  1. 0:09Nace strengthens the passcode and disables access to Control Center while the iPhone is locked.
  2. 1:43Two-factor authentication and a trusted phone number add protection to the Apple Account.
  3. 2:27He enables Find My iPhone, Find My network and Send Last Location.
  4. 3:17He enables automatic security updates, then demonstrates requiring Face ID to open a banking app.
  5. 5:07He restricts location access for apps that do not need it.
  6. 6:19Stolen Device Protection adds security delays; the closing section introduces Lockdown Mode for people at high risk of spyware.

A locked iPhone can still leave some controls within reach. Trevor Nace starts his security walkthrough there, showing how to block access to Control Center so someone holding the phone cannot simply swipe down and switch on Airplane Mode.

His upload, "How To Make Your Phone Unhackable", passed 100,000 views before its first day was over. A regular video on his channel typically draws only a few thousand in that opening day. Security is familiar territory for Nace: tutorials about tracking, listening and checking for spying are already among his most watched uploads.

Despite the sweeping title, the walkthrough is built around individual settings. Nace strengthens the passcode, shortens Auto-Lock, enables two-factor authentication and switches on Find My options. He also demonstrates requiring Face ID to open a banking app, rather than leaving access dependent only on getting into the phone.

The final stretch addresses a more specific problem: a thief who already knows the passcode. Nace enables Stolen Device Protection and its security delays before reaching Lockdown Mode. Of that last feature, he says: "This isn't intended for everyone, just high-risk individuals."

The comments bring the checklist back to everyday habits. One viewer wants to keep using Control Center while locked and suggests removing its Airplane Mode control instead. Another asks whether turning off Bluetooth in a coffee shop helps, while an Android user asks Nace for a version for their phone.

What viewers say

  • I use control center a lot when my phone is locked. A better way for me is to remove airplane mode from the control center. You can add individual items like Bluetooth and WiFi.
  • I turn off Bluetooth when I go into a coffee shop or pub. Does this make sense or help at all ?
