Smartphone has become like another child in our home nowadays. So, here are some of the ways via which you can secure your phone.
Two-factor authentication
Let’s seek some of the help of the giant search engine, Google. No matter whenever you buy a new smartphone, Google asks you to open an account since all your synced data gets stored in the Google Cloud. Go to the Google settings and enable the 2FA now.
Use a secure screen lock.
The primary step from protecting someone to sneak peek your phone is to set up with a new secure screen lock. You can use a pattern, password, or PIN. Pattern lock is drawing any design joining the dots on your screen. Make sure that you clean the screen of your phone.
Set up a sim card lock.
You have set a screen lock, app lock, Google lock, and all other security locks. Now, what if someone removes your SIM from your smartphone and insert it into theirs? What does someone send the wrong messages from your smartphone? To avoid all these things, you have to set a lock for your SIM card.
Use a secured Wifi.
Getting free Wi-Fi is like getting a free sweet. But make sure to be careful! That sweet might be poisoned. Yes, once your phone gets connected to any untrusted WiFi network, then there are all chances to send anything to your phone with that network.
