Security Features
Security features help protect the information on iPhone from being accessed by others.
Passcodes and Data Protection
You can set a passcode that you must enter each time you turn on or wake up iPhone.
Set a passcode: Choose Settings > General > Passcode Lock and enter a 4-digit
passcode, then enter the passcode again to verify it. iPhone then requires you to enter
the passcode to unlock it or to display the passcode lock settings.
Setting a passcode turns on data protection. Data protection uses your passcode as
the key for encrypting mail messages and their attachments stored on iPhone. (Data
protection may also be used by some apps available in the App Store.) A notice at
the bottom of the Passcode Lock screen in Settings shows whether data protection
is enabled.
To increase iPhone security, turn o Simple Passcode and use a longer passcode with
a combination of numbers, letters, punctuation, and special characters. See “Passcode
Lock” on page 195.
Important: On an iPhone 3GS that didn’t ship with iOS 4 or later, you must also restore
iOS software to enable data protection. See “Restoring iPhone” on page 257.
Prevent voice dialing when iPhone is locked: In Settings, choose General > Passcode
Lock and turn Voice Dial o. Unlock iPhone to use voice dialing.
