Apple has launched the first beta version of the iOS 17.3 update, which adds some new features to iPhones, including the feature of protecting stolen iPhones.

When this feature is turned on, specific actions will require biometric authentication to verify the identity of the device owner through the Face ID feature, including using passwords or passkeys, applying for an Apple credit card, turning off Lost Mode, or erasing the feature. iPhone data, or using payment methods saved on the iPhone, etc. without the ability to enter a passcode, when the device is away from home or work.
Apple places great emphasis on restrictions with this new feature when performing critical actions such as changing the Apple ID password, updating its security settings, changing the passcode or Touch/Face ID settings, or turning off the Find My feature. The security delay feature is activated for an hour away from familiar locations.
