I do this for all my Apple devices to make sure all my iMessages and FaceTime calls come from the same email address. I make sure the default email address used to place FaceTime calls is the same as the one used as default iMessage email address.

  • Change the FaceTime default email address in Settings > FaceTime.
  • This is taken care of in Settings > Phone > Calls on Other Devices.
  • Turn off call forwarding to other devices to prevent having all my Apple devices ring when I get a phone call.
  • This is a great feature that most carriers now support.
  • Enable Wi-Fi calling in Settings > Phone > Wi-Fi Calling.
  • This is done in Settings > Messages > Keep Messages. After one year, messages will automatically be deleted, which doesn’t really matter since I will have a new iPhone by then.
  • Set my default iMessage email address at Settings > Messages > Send & Receive.
  • You can do so in Settings > Messages > Text Message Forwarding.
  • Set up text message forwarding to my iPad and MacBook so I can also receive SMS (not just iMessages) on these devices.
  • It probably has something to do with privacy. I am not entirely sure why but this isn’t on by default.
  • Enable dictation in Settings > General > Keyboard.
  • Typing often in both English and French, these two steps are essential.
  • Add French dictionary, and French-English dictionary in Settings > General > Dictionary.
  • Add French keyboard in Settings > General > Keyboard > Keyboards.
  • Create a “Crapple” folder with all Apple apps I seldom use.
  • Doing so doesn’t only help keep things clean, but it also saves tons of storage space on my device.
  • Delete stock apps I never use (Contacts, GarageBand, Keynote, Clips, iMovie, iTunes U, Tips).
  • I’m French and grew up on what the US calls military time.
  • Change time to 24 hours format in Settings > General > Date & Time.
  • Turn on haptic feedback in Settings > Sounds & Haptics > Keyboard Feedback.
  • They drive me nuts so this is always a priority.

    This list is pretty much in the same order a do things after setting up my iPhone or iPad as new. While of little value to most readers, I’m hoping it will give some ideas or inspiration to a few of you. In this post, I want to share my process for setting up a new iPhone or iPad. These are settings that never, or at least rarely, change from one year to the other. These are all the granular preferences that truly make my iOS device fit my needs. If my Home screen lay out changes a bit with every new device I set up, there are things however that remain unchanged from my old iPhone to the new one. Instead of setting up my new device from a previous backup, I like to start with a clean state and set up the device from scratch, which allows me to do some Spring cleaning of sort on my Home screen, and change things up a bit. Getting a new iPhone is always a satisfying moment for me because it is like a fresh start.
