iPhone users wowed by little-known setting that helps owners find their stolen phone

Keeping people's data secure has been a hot topic for Apple as of late, as eagle-eyed iPhone users have spotted certain privacy settings that may leave people vulnerable to scams or stalking. Earlier this year, analysts urged iPhone fans to tweak their privacy settings around passwords in order to fight against the rise in spyware attacks, while more recently, people have come across a 'scary' location setting that allows people to pin-point your exact location if you share your geotag on social media.

Most of us are so reliant on our phones that they feel like an extension of our arm - so the thought of losing it or having it stolen fills us with a deep sense of dread.
