id never buy apple. they are so anti consumer they deserve to go out of business.
My phone doesn’t have the small print to click on
@xxPYROxx how lol 😂
you lost me at fingerprint
Never seen it never will.
Underrated, actually didn’t know about this
👍🏻👍🏻
Fr
How old are you?
💀 why?
You’ve never turned your phone off? Lol
2nd option is only available on iPhones with the U1 chip, starting with the iPhone 11
I have XS Max and don’t have it and my girl has the 13 pro and she don’t have it…
@Billy Lloyd well an XS max is part of the X line, which comes before 11
And what about the 13 pro?? It don’t work on that either and I believe the 13 came after the 11 unless I’m wrong 🤡🤣🖕🏼🫵🏼
@Billy Lloyd you are indeed wrong. The 13 was released in April of 2021 and the eleven was released 4 months later in August. Glad I could help
@Alex G i have the iphone 12 and i have this option, not in the US
So instead of forcing someone to use your fingerprint to unlock your phone, they're going to instead force you to put the passcode in.
Yeah, Rubber Hose cryptography. Just beat the guy until he gives you the encryption key.
But still, it's much easier to force someone to look at the camera or to force their thumb on the screen, no matter how hard they're fighting you. But to make someone give you a passcode is not as guaranteed.
(There should be the option to have a panic code. A second passcode that calls emergency services, or deletes all the data on the phone, whenever used)
@Jeffrey Doyletechnically iOS has that… wrong code x amount of times…. Phones wiped
@Yung Azn yeah, that's fairly close. It serves the same purpose in most cases, except if you're held against your will. You still have to give your kidnappers multiple wrong codes (probably with escalating torture) before your data is safe, instead of a single wipe code.
Cheers, I had totally forgot about that feature!
Magnus Celes Good catch. I reversed Google Searched it, and it's actually a MAP Flag with an icon of a Wood Chipper on top of it. So I believe it's a message that I agree with.
They may not be allowed to if it's the police or something. Codes and biometric data is protected differently by law in many countries.
Another bit of trivia. A warrant can compel you to use biometrics you unlock your device. However, due to the 5th amendment a warrant cannot compel you to use your pin to unlock your phone. The 5th amendment protects what you know, not who you are from being used against you. In short, if you are ever arrested, always do this to disable biometrics to prevent your phone from being searched even with a warrant.
What’s the point all they have to do is plug it into there computer at the jail and by default the fone will trust the usb linked computer
@coopachewiPhones require a password whenever it is connected to a computer it has not been told to trust
@coopachew i dont think iPhones can be unlocked that easily… or maybe I’m just biased, but doesnt Apple’s closed Ecosystem prevent their devices from being breached from outside systems easily?
@Mark Albarracin if a pin was set as an alternative unlocking method, usually takes a few hours to crack it open. iPhones are not closed off. Plug it in, dump bits of the software and viola.
@Henry Jr. Watsson yeah, of course if someone tried hard enough you’d be able to breach it, but in this context where the police do it, i dont think that’s legal, especially with how tampering with the software closes so many doors for your Phone as per terms and conditions violations, which the police will be liable for breaking them
There’s actually an app called Parachute that once it’s activated turns on both front and back cameras, 360 degree Omni mic, sends text and voice messages to preconfigured numbers, and broadcasts your GPS location. The screen is locked and blacked out. Location, audio, and video are continuously broadcast for real-time and historical tracking. If battery dies it will come back broadcasting once power is reapplied. Same if no signal. Will just record until signal then upload everything.
Thank you for the info. I just downloaded the app in case of emergencies. Such a genius safety app that it feels like Apple should add it to the setting permanently.
@ToniDamnation Yea this is something Samsung has
@Streetspeed92 nobody cares
What it call for Androids
What the name for Samsung
Most Samsung phones also have a feature to lock out biometrics called "lockdown mode" which can be accessed by holding down the power button for a few seconds. Also useful for the same situation.
