Hopefully your iPhone (or other iDevice) will never be lost or stolen, but in the event it happens you'd probably feel better if the finder or thief didn't have full access to all your private data. There may also be a few things you don't want friends to accidentally discover when they borrow your mobile for quick use. Here's how to lock down all your private data so you don't have to worry about it. When it comes to locking down your iPhone, you basically have two options: standard and jailbreak. There's a lot more you can do with jailbreak apps and tweaks, but you can still keep private data private with options available to every iOS user. We'll talk about the stuff anyone can use first, and then get into the jailbreak options. Jailbreaking is a process that changes little by little with each iOS upgrade. Keeping data private on a regular iPhone is pretty simple, though it involves making a few compromises. The obvious option is adding a password to your device, but that means your data is only protected when the phone is locked.
