STOP USING YOUR IPHONE LIKE THIS 🔒

Key iPhone privacy/security settings to change (recommended in the video)

1. Disable Control Center access when the phone is locked

   • Path: Settings → Face ID & Passcode (enter passcode) → turn off Control Center
   • Why: Prevents someone from accessing Control Center while the iPhone is locked, so they can’t enable settings like Airplane Mode or Wi‑Fi, or otherwise tamper with the device without unlocking it.

2. Harden Safari tracking protections

   • Path: Settings → Safari → Advanced → Advanced Tracking and Fingerprint Protection
   • Setting: Switch to Private Browsing
   • Why: Reduces cross-site tracking and fingerprinting activity, limiting how websites can monitor user behavior in the background.

3. Stop apps from requesting permission to track you

   • Path: Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking
   • Setting: Turn off Allow Apps to Request to Track
   • Why: Blocks apps from repeatedly asking permission to track your activity across other apps and websites.

4. Video format / tutorial structure

   • The creator presents these as settings they turn off immediately after getting a new iPhone and suggests there’s more in a “part two” based on audience comments.
