It’s incredibly important to take advantage of iPhone privacy settings. These privacy settings exist for a good reason: if your phone is compromised and your data is stolen, a whole lot of personal information can get out there in the world. Your banking information can become known, as well as your contacts, messages, and passwords for every single website you frequent.
One of the best ways you can safeguard yourself is by changing certain iPhone privacy settings, as outlined by tech experts Payette Forward:
Here are some of the most important iPhone privacy settings to change ASAP.
TrackingsTap on Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking. Here you’ll see an option for “Allow Apps to Request to Track” you. You can disable this all at once at the top or go one by one into each app and disable it for the apps you don’t want to track you (such as Facebook). Not allowing them to track you means they can’t follow your online activity as you search up keywords, which is information they can then sell to advertisers to target you with ads.
