A new iPhone feature can help keep your money safe—here’s how to turn it on

 As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, I don't have information on specific features introduced after that date. However, I can provide general guidance on how to enable security features on an iPhone that were available up to that point. If there's a new feature introduced since then, I recommend checking the latest information from Apple or trusted news sources for the most up-to-date instructions.

Here's a general guide on how to enable security features on an iPhone:

1. Passcode/Touch ID/Face ID:

   • Set up a strong passcode, or use Touch ID or Face ID for biometric authentication. You can do this in the "Settings" app under "Face ID & Passcode" or "Touch ID & Passcode."

2. Two-Factor Authentication:

   • Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) for an extra layer of security. This can be set up in the "Settings" app under your Apple ID, then "Password & Security."

3. Find My iPhone:

   • Enable "Find My iPhone" in the "Find My" app. This feature helps locate your device if it's lost or stolen and can also remotely erase your personal data. You can find this in the "Settings" app under your Apple ID, then "Find My."

4. App Store Purchases:

   • Set up Face ID/Touch ID authentication for App Store purchases. You can find this in the "Settings" app under "Face ID & Passcode" or "Touch ID & Passcode," and then toggle on "iTunes & App Store."

5. Apple Pay:

   • Use Apple Pay for secure transactions. Set it up and ensure that you have a secure method of authentication, such as Face ID or Touch ID. This can be configured in the "Wallet & Apple Pay" section in the "Settings" app.

6. Privacy Settings:

   • Review and adjust app permissions in the "Privacy" section of the "Settings" app. This allows you to control which apps have access to sensitive data like location, contacts, and more.

7. Automatic App Updates:

   • Turn on automatic app updates to ensure that you have the latest security patches. This can be found in the "App Store" section of the "Settings" app.

For the most accurate and recent information, check the official Apple support website or the settings menu on your device, and look for any announcements or updates related to new security features.
