The iPhone is the most expensive mobile phone on the market and also holds personal data of tremendous value to criminals. A recent Wall Street Journal report reveals that hackers are monitoring users as they enter their passcodes onto the device, learning how to determine the code. This information can be used to reset the password on Apple ID and gain access to all of the user’s information within iCloud. Apple is currently working on changing its software to combat these methods. There are several ways you can shield your iPhone from hackers who steal apps.

Set a strong password. Regardless of whether you use Touch ID, Face ID or the numeric code with four numbers make it as difficult as it is to guess. This is the first step to keeping thieves from gaining access to your iPhone and personal information.

Then, go through all the apps that have access to your location services, camera, microphone and other features on your iPhone. If you notice any suspicious behavior (for instance apps asking for your camera or contact list) take those permissions off immediately. You can enable two-factor authentication within the Settings application as well as any other apps which support it. This will stop thieves from accessing your iCloud and downloading your personal information from the cloud.

A trusted security app will provide a range of end-to-end safeguards for your iPhone. Trend Micro’s app for free Mobile Security, for example analyzes Internet behavior to identify malicious websites and adware, as well safeguarding your iPhone from identity theft on social media sites such as Instagram. The app also safeguards your privacy and provides an ad blocker feature for the most reliable protection. F-Secure’s SAFE is a good option for a secure iOS experience. The app provides a comprehensive security suite, which includes a vault for up to 40 photos and an alert for leaks in passwords that will notify you if your email password is exposed.
