Apple is bringing special security features for its iPhone users. This feature will protect users’ phones from theft. This feature has recently been added to iOS 18.1, which some users have also started getting. This security feature automatically reboots the device if the phone remains locked for a long time. Because of this, it becomes difficult for hackers to bypass the security of the phone. This feature has been seen in some iPhone models.
According to reports, the US Police Department found some iPhone models kept for forensic investigation to be rebooted repeatedly. Due to automatic reboot, it became difficult to bypass the phone’s security. According to the report of 404 Media, there was a problem in unlocking the device due to repeated reboots. Due to this, the police could not investigate this phone properly.
Apple recently added this new feature
According to media reports, Michigan Police has said that Apple has recently added this feature so that the phone gets the signal to reboot from other devices. However, a security researcher has discovered the Inactivity Reboot security feature in the code of iOS 18.2. This feature has been specially designed in such a way that if the phone is not unlocked for a long time, the phone will automatically reboot.
Hackers will not be able to steal data
After the introduction of this security feature, hackers or phone thieves will not be able to steal data. Due to frequent rebooting of the phone, the possibility of data theft will be reduced. Let us tell you that Apple encrypts user data in two ways. In iPhone, data before first unlock and after first unlock is encrypted.
