You may not even be familiar with this option, or you may not know where it is activated, however, it is much more useful than you think, and you should configure it in case you do not have it, since it will not take you more than 1 minute to do so, and you could protect your iPhone in case of a theft.
It is a tool which is incorporated in the iPhone most current, and that will allow us to track it remotely, even though the thief knows our password and even Apple ID password, since he will not be able to modify it, at least immediately.
iPhone anti-theft protection
It is true that the best way to protect your iPhone is to have a password for both the phone itself and the iCloud that is secure, and that no one knows, not even your family or your friends. However, if through carelessness they manage to see it, or it is simply so easy that they discover it, we could be in danger, since they could unpair iPhone from Find My and stay with our phone, clean and without the possibility of tracking it to find it again.
To avoid this, Apple introduced a security system that will prevent someone from changing the password without a reasonable amount of time passing, which means that even you yourself will not be able to do it, although it will depend on the configuration you have.
As we can see, in my case, I have the “in unknown locations” option activated, which means that, if I am at home, connected to my trusted WiFi network, I will not have to wait for anything, and the iPhone itself will detect that everything is fine. However, if I appear 5 km away, and precisely at that moment, I request an unlink from Search, or change of Apple ID, this protection will kick in, preventing it, at least automatically, giving us time to find the iPhone in case it has been stolen from us and they are trying this.
At this point you can select either of the two options, although keep in mind that, if the person who steals your iPhone knows where you live or where you usually hang out, it will be easier for them to evade the security systemand in this case it could be more interesting to always have it active, something that will not be necessary if we travel and move a lot, since if someone takes it away from our home, they will not be able to do anything with it.
And you, did you know about this iPhone function? Do you think it is necessary, or is it better to protect our passwords so that no one knows them, preventing them from changing them in this or another way? The truth is that if the key is good, it should be enough, but in that case you wouldn't need to change it either, so why not have a double security system? It is something very simple to activate and that may save us one day, even though we may not think about it now.
Leave us a comment with your opinion, and if you have this activated or you didn't even know the option existed. The truth is that many are unaware of it, and only investigate when it happens to them.
