New Iphone? Change These 5 Settings Immediately For Better Security


(MENAFN- AsiaNet News)

Got a new iPhone? Change these five essential settings to boost security, protect your data, and improve battery life. Follow these simple steps to make your device safer and run more efficiently.

Everyone knows your phone unlocks with your face. But what if someone unlocks it while you're asleep or looking away? Apple has a fix for this. Go to Settings -> Face ID & Passcode and turn on 'Require Attention for Face ID'. Now, your phone will only unlock when your eyes are looking directly at the screen.Losing a phone you spent thousands on is a nightmare, right? The 'Find My' feature is a must-have to avoid this. It helps you track your phone's exact location and even lets you remotely erase your data if needed. To switch it on, go to Settings -> Your Name (Apple ID) -> Find My, and turn on 'Find My iPhone' immediately.The biggest headache for iPhone users is its battery. To stop your battery health from dropping quickly, Apple provides a great feature. It learns your charging habits and ensures the phone charges above 80% only when you need it. Just go to Settings -> Battery -> Battery Health & Charging and select the 'Optimised Battery Charging' option.What happens to your important messages, photos, and app data if your phone gets damaged or lost? To avoid this stress, you must activate the automatic backup feature. It backs up your data whenever your iPhone connects to Wi-Fi. To do this, go to Settings -> Your Name -> iCloud and turn on 'iCloud Backup'.In today's digital world, just a password is not enough for security. With Two-Factor Authentication (2FA), no one can log into your account even if they know your Apple ID password. This is because 2FA sends a unique secret code only to your mobile. To set it up, go to Settings -> Your Name -> Sign-In & Security and activate 'Two-Factor Authentication' right away.
