In the digital age, when all information from bank accounts, passwords, private images to user locations is stored on the phone, protecting personal data becomes an essential need.
Although Apple is famous for its tight security ecosystem, iPhone users still need to proactively protect themselves from data leakage risks.
Here are 5 reliable applications to enhance personal data security on iPhone:
1. 1 Password - Safe Password Management
This application helps you store all your passwords, PIN codes and personal information in a digital safe encrypted with the AES-256 algorithm. 1 Password also has the ability to create a strong password and automatically fill in information when logged in.
Using the same password for multiple accounts is a big risk. Password management applications like 1 Password are a basic but extremely effective protection step, said TechRepublic cybersecurity expert James Sanders.
2. protonVPN - Protecting privacy when surfing the web
Although Safari has supported private web browsing, VPNs are still the necessary additional layer of protection. protonVPN encryps all of your internet traffic, avoiding being tracked by service providers, third-party apps, or hackers. This Swiss application does not save logs and has a transparent security policy.
3. Signal - send absolutely private messages
Unlike iMessage, Signal does not save any message data on the server. Every end-to-end conversation is encrypted, including photos, calls, and video calls. This is an application recommended by many journalists, security experts and human rights experts.
4. Jumbo - Automated privacy management
Jumbo works as a personally-centric security assistant that helps check privacy settings on Facebook, Google, Instagram, and even the iPhone. The app can delete your search history, prevent advertising tracking, and remind you to update access to other apps.
5. MyPermissions - Monitoring application access rights
This application allows you to check which application is accessing personal information such as Facebook account, positioning, photo or social media account. The intuitive interface helps you quickly revoke access when detecting abnormalities.
