4 iPhone Mistakes That Are Putting Your Personal Data At Risk

Not Using Apple’s Advanced Data Protection (ADP) Failing to enable Advanced Data Protection can leave your data vulnerable. ADP encrypts your iCloud data, ensuring that only you can access it

Without this feature, your sensitive information may be exposed to unauthorized access.

Leaving AirDrop On Keeping AirDrop enabled can expose you to unwanted file transfers from nearby users.

This setting allows anyone nearby to send files to your device, which could include malicious content. It's advisable to turn off AirDrop when not in use by going to Settings > General > AirDrop.

Ignoring Location Services Settings Many apps request access to your location, and not all of them need it. 

By leaving location services on for all apps, you may inadvertently share your location data with apps that don’t require it. You can manage these settings under Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services.

Not Securing Your Lock Screen An unprotected lock screen can lead to unauthorized access to your personal data. Ensure you have a strong passcode and review the settings under Settings > Face ID & Passcode to disable access to sensitive apps and features when the phone is locked.
