11 iPhone Settings Apple Buried
Your iPhone has been quietly keeping a list of every place you've been, complete with dates — and it's buried five menus deep behind Face ID. In this video I walk through that setting and a bunch of other hidden iPhone settings Apple doesn't put front and center. We cover Per-App Settings in Accessibility (change font size, bold text, and transparency for just one app), Smart Invert to force a dark mode experience in apps like Amazon that don't support it, Adaptive Power and why it's now on by default on the iPhone 17 lineup, call screening and silencing unknown callers to stop spam calls for good, and filtering unknown senders in Messages so spam texts land in their own list.
We also get into keyboard haptics in Sound & Haptics, Haptic Touch speed to make your iPhone feel faster, Camera Preserve Settings so your camera stops resetting to photo mode, Liquid Glass controls in iOS 26 and the new slider in iOS 27, the Music app EQ for more bass and clearer vocals, built-in Background Sounds like rain and airplane noise for focus and sleep, and finally Significant Locations & Routes — how to see your iPhone's location history, clear it, and turn it off. Whether you're on an iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 16, or the new iPhone 17, these iOS tips and hidden iPhone settings are worth checking today.
