How to Protect iPhone Against Apps

Apple is known for setting high standards for privacy and data security for its users but iPhones aren’t protected from hackers. Criminals can take sensitive information by stealing it from iPhone apps that collect this information on a daily basis. This includes browsing history pictures, passwords, and the current location.

The most basic way to guard your iPhone against apps is to use a secure passcodeone that you can actually remember and don’t write down in a notebook somewhere (you should be doing this anyway). Turning off the notification content on the lock screen will stop anyone from accessing your private information without unlocking the phone.

If you’d like to take things a step farther you can utilize the Screen Time feature to create a unique alphanumeric passcode or disable access to your 4-digit numeric passcode. This will make it more difficult for a burglar to the passcode. You can also enable the feature that erases all data from your iPhone after 10 unsuccessful passcode attempts. This makes your iPhone unusable to thieves, however, it could still be unusable if you cannot access iCloud photos or other content.

Finally, consider installing a reputable mobile security app, such as Clario. It will alert you to harmful websites and protect your identity from theft on Instagram and other social media blocking annoying ads and potentially dangerous ones, enhance your privacy with a VPN and much more.
