sadly no, it defaults to the data being included, which for a company constantly saying how they are pro-privacy is attrocious 🙁((

I set vibration patterns for my contacts. What puzzles me is that my wife’s iPhone automatically sets vibration patterns based on the ringtones she’s chosen. I wonder if that’s because she uses Apple’s stock ringtones whereas I create my own ringtones.

TBF, there are new iPhone users (and MR members) all the time, so I expect all levels of knowledge in the crowd. Even with long-time users, most won’t explore and read about all the ins and outs of every feature. Whenever MR posts this type of article I find I do know about most of it, but always find something I had not explored.

This is still in beta and quite erratic in my experience. Sometimes it’ll log a place I visited for 15 minutes, sometimes it will miss a known location I was at for a full 3.5 hours. If you’re going to cite it as a “feature” you should note that it’s in beta and can’t really be relied on as a log of where you’ve been.

I'm what you would call a power iPhone user. I learned several things I didn't know with these. I don't have time to read through all the documentation about every feature on the phone. I'd be highly surprised if many people know everything about every possible phone feature.

Really? Well if you know so much, tell us more … Hahaha.

Do you have this option on the top right when you take a screenshot?

Pretty sure many of these tips and tricks type things aren't even documented.
And even when they are, the interface has become overly complex trying to be overly simple.
I knew about location sharing and saw the warning that location is included but never thought to tap that tiny "options" text.

Nice Tips, as always - keep them coming. I totally forgot about the back tap gesture.
I remember, there once was a long article containing lots of those tricks in one place. Maybe a permanent section with a regularly updated collection (not spread over multiple articles, the comments and the forum) would be a nice feature for the macrumors-site?

“as civilized people do”. Wow, where did that come from Macrumors? GenZ editor typed the article?
You guys remove the location of the images you are sending? If I am sending a picture, it's not like the location is a secret lol

I enjoy these types of articles since I'm not all that up a lot of the tricks. Or I'll see them a year ago but never use them and they quickly fade from my memory.
GooPPLE … what a shame they couldn’t develop an AI for the rest of us and had to ask data kraken instead. what a shame.

Wow this was one of the best Mac rumors articles I've ever read
Used the "hide app page" method to hide 12 full pages of apps - and my phone is clean with only 2 pages!
Front page, which I use, and last page, which I also use for development apps and so on
The middle pages, I never use, I always use spotlight to find any apps... the apps are a mess and I am too lazy / unmotivated to spend hours dragging things into folders and so on...
Hide app page is exactly what I never knew I wanted.
So cool. Clean in less than 5 seconds!

Literally useful for about 10k people. Widget/app creep in lieu of better UX is upon us again.
You know what'd be useful for most people? A search keyboard properly UX'ed and number row.

Amen. To quote my profession, no matter how much seminary training you get, never forget to preach to the person who just walked in and sits in the back pew.

how did you even figure this one out?
assume anything that says Google, Meta, Microsoft is seeing and recording everything you do. So is any other "free" service.

Another "secret" trick is that if you have a page, select Print, and then on the small print preview, do a two finger reverse pinch outwards, it bring you to a full page print preview, that you can then save to files or email as a PDF. Very useful.
