1. Ratings and reviews on apps

It’s fun to try out a new app on your iPhone every now and then. It becomes annoying if you regularly receive an intrusive notification asking if you want to rate the app. You always decide that yourself when you do that. Therefore, turn off this annoying notification as soon as possible.

2. Turn off the ‘sent from my iPhone’ notification

Anyone who has ever sent an email from their iPhone (or iPad) has come across this message. At the bottom of the email is then ‘Sent from my iPhone’ or ‘Sent from my iPad’. The recipient will also see this message in the email.

In this week’s iPhone tips, we’ll tell you an easier way to change or remove this default text. Below you can read how.

• Tap ‘Settings’ and scroll down;
• Choose ‘Mail’ and scroll down one more time;
• Tap on ‘Signature’ and tick ‘All accounts’;
• Adjust the text as desired or remove all text.

3. Message center and control panel can be used when locked

When you’ve locked iPhone, you can still read Notification Center and open Control Center. Sometimes it is useful, because with this you can quickly put your device in airplane mode.

It does become irritating when greedy children’s hands or your friends uninvitedly ‘play’ with the settings in the control panel or message center. You have quite a lot of settings that you can access while your iPhone is locked. To avoid irritations, simply disable both options. You do this in the following way.

• Open ‘Settings’;
• Scroll down and choose ‘Face ID and access code’;
• Enter your code and scroll down;
• Under ‘Access when locked’, turn off the options for ‘Notification center’ and ‘Control panel’.

As you can see, there are more options that you can disable here, but by blocking the control panel and the message center you already remove a lot of setting options.

Now all we’re missing is an easy way to remove your camera and flashlight from your lock screen, without having to use Screen Time…
