📱🚀 Apple has just launched the highly anticipated iOS 17.3 update! This major update brings Stolen Device Protection, collaborative Apple Music playlists, and a host of other exciting features to enhance your mobile experience. If you’re curious about what this update has in store for you, you’ve come to the right place. Let’s dive in! 💪🎉
Stolen Device Protection: Fortify Your Security Fortress
🔒 We’ve all heard horror stories about iPhones being stolen, leading to drained bank accounts and stolen passwords. Well, fret no more! Apple has introduced Stolen Device Protection in iOS 17.3 to provide an extra layer of security.
🕵️♀️ The new Stolen Device Protection feature prevents total catastrophe by requiring biometric authentication (🔑 Face ID or 👆 Touch ID) for actions like accessing passwords in iCloud Keychain, turning off Lost Mode, erasing content, and making purchases in Safari. So even if a thief gets their grubby paws on your iPhone and passcode, they won’t be able to wreak havoc on your digital life. Phew! 😅
💡 What actions require biometric authentication? Here’s the scoop: – Viewing/using passwords or passkeys saved in iCloud Keychain – Applying for a new Apple Card – Viewing an Apple Card virtual card – Turning off Lost Mode – Erasing all content and settings – Taking certain Apple Cash and Savings actions in Wallet – Using payment methods saved in Safari – Using your iPhone to set up a new device
🚨 But wait, there’s more! Certain actions like changing your Apple ID password require Face ID and have a one-hour security delay. This ensures that even if someone tries to tamper with your Apple ID, it won’t be a walk in the park for them. So be rest assured, your digital fortress is becoming impregnable! 🏰🛡️
📌 Pro tip: Remember, these biometric-authenticated actions don’t have a passcode backup, so you can’t sneak past Face ID or Touch ID. And actions with a one-hour security delay include changing your Apple ID password, updating select Apple ID account security settings, changing your iPhone passcode, adding or removing Face ID or Touch ID, turning off Find My, and turning off Stolen Device Protection.
☑️ To activate Stolen Device Protection, head to the Settings app, go to Face ID & Passcode, and toggle on this life-saving feature.
