How to protect your iOS-device from intruders

Are you still using iOS 6 on their devices? Still you think it's the best choice? Maybe, if it's a choice for the thief. Not everyone knows that in iOS 7 is built a new defense mechanism, which will help you find your missing (stolen) device, as well as to prevent its resale to third parties. Are you sure you still think that you need to stay on the "six"?

To turn the lock function of the smartphone or tablet, just follow four simple steps:

1. Make sure that your device has the latest version of the firmware iOS 7;
2. Open the "Settings";
3. Scroll down the menu and select iCloud;
4. Once again, scroll down a bit and activate the setting "Find iPhone».

Done. This is enough to enable you to find your gadget in the event of loss. But that's not all. Now, if the thief does not know your combination Apple ID + password, he can not turn off this setting. Moreover, even after the restoration of devaysa to factory settings and complete his discharge after switching it again ask you to enter the ID and password of your account.

Well, whether or not to remain now on the previous version, or it is better to switch to a new one? I think the argument in favor of the latter option quite significant.

But that there was no misunderstanding, I immediately will warn you about the possible nuances.

Firstly, if you decide to sell your device, be sure to turn off the "Find iPhone» in the settings. This will get rid of yourself and the buyer from headaches.

Second, do not install the jailbreak. If you have activated the item "Find the iPhone", but at the same time is set to "Jail" - this increases the risk. In theory, the device still can be restored as a new, dropping a bundle id and password, as in this case, the thief will be direct access to the phone's resources. If you do not put a jailbreak on your device, the thief will not be able to access it in any other way. At least this is true now, and I think still quite a long time will be important later.
