MAKE YOUR APPLE WATCH MORE SECURE

PREVENT PRYING EYES FROM GAINING ACCESS TO INFO ON AN APPLE WATCH.

Prevent prying eyes from gaining access to info on an Apple Watch.

APPLE WATCHES STORE personal data, so it makes sense to be careful about keeping both the Watch and the informatio­n on it as safe as you can. Using a passcode and setting up a way to track your Watch if you do happen to mislay it are two good practices. There are also other settings you should pay attention to, such as those related to health and fitness.

In addition, the Watch and your iPhone sync your data, meaning you need to consider the privacy on your phone too. Since there is always a danger that someone could use your Watch to buy something with Apple Pay without your phone nearby, Watch security is something you should take very seriously. Luckily, protecting your Watch and your data doesn’t take long.
