This book by Glenn Fleishman teaches you how to use an iPhone or iPad with iOS 9 on Wi-Fi and cellular/mobile networks securely, making connections with ease while protecting your data and controlling access to your private information. It also covers Bluetooth networking, tracking an iOS device, content-blocking Safari extensions, privacy settings, using AirDrop and AirPlay, and solving connection problems.
The book covers a huge range of common network setup and routine usage issues, with illustrated step-by-step instructions. It explains how your private details–who you are, sites you visit, and where you physically go–are shared with Apple and others, and how to restrict or block that sharing. On the security side, it walks you through scenarios from securing your data in transit to connecting to a secure Wi-Fi network to recovering or erasing a lost iPhone.
