Keep your device's both software and hardware safe.

For many people, their whole life is contained on their iPhone. So, keeping it safe and secure is pretty important.

If you haven't already, make sure your iPhone locks when not in use. If your device already locks, make it lock quicker, so that it requires a passcode immediately. It might be an annoyance as a user, but it can help make sure you are your phone's only user.

Also, make sure to enable the "Find my iPhone" feature. If your phone is stolen or lost, this feature lets you track it from another iOS device or a laptop.
