After setup, review app permissions, tracking requests and theft protection in Settings. The best privacy choices depend on which apps and features you use—not on switching everything off.
Before you turn on the new iPhone
Have an internet connection and your Apple Account credentials ready. If you plan to transfer directly from an old iPhone, keep both devices nearby and powered; make sure Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are on for the old device. You can also restore from an iCloud or computer backup, migrate from Android, or set up the iPhone without transferring data.

If you are moving from Android, Apple’s Move to iOS app is used during the iPhone’s initial setup. If setup is already complete, you will need to erase the iPhone and start again to use that migration route, or move content manually. A phone managed by a company or school may follow a different setup process.
Choose how to move your data
| Route | Use it when | What to expect |
|---|---|---|
| Quick Start and direct transfer | Your source is an iPhone or iPad and you have both devices. | Follow the on-screen Quick Start prompts. Keep the devices close and powered until transfer finishes; you may need to wait before the new iPhone is ready to use. |
| Restore from iCloud backup | You have a suitable iCloud backup and want to restore it during setup. | You can begin using the iPhone while apps and data continue downloading in the background. |
| Restore from computer backup | You have a backup stored on a computer. | Choose the restore option during setup and follow the prompts to connect to the computer and select the backup. |
| Move to iOS | You are transferring from an Android phone. | Use the app during initial iPhone setup and follow the prompts on both devices. |
| Set up without transferring | You want a fresh start or do not have a device or backup to migrate. | Continue through setup without restoring data. You can sign in to your Apple Account and install apps later. |
Apple says transfer times vary with network conditions and the amount of data. For details, see Apple Support’s transfer data to a new iPhone or iPad guide and Quick Start instructions.

Secure access and recovery
- Set a passcode. Choose one during setup; it protects access to the device and supports security features.
- Enroll Face ID or Touch ID. Follow the setup prompts for the biometric feature available on your model. Apple Support says in Setup basics: “For your security, Face ID and Touch ID data doesn’t leave your device and isn’t saved anywhere else.”
- Sign in to your Apple Account. This connects the iPhone to Apple services and account-based recovery and sync features.
- Turn on Find My iPhone. Open Settings, tap your name, then Find My, and enable Find My iPhone. This lets you locate the device if it is lost. See Apple’s Find My setup instructions.
Review app permissions
Open Settings > Privacy & Security and review the categories that matter to you, such as Location Services, Contacts, Photos, Camera, Microphone, Bluetooth and Local Network. These lists show apps that have requested access; you can change or revoke permissions later.
Decide app by app whether the requested access is useful for the feature you want. For location access, review each app’s level individually. If an app only needs an approximate location, consider switching off Precise Location in that app’s permission. Turning off Location Services altogether can disable important iPhone features, so it is not a universal privacy fix. Apple’s location services guide explains the available controls.

Manage tracking and check app activity
Go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking to review individual app requests or switch off Allow Apps to Request to Track. The setting governs whether apps can ask permission to track activity across other companies’ apps and websites.
For more visibility, enable App Privacy Report in Settings > Privacy & Security > App Privacy Report. It can show when apps access data or sensors and their network activity. The report starts collecting only after you enable it, so an empty report right afterward does not show that apps never accessed information. Apple explains the report in its App Privacy Report guide.

Decide whether to use Stolen Device Protection
Find Stolen Device Protection under Settings > Face ID & Passcode or Touch ID & Passcode, depending on your iPhone. It can require Face ID or Touch ID for sensitive actions and impose a one-hour Security Delay before some changes, followed by another biometric check. Apple lists prerequisites including a passcode, Face ID or Touch ID, Apple Account two-factor authentication, Significant Locations and Find My.
Depending on the available options, you can have the added requirements apply away from familiar locations or choose Always, which applies them at home and work too. Always offers the extra protection everywhere but can add friction when you make sensitive changes in familiar places. See Apple’s Stolen Device Protection guide for current requirements and details.

Lockdown Mode is for unusual, high-risk cases
Lockdown Mode is designed for the small number of people who may be targeted by highly sophisticated attacks. It restricts some iPhone features and can affect how the device works, so it is not a routine setup recommendation for most people. Apple says most people are never targeted by this class of attack; review its Lockdown Mode guide if you believe the added protections are relevant to you.
