iOS 26.4.1 Automatically Enables This iPhone Security Feature

Apple released iOS 26.4.1 on April 8 as a minor update focused mainly on bug fixes.

An Apple support document says the update can automatically enable Stolen Device Protection on iPhones that do not already have it turned on.

The security feature helps protect accounts and personal data if an iPhone is stolen.

Users can check the setting in Settings > General > Software Update and related security options.
