How to change the PIN on iPhone

Despite the incorporation of the Touch ID in iPhone, something that has not changed and is preserved is the four-digit PIN code that helps us to unlock the SIM card, which reinforces in all cases the security of our phone. However, in many cases it is seldom necessary to indicate again because there is no tendency to restart the phone too often, so it is very common that the original PIN that comes by default is forgotten. To prevent this from happening, pay attention to the following article where we show you step by step how to change the PIN on iPhone.

one

If you want to change the SIM card PIN on your iPhone because you can probably forget about it, the first thing you have to do is click on the 'Settings' icon, which is indicated by a gray gear, to access the panel of configurations of your mobile phone. In case you do not find the icon on your home screen, you can slide the screen down and write the word "settings" in the search bar that appears.

It is important that before doing this action, bear in mind that the original PIN code that was indicated on the card that your operator sent you is no longer valid for references and that you can not change the PIN on iPhone if you have forgotten the current one, and In order to make the modification you must previously enter, as we have indicated, the original PIN code.

What if instead of changing what you want is to disable it so that when you restart your phone you do not have to re-enter it? Then, you have to follow the same procedure: Settings> Phone> SIM PIN and, once at this point, deactivate it by sliding the button to the left. Next, you will have to enter your current PIN to complete the action and from that moment your iPhone will no longer ask for the unlock code of the SIM when you turn it on.
