Apple’s iPhone 7 comes with a range of new features including private data transfer whereby users can transfer their passwords, history of visited sites and other data from the old device to the new one
As well as having all the bells and whistles a new smartphone is a beacon for hackers, who’d like to access all the important information – personal bank account data, credit card passwords, name, address, social media accounts and so on.
With that in mind, here is a list of some security apps that might come in handy if you purchase an iPhone 7.
Secure Messaging Apps
Tor Messenger is launched by Tor Project creators, who offer an encrypted Internet browser, synonymous with the dark web. Tor Messenger is a cross-platform chat app that is secure by default and sends all messages over Tor Network. The app supports a number of transport networks, such as IRC, Google Talk, Facebook Chat, Yahoo, and others, and enables Off-The-Record (OTR) messaging – a safe and encrypted way to have private conversations – over Tor’s network of computers for greater anonymity. Signal is an encrypted messaging and voice calling app that provides end-to-end encryption to secure all communications. The app can also verify the identity of people one is messaging with and the integrity of the channel they are using. When texting with non-Signal users, you can invite them to an encrypted conversation via Signal.
Password Security Apps
It’s always advised to change passwords in order to stay safe online, and that means having to use a unique password for each site or account. Remembering so many passwords can be a chore. As a result, many people keep the same password for almost everything. 1Password for Teams lets a team securely log in with only one single password, as the app remembers all the real passwords. The data is encrypted before any information leaves a device.
Internet Encryption Apps.
Those who aim to keep all their online activity private, should get a VPN for their phone. A VPN creates a connection tunnel that automatically encrypts all the data coming in and out of a device, secures the Internet traffic, and effectively protects anyone using the Internet. NordVPN is said to be fast and easy to use. The developers have launched a new app for iPhone that is intuitive. The new iOS app re-routes and encrypts all Internet traffic making the connection private and secure, claims the manufacturer.
Email Security Apps
Industrial espionage is getting more sophisticated. That’s why people need a secure app that will encrypt all emails. M for iOS, also known as Mynigma provides automatic end-to-end encryption directly on the device, not in the cloud. It allows users to manage keys and can be used across devices. The ZeroEmail App is a self-learning email app created to organise the inbox by relevance or importance. It has an original card-style format that allows for single swiping. Zero does not store messages and personal information on remote servers, meaning it all stays on the phone.
iPhone Data Security Apps
Keeply is a spy-level app for an average user. It stores a user’s private moments and data – pins, credit cards, notes, photos and videos – on the phone. Features of the app include Fake Pin, which is an alternate password that the user can give to their nosy friends or family – when they enter it, the app shows an empty application. Face-down Lock, on the other hand, causes Keeply to close immediately when it’s placed face down. It can also take a photo of anyone who enters a wrong pin into the phone.
Paired Device Lock Apps
iPhone security apps can go one step further than smartphone’s protection – these apps can also save a user’s computer, remotely. If you are away from your computer and suddenly remember that you have left your work computer on with some private windows open, the LockItUp app allows you to lock a PC or Mac remotely by using the iPhone 7. It’s cloud-based, so there’s no need to be on the same wifi or network for it to work. The app runs in the background quietly and consumes very little CPU. A similar app is Knock2.0 whereby a user can lock their Mac by knocking on their iPhone twice, even if it¹s in the pocket. For Apple Watch users, too. A user can lock or unlock their Mac with just one tap after a fingerprint is provided.
