I update apps automatically .
The only reason because I don't have iOS 10 yet is because it still has lots of bugs ;)

I recommend adguard: it has many filters that you can enable ( like ublock origin ) and , if it misses some ads , it has a tool to easily add specific filters for them by simply tap safely the ad )


Oh! Two step authentication on iCloud of course !


I appreciate suggestions :)

No Touch ID?

I had it. Then i disabled it because ( maybe it sounds stupid / improbable / paranoid ) I don't know how Apple Store my fingerprint so I imagined that if a crew of hackers come into apple servers ( like yahoo maybe , something like that, but I could be wrong ) I can change a pin/ pw many times but not my hands :D

About Touch ID security on iPhone and iPad

Secure Enclave
Touch ID doesn't store any images of your fingerprint. It stores only a mathematical representation of your fingerprint. It isn't possible for someone to reverse engineer your actual fingerprint image from this mathematical representation. The chip in your device also includes an advanced security architecture called the Secure Enclave which was developed to protect passcode and fingerprint data. Fingerprint data is encrypted and protected with a key available only to the Secure Enclave. Fingerprint data is used only by the Secure Enclave to verify that your fingerprint matches the enrolled fingerprint data. The Secure Enclave is walled off from the rest of the chip and the rest of iOS. Therefore, iOS and other apps never access your fingerprint data, it's never stored on Apple servers, and it's never backed up to iCloud or anywhere else. Only Touch ID uses it, and it can't be used to match against other fingerprint databases.

Enable Touch ID.

Wow thank you ! :) you reassured me , so probably I will turn Touch ID on again.

But remember of Apple/FBI, nothing is absolutely secure .
But since I am not a terrorist or something like that , I should be pretty safe




Ok I turned on fingerprint again :)

I want to specify that my iPhone locks after 30 seconds of inactivity ( in the option you set immediately or more than a minute ), or if I touch the power button


And nothing can be seen from the lock screen( no Notification Center ,no app from the bottom, except for camera that can't Be disabled it seems )


@Spawn sorry for bothering: maybe I wrongly understood your wizard : you say pin and passcode , actually the 4 or 6 digit is called passcode on my iPhone ( English language ) And I was using it . It seems there is nothing called PIN ( the only pin is that one of the SIM card ) , and it seems you are obliged to turn on passcode even if you use Touch ID to unlock the iphone . It is right ?
