Thank you so much for clarifying that info o was concern because my windows surface l was hacked the open a work school account with GitHub account. And I was Locked up of my computer so it’s a night mare so I just wanna make sure they my don’t go into your system. Also create a Wi-Fi network so any feed back to protect myself please let me know. I am learning programming terms to make sure I am not giving access to them and I notice Apple support is the only should I not access any windows account from my iPhone. Is my cellular data internet safe? I don’t use Wi-Fi at all ? I use hotspot to log in into my pc but I put forget device after and not connect automatic

Manyedmana,


It's great that the clarification you received explaining what SMTP means simplified things for you. As for your follow-up questions, using Cellular Data to browse the internet should be fine. If you have further questions regarding issues pertaining to Cellular Data, please reach out to your wireless carrier for continued support since they are best suited to answer your inquiries directly.


Lastly, when it comes to browsing the web over WiFi, we recommend using your best judgment to determine if it is safe or not for you to join, as we cannot provide feedback since all WiFi networks are configured differently.


Thank you for reaching out to the Apple Support Community.


Cheers!
