How to passcode lock an App in iOS

Apple doesn't have an official method for individually locking sensitive apps like Photos with a passcode, but luckily there's a workaround that was introduced in iOS 12 with Screen Time.

If you really want to make sure one of your apps is inaccessible, you can use Apple's App Limits feature to do so. Here's how:
Open up the Settings app.
Choose "Screen Time."
Make sure Screen Time is enabled and a Screen Time passcode is set.
Tap on "Devices" in the upper left corner and select your current device. If you don't have multiple devices, just tap on the name of your device at the top.
Choose an app you want to lock and tap it. If the app you want isn't listed, choose any app. It's just a gateway to get to deeper settings.
Tap "Add Limit."
From here, tap "Edit Apps" and add all the other apps that you might want to lock. It gives you a full dropdown of all your apps.
After you've selected all of the apps that you want to be locked, use the timer interface at the top of the display to select a short period of time, like a minute, and then tap "Add."

The new App Limit will effectively lock up your selected apps, and if you attempt to tap on one of these locked apps, you will be required to input your Screen Time passcode.

How to Use a Locked App

Once you have App Limits in place to lock apps you want to be inaccessible, you can tap on "Ask for More Time" to access the app. You'll need to put in your passcode, and then once you do, you can unlock it for 15 minutes, an hour, or the rest of the day. There's no way to immediately lock it again after approving it for 15 minutes without redoing the entire App Limit setup, so keep that in mind.

Limitations

You can passcode lock any app on your phone except for the Phone app. There is no option to turn off access to the Phone app at all. For apps like Messages or FaceTime, you need to edit the "Always Allowed" section of Screen Time to remove them for the limit to be enabled.

You can disable access to Messages and FaceTime, but you might not want to. When access to Messages is disabled via App Limits, devices using iCloud for Screen Time are not able to send or receive messages during downtime. You're also not able to see notifications for apps that are locked, so keep that in mind when locking down social networking apps.

An Alternate Locking Method

If you want to lock up most or all of your apps, you can follow these steps:
Open the Settings app.
Choose "Screen Time."
Make sure Screen Time is enabled and a passcode is set.
Select "App Limits."
Tap "Add Limit."
Select "All Apps & Categories."
Choose a short period of time from the timer interface, such as a minute or two.
Tap "Add."
Choosing "All Apps & Categories" locks all of the apps on your iPhone except for a few. You can narrow that down a bit by selecting just a category of apps to lock, such as "Social Networking," and you can unlock individual apps by going to "Always Allowed" in the main Screen Time interface, selecting "All Apps & Categories" and unchecking, the apps that you want to make accessible.

Premier League Opens New Office to Fight Piracy

The Premier League says it has opened its first international office. Based within the Central Business District in Singapore, the office will have the primary aim of fighting piracy on behalf of the league and broadcast partners.

With English Premier League clubs reporting revenues of £4.5 billion for the period 2016/17, top-tier football is extremely lucrative.

The Premier League itself has a three-year TV deal which came into effect during the same period, with a record-breaking £5.1 billion paid to the League by broadcasters Sky and BT.

A new deal, effective 2019 to 2022, netted the Premier League £4.45 billion and the football organization is extremely keen to protect its revenues and that of its customers by tackling piracy head on.

Maintaining that momentum, today the Premier League announced the opening of a brand new office in Singapore, its first international office and one with the primary aim of dealing with unlicensed consumption.

Based in Tanjong Pagar, which is located within the Central Business District in Singapore, the office will reportedly provide a base for the Asia-Pacific region. From here, the League will deploy its anti-piracy enforcement program across “multiple” markets.

In terms of anti-piracy activities, the Premier League is best known for its crackdown on streaming piracy, particularly when it comes to live events.

In the UK, the League has pioneered and developed “live stream” injunctions which allow it to request that ISPs block illicit streams of matches to disrupt piracy as soon as it takes place.

