On some older devices, you may have to press the power button five times to disable biometrics instead, or for devices with Touch ID you may just have to hold down the power button and nothing else. Make sure you try this in advance so you know which method works for your device.
+**Stolen Data Protection** is a new feature in iOS 17.3 which adds additional security intended to protect your personal data if your device is stolen while unlocked. If you use biometrics and the Find My Device feature in your Apple ID settings, we recommend enabling this new protection:
+
+- [x] Select **Turn On Protection**
+
+After enabling stolen data protection, [certain actions](https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT212510) will require biometric authentication without a password fallback (in the event that a shoulder surfer has obtained your PIN), such as using password autofill, accessing payment information, and disabling lost mode. It also adds a security delay to certain actions performed away from your home or other "familiar location," such as requiring a 1-hour timer to reset your Apple ID password or sign out of your Apple ID. This delay is intended to give you time to enable Lost Mode and secure your account before a thief can reset your device.
+
**Allow Access When Locked** gives you options for what you can allow when your phone is locked. The more of these options you disable, the less someone without your password can do, but the less convenient it will be for you. Pick and choose which of these you don't want someone to have access to if they get their hands on your phone.

Signal supports [private groups](https://signal.org/blog/signal-private-group-system/). The server has no record of your group memberships, group titles, group avatars, or group attributes. Signal has minimal metadata when [Sealed Sender](https://signal.org/blog/sealed-sender/) is enabled. The sender address is encrypted along with the message body, and only the recipient address is visible to the server. Sealed Sender is only enabled for people in your contacts list, but can be enabled for all recipients with the increased risk of receiving spam. Signal requires your phone number as a personal identifier.

Signal prend en charge les [groupes privés](https://signal.org/blog/signal-private-group-system/). Le serveur n'a aucune trace de votre appartenance à un groupe, de vos titres de groupe, de vos avatars de groupe ou de vos attributs de groupe. Signal expose un minimum de métadonnées lorsque l'option [Expéditeur Scellé](https://signal.org/blog/sealed-sender/) est activée. L'adresse de l'expéditeur est chiffrée avec le corps du message, et seule l'adresse du destinataire est visible par le serveur. Expéditeur Scellé est uniquement activé pour les personnes de votre liste de contacts, mais peut être activé pour tous les destinataires avec le risque accru de recevoir du spam. Signal requiert votre numéro de téléphone comme identifiant personnel.

+**Session** is a decentralized messenger with a focus on private, secure, and anonymous communications. Session offers support for direct messages, group chats, and voice calls.
+
+Session uses the decentralized [Oxen Service Node Network](https://oxen.io/) to store and route messages. Every encrypted message is routed through three nodes in the Oxen Service Node Network, making it virtually impossible for the nodes to compile meaningful information on those using the network.

+**Session** is a decentralized messenger with a focus on private, secure, and anonymous communications. Session offers support for direct messages, group chats, and voice calls.
+
+Session uses the decentralized [Oxen Service Node Network](https://oxen.io/) to store and route messages. Every encrypted message is routed through three nodes in the Oxen Service Node Network, making it virtually impossible for the nodes to compile meaningful information on those using the network.
