About Course
Your phone holds your contacts, photos, emails and often your banking. A screen lock stops anyone else using it if it is lost or stolen. This course explains the different types of lock, how to set one up on an iPhone or Android phone, how fingerprint and face recognition work, and extra protection such as Apple’s Stolen Device Protection.
Tutwoo is an independent learning provider. This course gives general information for older people and their families, based on published help pages. Menus vary by device and software version. Tutwoo is not connected with Apple or Google.
