Apple Safety Guide: What You Need to Know About Device Access

An Apple safety guide has appeared to give customers information on how to protect themselves if their personal safety is at risk, spotted by 9To5Mac.
Previously, Apple had released a 20-page PDF document called Device and Data Access. This latest safety guide was published today and aggregates information into an online hub.
Apple Safety Guide
There are four overall sections:

Personal safety at a glance
Review and take action
Safety and privacy tools
Personal safety checklists

In the first section Apple notes: These instructions apply primarily to iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac computers with the latest operating systems (macOS 12.1, iOS 15.2, and iPadOS 15.2). Where applicable, additional details for other products are provided or linked to, including links to user guides for Apple devices. You can print these accompaniments to this guide, as needed, for your convenience. For all features, instructions and settings can vary with the product model or software version. If you need assistance with a particular feature, search Apple Support at https://support.apple.com.