How in the world did 50 people give you a like but no one commented that you are a baiter
Haha yeah
@Adrian No, I am not a bot/baiter. If I was, trust me, I would have 1k+ subs now, not 48. Sometimes the Clip-Share algorithm works in mysterious ways. Just trying to help those that are caught in an unfortunate situation and that don't have an iPhone.
@Adrianconfused as to how you came to that conclusion?
Cant go a day without comparing stuff cant we ?
My take away: Your phone is tracking you even when it's turned "off".
It isn't just service from your carrier that can be tracked on a phone. wireless signals, including cellular, GPS, RFID/NFC, Bluetooth, Wifi, wireless, EMF radiation, electromagnetic pulse (EMP), and solar flares all can be tracked. Additionally the feature on the iPhone doesn't block half of these. A decent Faraday bag will. I'd recommend go dark.
There is a interview on youtube of ex SAS or Navy Seal and he describes how they used to track terrorists phones in Afghanistan even when their phones were off.
And, how does stopping gps tracking help you, when u've lost ur phone ??
Is it not supposed to. How would you find your phone if stolen otherwise
A kidnapper watching this**
"Very smart very smart"
Shoots hostage in the leg**
Edit:Mom come see real quick so many likes😭
The cool thing is that police in my country doesn't usually do that
@sparschäler I aint talkin bout the police
Probably they don't do that much research. Ever seen a criminal pushing the door when they enter a shop to do the same when they exiting? When commuting crime the mind doesn't process everything or reason as much as you would like to think.
… you can still turn off your phone or whatever 🤦🏽♀️
CORRECTION... even when your battery is dead, the phone is still listening, transmitting and tracking you... in passive mode,, for up to a week
Scaryyy
@Pencinta🏳️🌈⃠ It much worse than you know.
Source?
how is that possible
What is this comment💀
To transfer the data it needs networking capabilities which it does not have when it’s dead. It communicated to other apple devices in the find my network to figure out the location. This is the same way AirTags work and that’s why AirTags use very little battery. If it “listens to you” then your battery would only last for a few minutes, not weeks. The o my way it lasts weeks is by rationing the battery power by communicating to other iOS devices by asking it where I am and the other iOS device will send that info to find my.
We have a weird law about phones here in Sweden where this feature would be useful.
Police are not allowed to force someone to input their pass code to unlock their phone, but they can forcefully open your phone with biometrics.
So just disable the biometrics briefly and the men in blue can't access your phone.
Or just do what I did, which is registering the head of my penis as my 'finger print' which means that if I ever accidentally end up in trouble so the po po wants what's in my phone, would they have to force themselves onto my nether regions which in turn would mean that they just made themselves guilty for some sexual assault.
I like where you head is at.
Does it even work with the tip?
@Ruben Debbarma maybe he has a big tip 🤷🏻♀️🤣🤣🤣
I thought Sweden was so safe you didn’t have any crime!!!
😂😂😂
It also has a cool little feature called spying on you😂
What are you talking about☠️
As if anyone cares enough to spy on us. 😂
“This might be useful if anyone ever tries to force you into unlocking your phone” yeah, like law enforcement trying to break into the phone with designated tools
There’s no such thing for an Apple device
@Ilya Glazunov not completely true
@Ilya Glazunov Please tell me you are joking 💀💀 if Pegasus exists, then someone else has also found a way to break into iPhones.
@Ilya Glazunov keep that ignorance. There absolutely is a backdoor for iphones 😂😂😂
And even worse, every first world nation is working on passing a bill that will make it illegal to encrypt anything, which will open that backdoor even wider.
If someone is forcing me, he'll get the passcode as well 😂😂😂
It can be the police they are allowed to unlock phone using Face ID but not passcode
If someone tries using your face to open your iPhone you can actually say “hey siri, who’s phone is this” and it will require you to input your code
Nope. Just tried it. It didn’t work 🤣
Or don't look. It only opens if your eyes are looking near you phone
Worked on mine.
