IOS 9 Bypass allows you to access photos and contacts on a locked iPhone. How to avoid it

code-lock

It is not the first time, but we would like it to be the last. Smartphones, of any brand but we are interested in the iPhone, have functions that allow us to access some sections quickly. These functions can be Siri or the camera, for example. Sometimes some people, who seem to have nothing better to do but that in this case serves for Apple to get down to work and correct the failure, they discover how to access a code-locked iPhone Access or Touch ID. This is something that has happened again in iOS 9, an operating system that was not officially launched a week ago.

In order to access an iPhone with iOS 9.0 installed and protected with code, it is necessary to perform a series of steps that do not benefit anyone who explains. Whoever wants to know them, do a little searching on the internet and you will find them. What I'm going to do in this article is report a security breach that allows any user to access our photos and contacts even if we have the iPhone, iPod or iPad protected with a lock code and How to solve it.

In this case, many steps are necessary to access our locked iPhone. Between these steps and for a user to access our information without our consent there is a key step that involves calling Siri, so the solution is to restrict its access on the lock screen. For this we will do the following:

  1. We open Settings and go to Touch ID and Code.
  2. We introduce the password.
  3. We deactivate Siri.

Especially if we have Touch ID, the only difference that we will notice is that we will have to press the home button once to unlock the iPhone and another to call Siri. I think it is worth it and all security measures are little, so I also recommend restrict access to the Control Center from the lock screen. To do this we only have to go to Settings, Control Center and deactivate Access with screen. blocked up. This problem would not have affected me because I already had both functions disabled before knowing the failure.

Precautions and criticisms of the people who are dedicated to looking for these failures apart (look that they will have to test things), neither Apple nor any company should allow anyone to access our information without our permission, so they should release an update soon to correct the fault.

    It's not supposed to be real. Many have been trying and it doesn't work. The iphone does not allow access after certain steps.

    Just tell you that in ios 8 I just did the same, so it is not a problem of ios 9 but it is inherited from ios 8

    Disproved this myth does not work on an iPhone 6 64GB with ios 9, I have tried it and when selecting the application «messages» they ask me for the unlock code and it does not allow me to access contacts or photos, it may be that on all devices this does not work, I at least stay calm, since I use Siri a lot with the iPhone locked, greetings

    I think another security problem is that the iPhone can be turned off without the need for an unlock code or touch id. If it disappears and they turn it off, what use is the iPhone locator?

    So do you have to disable Siri?
    And that's it? Everyone happy?
    Man, please ... Always the same. Soon we will start to cover functionalities, EH ...
