How to Encrypt your iOS or Android Device

September 8, 2021 by Miles Silk Jr

Just a quick post about how to encrypt your device.

How to encrypt your iPhone or iPad

  1. Go to Settings >Face ID & Passcode(Formally Touch ID & Passcode).
  2. Press “Turn Passcode On” if not enabled already.
  3. Press “Passcode options” to choose a custom numeric or alphanumeric code (recommended).
  4. Confirm your device is encrypted by scrolling to the bottom of the Settings > Face ID & Passcode screen. You should see the “Data protection is enabled” message.

**Optional: We recommend that you also turn on “ Erase Data” located at the bottom of the Face ID & Passcode screen. This will Erase all the data on the devise after 10 failed passcode attempts.

How to encrypt your Android device

  1. Plug in the device to charge the battery (required).
  2. Make sure a password or PIN is set in Security > Screen lock.
  3. Go to Settings > “Security” or “Security & location”.
  4. Select “encryption & credentials” and/or “encrypt phone”
  5. Read the notice and press “Encrypt phone” to start the encryption process.
  6. Remember to keep the phone plugged in until complete.
