How to Protect iPhone Against App Thieves

The iPhone is one of the most expensive mobile phones on the market and the personal information it holds is highly valuable to criminals. According to a recent Wall Street Journal article, hackers are watching users type in their passcodes, discovering how they can guess the code. This information could be used to reset the password on Apple ID and gain access to all the data of a user in iCloud. Apple is working on upgrading its software to fight these tactics. There are a variety of ways you can shield your iPhone from snatchers of apps.

Make sure you have a secure password. No matter if you use Touch ID, Face ID or the four-digit numeric code create a passcode that is as difficult as it is to guess. This is the first step towards stopping a burglar from accessing your iPhone and personal data.

Review all the apps that can access your location services as well as your camera and microphone on your iPhone. If you spot any suspicious behavior (for instance, an app that asks for access to your camera or contacts list) delete these permissions immediately. Then, you can enable two factor authentication in the Settings app as well as in any apps that support it. This will stop a burglar from hacking into your iCloud account and downloading your personal information from the cloud.

A trusted security app will provide a comprehensive security for your iPhone. Mobile Security by Trend Micro, for instance, analyzes Internet activity to detect malicious websites, adware and safeguards your iPhone against identity theft on social media platforms such as Instagram. The app provides the best security by securing your privacy and blocking ads. F-Secure SAFE is a top choice for security in an iOS environment. The app provides a comprehensive set of security features, including a private vault that can store up to 40 photos of private content and a password breach alert which will inform you that your email password has been exposed.
