I came across a
YouTube clip by some tech guys who were banging on about the ways to save battery on the
iPhone and the steps you should take to turn off non essential apps and all of the hard to find and hidden functions that serve no purpose except to inform
Apple of what you've been up to, where you've been and what you're likely to buy in the future.
Horrors!
As a rat or something was doing Cossack dancing in the ceiling and keeping me awake last night I picked up my
iPhone and, following the instructions from the geeks on my
iPad set about changing and deleting most of the functions on the phone.
Job done!
Or was it?
Today I discovered that I'd successfully disabled
FaceTime which The Old Girl uses to
keep an eye on keep in contact with me (she's worse than
Apple), lost a lot of phone contacts, changed security settings so that I've been receiving phishing and spam mail and generally buggered up some of the useful functions. I'm going to have to do a reset to get back to where I was before I started the 'improvements'. To add insult to injury somehow the changes ran the battery totally down so that I've had to charge up from zero to discover all of this.
In the old days we just took the bloody phone off the hook.
