iOS 17.3 adds Stolen Device Protection, Apple Music collaborative playlists, support for streaming
Apple has released iOS 17.3, which adds that Stolen Device Protection feature I told you about recently, also Apple Music collaborative playlists, support for streaming to more hotel TVs, and more. Quoting The Verge:
Instead of relying on your lock screen passcode for security (as thieves have learned to trick people into entering it in front of them before they take off with the phone), Stolen Device Protection requires you to scan your fingerprint or use Face ID when performing certain actions, such as viewing saved passwords or applying for a new Apple Card.
The feature also introduces a waiting period when performing more sensitive actions, such as changing your Apple ID password or your iPhone passcode. In the iOS 17.3 update note, Apple says, “Security Delay requires Face ID or Touch ID, an hour wait, and then an additional successful biometric authentication” before you can complete the process, ensuring the person who’s performing this action is actually you. Your iPhone will only require this extra layer of authentication when you’re away from “familiar locations such as home or work,” according to Apple. ENDQUOTE
To turn on Stolen Device Protection, go to the Settings app and select Face ID & Passcode. From there, enter your device passcode and toggle the feature on.
