Apple is known for setting high standards for privacy of its users and data security but iPhones aren’t secure from hackers. It’s feasible for criminals to obtain sensitive information from numerous iPhone applications that gather it on a daily basis — including browsing history, personal photographs or locations, as well as passwords.

The simplest way to protect your iPhone against threats is by ensuring that you use a secure passcodeone that you can actually remember and that you don’t have to write down somewhere (you should be doing this already). Turning off the notification content on your lock screen will also stop anyone from accessing your personal information without unlocking your phone.

If you want to take it a step further, ensure that you are using the Screen Time passcode feature that lets you set up an alphanumeric password that you have created, or at least disable access to your four-digit numeric code which will make it more difficult for a thief to force your passcode until they get the right. You can also set www.directionsoftware.org/business-software-review-virtual-data-rooms-pros-and-cons the feature that erases all data from your iPhone after 10 failed passcode attempts. This will render your iPhone inaccessible to thieves although it might be inaccessible to you if cannot access iCloud photos or other content.

Also, you should consider installing a reliable mobile security app, such as Clario. It will alert you to harmful websites and protect your identity from theft on Instagram and social media blocking annoying ads and potentially harmful ones, increase your privacy using the VPN and much more.
