@absmechialofficial: If someone steals your iPhone, your banking apps, emails and passwords could be worth far more than the phone itself. Here's how I'd protect them: 1) Hide and lock financial apps Long-press the app, tap Require Face ID, then Hide and Require Face ID. 2) Lock your email and messaging apps They could potentially be used to reset passwords or access sensitive information. 3) Lock important social media apps Add another layer of protection to accounts you wouldn't want someone accessing. 4) Turn on Stolen Device Protection Go to Settings → Face ID & Passcode → Stolen Device Protection. I'd personally set Require Security Delay to Always. 5) Turn on Find My iPhone This lets you mark your phone as lost and remotely erase it if needed. 6) Disable Control Centre when locked Go to Face ID & Passcode and turn off Control Centre under Allow Access When Locked. These settings take a few minutes to change and could make your phone much harder to exploit if it's stolen. Save this and check yours now.
