iVerify/ZDNET
A big part of being effective in IT security is educating users about its importance and how quickly (and usually easily) hackers can take advantage of our mistakes.
iVerify is a paid mobile application exclusively reserved for Apple smartphones which makes users aware of the security of their iPhone by telling them the different protection settings to activate.

This is exactly what iVerify does.
First and foremost, iVerify is a security scanner that makes sure you’re using basic iPhone security features, such as Face ID or Touch ID, and that you’re using the latest version of iOS. The app also runs a device scan that looks for security anomalies and alerts you if anything seems abnormal.
It can be very difficult to know if an iPhone has been hacked
It can be very difficult to know if an iPhone has been hacked, so installing a tool to monitor for telltale signs of an intrusion provides peace of mind.
iVerify has plenty of guides that show you the different security features built into iOS and how to take advantage of them to secure your iPhone (or iPad).
There’s also a whole host of other nice things, like information on securing your Apple, Facebook, Google, Instagram, LinkedIn and Twitter accounts, information on enabling DNS over HTTPS, a periodic reboot reminder (an easy way to protect yourself against remote takeovers), and even a page that features the latest security news.
iVerify explains new iOS features much better than Apple
iVerify is an application that also benefits from regular updates to keep the information valid. A few days after a new version of iOS was released, the app was updated with new tips, tricks and information about that particular version.
Consequence: iVerify explains new iOS features and security much better than Apple.
iVerify can also monitor changes to your iPhone that could quietly compromise your security, such as adding biometric data that could belong to someone who has access to your device without you knowing.
iVerify isn’t free but it’s definitely worth it
I set my iVerify to remind me to restart my iPhone every week – it’s one of the best ways to remove malware from your iOS device.
iVerify is not free, it costs €3, but it is definitely worth it if you take your smartphone security seriously. Even if you’re familiar with iOS, you’ll probably learn new things from the different guides in this app. I find it a great way to keep up to date with new features in the latest versions of iOS.
iVerify requires iOS 13.0 or later, or iPadOS 13 or later, and is compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.
