Depending on your network connection, you may not be able to receive calls while your iPhone transfers data over the cellular networkwhen downloading a webpage, for example. GSM networks: On an EDGE or GPRS connection, incoming calls may go directly to voicemail during data transfers. For incoming calls that you answer, data transfers are paused. CDMA networks: On EV-DO connections, data transfers are paused when you answer incoming calls. On 1xRTT connections, incoming calls may go directly to voicemail during data transfers. For incoming calls that you answer, data transfers are paused. Data transfer resumes when you end the call.

When your iPhone is locked with Face ID, Touch ID, or a passcode, all of your health and tness data in Health, other than your MedicalID, is encrypted. Any health data synced to iCloud is encrypted both in transit and on Apple servers. And if you have a version of iOS, iPadOS, and watchOS (if youre using iPad and Apple Watch for cycle tracking) with default two-factor authentication and a passcode, your health and activity data is stored in a way that Apple cant read it. This means that when you use the Cycle Tracking feature and two-factor authentication, your health data synced to iCloud is encrypted end to end, and Apple doesnt have the key to decrypt the data and therefore cannot read it.

Apple Music subscribers can access millions of tracks encoded using lossless audio compression. Lossless compression is a form of compression that preserves all of the original data. Apple has developed its own lossless audio compression technology called Apple Lossless Audio Codec (ALAC). The entire AppleMusic catalog is encoded using ALAC in resolutions ranging from 16-bit/44.1 kHz (CD Quality) up to 24-bit/192 kHz. What you need to know about lossless in AppleMusic Streaming lossless audio over a cellular or Wi-Fi network consumes signicantly more data. And downloading lossless audio uses signicantly more space on your device. Higher resolutions use more data than lower ones. AirPods, AirPodsPro, AirPodsMax, and Beats wireless headphones use Apple AAC Bluetooth Codec to ensure excellent audio quality. However, Bluetooth connections arent lossless. To get a lossless version of music that you already downloaded from AppleMusic, just delete the music and redownload it from the AppleMusic catalog. To play songs at sample rates higher than 48 kHz on iPhone, you need an external digital-to-

analog converter. Note: AppleMusic and lossless arent available in all countries or regions. See the Apple Support article Availability of Apple Media Services.

Related Two-factor authentication for your AppleAccount NAV TITLE: Use security keys Use security keys to sign in to your AppleAccount on iPhone Metadata Summary: On your iPhone, security keys provide a stronger form of two-factor authentication to protect your Apple Account and other sign-in credentials. Security Keys for your Apple Account is an optional security feature designed for people (such as celebrities, journalists, and members of government) who want extra protection from targeted attacks on their account, including phishing and social engineering scams. A security key is a small third-party hardware device that you can connect to your iPhone and use to verify your identity when signing in to your Apple Account. The physical key replaces the six-digit verication codes normally used in two-factor authentication, which keeps this information from being intercepted or requested by an attacker. For details about security key requirements, see the Apple Support article About security keys for your Apple Account.
