So stealing a phone and knowing an email address could be enough. New iphones require face id by default, but there loads of cheaper android models that don’t. That is a low bar.
- heisenbit 4y agoDepending on your phone settings the message content will be displayed on your lock screen without the need to go through face id. Apple and Google should agree on a standard code sms format and prevent such sensitive information getting displayed on the lock screen.
- dzhiurgis 4y agoApple should default not displaying anything on lock screen. There’s a setting that most don’t know about.
- sgerenser 4y agoEver since the first FaceId iPhone (iPhone X) the default for messages is to only show message previews when unlocked. I’m pretty sure non FaceID phones defaulted to not showing previews at all.
