Why privacy is important
In public places, you may think it's okay if someone looks at your phone. However, having someone look at your phone can be upsetting. Not only that, but if important information is being looked at, it can cause irreparable damage.
Next, let's take a closer look at why privacy protection is important.
Leaking of personal information
If someone is snooping around, they could be exposing your personal information, including your name, address, phone number, email address, and even credit card details. If this information is exposed, you could become a victim of identity theft or fraud.
Increased security risks
If you do not prevent snooping, the security of your device may be compromised. A malicious individual may obtain your password or PIN and gain unauthorized access to your device. This may result in data being stolen, deleted, or misused.
Professional Impact
In business situations, snooping can lead to the disclosure of confidential information and loss of professional credibility, which can lead to the failure of business contracts, loss of customer trust, and even legal issues.
Impact on relationships
Snooping can have a negative impact on relationships when private messages and photos are exposed to others, damaging trust between friends and family.
For these reasons, privacy and privacy protection for your iPhone is extremely important.
Effective ways to spy on people's smartphones
It is important to take measures to protect your privacy when using your smartphone in a public place. Below, we will introduce specific measures to prevent people from looking at your phone, from using iPhone settings to using NIMASO's privacy film.
By implementing these measures, you can prevent the leakage of personal information and create an environment where you can use your smartphone with peace of mind.
How to use iPhone settings
Set up Face ID or Touch ID
Using Face ID or Touch ID, you can unlock your iPhone using facial recognition or fingerprint authentication, preventing others from easily accessing your iPhone.
Passcode Strengthening
Set a passcode and for added security, set a complex passcode that is at least six digits long and includes both numbers and letters.
Notifications Privacy Settings
To protect your privacy when notifications are displayed, you can hide the notification contents by going to Settings > Notifications > Show Previews and selecting Only when unlocked to prevent prying eyes from seeing them.
Shorten the screen lock time
Setting a short screen lock time can help prevent prying eyes from seeing your phone by shortening the time it takes for your iPhone to automatically lock. Go to Settings > Display & Brightness > Auto-Lock and choose a short time, like 1 minute. This will give you some privacy if you forget to put your iPhone to sleep while away for a short work day.
Turn down the screen brightness
You can reduce visibility to those around you by lowering your screen brightness from Settings > Display & Brightness. And if you notice someone peering at your phone, you can instantly lower your screen brightness using the side button. Triple-click the side button to quickly adjust your screen brightness.
Per-app privacy settings
Review the privacy settings of each app to protect your personal information. Check the app's access permissions in the iPhone's "Privacy" settings and turn off unnecessary permissions. Regularly check app behavior with the Privacy Report. For social media and messaging apps, set the visibility appropriately and use end-to-end encryption. Prevent personal information from being stolen from the software.
What to do if you lose your iPhone
Setting up and using the Find My app
The Find My app on your iPhone can help you locate your device if it goes missing. Turning on Lost Mode will lock your device, display a custom message, and allow you to see your device's location on a map.
How to set up Lost Mode
Select your iPhone in the Find My app, then tap Mark as Lost. Enter your contact information and set a message to display on your device so that you can be contacted if it's ever found.
Remote Lock and Wipe Data
If your iPhone is lost, you can remotely lock the device and erase all data. Select "Erase iPhone" from the "Find My" app to prevent personal information from being leaked.
The Importance of Data Backup
By backing up your data regularly with iCloud or iTunes, you can restore it if you lose it, which makes it easier to transfer your data to a new device.
SIM card lock
If you lose your iPhone, contact your carrier to lock the SIM card to prevent unauthorized use.
