5 iPhone Settings You Should Not Change
ZDNet recently reported that there are five (5) iPhone settings you should not tweak because you might encounter problems if you change them.
My Number (Settings > Messages > Sends as SMS)
Changing this iOS setting does not merely mean having a new actual phone number. However, if you plan to change "My Number," expect that activation issues in your iMessage could appear.
Auto-Brightness (Settings > Accessibility > Display & Text Size > Auto-Brightness)
Your iPhone's automatic brightness setting should be left as-is because there are cases that it can interrupt your experience. While it's good to adjust the brightness in a room because it could save power, there's a chance that changing to full brightness could damage the display of your device.
Leave SMS On (Settings > Messages > Send as SMS)
In the same report, changing the SMS setting on your iPhone could lead to an inability to send SMS to anyone. Make sure that this important setting is always switched on at the very least to avoid experiencing this problem.
Data Network (Settings > Cellular > Cellular Data Network)
Your cellular data network should not be changed at all unless a tech expert tells you to do so. If you are unfortunate to run into a problem, simply tap Reset Settings which will revert the issue to normal.
Date and Time (Settings > General > Date & Time)
Intentionally tweaking the date or time in your iPhone settings apps could pose unexpected uncertainties in your device. The most annoying part that could occur is there would be no message that will tell you about this issue. The result? You will have a hard time figuring it out.
