Security

Security features help protect the information on iPhone from being accessed by others.

Use a passcode with data protection

For better security, you can set a passcode that must be entered each time you turn on or wake

up iPhone.

Set a passcode. Go to Settings > Touch ID & Passcode (iPhone models with Touch ID) or

Settings > Passcode (other models), then set a 4-digit passcode.

Setting a passcode turns on data protection, using your passcode as a key to encrypt Mail

messages and attachments stored on iPhone, using 256-bit AES encryption. (Other apps may

also use data protection.)

Increase security. Turn o Simple Passcode and use a longer passcode. To enter a passcode that’s

a combination of numbers and letters, you use the keyboard. If you prefer to unlock iPhone using

the numeric keypad, create a passcode using numbers only.

Add ngerprints and set options for the Touch ID sensor. (iPhone models with Touch ID) Go to

Settings > Touch ID & Passcode. See Touch ID sensor, below.

Allow access to features when iPhone is locked. Go to Settings > Touch ID & Passcode (iPhone

models with Touch ID) or Settings > Passcode (other models). Optional features include:

•

•

Siri (if enabled, see Siri settings on page 48)

•

Passbook (see Chapter 26, Passbook, on page 122 )

•

Reply with Message (see When someone calls on page 50)

Allow access to Control Center when iPhone is locked. Go to Settings > Control Center. See

Control Center on page 34.
