iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max have an Action button in place of the Ring/Silent switch. You can choose which function you want the Action button to perform when you press it, making it useful for actions you perform often. In this episode, Thomas Domville discusses and demonstrates how to configure and use the Action button.

We'd love to hear from you in the comments about how you are customizing and using the new Action button on your iPhone 15 Pro. Are you setting it up for quick access to commonly used apps or actions like switching to the camera or recording a voice memo? Or are you taking advantage of its support for shortcuts to improve your iPhone experience and workflow?? Let us and other listeners know what creative ways you've found to utilize this handy new feature.

Do you ever get the sense that you’re being monitored on the internet? In this episode, Thomas Domville will demonstrate Apple’s Advanced Tracking and Fingerprinting Protection, a fresh addition to the privacy tools in iOS 17.

Picture this: You click on a link, and all of a sudden, advertisements for that exact product begin to appear everywhere. It’s unsettling, isn’t it? This is the effect of cross-site tracking, powered by concealed IDs within links.

However, there’s no need to worry! Advanced Tracking and Fingerprinting Protection is designed to protect you. It accomplishes this by:

Removing tracking IDs from links: Those crafty “tags” that track your every click? They’re history! Preventing fingerprinting scripts: Advertisers employ cunning code to fingerprint your device and create a unique profile. This feature disrupts their scheme. The greatest aspect? It’s integrated and automatically turned on for private browsing. But if you wish to have more control, here’s how to enable it for all browsing:

Navigate to Settings > Safari. Select Advanced > Advanced Tracking and Fingerprinting Protection. Opt for “All Browsing”. Now, you can browse with assurance. Say goodbye to intrusive ads and the sensation of being scrutinized digitally. It’s just you, the web, and the liberty to discover.

In this episode, Thomas Domville demonstrates the new Stolen Device Protection feature introduced in iOS 17.3. This feature is designed to protect against the rare instance when someone has stolen your iPhone and knows your passcode.

Thomas begins by explaining the purpose of the Stolen Device Protection feature. It prevents unauthorized individuals from performing critical device and Apple ID account operations, like changing your device passcode or Apple ID password. This is achieved by requiring biometric authentication with Face ID or Touch ID, with no passcode fallback.

He then moves on to the step-by-step guide on how to enable the Stolen Device Protection feature:

Go to Settings.
Depending on your iPhone model, do one of the following:
On an iPhone with Face ID: double Tap Face ID & Passcode, then enter your passcode.
On an iPhone with a Home button: double Tap Touch ID & Passcode, then enter your passcode.
Scroll down to the Stolen Device Protection section, then double tap Turn On Protection.

Note: If you don't see the Stolen Device Protection section, you may need to set up Face ID or Touch ID first.

The episode also covers the Security Delay feature, which requires a successful Face ID or Touch ID authentication, an hour wait, then an additional successful biometric authentication. This feature helps prevent someone from making changes to settings that can lock you out of your iPhone or Apple ID account.

Hello and welcome.

My name is Thomas Donville, also known as AnonyMouse.

I'm going to talk to you today about a feature called Stolen Device Protection.

Now this will be ultimately up to you if you want to turn this feature on.

This is a feature that will just kind of enhance your security protection for your iPhone and other settings.

I'll explain a little more here.

When this item is set to on, this will give you an additional protection when it comes to anytime that your phone is stolen or gets lost.

In theory, the feature came about, unfortunately, because there have been some incidents where people will be watching other people gain access to their iPhone, whether that's using the passcode or using their biometric authentication to get into the phone and thus forth then gets stolen from that person.

Or maybe perhaps you lost your phone and somebody somehow, someway gets onto your phone one form or another.

Well this protection will defeat from that person being able to make changes to some critical areas on your device.

So the first layer of protection when this is turned on, this will protect you from them being able to access to certain settings that will now require a biometric authentication.

So it kind of bypass if there weren't any passcode to that area before, you will now have to be able to use authentication by a biometric…

Hello and welcome.

My name is Thomas Domville, also known as AnonyMouse.

I'm going to be talking to you about an Apple Intelligent feature called the writing tools.

Now this is one of my most favorite feature of the Apple Intelligent that Apple has to offer.

Now in order to be able to use the Apple Intelligent, you must need the following iPhone criteria, which is iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, or newer devices.

If you have those devices, then you will earn luck.

The first thing we need to do is make sure that Apple Intelligent is turned on.

Simple enough to turn it on, you'll have to head over to your settings.

So let's head over to settings, and let's do one finger double tap and open this.

And now what we're looking for, we're looking for Apple Intelligent in Siri, so swipe to the right until you find that button.

One finger double tap, open that.

Now you may have heard the word beta.

Well, at this time of the podcast that's being recorded, it is in beta.

So Apple Intelligent is in beta at this moment.

Now if you don't hear the beta, don't worry.

That might mean that the beta is no longer in beta.

So to make sure we are in the same place in this right area, let's go to the very top left hand corner where you have the back button.

To get to there, you can either tap at the top left or use a forefinger tap on the top half of your device until you hear the back button.

Now if you swipe to the right, that's where you heard the beta.

Now in your case, if you don't hear the beta, have no worries, let's keep going to the right.

Now we're into the Apple Intelligent section.

Now if you go to the right here, a personal intelligence system integrated deeply into your iPhone apps and Siri, learn more link, use the rotor to access links.

You can do that if you wish.

If you want to find more information about the Apple Intelligent and all the features that has to offer, double tap that and I'll take you to the web page at Apple to talk to you about more about Apple Intelligent.

But what we're looking for is the option to turn the Apple Intelligent on and that should be the next item up.
