How to Prevent this From Happening Again

As you can see, this is a very stressful situation and not only is it stressful, you can lose all your important data on the device. So knowing all these, it will be wise for you to know how you should prevent this from happening in the past, obviously, imperfection occurs and could lead to this, but there is a permanent way to stop this from happening ever again, here’s how;

1. Change to Password:

It will be better to input a password rather than a passcode which just needs a four-digit code to unlock your device. Knowing that sometimes your passcode could be inputted incorrectly on your iPhone through your pocket after being typed incorrectly up to 10 times, but this could not happen that way or you could notice if it was a password. So choosing a password that doesn’t need a 4 digit number before it’s activated like a password like iTechViral2021 will be the best way to avoid iPhone is Disabled Connect to iTunes message.

2. Disable Passcode:

When you disable your iPhone passcode, your Touch ID is also disabled, this might not be chosen as the best option for many because they need to secure their device, but I will suggest you follow through with this, after all, my friend who’s the device was locked said he will never add security layer on his iPhone 6 again. But if you like this method 2 and also need a password, why not add password on sensitive apps only like Instagram and WhatsApp, this will be better than locking full access to your device which makes it vulnerable to this total lockdown again.

Conclusion

Always backup your iPhone data no matter how huge the data is so that even if this happens again, you can easily restore it and regain access to it back. Try and do this regularly, at least once in 3 months, this will be okay for those that doesn’t always use much GB on their device monthly. Also let me know if this worked for you, though I am certain it works, comment and share with other of your friends using Apple’s iPhone device.
