Protect your photos in three easy steps

photo security

Si you don't want to see yourself compromised for some intimate or simply ridiculous photo that you have on your iPhone, there are a number of measurements that are simple and that will help you keep these photos as private as possible.

Remember there is no perfect system, just the hardest way, so let's make it hard.

Get your photos from iCloud

If the photos you take on your iPhone are automatically uploaded to iCloud, they might be in a pot. Avoid it by removing this functionality.

  1. Go to Settings and access iCloud.
  2. Scroll down and access the section of Photos.
  3. Deactivate My photos in streaming y Share photos.

Delete compromised content from the streaming folder

If your photos were being automatically uploaded to iCloud, you have to verify that there are no incriminating photos left in the folder that is created for this functionality. This part is very simple, you just have to access the photo folders and from the one that is streaming, delete those with which you do not want to take any risk.

  1. Accede to Photos.
  2. Delete the compromised content of the folder «My photos in streaming«

Remember if you don't disable the functionality in iCloud, the folder will fill up again with images that you will have to filter regularly.

Set up XNUMX-Step Verification for iCloud

You can also set up XNUMX-Step Verification for your iCloud account. With two-step verification, you have to enter a special code sent to your phone or your individual recovery key (a separate password) to log into your iCloud account.

  • Go to My Apple ID.
  • Choose "Manage your Apple ID»And connect.
  • Choose "Password and security«.
  • Will request the answer to two of the questions you have as security questions.
  • Now the security options are opened where you can Manage security settings.
  • The first option is to activate the verification in two steps, click on Contac us.
  • A window offers you information about the security key that they will send you by SMS, click on Continue.
  • Another screen warns you that once this system is activated, solo you can make changes if you log in with this method.
  • Once you have passed the reminders of what you can and cannot do, you will have access to the service request, which will take 3 days.

Once the process is complete, every time you try to log into your iCloud account, Apple will ask you for the code. In this way, a hacker would need your iCloud username and physical phone to get to your content.

When setting the two step verification for your Apple ID, you must provide at least one phone number capable of working with SMS in order to receive temporary verification codes from Apple.

These codes are used to verify your identity and help keep your account protected. Text messages with verification codes are free. If you are not connected to your operator's network or Wi-Fi when you receive the message, your operator may charge you for data roaming.

In Spain, sending verification codes only works with the operators; Movistar, Yoigo, Orange and Vodafone. To see the operators that have this service in your country you can check it on the Appl websitee.
