Erase Your iPhone’s Data After 10 Failed Passcode Attempts
Now, this is a pretty extreme measure, but you can make it so your iPhone deletes all its data if someone fails to enter the correct passcode after ten times. It’s definitely a solid extra layer of protection if you’re ever in an area where pickpocketers prowl.
- Open the Settings app.
- Scroll down and tap Face ID & Passcode.
- Enter your passcode.
- Scroll down and toggle Erase Data on.
- Tap Enable to confirm.
If you decide you don’t want this feature anymore, you can always repeat the steps and toggle it back off.
