Privacy & Security

There are a couple of ways to share your location from an iPhone, but this might be the quickest! Here's how to share your location from your iPhone or iPad in a text message using predictive text.

Have you ever checked your saved passwords and seen a message about compromised passwords on your iPhone? This is Apple’s way of helping you stay secure. When you see a compromised password notification on your iPhone, it’s your iPhone letting you know that some of your passwords are not as secure as you might think. However, if you do not need this warning, there’s an easy way to turn it off.

Enabling two-factor authentication is a great way to secure any account, but Apple takes things a step further with physical security keys. These fancy gadgets serve as an extra barrier to safeguarding your Apple Account from security breaches.

Privacy screen protectors have become popular in recent years. These nifty screen protectors make it so that your phone screen can only be seen from straight on. When looking at the screen from an angle, the screen simply appears black. But do you need a privacy screen protector?

A couple of years ago, a series of iPhone thefts that led to users losing access to their Apple Accounts prompted Apple to add a feature called Stolen Device Protection. This feature has a security delay that prevents changes to your Apple Account or iPhone security when away from familiar locations. Here's how to turn off the security delay on your iPhone.

Everybody gets phishing emails. But sometimes it’s not always easy to determine if an email is from a legitimate email address or if it’s a scam. In this tip, we’ll show you how to check if an email is valid in the Mail app.

When you subscribe to iCloud+, you gain access to Hide My Email. The iCloud Hide My Email feature allows you to generate dummy email accounts that automatically forward any emails sent to that account to your real email address. The advantage here is that you don't have to share your email address with a site or person you don't trust, and they can't sell your real email address to other websites. When you're done with the dummy email address, simply deactivate it and stop getting spam!

Face ID has been the default for Apple's smartphone security since its debut. However, if you'd like to share your iPhone with a partner, friend, or child, unlocking might be a little difficult. Luckily, just like Touch ID allows you to save multiple fingers, there is a way to allow another face to unlock your iPhone. We'll show you how to add another Face ID.
