How to Protect iPhone Against Apps

Apple is known for its high standards of data security and privacy However, iPhones are still a target for hackers. Criminals can elude sensitive information by stealing it from the iPhone apps that collect the data on a daily bases. This includes browsing history, passwords, images, and the current location.

The simplest way to protect your iPhone against threats is to use a secure passcode- one that you can remember and not write down somewhere (you should be doing this anyway). Another option is to disable the ability to show notification content on the lock screen, which prevents strangers from gaining access to personal information without unlocking your phone.

If you’d like to go further, make sure you use the Screen Time passcode feature that allows you to create an alphanumeric passcode that is unique to you, or at least block access to the four-digit numeric code that will make it more difficult for a burglar to crack your passcode until they get the right. You can also enable the feature that erases all data on your iPhone after 10 unsuccessful passcode attempts, which renders your device unusable to thieves — but it could be useless to you as well if you’re not able to access your iCloud images or other content.

Then, consider installing a reputable mobile security app, such as Clario. It will warn you of malicious websites and protect your identity from being stolen on Instagram and other social media platforms, block annoying ads and potentially harmful ones, improve your privacy by using VPNs, protect your privacy using VPN and many more.
