Steps
Open Settings and go to General, then Keyboard. Find the Dictation toggle and turn it off so the microphone button stops appearing next to the space bar.
In Settings, open Display & Brightness and tap Liquid Glass. Lower the transparency level until text and icons are easy to read against your wallpaper.
Go to Settings, then Phone, then Call Screening. Turn it on so unknown callers are filtered before your phone rings.
Open Settings, then Privacy & Security, then Tracking. Turn off Allow Apps to Request to Track so apps cannot follow you across other apps and websites.
In Settings, tap your name at the top, then Subscriptions. Review the list and cancel any subscription you no longer use.
Open Settings, then Wi-Fi or Cellular, and check Connectivity Assist. Read the warning and turn it off if you do not want your iPhone switching networks automatically.
Go to Settings, then Privacy & Security, then Location Services. Pick each app and set it to Never or Ask Next Time instead of Always.
In Settings, open Notifications, then Messages, and turn off AI text message summaries if you would rather read the full message yourself.
Open Settings and find the new Search or Ask box. Turn off suggestions you do not want so the box stays simple.
Tips and common mistakes
Change one setting at a time and test your phone for a day so you know which change caused any difference.
Cancelling a subscription does not refund past charges, so check the renewal date before you cancel.
Turning off Location Services for an app can break features like maps or weather, so set those to While Using instead of Never.
Questions
Will turning these settings off break my iPhone?
No. Each setting only changes one behaviour, and you can turn any of them back on in the same menu. Your apps and data stay in place.
How do I find a setting I turned off by mistake?
Open Settings and use the search bar at the top to type the setting name. Tap the result to jump straight to the toggle.
Do I need to update to iOS 27 first?
Yes. These menus only appear after you install iOS 27 from Settings, then General, then Software Update.
