Common Mistakes to Avoid
1. Incorrect Date and Time Settings
Reason: An inaccurate system time can interfere with the device's ability to verify the security of a network, triggering the unsecured network alert even on a safe network.
Solution: Manually set your device's date and time to match your current location's time zone and ensure 'Set Automatically' is enabled.
2. Ignoring System Updates
Reason: Outdated iOS versions may contain security vulnerabilities or bugs that lead to inaccurate network security assessments and persistent unsecured network warnings.
Solution: Immediately update your iOS to the latest version available to ensure you have the newest security patches and bug fixes.
