Apple is trying to keep thieves away from your personal information.

The company is currently working on a feature that will make it hard for thieves to get into your devices.

On top of all the security measures users currently have, the stolen device protection feature will add biometrics.

Which means users will have to scan their face or use their finger to access data.

That extra security measure is only enacted when a user is away from a familiar location like work or home.

It will be part of an upcoming software update.