@¡ i ¡ worked for me
@¡ i ¡Just tried it, first time looking at and the second time with my phone point away from me. The first time it didn’t work, the second time it did work. So don’t look at your phone if you want it to work.
There was a video where a man said "I don't know how many of you still have that ... app on your phone, but it ... actually monitors everything that you do. Even when the phone is turned off, it is monitoring"
Obviously people called him crazy, and I do love a good vindication story.
And
If you know
In some states, police can use fingerprint Id or Face ID to open your phone but not the passcode
Sooo
Also good tip
Make them guess which finger you trained it with.
@GlueC make them guess which face you trained it with
Use one of your toes for finger print, they’ll never guess that! 😂 Also if they have your phone and try to unlock it by pointing it at you, close your eyes and say”Hey Siri, who’s iphone is this?” (Even if ‘hey siri’ is disabled) The phone will disable face id and passcode will have to be entered.
Yeah and when they take your phone and get into we'll say "magically" you gonna feel real dumb.
Here’s another tip, another way to disable biometric login is to say “hey siri, who’s phone is this?” And he will say I don’t know who this phone belongs to and then you need to enter passcode.
Your phone is always sending tracking signals even when it’s off.
Those can only be seen by apple, not the user
hes gonna be pistol whipping me while im pretending i cant get in my phone
Hmm.. if someone force you to unlock, will force you to enter the passcode too...
In emergency situation why would you want to disable tracking info send at all
About the face id thingy wellp we all know that one annoying friend and about the tracking well your probably turning your phone off at home to charge faster so why do you need location data…. And there you go
this would work in the US with law enforcement, they can force you to face ID or to use a fingerprint but cannot force you to reveal a password
It disconnected my earbuds now my dog is awake 😐
Is there a way I can force to keep location enabled on the phone. Regardless if someone tries to turn it off.
I’m thinking If someone takes the phone forcefully. And then they can be tracked.
The iPhone‘s Code is necessary to turn off Find My
Was wondering the same. How do you disable that feature. Power off and not track is really not something I want.
One of the most major security flaws of the iPhone is the passcode if someone obtains your passcode it is a gateway to everything.
If you ever forced to open your phone against your will use any other way than the passcode !
Once your passcode is compromised the user can change the Face ID. Once the Face ID is compromised the user can gain easy access to the Apps that use Face ID like banking apps.
If the SIM in the phone has not been blocked the user can receive the SMS that is often sent as a secondary security measure. Street thieves watch for people entering the passcode into there iPhone, using reflective surfaces around them to obtain this information.
It’s not really about intelligence, dolphins are intelligent it’s about awareness and how Apple know this is a fundamental flaw in the iPhone, but do nothing about it.
Isn’t it the same with Android?
First of all, there is no such thing like 100% security. Secondly, this has nothing to do with the iPhone but with your intelligence. Thirdly, you use a passphrase instead of a convenient password.
Man just taught how to cheat on your partner
If you know it, it isn't secret.
YOU CAN NEVER EVER TURN OFF IPHONE TRACKING. THEY JUST BLOCK YOU FROM SEEING IT, SILLY
The only security feature mine has is dimming the damn screen to zero every time it gets 2 degrees warmer
ah yes, the police custody mode
People really need to start watching WWDC. Apple tells you all the new features in new iOS updates.
And for more advanced notes, you can attend the self serve workshops where they’ll tell you everything the new update can do.
The next WWDC is in June 2023
😂
It's a good idea, because if someone murders somebody, the murderer can still use the deceased fingerprints to access the phone!
Depends who wants your phone because law enforcement and presumably hackers can unlock an iPhone regardless like they did when apple “wouldn’t unlock a shooters phone” in reality apple probably unlocked it
The problem with secret security features is, if they’re secret then you’ve failed entirely to make them useful or memorable. Apple really are useless sometimes
This is actually quite commonly known… at least the first one, the one about turning off tracking is completely fake
The same phone that takes your picture without you knowing
Me thinking of using it when I want to sleep so my brother doesn't unlock my phone when I'm asleep 💀
THIS IS FANTASTIC.
