A special security feature is coming to millions of iPhone users. This feature will protect iPhone from data theft. The feature was recently added to iOS 18.1 and some users have already received it. This feature is already available on some iPhone models. This security feature automatically restarts the device if the phone is locked for an extended period of time, making it difficult to bypass the phone’s security.
New security features
According to reports, U.S. police departments have discovered that some iPhone models undergoing forensic investigations keep restarting. Automatic restarts make it difficult to bypass your phone’s security measures. According to 404 Media, there was a problem with unlocking the device due to multiple self-reboots. As a result, police face difficulties in investigating seized iPhones.
The outlet reported that Michigan police said in the document that Apple recently added this feature so that the phone can get a restart signal from other devices. However, a security researcher discovered the Inactivity Reboot security feature in the code of iOS 18.2. This feature is designed so that if the phone is not unlocked for a long time, it will automatically restart.
Data cannot be stolen!
With the introduction of this security feature, even if your iPhone is stolen, it’s just a box. This Apple feature does not allow the phone to be unlocked, so data theft is less likely. Apple encrypts user data in two ways. Data is encrypted before the device is first unlocked and after the device is first unlocked.
However, this is not the first time Apple has released security features for its iPhones. The company has disabled USB debugging by default in iPhones, so phone data cannot be accessed via USB.