The practice mainly tends to cause disruption on Saturday afternoons and although some illicit IPTV providers have deployed some successful countermeasures, there are always plenty of complaints on Saturday about illegal streams going down.

Until now, these blocking measures have been restricted to the UK but with this expansion and a brand new office focused on piracy, it seems likely that the scheme could be launched in other countries too.

“The Asia-Pacific region is strategically important for the Premier League and its clubs,” says Premier League Director of Broadcasting Paul Molnar.

“Singapore provides an excellent location for our first international office and we look forward to using this base to support our many broadcast partners across the region.

“Equally, it is critical that we now deploy local resource and expertise to combat the increasing threat of piracy which undermines all stakeholders in the creative industry.”

While the new Singapore office is the Premier League’s first anti-piracy focused overseas base, the company is no stranger to enforcement in the region.

Last year the Singapore High Court granted an injunction following complaints from The Premier League, Singnet PTE Ltd, Fox Networks Group Singapore PTE Ltd, NGC Network Asia LLC, and Fox International Channels (US) Inc.

Neil Gane, General Manager of AVIA’s Coalition Against Piracy (CAP), of which The Premier League is a member, told TorrentFreak that the motion was heard on November 2, 2018, with the court subsequently handing down an order against “eight authentication domains.”

“Singapore has been considered a bastion of Intellectual Property rights across the region, and the court’s decision to block access to popular illegal applications preloaded onto ISDs and sold in Singapore reaffirms this contention,” he added.

The Premier League referenced this action in today’s announcement, noting that it is also taking criminal action against suppliers of ISDs (Illicit Streaming Devices) and working with Thai authorities to raid those in the supply chain.

Data leak exposes 773 million email addresses and 21 million passwords

The data dump Hunt dubs “Collection #1” has over 12,000 separate files and is more than 87GB in size. — Reuters

A collection of files containing around 773 million unique email addresses and 21 million unique passwords was leaked on the Mega Cloud service, claims security researcher Troy Hunt.

However, the massive collection has since been removed from the platform. According to Hunt, the data dump he dubs “Collection #1”, includes over 12,000 separate files and is more than 87GB in size.

It contained 772,904,991 email addresses and 21,222,975 passwords, allegedly from many legitimate breaches that Hunt recognises in that list.

He adds that it is also entirely possible that some of them are from services that haven’t actually been involved in a data breach at all.

“It’s made up of many different individual data breaches from literally thousands of different sources,” says Hunt, the founder of Have I Been Pwned service which allows users to check if their accounts have been compromised in data breaches.

Hunt says that his own personal data is in the collection and that it is accurate. “Right email address and a password I used many years ago,” he says.

You can go to Have I Been Pwned and Pwned Passwords to check if your email addresses or passwords are in the lists. If they are, then change your passwords immediately, says Hunt.

“People take lists like these that contain our email addresses and passwords and then they attempt to see where else they work. The success of this approach is predicated on the fact that people reuse the same credentials on multiple services,” he says.

“Perhaps your personal data is on this list because you signed up to a forum many years ago you’ve long since forgotten about, but because its subsequently been breached and you’ve been using that same password all over the place, you’ve got a serious problem.”

According to Hunt, when hackers have access to huge numbers of login data they would employ bots to access multiple services with the same information, a technique called credential stuffing.

Hunt also adds that websites usually experience a spike in login attempts, some as many as three times, after a massive data breach.

This data leak goes to show that no one should be reusing their old passwords for new services. If you are, now is the time to change that

Twitter warns that private tweets were public for years

Twitter said it did not know how many people had their private messages exposed Private tweets sent by users of Twitter's Android app could have been exposed publicly for years.

Twitter said it had discovered a security flaw which meant "protected" tweets became public when some changes were made to accounts.

Anyone who updated the email address linked to their account between November 2014 and January 2019 could have had messages exposed, it said.

Twitter said it had started to let affected users know about the bug.

It added that it had turned the protections back on for Android users who had inadvertently switched them off.

