The 10 minute iPhone privacy checkup.
Grab your iPhone, work down the list, and check off what you have already done. Each item says exactly where the setting lives. Your checks stay on this page, nothing is saved or sent anywhere, refresh and it resets.
Written for current iOS. Menu names occasionally move between versions, if a path looks different, search the setting name in the Settings search bar.
Why these ten
Most privacy advice is either paranoid or useless. These ten settings are the ones with the best ratio of real-world protection to effort, and none of them break anything you actually use. The app tracking and location items alone cut off most of the everyday data collection an iPhone leaks by default.
General information, not personalized security advice. If you face a specific threat, like a stalker or an abusive ex with access to your accounts, look up Apple's Safety Check feature in Settings, Privacy and Security, and consider professional help.
