I don't think so IIRC, but I'll look for one.

I knew there had to be at least one other XR owner on the planet…
Can I suggest,
Allow auto background app updates - easier/cleaner.
Enable ‘Remove unused apps’ - saves memory/cleaner.
Use DuckDuckGo as search engine for Safari - much more secure than the others(apply for a free @duck.com email address while your doing it!).
Using a VPN in addition to DDG - filters ads and other rubbish.
Subscribe to iCloud+ and use iCloud mail and the other security features included - all encrypted/more secure.
Disable access to all Control Center options from lock-screen(torch and camera access are default) - more secure.
Just a few thoughts to maybe consider.
Cheers.

Good, speaking of security i would advice you to try Ravio OTP instead of Authy but the problem is no support Windows so only iPhone & Mac. im worrying about it i am trying to find good like Ravio, Authy is not very security ;/
The KeyChain is complicated and mess up sometimes because of iCloud software for Windows i dont like it and not sure about the security, i would say use Bitwarden which it would be easy for you to use Windows as PC since an iPhone isn't nearly you sometimes, and you dont have Mac right obviously
Check out AdGuard for iOS that can block Ads, banner cookies, trackers, malware on the Safari, etc you can learn this

Thank you for the suggestion! I was also unaware that exnteions for iOS even existed, so thank you again!
Update: Usually I keep things minimalistic, and in different keychains, but most of the time I have it all where I need without having to have a password manager. Also IMO authy is good for now, since I only use it for 3 apps and I don't have to worry much about anything getting lost / stolen. I haven't tried iCloud for Windows, is it worth it?
