Because every other person has an iPhone nowadays, and everyone has some very personal data in the iPhone itself, and to know when whose phone is in his hands? Or any hacks? There's nothing to panic, I'll tell you some security settings and apps that will keep your iPhone safe.

Keep your iOS up to date

To keep your iPhone or iPad safe, first of all we need to keep your phone updated. This is very important because when hackers see a decrease in iOS or an operating system, then Apple makes it more secure by updating it.
You can also make the OTA Update from the iPhone to the computer.

OTA UPDATE:

Go to Settings> General> Software Update If there is a software update showing it then download it and install it.

To Update Through iTunes:

Connect your iPhone to a computer, open iTunes and select your device at the top left window. After that click on Summary and click on Check For Update. If you had any updates, please download and update it. And if your phone is locked you may have to enter your passcode.

But keep in mind iTunes is very slow update, it will be better if you update your iPhone from OTA.

Activate Find My iPhone

This feature helps you find your lost phone as well as help you delete the lost phone data. So that no misuse of your data.

Go to Settings> iCloud Select iCloud scroll down to it and click on Find My iPhone. And click above and enable Toggle Green. And you can also enable Send Last Location, which will send the phone's last location when your phone's battery is low.

To use My Phone to Locate or Remote Wipe Your Device:

Log in to your iCloud Account from another iOS Device or Website. Select Find My iPhone here. Now there you will find 3 options: Play Sound, Lost Mode, Erase iPhone The ring will ring in your phone from Play Sound If your phone is nearby, then Lost Mode lets you send a message to your lost phone which will appear on the iPhone's lock screen and with the help of Erase iPhone, you can get all the settings of your iPhone and Data can be deleted.

Use Two-Factor Authentication

You know that Data Breaches are getting a lot nowadays, and your data is not safe at all. If you see this, you should enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) in iCloud Account. When you enable 2FA and sign in for the first time with a new device, then you will see the 6-digit Verification Code on your Trusted Device. If someone also receives the password of your 2FA account, they will not be able to get the verification code from your Trusted Device.

Turn on 2FA on your iPhone:

For iOS 10.3 and later, go to Settings> [Your Name]> Password & Security If you are using the old version from iOS 10.2 go to settings> iCloud> Apple ID> Password & Security And on Two-Factor Authentication.

Use a Longer Passcode

If you have to keep your data safe, it is good to have 4 digit passcode, so that you have 8-10 digit passcode, put numbers and letters.

To change your passcode:

Go to Settings> Touch ID & Passcode (or Face ID & Passcode for iPhone X Users) and Change Your Passcode

Automatically Wipe iPhone Data

iPhone gives you another nice feature, which increases the security of your phone, called Erase Data. If you put 10 incorrect passcode, then the phone will make itself more secure. Because sometimes children accidentally do this. And even if you can also on the Erase Data feature on it.

Go to Settings> Touch ID & Passcode Now you enter your current passcode and make Toggle Enable

Turn Off Siri

Siri feature does help us, but sometimes it bounces in front of anyone despite having your Personal Information Lock. Do not panic, there is also Solution on this.

Go to Settings> Touch ID & Passcode Enter your Passcode And click on Siri to Off Allow When Locked.
