iOS 17.3 RC released: adds device anti-theft function to protect privacy

News on January 18th, early this morning, Apple pushed the iOS 17.3 RC version update to iPhone users. More than a month has passed since the release of the Beta version.

The release of the RC version indicates that the system as a whole has been improved, and the official version will be pushed to all eligible iPhone users next week.

This version adds a new important feature - stolen device protection.

If the device is lost or stolen, by setting relevant options, this function can protect personal information from being accessed by others, and even remotely control the device.

After the function is turned on, if the phone is in an infrequently used location, some private operations on the iPhone must require Face ID or Touch ID authentication.

For example, view or use passwords or keys in iCloud Keychain, turn off Lost Mode, delete content or settings, use iPhone to set up a new device, and perform operations in the wallet etc.

In addition, changing the Apple ID password, iPhone password, turning off "Find" and turning off Face ID and other functions require 1 hour after completing the authentication before they can be operated.

In addition to theft protection, 2024 Unity wallpapers and Apple Watch watch faces are also added to iOS 17.3.
