking on control center now you also have the ability to access within apps or not so say you're playing games and you don't want you know touching the side of the screen to pull up the control center you can turn that off i always like to keep it on though but if we go to control or customize control center you can see here that you can remove some of the extra features and add all kinds of amazing things so we already added screen recording which allows you to record video of your screen it's really cool we also have all of these other abilities as well such as new do not disturb while driving this is a great feature so essentially when you enable this it means that when it's the phone senses that you're actually driving it's going to automatically send a text message to somebody who texts you and says i'll text you back when i get to my location so that's a cool feature you can add alarm in you can add low power mode there's all kinds of great things that you can add to your control center i recommend adding low power mode and do not disturb while driving there's a few other good ones as well but those are the ones i recommend right now so as you can see when you turn on do not disturb while driving um you're not going to receive notifications while you're driving and it's also going to text your your friends if they text you and let them know that you're driving you'll text them back when you get to your location again alarm there's also recording your screen and then low power mode is one i really recommend adding here because what that is going to allow you to do is when you turn it on it's going to save your battery life by getting rid of some of the the kind of more minor features that are available on your phone but take up a lot of battery so if you turn on low power mode that's going to save some of your battery life that's a great additional widget to add but anyways you can explore a little bit and see the different customization that you can add to the control center it's a little bit about exploring so i recommend taking a look at those different functionality right there in the settings adding things that look interesting to you and seeing how they work now we're going to show you how you can use siri on your iphone now there's a lot you can do a series there's too much to show you in this video or in this clip that is however i'm actually going to also show you a really cool way that you can find additional things you can ask siri very easily so how to access siri you can either press and hold on the side button like so and then just say your command and close it again by pressing the side button again or you can say hey siri and as you can see it pops up just like that now i'll show you a couple of examples but then i'll also show you how you can discover your own and get a really good resource for seeing what you can ask siri it's a lot of fun to explore so i recommend just trying new things and seeing what works but anyways here's an example what's the weather like in boston here's the forecast for boston for today as you can see it gives you the forecast for boston right here with siri so another thing that you can ask is send a text message to tristan what do you want to say hello ready to send it send i'll send it there you go and that comes in a lot of handy if you need to send somebody a quick test text message and you want to dictate what it says this also works well if you're driving because obviously you don't want to you can't text you know while driving you want to um say the words verbally and it will add it and automatically send it to whomever you're trying to send to so those are just a great a couple of great examples of what you can do with siri but here's what i recommend asking siri to see all kinds of things that you can ask her this question follow along what can i ask you all you have to do is ask siri what can i ask you and then as you can see here it gives you a lot of suggestions such as you know under phone call such and such call different numbers under face time you know face time different people apps you can even say launch photos it's going to launch that app if you scroll down here you can see messages you can say tell susan i'll be right there send a message to brian all kinds of different things with calendar you can set up meeting events you can change events if you scroll down you can this is really cool you can actually translate things with siri so you can say translate say something and then say to french or to spanish it'll automatically do it sports you can ask if your favorite team one photos you can see you know show me all my photos from the other day go to camera you can scan qr codes take pictures maps give directions home scroll down here you can see you know restaurants you can have it even book reservations look up different opening times movies and tv shows you can find you know thrillers all kinds of different things music you can have it play certain types of music reminders you can set a reminder remind me to to call home or call mom whatever it happens to be you can have it send emails check the weather check stock prices check you know actually this is a great one you can say set an alarm for x time so 6 30 a.m it'll automatically set an alarm in your um on your phone contacts you can ask what somebody's address is you know where's brian for find my friends add notes so say note that i need to pay somebody back ten dollars whatever it happens to be settings you can turn on airplane mode you can search the web you can ask siri questions such as you know how many ounces are in a liter when is mardi gras all those different things books and podcasts there's all kinds of amazing things you can do and i know i said i wasn't going to go over all of them and trust me that doesn't even scratch the surface but this gives you a really good starting point so all you have to do is ask siri what can i ask you it'll pop up with this list and you can explore and try new things with siri so now we're going to show you how you can use imessage and even the new animoji on your iphone 10. so of course go into the messages app and you're going to be able to click on the person that you're looking to send a message to now if you do want to send a new message just click compose new message right up here at the top right now of course you can tap on imessage or text message type as usual so you can say something like hello just like that hit send or if you want to dictate a message then what you can do is you can use the dictate button at the bottom of your keyboard watch this hi this is a dictate message okay and then just click send that that's a dictated message that you can send um and it's actually very good siri is very good at picking up what you're trying to say and actually having it translated into a text message now if you want to send an emoji just click on the bottom left area right here and as you can see