Configure your iOS Lock Screen to block those picking up your device from reading messages, viewing the Today View, or interacting with Siri unless your device is unlocked first.

We spend a lot of time on our mobile iOS devices and it may seem that securing our devices with Touch ID and Face ID is all we need to protect our data.

In this tutorial, you will learn how to secure the Lock Screen so that your messages and push notifications aren't visible to anyone except you when you pick up your device.

By doing all of these things, you will make your device more secure and prevent onlookers, or someone picking up your device, from being able to gain access to any valuable information contained on the Lock Screen.

Siri is fairly secure by requiring you to unlock your device for many personal interaction requests, but if you want to ensure the highest privacy protection, you can disable Siri completely on the Lock Screen unless your device has authenticated with the passcode, Touch ID, or Face ID first.
