Keep your data safer
"Always ensure that your iPad is set to auto-lock in two minutes," says ProPrivacy digital privacy expert Ray Walsh. "This will ensure that if the device is lost or left unattended, it locks up and stops anybody from being able to access its contents." Without doing this, Walsh explains, "if someone finds your iPad and it is unlocked, they can go into the settings to set the auto-lock to 'never,' which will give them ongoing access to the device and its contents. An unsecured lock screen will display snippets of emails, app notifications, messages, and other potentially sensitive data." That's why he says it's important to, head into your settings and secure the lock screen so that it doesn't display anything potentially private or sensitive.
Beyond that, it is essential to keep your software up to date. "Always ensure that you accept iOS updates, as these are designed to protect you against potential vulnerabilities and exploits," Walsh advises. "If you are concerned that the device might not have been updated recently, head to Settings > General > Software Update and then tap Download and Install."