there's all kinds of great emojis that you can send smiley face and thumbs up for instance now siri will also predict what you want to say next so if you take a look at this top bar up here it gives you some suggestions of words like hi thanks i um and as you type it'll let you auto fill in sentences now here comes the really cool part beyond just regular typing which you can of course do right here you can also of course send pictures so you click that button and you can upload or take pictures but the really cool part is right here in the apps so there's a few different things that you can do there's all kinds of different apps you can go to the app store for imessage for different additional ones you can find gifs here so all you have to do is search so you know something like happy and you can find some cool gifts that you might want to add if you go here you can do animoji which we'll show you how to do in just a second this is brand new this is amazing digital touch allows you to draw like so and send drawing messages like that music lets you share music and um youtube allows you to share uh youtube videos but if we go back to animoji i wanted to show you how this works because this is really cool all right so what you have to do is line up your face and bring your face into view just like so there we go so now actually i have to just turn this a little bit because it's a little bit difficult okay cool here we go so now an emoji is actually going to track your face like so so watch this hi this is an animoji it's fun and exciting to use and very easy just like that hi this is an animoji it's fun and exciting to use and very easy so as you can see it mimics your face what you're saying and you can just hit send now obviously i didn't put too much thought into that one but you can get really creative here there's all kinds of different animojis that you can have access to from cats to dogs to pandas it's really fun and exciting to use especially if you're just trying to get out of boring text messages and try something new alright and one last thing i did want to show you as well is if you're trying to send a text such as you know let's celebrate or something like that if something's exciting if you 3d touch on the send you can actually send it with different effects so for instance slam where it slams in loud where it you know pulls up or these screen effects where you know for instance it pops up with a lot of the different ones there's a spotlight there is confetti this is perfect so if we send that let's celebrate and it'll actually send confetti to them as well just like that confetti will rain down on their imessage so that's how you can use imessage and animoji to have a lot of fun i recommend experimenting around seeing what works but it can really spice up some of your conversations and make them more exciting and fun now we're going to be showing you some of the other apps that come installed on your iphone 10. we're going to be showing you each of them but i recommend experimenting with them yourself so you can really see how they work now first of course we of course have mail we already showed you that calendar allows you to add calendar events into your phone just tap on a day or click plus and you can add a new event you can choose the time that it starts this can also sync with your google calendar as well in your settings to make sure that all of your events are available photos will show you all the photos that you've taken with your phone you can scroll through them and see them now camera this is where i want to point some things out so of course you have a regular photo right here with your camera you just need to either press the big white button at the bottom which is the camera button of course turn your phone around for landscape photos now you can also use the volume up button to take photos as well so if you want to hold your phone like this you can use volume up and snap the photo now there are a few different features at the top you can turn on and off flash or keep it on auto you also have the ability to turn on uh turn on and off hdr photos so depending on the quality that you're really looking for you can also turn on a timer as well so if you want to set up your phone or or have it on a stand go to the top right you can also add different filters so depending on the type of filter you're looking for you can add filters right as you're taking it like warm dramatic there's a lot of different ones to kind of play with and choose choose from right there to close that now in addition to this you also have the ability to zoom in and out just by pinching your fingers like so you can zoom in and out and change the focus point of your photo just by tapping on where you'd like your camera to focus then just of course take the picture like so now if you want to take a selfie and turn it around you're just going to tap this button at the bottom right and that will turn around the camera to face you now if you swipe over you can access video and this is where you can actually take a video with your phone of course you know you can turn it to landscape you can record a video just like this and just hit again once it's done slow motion video is great for sports those types of things time lapse if you turn this on it'll take an amount of photos over time and you can stitch them together you also have portrait mode which is going to allow you to make your photos look a little bit better they'll pop a little bit this is brand new with the iphone so you can go through you can see you know studio lighting contour lighting stage lighting it's really fun to kind of experiment with this and this is more designed if you're taking a selfie or a photo of someone you can change the lighting effects to make it look very good we have square for instagram and then panoramic where you can start a photo turn the camera like so and it'll stitch it all together as one big panoramic photo so that's the photos application or the camera application next we have the maps application where all you have to do is search for an address click go and it'll give you step-by-step directions just like a gps you also have the clock app where you can see the time in different locations you can set alarms just by going to alarms and tapping add alarm you can even have these alarms repeat as well so say you wanted to get up at the same time every weekday or every monday you can set that you can change the sound you can even choose whether you know whether or not you want snooze to be an option and this is particularly valuable now that face id is how you unlock your phone because if you turn off snooze you have to look straight at your phone in order to turn it off no more you know reaching the side of your bed and uh trying to tap the students button with your hand so that can make sure that you wake up as well it's a cool feature um in addition to this we have bedtime now what this