a quick fix

It might help to start enabling certain restrictions. This may not be the best way, but its an easy way to prevent someone from easily changing your settings

Go into general and then click on restrictions.

After that, be sure to enable it.

Then you will be prompted to make a passcode for it. Don't for get it

Make your way down to accounts and be sure to Check off don't allow changes.

Go back into Settings, and you will see that the iCloud tab is faded and cannot be accessed.

I always have touch Id and the 4 digit pass code enabled but do know some of my friends don't because they say it's a pain having to key it in.

I'd rather it be a slight hindrance tbh !!
