CNET How To - Is your iPhone lock screen sharing too much?

2015-02-09
your iPhone has a little-known feature that could help someone find you if they ever picked up your lost phone all they have to do is ask Siri a question who does this phone belong to I believe this belongs to Sharon Thomas this can be super useful for helping you reunite with your phone but it could also expose a little too much information can I show you a little trick sure who does this phone belong to yeah yeah that totally works who does this phone belong to oh that's incredible who does this phone belongs you all of your information yeah shows up right there in the lock screen yeah damn it might seem like the most obvious solution is to head into your contacts find your name and to delete all of the information you don't want showing up through Siri in the lock screen so you can delete your home address your email address but know that as you're deleting these items it might also diminish some of series functionality so if you delete your mom from your contact info you won't be able to say something like series text my mom but what might make the most sense is to disable access to Siri from the lock screen to do that just head to your settings then go down to touch ID and passcode enter your passcode and then scroll down until you see allow access when locked and then scroll down until you see Siri and disable it now that all your info is hidden from the lock screen you're going to have to rely on something like Find My iPhone to get ahold of your lost phone for more tips like this head on over to see Netcom / - for CNET I'm Sharon Profis
