Tips to keep your iPhone protected during Carnival!

If you are part of the group that loves to party every year, this is the most anticipated season! ????

O Carnaval 2023 promises to take a crowd to the streets of Brazil – especially after two years without very significant parties due to the pandemic of the new Coronavirus (COVID-19).

But, so that this party doesn’t become a nightmare, it’s important that you follow some safety tips. In this article, we’ll take a look at your iPhone — after all, no one wants to stop capturing every moment of the most famous party in Brazil, right? ????

Leave the iPhone in a safe place and close to your body — those little bags to carry money on trips or even to practice running, for example, are great. The point is: avoid putting it in a backpack with a backward opening.
If your friends and/or family members have Apple devices, add them to Find My so they can locate your device.
Still on the Find My app, make sure iPhone tracking is turned on. So, in case of robbery or theft, you can locate it on the map.
- If this happens, look for a police authority and file a police report (BO). Here, it might be a good idea to keep your iPhone’s serial number and IMEI down somewhere else.
Use a strong, secure password on your phone — preferably one with six digits or even an alphanumeric one.
Put a password on your SIM card.
Make sure you use two-factor authentication and on apps like WhatsApp and Telegram.
If you want to further increase the protection of these apps, activate biometric protection (Touch ID or Face ID) in apps like WhatsApp and Telegram, too.
Avoid keeping bank applications on your cell phone during Carnival. If you carry physical cards with your iPhone (like the leather wallet with MagSafe), set a low limit and use available security services. Nubank, for example, recently launched the Street Mode.
Protect your account password (Apple ID) and remove Touch ID/Face ID settings by enabling Screen Time restrictions — we teach you how to do all of that in this article.
