iOS 17.4 Bolsters iPhone Security With Enhanced Stolen Device Protection
- iOS 17.4 adds enhanced Stolen Device Protection features to give you more control over iPhone security
- Stolen Device Protection requires biometric authentication and a 1-hour delay to access sensitive data if you're in an unfamiliar location
- You can now make Stolen Device Protection always require the 1-hour security delay no matter where you are
- Enable this by going to Face ID & Passcode settings and toggling "Always" under Require Security Delay
- Stolen Device Protection only protects certain settings - it doesn't fully safeguard things like Apple Pay purchases
