6 default settings you should turn off in iPhone

If you own an iPhone, you probably know that there are many hidden features, factory default settings, running in the device's operating system. Some settings are really unnecessary and you can turn it off.

Here are the functions you can turn off without affecting the usability of the device.

1. Analyze iPhone

The iPhone Analytics feature sends your phone information to Apple, which causes a number of security issues. Apple collects this data to improve the service, but a lot of people think their information is much more important than the new improvements on the iPhone.

To turn off this feature, click Settings> Privacy> Analytics> Turn off Share iPhone Analytics .
