Secret iPhone security feature you NEED to know about

[Lects]

Underrated, actually didn’t know about this

[mysticlyweird]

2nd option is only available on iPhones with the U1 chip, starting with the iPhone 11

There’s actually an app called Parachute that once it’s activated turns on both front and back cameras, 360 degree Omni mic, sends text and voice messages to preconfigured numbers, and broadcasts your GPS location. The screen is locked and blacked out. Location, audio, and video are continuously broadcast for real-time and historical tracking. If battery dies it will come back broadcasting once power is reapplied. Same if no signal. Will just record until signal then upload everything.

Most Samsung phones also have a feature to lock out biometrics called "lockdown mode" which can be accessed by holding down the power button for a few seconds. Also useful for the same situation.

So instead of forcing someone to use your fingerprint to unlock your phone, they're going to instead force you to put the passcode in.

Edit:Mom come see real quick so many likes😭

Another bit of trivia. A warrant can compel you to use biometrics you unlock your device. However, due to the 5th amendment a warrant cannot compel you to use your pin to unlock your phone. The 5th amendment protects what you know, not who you are from being used against you. In short, if you are ever arrested, always do this to disable biometrics to prevent your phone from being searched even with a warrant.

It also has a cool little feature called spying on you😂

[damian]

“This might be useful if anyone ever tries to force you into unlocking your phone” yeah, like law enforcement trying to break into the phone with designated tools

There was a video where a man said "I don't know how many of you still have that ... app on your phone, but it ... actually monitors everything that you do. Even when the phone is turned off, it is monitoring"
Obviously people called him crazy, and I do love a good vindication story.

[cmscms]

CORRECTION... even when your battery is dead, the phone is still listening, transmitting and tracking you... in passive mode, , for up to a week

[pythonboi]

And
If you know
In some states, police can use fingerprint Id or Face ID to open your phone but not the passcode
Sooo
Also good tip

[omerfawadrauf]

Is there a way I can force to keep location enabled on the phone. Regardless if someone tries to turn it off.
I’m thinking If someone takes the phone forcefully. And then they can be tracked.

[eryxviper]

THIS IS FANTASTIC.
All of the garbage shorts I kept watching were worth it. I’ve always wanted this feature in the back of my mind and now I know I just have it.
Thank you for the quality content

[adrianpilbrow]

My take away: Your phone is tracking you even when it's turned "off".

[dhruvsaxenadstar]

If someone is forcing me, he'll get the passcode as well 😂😂😂

[isaks]

We have a weird law about phones here in Sweden where this feature would be useful.

Police are not allowed to force someone to input their pass code to unlock their phone, but they can forcefully open your phone with biometrics.

So just disable the biometrics briefly and the men in blue can't access your phone.

Or just do what I did, which is registering the head of my penis as my 'finger print' which means that if I ever accidentally end up in trouble so the po po wants what's in my phone, would they have to force themselves onto my nether regions which in turn would mean that they just made themselves guilty for some sexual assault.

You can also activate this screen by pressing the power button 5 times. I find this easier to remember as a “panic” mode if law enforcement or TSA come for your phone.

[MrDubanddnb]

Hmm.. if someone force you to unlock, will force you to enter the passcode too...
In emergency situation why would you want to disable tracking info send at all

[Angel_cortes]

Wow first video that actually is useful !!!
