Is SIRI creating a Security threat to iPhone 4S?


SIRI of course offers you a smart and intelligent way to interact with your iPhone. It’s one of the advanced features that recognizes your speech and responds in a friendly manner. Well battery power is not the only thing here that’s getting sacrificed for using this elegant feature. Questions are actually raising eyebrows as to how safe can your iPhone be, through such an application? 


It’s been noticed that SIRI is capable of accessing a whole lot of functions from your iPhone without even entering the passcode. Reports indicate that SIRI has been changing calendar appointments, writing text messages and sending emails without even entering the passcode that adds the security for your iPhone. But Apple is a bit concerned about the issue and has already come up with the solution through iOS 5. So now make sure that SIRI doesn’t entertain a stranger or doesn’t accept his voice commands instead of yours. Just follow these basic steps to restrain the unauthorized access.

Navigate to Settings > General > Passcode Lock> SIRI > OFF. This will make your smart app completely available to you. By default, SIRI is enabled in your iPhone even if you set a passcode lock. Unless and until the settings are changed to switch off SIRI, an external access is very much possible.



Well, the reality lies with Apple whether why such a problem remained unnoticed. For those who give extreme importance to the security issues, this remedy must be of great relief.
