🤔 Should you leave it on?
Here's what to consider:
✅ If your iPhone is regularly backed up to iCloud or your computer, this feature can provide extra protection if your device is stolen.
⚠️ But if you don't have a recent backup, enabling it means your photos, videos, messages, and other important data could be permanently lost if the erase feature is triggered.
Before deciding, make sure your backups are current.
