▌▌Basics of protection in IOS system ▌▌

IOS is one of the most popular operating systems in the world after Android
system. Apple recently added many security features and services to
protect users' data from hackers and intelligence attacks. But when it comes
to US national security, Apple can not do but providing help to the
intelligence agencies to track The jihadists and their supporters on the
Internet, as happened with brother Sayed Farouk (may Allah accept him)
the brother of San Bernardino operation, California, where Apple shared
all the data of his device on the servers of the company with the FBI, so
these are some of the basics of protection to Limit data sharing with Apple
Although we do not recommend buying Apple products from the US, we
recommend purchasing Nexus devices supported by the Cooperhead OS.

synchronized with Apple servers or your device has been hacked, that will
reveal your identity so we advise to avoid using this feature as it is a threat
to your privacy in this case.

the Internet, your system is at the mercy of your security procedures.

to access your personal data, that’s why users must always install system
updates to receive security repairs.
