What people look up on the iPhone 6s

Optimized Battery Charging

Available Battery and charging

Your iPhone learns your daily routine and holds the charge near 80 percent, finishing the last part just before you normally unplug it.

Settings > Battery > Battery Health > Optimized Battery Charging

Allow Apps to Request to Track

Available Privacy and security

Turning this off means no app can even ask to follow what you do in other companies' apps and websites, and every app is treated as if you said no.

Settings > Privacy > Tracking

Battery Health

Available Battery and charging

This screen shows what percentage of its original capacity your battery still holds, and warns you when it has aged enough to affect the phone.

Settings > Battery > Battery Health

Location Services

Available Privacy and security

Location Services is the master list of every app that can use your position, and the level of access each one has.

Settings > Privacy > Location Services

Background App Refresh

Available General and system

Background App Refresh lets apps fetch new content while they are closed, which keeps them current at the cost of battery and data.

Settings > General > Background App Refresh

Text Size

Available Display and appearance

One slider changes text size across the system and every app that uses Dynamic Type, and Accessibility offers larger sizes still.

Settings > Accessibility > Display & Text Size > Larger Text

Allow Notifications

Available Notifications and Focus

Each app has its own notification switch, plus separate control over the Lock Screen, banners, notification centre, sounds and badges.

Settings > Notifications > App name > Allow Notifications

Find My iPhone

Available Find My and safety

Find My lets you locate your iPhone on a map, play a sound on it, mark it as lost, or erase it remotely, and it also enables Activation Lock.

Settings > Apple ID > Find My > Find My iPhone

What you will not find in Settings