All of the garbage shorts I kept watching were worth it. I’ve always wanted this feature in the back of my mind and now I know I just have it.
Thank you for the quality content
Mine but be off or something, it doesn't give me that option
You might need to update to the latest iOS version.
Turn on bluetooth, try again
Gonna usa this when my wife jumps to check my phone
Here's a security feature that is specific to Apple. If someone gets into your phone with your PIN; they can literally hijack everything associated with your Apple ID, including your banking apps, email, and your Apple ID itself.
Wow! I thought you were talking about a security feature...
Not true, many apps use Face ID or Touch ID to verify your identity. Nice try though
or you can say “hey siri, whos phone is this?” and that will force it to do the password
Does not work for me though. iPhone 13 Pro Max for me
There’s actually 5 things that happen. If you have a medical ID set up it will also pop up on this screen.
Honestly I think the only reason someone would want to turn off the tracker is when they stole it
If they can force you to do the first bit, surely they can force you to give the pass code
THE U1 CHIP IS NOT ON EVERY SINGLE IPHONE SO YOU CANNOT DO THE SECOND OPTION…
On newer phones you can also do vol +, vol -, hold power (in that order)
On my iPhone 14 it still works to hold either volume buttons & off button and that screen appears plus the up/down vol and then off button.
But the up/dwn then off button just lets you turn it off including the tracking but doesn’t show the medical ID button or the SOS Emergency call button.
Jokes on you I don’t have a password or a thumb print
congrats?
Apple forces people to erase their own phone if they forget the password. Worst idea ever.
For others out there inform them about samsung security
I knew about this but i never thought that it would be useful in certain situations actually blew my mind😂
Just a PSA, law enforcement do not require a warrant to open your phone using biometrics only passwords and codes are protected under 4th amendment rights.
Thanks for teaching me this trick.
Does android 12 have such a feature
I’m not sure.
No androids do not have the option of even tracking your phone while it is offline so i guess it is always on??
Fun fact: The police located my missing teenage niece by locating her iPhone that he said was turned off, we could hear her talking and see the ceiling of the room she was in. He then remotely turned her phone on and sent her a text. He also says there's another device nearby and identified it's owner and sent him a text as well saying (she's only 16). Within 15 mins he kicked her out of his car in front of her house and sped away. I wouldn't believe it if I hadn't seen it.
I accidentally called emergency services
Good to know to protect against corrupt cops
Or u could just say hey Siri who's phone is this and it will lock
Do this if someone is forcing you.
Unless that’s your girlfriend.
I don’t have the words under the slide to power off. “Iphone finds something”
I’ve known this for a long time and yet never thought about it. But you’re 100% correct
Ever wonder why your phone takes forever to turn off? It’s because it’s running processes in the background
The hard shut down does it instantly
After one of my colleagues was forced by a thief to open their phones banking app when he held her phone in front of her face, she lost £30,000, so thank you for this
Your phone always sends it's location no matter what you do
“Probably not aware of”
Dude just read what’s on the screen of everyone’s phone when they press both buttons
So they can turn off the location before they nick it and wipe it when they get home.
Um, if they force you to unlock your phone, they can force you to enter your pass code. Reseting fingerprints and face ID is only useful if you've died!
And if you keep holding the volume and power button it will call emergency services
“Might be useful if somebody forces you to unlock your phone” Yeah if Face ID is disabled they’re just gonna force me to enter the password? 😂
If someone force you then it’s a good idea that the phone gets unlocked , what if they have a weapon and threaten to hurt you
The first one is useful for my mom when says to unlock my phone💀
What purpose does the second option serve other than staying off grid?
Das geht auch mit: Hey Siri, wem gehört dieses IPhone.
Danach ist auch alles deaktiviert.
The 1st feature is super valuable because cops can legally force you to unlock your phone if you have Face ID or fingerprint enabled but they legally can’t make input your passcode.
