Keep your smartphone safe

We don't immediately realize how fast technology is moving. But the biggest example is right before our eyes. Think of smartphones. Different companies are bringing new models in the market every month. With new features comes new security issues. That is also not unknown to us. Various social media and even Google itself earns a lot of money through advertising. They are using your information with your consent.

Awareness about this has not yet been created in our country. But we have some fear from the strictness of digital law. You still regularly use apps for online shopping. These apps also steal your data. Just what information? Your career, financial and social life is also connected with it. So you have to be aware of preventing data transmission on smartphones. Some changes to your device are more important than awareness when it comes to smartphones. Take a look at them.

Must be updated regularly

All phone companies now provide updates to their system software. But not all updates are good. You will get news about these updates in various forums. Updating accordingly is unlikely to damage the phone. Failure to update may damage your device and data. Because the new update contains the security patch update of Android. Also, older updates may contain bugs in the app's code that your new update will fix. So check and update regularly.

Must be locked

New phone or old phone, many people don't always use lock. Many people don't turn on My Device service on Android. Trouble comes when the phone gets stolen. Then there is nothing left but to regret. Then the thief can access all your data without any trouble. Not only that, your phone gets a chance to use it again by resetting it. So the phone cannot be kept without lock. The use of the lock is not too harmful. Nowadays with fingerprint sensor or face unlock the phone can be unlocked quickly.

Download the app from the official store

Official source 'Google Play Store' for Android. On the iPhone, however, you have to download the app from the App Store. But different apps can be downloaded from different websites on Android. Many people download apps from such websites to get premium services of some apps. For example, by downloading the cracked version of Spotify, you can use its premium services for free. Hopefully many more apps can be used. Don't do that. Instead, try to download the app from the official store.

Don't avoid encryption

Encrypt storage, gallery, document vault, financial transaction related apps with password on Android phone. By doing this no one can access these apps secretly.

App permissions

These days Google is also giving people little chance to protect their security. After installing the app asks you some permissions. You can find out which ones by going to settings. Always turn off permissions that the app doesn't need. It will ensure your safety to some extent.

Password manager

Don't forget passwords or important information in phone notes or docks. Use a password manager in this case. You may have to spend some money for that. But using a password manager will not lose your password and anyone can access it.

Delete unnecessary apps

Get rid of unnecessary apps quickly. Unnecessary apps can also leak data all the time. No harm if you don't use these. They can do their job properly.

Don't leave data on all the time

Many keep Wi-Fi or mobile data on all the time. There is no need. The app also becomes active when there is an internet connection. They can then smuggle information online in the background. So be careful now.

Not all mail subscriptions

Email ID is required to access many sites online. But don't give away email access if you want. Doing so will only hurt you in the end. Your mail id is very important. It's not fair to give access everywhere.
