By Apple patching all jailbreak releases, many people believe that jailbreaking their iOS device it will make the device completely insecure. This is not true unless you are Barrack Obama. You can actually make your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch more secure by jailbreaking it if FindMyiPhone is not enough for you.

1. iCaughtU Pro
If you really want to protect your iPhone, or iPad in case a thief steals it and FindMyiPhone doesn’t have enough features for you, then iCaughtU Pro will be one of the most essential apps you should get from Cydia.

AppLocker is available on ModMyi (default repo) for $0.99.
3. Powerguard
Another security feature that Apple should include in FindMyiPhone is to require a password to turn off the phone.
