"Fortifica tu Dispositivo: Consejos Esenciales para Aumentar la Seguridad de Tu Teléfono o Tableta"

Las nuevas características en iOS 18 de Apple y Android 15 de Google permiten bloquear aplicaciones que contienen información sensible e incluso ocultarlas de la vista.

Losing a smartphone or tablet stuffed with your life’s details can be a nightmare, but your privacy may also be at risk in less obvious situations — like if you leave your unlocked phone unattended or if the children know your tablet’s passcode. While apps for financial or medical matters typically require their own passwords (and Apple’s Photos and Google Photos can hide specific pictures), the latest versions of iOS and Android offer new tools for further shielding sensitive content on your device. Here’s a quick overview.

Apple’s iOS 18, released in September, now includes the ability to lock apps that don’t already require a passcode, Face ID or Touch ID to open them. Apple notes that look-alike siblings and children could bypass Face ID, so use a secret passcode if that’s a concern.