does is it keeps track of your the time that you go to bed and sets your wake up alarm um and gives you a reminder so really what this is is to really track your sleep make sure that you sleep the right amount each night and set up an alarm that's going to kind of correspond with that now the stopwatch allows you to you know obviously act like a regular stopwatch start stop reset whatever you need to do and then the timer works very well if you're cooking food and need to keep track of that all right so for weather this will show you the weather in the current location that you're in it'll of course give you um the current weather give you the the days ahead weather the highs and lows news will show you the latest trending stories at this point in time home allows you to connect any smart lights smart locks any smart technology that you happen to have in your home now notes this is really cool you can keep track of what you're thinking just by typing in notes so you know this is a note and it'll add all of these saved to your notes section on your phone now you can also draw on these notes as well so you can keep track of whatever you're you're thinking about you can jot down lists say for instance a grocery list whatever it happens to be and then just click done and then the note is waiting for you right there on your phone now stocks of course very self-explanatory it lets you track you know whatever stocks you're invested in check the open high low volume all the different things that you're trying to track in your stock portfolio reminders allows you to save reminders for yourself i do have some set so i'm not going to go into there right now but you can add a brand new reminder you can say you know remind me at 5 pm to start cooking dinner something along those lines there's the tv app app store we'll get into later itunes stores for music ibooks you can read any kind of digital ebooks that you have on your phone the health app allows you to track your fitness over time you can also add in a medical id which i recommend doing as well if you have allergies or some kind of medical condition you can add that in there and that way if somebody finds you you in a situation you have your phone you can just show them your medical id apple wallet of course has stored in it your um your credit card numbers so that you can easily just use your credit card when you're tapping um your phone on one of those credit card terminals now again i also recommend of course getting dosh we showed you how to get this earlier in the video so that when you do use that credit card at those locations you're going to earn that cash back so that's bit.leaseless use dosh just want to mention again now that we're going through the wallet settings we'll dive into a little bit later but this has everything that you might need to change or want to change with your iphone

but of course youtube's great for watching all kinds of videos we already went over the phone safari messages music allows you of course to listen to your music library that you have synced from

them podcasts allows you to listen to your favorite podcasts the calculator app allows you to do simple calculations and a pro tip is actually if you turn it on its side like so you'll get a more

iphone which we'll show you how to do a little bit later on that way if you ever lose your iphone you can easily keep track of it and discover it again and mark it as lost all right so that's just a quick overview of all the stock apps on your phone i do recommend exploring trying it out for yourself but this should be at least a baseline of how each app works and then you can really dive into it on your own time as well now we're going to show you some how you can actually download additional apps for your phone in the app store let's take a look so now we're going to show you how you can use the app store to download additional apps for your device so you're going to go directly into the app store right here and as you can see you can scroll through some suggested applications you can go

and just redeem your first cashback rebate enjoy now we're going to show you how you can organize your apps on your iphone so in order to access organizing just press and hold on an app icon and as you can see here it'll put them into wiggle mode just like this now to move them around just press and drag and you can move to different locations just like so now you can also move things in and out of your dock like let's say you want your mail application to be at the dock at the bottom of your screen you can just drag it down and then click done and now the mail application is right there at the bottom on every screen easily accessible now if we go into that mode again by pressing and holding we can also delete apps that we don't want now i'm not actually going to do this right now because i do like all the different apps that i have however if you were to delete an application you just click the little x x box and that's going to delete the application itself then click done in order to finalize your changes now one last thing if you want to put some of your apps together in a folder just drag one app onto another app and it will create a folder for you if you take a look here you can also change the name to settings to youtube plus settings whatever you want these usually wouldn't be looped together and to take it out just pull it right outside of that folder and that will bring it back to normal so i just wanted to show you quickly how you can rearrange your apps put them into folders and also delete them if you'd like to finish out our video we wanted to show you some of the settings that you can change and adjust for your iphone now there's a lot of settings in your iphone 10 so i recommend taking a look and seeing what you're interested in changing however we're going to do kind of a brief overview show you some of the things that are possible but there's a lot more than we have time to get to today so i still recommend going in and trying it for yourself but anyways we're going to show you some of the top ones that you should change now right at the top here you will see your name along with your apple id icloud itunes and app store if you're to click on that you're going to be able to reset your apple id change things about icloud and how it uploads so there's some different things relevant to your personal account now underneath this you're going to see airplane mode wi-fi bluetooth and cellular these are all things that you can access from the control center as well they're also conveniently located here in the settings app now here's where we get into some interesting things such as notification so if we click on notifications you can see when you want previews to be shown and this is actually very interesting because this means that if you have your phone just like this it won't show previews until it's unlocked it won't show text messages that just