However, some of these suggestions may include sensitive or private data that you would rather keep to yourself.<\/p>\n

Steps to safeguard your privacy on iPhone<\/span> (Kurt “CyberGuy” Knutsson)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nMORE: BEST ACCESSORIES FOR YOUR PHONE<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\nWhat does this mean for you?<\/strong><\/h2>\nWhen you turn off “discoverable by others,” you prevent the journal app from sending your location and activity data to other iPhone users who are near you. This means that they won\u2019t see your journal entries or photos as suggestions on their app. It also means that you won\u2019t see theirs. This can help you protect your privacy and avoid unwanted sharing of your personal information.<\/p>\n
