How to disable (or control) the most annoying features of iOS 11
December 20, 2017
Everyone complains about the excessive consumption of the battery, but this problem has a solution.
The new version of Apple's operating system has some buts that can be tamed like this.
iOS 11 cam with us almost a month. And this period of time has been more than enough for us to give us the most annoying ditch of the latest version of the operating system for Apple's mobile devices. Basically, the main problem is excessive battery consumption.
But this circumstance is not a toll that all users have to pay compulsorily. There are ways to control that excess spending. Above all, deactivating the second great but of iOS 11: that Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are always active.
But this is not the only annoyance of iOS 11. There are also others that bother, but they have a solution.
The iOS 11 control center does not turn off WiFi or Bluetooth
Even if we deactivate these two functions in the control center, we will see how they are active again when the phone is switched on again or after a few hours. This is not a failure. Apple says that in iOS 11 these two types of connections are essential for the location to work correctly. But if we want to deactivate them completely, we will have to go to the settings application and turn them off -definitively- from there.
Internet sharing is always active
Another surprise of the update. Apple leaves this option open by default, which turns the iPhone or iPad into a router through which third devices can connect to the Internet. To turn it off, once again, you must go to the Settings app.
Where the hell is the 'automatic brightness'?
This option, which allows you to adjust the intensity of the brightness depending on the ambient light, is no longer in the 'Display and brightness' section of Settings. You are now in General-Accessibility-Display settings.
The 'Night shift' mode is no longer in the Control Center
With 'Night shift' the iPhone or the iPad changes the blue light of the screen at the end of the day so that it does not influence the brain of the users and thus alter their sleep. Until the arrival of iOS 11, this option could be activated in a clear way from the Control Center, but now it is hidden: to reach it you have to click on the brightness control of the same Control Center and there the button will appear.
The plague of the autoplay arrives on the App Store
This is a nuisance in which the most fussy have set themselves: in the renewed App Store there are videos that are played automatically, with the consequent consumption of data and battery. But this new feature can be disabled in the Settings application, in the section dedicated to the iTunes Store and App Store.
How to add a mail account
Before, this could be done from Settings-Mail. But now Apple has decided to create a new section called Accounts and passwords, from which you can add or delete email accounts. In addition, there are all the passwords stored in the phone, but nobody panics: to access them you have to enter the unlock (or use the fingerprint).
My Control Center looks like a verbena, how can I customize it?
Accustomed to the minimalism of the Control Center in iOS 10, it seems to many that the new version has too many options. But there is no need to hold so much icon: to change its content just go to Settings-Control Center and click on Customize.
How the hell do I hide THAT bar in iMessage?
Now with iMessage you can not only send stickers, you can also share videos from TouTube, restaurants that we have booked through Open Table, songs that we have in Apple Music or even clothes that we liked from Fartech. And everything, without leaving the messaging app, thanks to a bar that appears at the bottom. To hide it, just click on the App Store icon on the left. Nothing else!