came in i recommend having show previews when unlocked because that means you have to look at your phone in order to see the previews not somebody else that prevents people from snooping you used to have if you had notifications enabled and a notification popped up on your screen and it's not unlocked yet anybody looking at your phone can see it but now the notifications won't appear until you look at your phone and unlock it so i recommend keeping that with when unlocked it might be a different setting so i recommend changing that to when unlocked now if you scroll down here you can take a look at each individual app and you can change the settings for the notifications let's take a look at the app store as you can see here you can choose whether or not you want any notifications at all notifications of course is what pops up shows you know what what each app is trying to tell you such as there's an update available somebody's texted you that type of thing badge app icon is the counter next to um the application that shows you you know if there's unread messages in imessage if there are updates in the app store that's the icon you can turn these off individually you can also choose whether you want this on the lock screen in your history or even to show as banners and banners of course pop up like this right as you're using your device now temporary is the default where they pop up and then they instantly close themselves persistent means that they're actually going to stay on the screen until you manually dismiss them by swiping up now that could be used if you want to make sure that any text messages or emails that are important you can make sure that those go to persistent to make sure that when they pop up you actually acknowledge them and they don't just disappear on their own so that's the notification app we already showed you how control center worked where you can customize control center at one of the earlier sections of this video now do not disturb i recommend enabling this because of course this means that when you turn on do not disturb um from your control center and actually enabling it is turning it off from the control center as well excuse me there so you turn on do not disturb when you don't want to receive calls or texts and have it buzz your phone or give an alert or have a ringtone on your phone you can't be disturbed during that period of time now another cool thing here is you can also schedule as well so let's say you don't want to be disturbed during your bedtime you can change this you know to whenever you go to bed and when you wake up in the morning and that way you won't actually get notifications or ringtones playing when you are asleep now you can see here if you want it to silence always or when your phone is locked i chose always because if i'm doing something on my phone that's important i to turn on do not disturb i still don't want those messages coming through so i recommend changing that to always unless you only want it to be when your phone's unlocked now here's a really cool feature you can allow calls from your favorites list so if you add people your favorites which he showed you how to do earlier by adding people from your contacts in the phone app you can make sure that those calls actually do go through to your phone even when do not disturb is on so you can do this for your spouse you can do this for your kids you can do this for your best friend or business partner whatever it happens to be to make sure that their calls actually go through now another thing i recommend turning on is repeated calls so if somebody calls you twice in three minutes then it's actually going to push that call through it's something that's important and that is a useful feature because if somebody's trying to contact you in an emergency you do probably want to be notified by that and again do not disturb while driving you can turn this on to automatic so you can have this always turn on while you're driving or you can have it be manually which means you have to turn on do not disturb while driving right from the control center as you usually would with regular do not disturb next we have some more settings if we go to general you can see that there's software update so you can make sure that your iphone's always up to date if there's another update to install you just click install and it will add it to your phone there's a few additional ones here as well but i wanted to point out iphone storage now iphone storage shows you all of the different apps that are on your phone how much space they're taking up and allows you to get rid of them if they're not useful say for instance garageband that's 1.69 gigabytes we can delete the app right from here to free up that space on your phone so this is a good way of seeing what's taking up the most space on your device now if you exit out of there you can also see in here as well there's ways you can customize the keyboard there's also restrictions so if this is a phone for your kids you can enable restrictions for certain things in here as well if you don't want them to have in-app purchases different things along those lines now if we go back out you can see that there's also display and brightness now this has regular display settings but another great feature to take a look at is the um is down here which is the text size so if you need the text size on your phone to be a little bit larger you can actually just slide the slider and all the text on your phone will change which is a really great feature if you need that for your eyesight same thing with bold text you can incorporate that as well now with auto lock this is something actually going to change myself it's set for 30 seconds of no activity and the phone will automatically turn off and lock i'm actually going to change that to a minute but you can do anywhere from 30 seconds to five minutes to never i wouldn't recommend never because then your phone could stay on forever and or not forever but your phone could stay on until the battery dies and that's not good so i'd recommend somewhere between 30 seconds to five minutes anywhere there works um i like to keep it around a minute to three minutes but especially now with the face id recognition we told you about earlier actually a shorter time is pretty good because it means that it's always trying to see when you're looking at it and it starts counting from the minute you look away all right so we go back here you can see that that was display and brightness we already showed you the wallpaper and how that worked earlier on in this video now sound and haptics this allows you to change your ringtone change your text tone you can add your own type of ringtone for favorites for specific people in here as well there's some cool features to play around with now there are some series settings you can actually change siri to a different voice to a male voice if you would like you can also change you
