Do You Passcode Lock Your iPhone?

[Nanci]

I don't passcode lock my phone; it never leaves my side.

We found an iPhone in the bathroom at work today. It was locked. Since we are underground with no cell signal the phone may or may not already be in airplane mode to save the battery, but at any rate, the owner won't be able to use Find My Phone. So we put the phone in a secure location and put a note on the bathroom door. Too bad we don't know whose it is.

I have mine set to lock after five minutes. I have a lot of personal and business information on my phone. Maybe I'm just old, but it strikes me as funny to hear people talk about what an inconvenience it is to punch in a 4 digit pass code. It takes me less than a second to input. In my opinion it's actually a very convenient way to lock a phone.

Completely agree.

I keep password on my phone as my 3 year old is well versed to use it from his experience on iPod touch . I have lot more apps on iPhone and I don't want him to mess with it.
I do agree that's it's an inconvenience but it's there for a reason. On a side note I have my office mail on my phone and IT mandates it. I did have my password before I signed up for enterprise mail though.

I did for a while, but it got very annoying very quickly. No one ever touches my phone except me, anyway.

And there is no risk that it will ever be lost.

Most definitely I passcode lock my phone, even though I also have the Find my iPhone active......I don't want to take any chances with it

My three year old constantly deleted my apps on my phone as well as make purchase app store. I found a way to lock the deleting option and lock the purchasing feature in setting.

Use RESTRICTIONS for that.

Any one see the thread from the guy whose iPhone has been stolen four times since February?

I tend to do it immediately but I have it set to automatically lock after 1 min

On an everyday basis I do NOT use a passcode, Im self employed and have a home office. But when I travel or spend the day in highly populated public places, I use a passcode after 1 minute..

I like locking my phone. I just wish there was a pattern lock instead of a code.

Count
