Apple iPhone has good security features, such as Face ID or Touch ID. However, you cannot neglect to take further measures to prevent your iPhone from being spied on. You must go to iPhone security settings and set up your phone correctly. From your Gmail account, your Facebook page, and your browser, just relying on Face ID or Touch ID is not enough. Although Face ID can prevent others from accessing the iPhone, some applications can still be accessed by others without even having to unlock it. For example, you can reply to messages from a locked screen without unlocking your phone. Therefore, iPhone users must change these security settings to protect their devices. The following is how to hide the application/data of the device from prying eyes.
Don’t show notifications on the lock screen
Many iPhone users lock/unlock their phones with Face ID, but notifications will pop up even on the locked screen. This can be accessed by anyone. However, you can protect your data by repairing the settings so that iPhone will not display the content of notifications or messages on the locked phone, thereby hiding the content.
Doing so prevents snoops from checking the emails and messages you receive.
Step 1: Go to Settings and click on Notifications
Step 2: Show Previews and pick either When Unlocked or Never.
Step 3: Now save the changes and your device is safe.
Limit activities on your locked iPhone or iPad
You can restrict the apps or activities from being shown up on the locked screen by turning them off. Here’s how you can complete securing your iPhone through these simple steps:
Step 1: Go to iPhone Settings
Step 2: Click on Face ID/Touch ID and Passcode
Step 3: Next, enter your passcode and then scroll down to the section named ‘Allow Access When Locked’.
Step 4: You’ll see a list of different device features, like Siri and Today View, Control Centre and Wallet etc.
Step 5: Now switch off each feature separately that you don’t want to pop up on the locked screen. Every feature with the switch on position can be accessed directly from the lock screen, without unlocking them.
Step 6: Now save the changes and exit. Your device is secure now.
