- Use passcode and biometric to unlock your phone and switch on auto screen lock

** What is jailbreaking and rooting? This is for some customers to understand its meaning as we have customers that are not “techy” and now aware about the terms.
- Jailbreaking and rooting are ways to modify a smartphone or electronic device to allow installation of unauthorized software by removing restrictions imposed by the manufacturer.
