7 Steps to Protect Your iPhone From Hackers

 

Can iPhones get hacked? What can you do if they do? How can you get them back, once and for all?

We'll show you some really advanced hidden iPhone tricks tips in this article.

Install updates regularly

Make sure to keep your iPhone up-to-date. It is easy to fix random bugs and get exciting new features. Apple cares about security and many of its updates include security patches. Install them frequently and you won't allow hackers to target your computer or personal information.

You can check if all the updates have been installed on your iPhone by going to Settings > > Update. Follow the prompts to download any available updates.

Use password techniques

While everyone knows that strong passwords are necessary to keep your iPhone safe online, it's not the only way to protect it. iCloud Keychain can be used to create and store passwords. The service will remember your passwords so you don't have to worry about losing them. Go to Settings and tap on your name. Next, select iCloud> keychain and turn the toggle on.

Activate two-factor authentication

Hackers will not be able to log into your Apple services without your knowledge. This feature can be enabled by going to Settings> Apple ID Password and Security Two-Factor authentication.

Avoid jailbreaking and third-party apps

Jailbreaking is allowing your iPhone to install files and apps from other sources than the Apple Store. Our advice: don't do it. It is much easier to leak your personal information once you have jailbroken your phone. Your security may be compromised by any third-party application. If that is not enough, jailbreaking your iPhone will make your warranty null.

Revocation of location tracking permissions

It might seem like a small price to pay to have apps track your location. It is possible for these apps to access valuable information about you that you do not want to share. Apps that have access to your location can see what routes you like and which places you frequent.

To modify that, tap Setting> Privacy> Locator Services. Here you can view permissions for each app. You can then select the ones you don't trust and remove their permissions for tracking your location.

Disable password auto-fill

A worse thing is to disable password auto-fill. It is almost impossible to remember passwords for every online account. Safari's autofill feature stores your payment card information. It's still a matter of safety or convenience. You can decide which is more important by visiting Settings> Safari> AutoFill. You have the option to turn off auto-fill for credit cards or contact information.

Use VPN to avoid public Wi-Fi and ensure your online safety

Can an iPhone be hacked? You can hack an iPhone, but you don't have to be afraid.

You will be able to take reasonable precautions. A VPN is recommended when using open Wi-Fi hotspots. Public charging points are a common place for hackers, so you should avoid them. Don't let the old trick of giving your phone to someone on the street make quick calls.

Apple Support can be reached if you believe that your account has been compromised by a security breach.
