As Apple is one of the largest manufacturers of smartphones in the world, its devices are a primary target for hackers everywhere and anytime. So Apple issues updates after another, focusing its attention on closing gaps and strengthening vulnerabilities, in addition to that, there are applications that help enhance security and stability on your devices. We have four of these applications and concepts.
Important note
These applications are suggested as an example of a specific concept and you can use any parallel application to do the same idea as long as it presents the same concept. The four concepts are:
◉ An app to save passwords and credit cards.
◉ VPN browsing encryption app
Encrypted chat app
An encrypted mail application
With these four applications (the concepts are general) your online accounts, your communications, as well as your data connection, will be completely safe. They strengthen your defenses of protection and these applications reduce the risks to a large extent, in addition to doing a backup, which makes a breach less likely.
LastPass app
The cornerstone of most aspects of internet security is a strong password. The problem is that most people do not use strong passwords because it is difficult to remember complex passwords consisting of letters, numbers and symbols specific to each account. But with a strong password manager, you only need to memorize a strong password and the app will take care of the rest for you.
Comparisons were made between the best password manager app, so LastPass came out on top, the app is free and has purchases to take advantage of the app's full features. Where you can add all your accounts and passwords through the application through the + sign on the top right of the application and save it. You can also go to the Security section at the bottom of the application, and through it you can generate complex passwords and copy them to anywhere else to use or save them in the application to be used in all website accounts that you specify through the application.
The application contains an addition to Safari, Google Chrome and Firefox, as once you click on the posts button and choose LastPass, it will fill in the mail and password fields for you. The application contains many features that you can discover on your own.

NordVPN app
While communicating on the Internet, our data travels from our devices and through our internet provider to the application hosting servers and websites we use. If this data is not protected and secured, it can be intercepted very easily by hackers at any time, which makes a tool like a VPN a very valuable tool that cannot be dispensed with.
With a VPN, any data going out of your device and any data going into it can be encrypted. And by relying on a VPN, it ensures the encryption of your data is much stronger than any other tools that are added and used by most sites on the Internet, although it is free, but it contains a large group of malicious programs and ads for a very limited service. Therefore, it is always recommended to avoid these free tools and subscribe to paid services to ensure that everything is going well.
NordVPN is one of the top apps that provides a super secure VPN with an affordable price. With this application, it guarantees encryption of your data with the highest levels of encryption and protection, and automatic update to detect harmful sites, and the application has a feature to disconnect the Internet if the connection to the server is lost. With NordVPN, you can securely access censored content, favorite websites and social media platforms, wherever you are. Meaning buy your peace of mind using this app.

Fourth popular application made by Opera "famous browser"
Signal
The only problem with the iMessage app is its limitation to iOS and Mac devices only. And in the Android system there are approximately 2 billion active users, and you are definitely forced to communicate with someone who uses the Android system and therefore cannot use the iMessage application. Unfortunately, this conversation will not be encrypted, so you are vulnerable to hackers. This is why I need a secure messaging app that is available on all operating systems.
The problem is not the content of the message, but rather the metadata of the message, which is vulnerable to espionage.
The metadata is the information contained in the background of the message, whether the location, information about the sender or the addressee, the name of the programmer, the photographer of the image, or the device through which the message was sent and the device to which the message was sent. And other metadata that the sender does not see and the addressee does not see. The metadata is useful in some cases - and this is a little - through which many major problems and issues have been solved, as criminals have been found and arrested. And you may be vulnerable to hackers - and that's a lot - because of this metadata. The message body may be protected, but the metadata is not protected and paint a revealing picture for each party.
Encrypted messages have metadata but very little metadata, and one of the apps that can guarantee that other than iMessage is the Signal app available for both iOS and Android. According to the privacy policy in the app, the little metadata that comes out with the message includes your phone number, a temporary IP address, thus reducing your risk.

ProtonMail app
Besides texting, there is email messaging. Especially in the work environment, it is an essential means of communication between colleagues. Apple offers encryption using the default mail app. However, most e-mails sent from iPhones or iPads are not encrypted and are vulnerable. Fortunately, we have this application that encrypts all messages automatically with the most powerful encryption tools available to protect the contents of your e-mail, which is the ProtonMail application, and one of the strong things that the application relies on its propaganda is that it is based in Switzerland, a country famous for its strong privacy (so people resort Assigned to its banks to hide their wealth).
ProtonMail provides end-to-end encryption among its users. If there is only one party using this application and you want to send an encrypted and protected message, the recipient needs to open the message using a password to unlock the message. One of the advantages of the application is that the company that is based on it cannot see your messages. Also, one of the features of the application is the feature of self-destructing the message after the expiration of a period that is previously allocated in the application.
With each of these previous apps, you can add layers of security to your device. If you are a business owner or very interested in the issue of privacy, we recommend using this package of applications on your device.
Are you interested in the topic of privacy? If you tried these applications, what do you think of them? Let us know in the comments.

I don't need encryption
I want to run a SIM card on the iPad, can someone help me
If I do not trust Babylon or I think that it is falling short in protection these days because its system has some problems, this does not mean that the manufacturers of these applications are angels, I trust Apple, but I do not trust third-party applications, especially in the field of security and privacy. Was it made with data like this and credit card passwords? !!! In general, this privacy matter does not concern me with regard to the Internet. As for credit cards, I do not see anyone on it. I guarantee me, thanks for your efforts.
The Internet is like the street, as soon as you went out of your home, you are strange and we do not know what is the nature of this encryption and the encrypted WhatsApp application can be tampered with and hackers can control it remotely as it happened to me on the iPhone. WhatsApp closed and some messages were deleted, so I had to disconnect the Internet from the iPhone and copy the most important The conversations and even some conversations became video and just because the router is broken into, your devices become the plaything, why because the hacking operations depend on copying the links that work with the applications, which allows hackers to tamper with WhatsApp and something stranger happened to me than that. I was adjusting an image on my Android phone and someone entered his png image with my picture "Maybe I dreamed of that, but I am sure that some messages have been deleted from WhatsApp on the iPhone because I have copies in the format of the text files of WhatsApp and there are these messages in them, so I complained to you to save me to solve the problem of WhatsApp. I solved the problem by changing the router settings and I stayed up for two days without sleep and I am struggling to protect the data," he wrote. By God, a person entered and spread corruption on WhatsApp, but I was able to solve the problem from the router. Why? Because Apple cannot penetrate it, and WhatsApp can hack its links linked to anyone’s number and apply the WhatsApp is at the end of a web page, and Apple has no control over it
I did not understand much of your words and what is the most appropriate solution for protection and how I changed the router settings
I called my service provider and they helped me with that I inserted a needle into a small hole and was distracted in the service provider's instructions
Even the manufacturers of these applications cannot be trusted, so even Apple can give approval to some security services when necessary to monitor some people and decrypt the iPhone.
In my opinion, thanks to me, I save passwords in my mind instead of saving them on programs and private ones that have cloud storage or online storage
What if I penetrate the servers of these applications, anything is possible ..
What is the measure of the credibility of those running these applications, in other words, are my information and files safe from those who made these applications in the first place ..
And do not forget that most of such applications are paid, even if they are free, and their service is with a monthly or annual subscription ..
Generally thanks for the article
What is the story of the application for how many days it is commented
What is connected to the net
A beautiful article and the most beautiful background on the phone
Thank you, Professor Mahmoud, for the wonderful and useful article.
