Your iPhone’s Settings option contains features and functionalities that you can set or adjust in order to control your device’s behavior. To make Settings easier to navigate, functions are grouped into options. Each option contains sub-options that are related to each other. Though the phone’s options and settings are optimally organized, one can easily get lost with the vast amount of preferences in Settings. Luckily, there is a way to get to a setting quickly on your iPhone or iPad without going through each option and sub-option. The steps outlined in this tutorial work for iPhone, iPad, and the iPod running on iOS 9.
