Apple is known for its high standards in terms of privacy and data security however iPhones aren’t immune to hackers. Criminals can take sensitive information by stealing it from iPhone applications that gather the data on a daily bases. This includes browsing history images, passwords, images and current location.

The most basic way to guard your iPhone against threats is to use a strong passcode -one that you actually remember and that you don’t have to write down somewhere (you should be doing this anyway). Disabling notifications on your lock screen will also prevent strangers from accessing your personal information without unlocking your phone.

If you’re looking to go further, make sure that you use the Screen Time passcode feature that allows you to create an alphanumeric passcode that is unique to you, or at least disable access to the four-digit numeric code which will make it more difficult for a thief to brute-force your passcode until they’ve got it right. You can also activate the feature that will erase all data on your iPhone after 10 failed passcode attempts, making your device inaccessible to thieves — but it could be useless for users if they are unable to access your iCloud images or other content.

You should consider installing a mobile security program that you trust, such as Clario. It can alert you to harmful websites and protect your identity from being stolen on Instagram and other social media blocking annoying ads and potentially harmful ones, boost your privacy using the VPN and many more.
