What to do to protect your iPhone data from thieves? The first step to protect your iPhone data from thieves is to protect your passcode.
An Apple company spokesperson said in an interview that users should unlock their phones with Face ID or Touch ID when they unlock them, because by doing so, people can’t see your passcode. And the phone’s data can be protected to some extent.
He further said that if users want to set a passcode, they should choose the longest and most difficult passcode so that the iPhone cannot be easily opened in case of theft, if a user suspects that someone has seen his passcode. If so, they should change their passcode immediately.
By setting screen time, you can lock all apps with screen time. Users can keep their data safe by backing up their device on a daily basis. The iPhone can be backed up with iCloud and iTunes to recover data in case the device is stolen, while the user can also delete data from the stolen device with the help of the backup.