I believe only my grandparents didn’t notice this stuff. It’s quite obvious
Even if you press the power button and the slide power off will appear and you cancel the shutdown mode it will automatically lock your phone and passcode will be required
I knew both of these things. If someone takes your phone and you're worried they're going to use your biometics to force you to unlock it, you can tell siri to lock your phone and require the passcode. :)
I have been receiving an SOS message saying I'm their emergency contact with their location from a totally random number. I get about 15 notifications a day. I have called the number and text to let them know but haven't received a response. So I blocked the number. Guess what? I get the same thing from another number in the same area. It's so odd.
Don’t turn the tracking off though unless someone forces you to with threats of violence lol
iPhone should record all video possible when these buttons are pressed as well.
Bro just told everyone how to rob an iPhone
And if you do, you can track it ANYWHERE it MOVES
Bro did not tell us any valuable information for stealing an iPhone
Also if you continue to hold down power it will count down and send an sos signal.
I can lie the first tip is useful if yu have a significant other that likes to invade your privacy while your sleeping.
Thing is if she really cared enough to catch me cheating she’d know my password is my bday… stay safe kings
if someone robbed my phone i would want to remotely activate that tracking feature to locate the phone so that the police can arrest the robber and bring my phone back.
If someone is forcing me to unlock my phone, I’m sure I’ll enter the passcode 😂
Oh really? Name and address, please!
Strangely accessing that screen also disconnects your AirPods.
It probably turns off Bluetooth and prepares to shut down
You can also press the power button 5 times, which is the fastest way to lockdown your phone from Face ID/Touch ID
Never use fingerprint or face ID!! Authorities can legally compel you to use your face and fingerprint to open your phone. But cannot compel you to use your password!!
Thanks for letting kidnappers know how to shit the tracking off
You’ll need the passcode to turn off the power off tracking.
Why does he make it sound like a horror genre
Why wouldn't your phone just completely turn off when you turned it off...? Good ole government tracking 😂
Never use prints or face to unlock your phone, always use a pass code! The law can force ably use your print or face to access your phone but they cannot force you to divulge your passcode! That’s the law!
Tracking by default when switched off is only something sneaky and stupid which Apple is known for
It’s so you can find a lost device even if it’s off. I get people don’t like it, but it’s a specific hardware chip you have to be close to for it to even show where your phone’s at.
Iphone is sending your location even turned off. The pudge.
So you can find your $1000 phone you lost even if it’s off, lol. Though he did show how to turn it off.
@Nythepegasus
Lol, so the government is just knowing your location wherever you are lol.
@First Last My brother, it’s a small chip in the device, the only people finding it are already near you, lol.
@Nythepegasus
I hope so.
Samsung has a feature just like this in OneUI. Lockdown mode.
If you go to the side key settings you can enable it to show in the power off menu.
What it does is quite simple:
-Locks your phone
-Locks biometrics
-Locks notifications
Very handy
Most premium Android phones also have this as lockdown mode(in Samsung S series press power + Bixby key or volume up + power button ( w/o Bixby key) )
You can also activate this screen by pressing the power button 5 times. I find this easier to remember as a “panic” mode if law enforcement or TSA come for your phone.
oh shii it works
It also switches the audio output back to the phone speakers when connected to a bluetooth device (accidentally figured this out just now)
Are reading that I noticed the same happened for me
That second one is phenomenal for victims of domestic abuse! Though I wonder how many know about this.
So now ppl know how to steal your phone then turn off tracking🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉wow
When would you want to turn off your phone from being tracked? Like if it got stolen you wouldn’t be able to find it lol
Mfs just scared of being tracked like they paranoid, welcome to the internet.
@meli4cozy oh yeah, makes sense lol Ty
pixel devices have lock in the power options that disables biometric unlocks untill you enter your pin/password again
Police can demand you open your phone with face ID or fingerprint, however they cannot have you open your phone with your passcode as this goes against the 5th amendment of self incrimination. Great advice for keeping citizens safe from tyrannical cops
