Pick a task.
Search or browse: “Make Venmo private.” “Block adult content for my kid.” “Unsend a Gmail.”
Fix them in 20 seconds. Watch.
TapThrough is an iPhone app that shows you exactly which buttons to tap, in order, to take back control of your privacy, settings, and data.
Here's what it looks like
Every walkthrough is a sequence of real iPhone screenshots, captured on the current iOS, with one annotation per step: a single red circle drawn around the button you tap next. No videos to scrub. No paragraphs to skim. No guessing whether your iPhone looks like the one in the blog post.
The launch pack
Five more in the Privacy pack. Plus four other packs covering family safety, time-savers, battery, and accessibility.
By default, every payment you send is on a public feed. We show you the three taps to make every transaction private — past, present, and future.
Snap Map is on for new accounts by default. Turn on Ghost Mode in four taps and reclaim the right to disappear.
Location History was on by default for years. Delete the whole archive in one tap and stop new logging in three more.
Activity Status broadcasts the green dot next to your name to anyone you've messaged. Turn it off and disappear politely.
The default setting on a new ChatGPT account allows OpenAI to use your chats to train future models. The opt-out is one switch deep, in a menu most people never find.
How it works
Search or browse: “Make Venmo private.” “Block adult content for my kid.” “Unsend a Gmail.”
One step per screen. A red circle around the exact button to tap. No 12-minute YouTube video.
Most tasks take under a minute. The harder ones take two. That's the whole product.
Who it's for
If you just got a new iPhone
Whether you switched from Android, replaced an older iPhone, or you're setting one up for the first time — Wi-Fi, notifications, Apple ID, iCloud backup, Face ID, all the buttons that aren't where they used to be. We have a walkthrough for each. No YouTube detour. No blog post written for iOS 16.

Screen Time is the easy part. The hard part is the controls inside the apps your kid actually uses — TikTok Family Pairing, Snapchat Quick Add, who can DM your kid on Instagram, what gets through Safari, which purchases need your approval. Most parents miss half the first time.
See the Family Safety pack →If your apps know more about you than you do
Venmo's payments are on a public feed. Snapchat shares your location with strangers. Google has every place you've been since 2014. The fix for each is three to five taps, on your phone, in under a minute. The Privacy pack covers the ten that matter most.

Text too small to read. Battery dies by 3 PM. Storage always full. Notifications you don't remember turning on. The little settings that compound into a phone that actually works for you — instead of one you're constantly fighting.
