@declan.bransby: How to protect your money from phone snatchers on your iPhone 🔒 A few years ago, my mate had his phone snatched in London and his life savings were gone within half an hour. Here's exactly how I set mine up so that is less likely to happen to me. - Banking apps hidden behind Face ID - 2FA locked down via Face ID - Stolen Device Protection set to always - Turning off control centre when your phone is locked This might seem over the top for some, but I'd rather have peace of mind. Let me know if you want a part 2 with some more things I do to secure my money! #moneytips #PersonalFinance #london #iphonesecurity #phonetheft #phonesnatching
I protect my money by spending it as soon as it lands in my account 😩😭

I’d recommend using Screen Time to prevent access to the Face ID settings so they can’t just add a new Face ID to the phone

I think they’d feel bad for me and return my phone

Completely pointless can’t open any of my finance apps even if they steal the phone unlocked as it would need Face ID or a pin which they won’t have

You can also make a shortcut so even if your phone is unlocked as soon as you try to open a banking app it locks your phone and you have to unlock it first.

I actually don’t keep any banking apps on my iPhone - all on my iPad kept at home under lock and key

Also set up a "Stolen iPhone" shortcut where you can text a code word to your number and it will remotely carry out a whole load of preventative actions including sending the location of the device.

Another idea is to keep one banking app visible and very accessible with only a small sum in it, that way, they may believe that’s the only one you have and not keep pushing to find hidden ones

Any other apps that include personal or card details like Amazon or notes app, put face ID on as well!!!

I’ve never seen a banking app that doesn’t need a passcode or Face ID to login and then also needs Face ID to transfer funds.

I still can’t understand why apple allows iPhone to be turned off without a passcode!❗️This would allow the owner to guarantee phone connectivity until you can erase it remotely!

also get a samsung. as soon as there's a strong jerk (like being grabbed) it locks itself

Turn off access to Siri when locked too bc a thief can ask Siri to turn on airplane mode and disable FindMy!

That’s stupid. So you need Face ID to open the folder that the app needs Face ID? But you want to send money in a banking app you need more than Face ID if it’s over some value

You can also disable changes to your account under screen time so people can’t change your Face ID to theirs!

no they didn't 🤣 most internet banking and even crypto wallets require a password to log in, unless his life savings were 39 pound 🤣🤣

I did this all before I went to Amsterdam and London in June. I also set up an automaton where once they put it in flight mode it repeats “this iPhone is stolen” 100 times so hopefully the thief would get sick of it and ditch it shortly after stealing it 😂
