Your iPhone could be giving hackers access to your personal information without you realizing it. Protect yourself by changing these two settings immediately.First, turn off “Auto-Join Wi-Fi.” Hackers often exploit public networks to access your data. To disable it, go to Settings, then Wi-Fi and ensure “Ask to Join Networks” is off. This prevents your phone from automatically connecting to unsecured networks.Second, adjust your screen sharing settings. Hackers nearby can attempt to connect to your screen. To stop this, go to Settings, then General, then AirPlay & Continuity. Under “Automatically AirPlay,” switch the setting to “Ask” or “Never.”These quick changes can help safeguard your privacy and protect your personal information.
