Permanently delete data from individual apps or in total on iPhone, iPad

[Vikki Sixx]

Hi All,

The days of piracy and info leaks are well with us and it has become necessary for us to delete and clean-up our cellphones periodically so that we are safe from data hackers and piracy.

Can you recommend any software packages that can be used to PERMANENTLY delete any data from programs such as Whatt's App and iMessage so that they are never recoverable by any other software program.

I would like to implement this on company phones that could contain sensitive data.

Thanks for your help

Do you really need to? It cost the FBI over $1million to get into one's guys iPhone recently.

Your iPhone is encrypted as it is, so short of the most super ninja people getting to it your data is safe.

If you are paranoid you can just delete the app and reinstall it.

Having ANOTHER app gain access to all your apps to do such a delete would be a security risk in and of itself.
