Short YouTube clip (Caitlin Sarian) listing three phone settings to disable for privacy: turn off unnecessary location access, revoke broad camera and photo access, and check/disable automatic app permissions (camera, microphone, contextual permissions). The video is a quick how-to/tip with a follow call-to-action for more privacy hacks.
Three dangerous settings to turn off on your phone. Let's go.

2. Camera and photo Access to every app.

Automatic app.
Permissions Check your app permissions to make sure apps aren't accessing your camera, microphone, or context without a reason.
