Most people don’t take the time to set up their phone security. Instead, they often hand over their device to a service provider and feel safe. But the truth is, the service provider usually has limited protection, and hackers can easily access your data and even monitor your location, for all you know. Losing your iPhone is a very frustrating experience, but there are many ways you can help to find it quickly. So let’s take a deep look into how we can protect your life and your property with an iPhone security app.

Why do You need To Lock Your iPhone ASAP?

A phone can be one of the most valuable investments for an individual. But, unfortunately, it contains all the personal data, which is highly sensitive. Hence, it always becomes essential to take proper measures when it comes to the device’s security. So, what are some ways to lock your iPhone?

Firstly, you can use a passcode or a fingerprint scanner on your iPhone. This step will let you control who has access to your device with just one tap or swipe. Secondly, you can use an application like Smart Lock Pro, which will allow you to use your fingerprint to unlock your phone and tablet.

What is a Remote Lock, and How Does it Work?

A remote lock is a security measure that allows you to close an app from anywhere. For example, it will enable you to lock your phone remotely and track it via GPS. Losing or forgetting your phone is a common occurrence that can be solved with the remote locking feature of Find My iPhone. With this feature, you can remotely lock your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

How to Track Your Lost or Stolen iPhone with the Help of an Activation Lock Feature?

Activation Lock is a great security feature, which requires you to sign in with your Apple ID and password before your iPhone can be used. Without these credentials, new users will not be able to access the device.

This feature prevents new users from accessing the phone without syncing it to an iCloud account previously connected to the device. This way, if a thief steals your phone and tries to use it, they will not access any of the data because they do not have your login information for iCloud.

How To Lock Your Lost or Stolen iPhone Remotely Via iCloud.com

You need to log in to your iCloud.com account, which will show you a list of devices registered with your Apple ID. Select the one that was lost or stolen and click on “Find My iPhone.” The Find my iPhone service allows users to remotely lock their device with a passcode, send a message with contact information for the user, or erase their device if it is lost or stolen. 

Apple has developed an interface for customers who need to access their iCloud accounts on another device but don’t have an iCloud login ID and password. One of the essential features of this service is that it can be accessed through the Safari browser on any computer. In addition, users now can sign in to their iCloud account remotely via the “iCloud Login” page at iCloud support.
