If you are an iPhone user, protecting iPhone data becomes essential when you have stored sensitive files. Your precious data can be at risk as iPhones are prone to many data loss cases like phone stealing, water or fire damage, accidentally deleting data. To prevent these data loss problems, here are the eight ways you can protect your iPhone data.

1. iCloud backup

iCloud backups have always been the best option to protect your iPhone from data loss.

It is best to recover your iPhone data later when your data gets corrupted or accidentally deleted. Just turn on the auto backup option in your iCloud account, and data backup will automatically be created.

2. iTune backup

Itune comes as the second option other than backup when you need to create backups. You can conveniently backup your iPhone data in an external USB drive or a Mac.

3. Turn on Lock Screen

To make your iPhone secure in the first place, make sure you enable the Lock Screen passcode feature. Also, don’t be too easy; make it a little complicated, which no one can access.

4. Utilise the “ Find my iPhone” feature

iPhone users have the feature to locate and protect their phones against stealth or loss. The find my phone features in iPhone make this easier for users to locate their iPhone if it gets missing or stolen. Enabling lost mode will help you track your phone and lock it if it’s stolen. And you can erase all the sensitive data remotely from your location.

5. Update iOS

Don’t wait too long to update iOS on your iPhone. It can be prone to malware and hackers that can put your data at risk.

6. Doable auto-fill option

The auto-fill option in the browser is easier for you but riskier when it comes to the hands of hackers. It can easily access passwords and other account details to hackers, making your data more vulnerable.

7. Turn on two-factor authentication

Enabling a two-factor authentication mode in your iPhone prevents unauthorized users from accessing your iPhone from anywhere. Apply a 4–6 digit password to make it more protected.

8. Use “auto erase data after 10failed password attempts”

This is one of the unique features that the iPhone offers. Enabling this will automatically erase all the data in your iPhone when a hacker or stealer tries to crack your device password.

Conclusion

iPhones offer high-security features, but one can not stop stealing and hacking from happening. Using these eight tips will ensure your data is highly protected and prevent your iPhone from data loss.
