Happy Wednesday, everybody. I want to share some tips on what you will want to disable on your i-phone if you haven't already. When I was going through and doing my research for the show tomorrow, stumbled across this. and I was not aware that these two items should be turned off and it all stemmed Well just let you know.

I will include it on the yellow sticky page. So it's one of those things that you really want to do and make sure you do each time if you update, change bones, that type of thing. And you'll find the posting down below. Also, but I was doing the research, and I came across this post, and I follow this group, this guy, and it was really, you know, in their, in their mind. It was security experts have always advise to turn these two options off. So I'm gonna show you how to go ahead and do that. I'll include this Twitter post, so you can have, if you'd like. But first thing you're gonna want to do is log into your phone under settings, and then keep on scrolling down.

And you'll get to privacy and security.
1:12
Click on Privacy and security, and go to Location Services.
1:18
When you get to Location Services, click on that, and then you'll get to all these different location services, Scroll down to the bottom and clicked Gone.
1:31
System Services.
1:33
When you get to System Services, these are the two things that you're going to want to turn off significant locations and i-phone Analytics.

There's a lot of settings in the iOS now. So, you know, knowing all of these is really helpful. So we're going to first click on significant locations.
1:52
And when you click on that, you'll get to this page. And what you want to do is turn it off.
1:59
And as you can see, there's 346 records for, for me, my home.
2:06
And and this is when your phone knows that you go from your home to, let's say, Costco or another store. And it says, Do you want to go and, you know, five minutes till there? So, this is going to be where you disable it. But it was kind of disturbing that there were 346 records. So, you know, that, that's a lot, that's keeping track. So you're not just gonna want to turn it off.
2:31
You're also going to want to scroll down to the bottom and clear the history and clearing that history will kill all these records. And once you do that, you'll see that all the records go to none. Then you'll hit the back button.
2:47
And let's turn off or disable the next setting, which is the i-phone analytics, and this one, you just click this button, and turn it so it's gray instead of green, and that will disable it.
3:02
So, those are the two settings that you want to make sure that you have disabled on your phone, and that way it'll keep you a little bit more private. Thanks a lot, everybody!

Have a great day.
