JAKARTA Apple has launched a lot of new features for iOS 26, but not all of them have been discussed. One of the features that is not highlighted is the arrangement of permits for wired accessories.

This new security feature is designed to protect users from the risk of hacking and data theft. Launching from 9to5mac, this feature will appear in the form of a pop-up window every time the user connects the iPhone to a cabled accessory.

The user will see two options, namely Allow or Don't Allow to transfer data. With this feature, the iPhone can charge anywhere without allowing data streams if the user selects the option Don't Allow it.

Users also don't need to worry about transferring data before permission is given. If the phone is still locked, iOS 26 will block all data transfers via cable until the user unlocks the device and grants permission.

This system will make all the data, from documents to photos, safe on the device. Basically, this security feature is created to counter hacking risks such asbeque jacking, where hackers use public charging stations to steal data.

With this new warning, attackers will not be able to access any data unless the user consciously allows the connection. Users also have the option to customize this settings in the Settings menu.

Users only need to open the Cable Accessories menu in the Security Privacy section. After that, select options from several options, including Always Tanya, Ask for New Accessories, Allow Automatically When Not Locked, and Always Allow.

Although this security feature is quite simple, it offers significant protection. This is very important given the presence of dangerous cables like O.MG that cannot be distinguished from Apple's official cables and can be used for hacking.
