Quick steps

  1. Use a strong passcode and Face ID.
  2. Keep your phone physically close in crowded or shared places.
  3. Turn on alerts before leaving your phone on a table or charger.
  4. Review permissions and remove apps you do not trust.
  5. Use WTMP features for motion, charging and intruder awareness.

Where WTMP fits

WTMP is not a replacement for Apple's built-in security. It works as a proactive layer for moments before a phone is stolen or used without permission. The strongest use cases are movement alerts, charger tampering, intruder awareness and privacy checklists.

Recommended setup

For best results, combine WTMP with Find My, Face ID, short Auto-Lock time, notification privacy, secure Apple ID settings and careful app permissions.

Is WTMP private?

WTMP is presented as a phone protection utility. Its key message should remain: no message reading, no spying, just protection for your own phone.
