If you have an iPhone your information can now be even more protected. Apple’s major iPhone security update is now available to download. It’s designed to keep thieves from accessing users’  personal data stored on the devices.

It’s called the “Stolen Device Protection” update and adds an extra layer of protection by creating additional steps to access information. You can turn it on by updating your iPhone and scrolling down to Face ID & Passcode in your settings. You will be prompted to type in your passcode, and then you can scroll down to Stolen Device Protection and turn it on.

The extra security measures are only enacted when a user is away from a familiar location like work or home. These locations are automatically learned and stored by the device.
