Ninjas Tips to Enhance Privacy on Your iPhone

IPhone (iOS), by default, gives you free access to a variety of system features, such as notifications, Control Center, and widgets, even with your phone locked. The goal is to facilitate the use of some basic system functions, but this may expose your privacy.

Unauthorized people with minimal knowledge can easily read and respond to messages from chat apps, call Siri, view the widgets with personal information (stock-in-stock, for example), and even add / remove alarms.

See the tutorial below for a selection of tips on how to disable access to control centers and notifications, Siri and widgets in order to enhance the privacy of Apple's system. The steps are valid for both the iPhone and the iPad or iPod Touch.
