An iPad is only as secure as you make it.

If you're doing something requiring any level of secrecy or protection, try these suggestions to keep your data from getting into the wrong hands.

You're always better safe than sorry.

Use a passcode lock

You can enable a quick 4-digit passcode as one means of preventing people from getting into your iPad. Go to Settings > General >Passcode Lock to set it up.



Use a complex passcode

It you'd rather use more than four digits and include some letters in there as well, you can enable this too. Go to Settings > General > Passcode Lock and disable Simple Passcode.



Black SMS for iMessages

To help keep communications private, you can use an app called Black SMS to exchange encoded iMessages with your friends as long as you both know the keyword to decrypt them.

Price: $0.99
