Many people hand their phones to friends, kids, or coworkers to share photos or look something up. If you use an artificial intelligence app to draft personal notes, discuss sensitive topics, or organize your daily life, you probably want those conversations kept out of sight. Having an extra layer of protection on your conversations ensures that casual phone sharing does not accidentally expose your private thoughts.
You can take advantage of this right away by opening your app store and making sure you are running the latest update. Head into your account settings to find the new security preferences, then switch on the option to protect your chats using facial recognition or a secret code. While you are there, confirm that your device lock features are enabled and working smoothly.
A little extra privacy goes a long way, especially when you share devices with family or friends at home.