Twitter said it was also issuing a public notice about the error because it could not confirm the exact number of accounts that had been affected and wanted to reach those it could not identify by an internal investigation.

"We're very sorry this happened and we're conducting a full review to help prevent this from happening again," it said.

It encouraged users to check their privacy settings to make sure they reflected their preferences.
Twitter said it fixed the flaw on 14 January and would share more information if it became available.

Anyone who used Twitter via an Apple device or through the web would not have been caught out by the bug.

iOS 13 release date & new features rumours

When will Apple release the next version of iOS for iPhone and iPad, and what new features will it bring? We round up the iOS 13 leaks and rumours

ios 13 release date new features
iOS 13, the next major update to Apple's iPhone/iPad operating system, will be unveiled in the summer of 2019. If you're wondering what changes the update will bring, you've come to the right place: in this article we round up all the latest leaks and rumours about iOS 13's release date, new features, design changes and more.

You may be viewing an older version of this story cached by Google, click here to see the latest version of this story.

For information about the current software, read our iOS 12 review and tutorial explaining how to update iOS.

Release date

Apple's big yearly iOS updates happen on a predictable schedule, so we're reasonably sure about the following timeline.

Jun 2019: Apple announces and demonstrates iOS 13 at WWDC
Jun 2019: Straight after the demo, a beta preview version of iOS 13 is made available for developers
Jul 2019: A public beta is rolled out, available for everyone who signs up. (Here's how to install an iOS beta.)
Jul-Aug 2019: A series of updates betas roll out, each coming closer to the final version
Sep 2019: The final public version of iOS 13.0 is released
Apple will then continue updating iOS 13 and releasing smaller point updates, such as iOS 13.1, through the rest of 2019 and into 2020. Mostly these point updates consist of tweak and security patches, but occasionally a relatively major feature is added in this way.

Which iPads & iPhones will be able to run iOS 13?

Here's the list of devices that can currently run iOS 12.

iPad Pro (10.5), iPad Pro (11), iPad Pro (12.9, 2017 and 2018)
iPad 2017, iPad 2018
iPad mini 2, iPad mini 3, iPad mini 4
iPhone 5s, iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, iPhone SE, iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, iPhone X/XS/XS Max/XR
iPod touch (sixth generation)
Barring the new products, that's the same list Apple issued for iOS 11 the year before. It hasn't dropped any devices off the list for a while now, which makes us nervous for the iPhone 5s and iPad mini 2 owners: those may not be given the all-clear for iOS 13.

50. iPhone X App Swipe Gestures Work on iPad Too
iOS 12 iPad App Switching Gesture
All this annoyance is worth it because my favorite gesture from iPhone X also makes it to the iPad. You can swipe left to right, with a bit of a flick or a curve to instantly switch between the recent applications.

24/11/2018

49. Swipe Up Further for App Switcher
iOS 12 New App Switcher Gesture
And to get to the App Switcher? Swipe up further and hold.

24/11/2018

48. Swipe Up and Stop for Dock
If swiping up from the bottom takes you to the Home screen, how do you get to the Dock? Well, instead of flicking up from the bottom of the screen, swipe up and bit and stop. You’ll see the Dock appear. Yes, this will take a bit of time to get used to.

24/11/2018

47. New Gesture for Control Center
iOS 12 iPad New Control Center
Swipe down from the top-right edge of the screen, where you see the battery indicator, to access Control Center.

24/11/2018

46. Swipe Up to Go Home or Unlock
iOS 12 iPad Home Gesture
The iPad now has the same gestures as iPhone X. You can swipe up (flick up) from the bottom of the screen to go back to the Home screen and it even works on the Lock screen (to unlock the iPad).

24/11/2018

45. Reachability Is Much Better on iPhone X
If you gave up on Reachability in iOS 11, you should reconsider it. The swipe down gesture to engage Reachability is way more reliable now. Plus, it works on the Lock screen as well.
