How To Secure Your Android Phone From Hackers
Children to old ages all people are using smartphones. According to the information given by the Digital Trends website on technology, only 1.5 billion smartphones have been sold worldwide in 2016. But most smartphone users are not aware of the security of information on the phone. Hackers are taking advantage of the opportunity to photograph, phone and other important information. Imagine Facebook scrolling to see your name, another Facebook account to use your picture. But you have never uploaded that picture on Facebook. You will definitely fall into anxiety. The Guardian tells you how you can survive from theft or hacking.
Software update
Always try to keep your smartphone up to date. If hackers find a way to scam with your phone,then you can stop through new software updates. Not only for smartphones, it is very important to keep the computer updated.
Always be aware of installing apps
Android users are at greater risk of hacking. The main reason is the third party app (third party app created). These apps ask for some permissions when installing. To install the app quickly, please read what's right before you press the Next button. Many times the app is installed from outside the Play Store. This can be a risk factor for you. So installing the app from the Play Store is safe.
Difficult password
When the phone is stolen or robbed, personal information goes away unsafe. It is best to use difficult passwords to avoid this risk. And there is a separate tracking service for iOS and Android to find mobile.
Do not save passwords
We save password to avoid the hassle of typing the password over and over again. Someone else wants to use your smartphone or computer. But you forgot to log out. In such a situation, you can lose the security of your account. So it's a smart job to save passwords. And do not use the same password for all accounts.
Personal information
It is better not to disclose all information through social communication. You can also risk your own account from your personal information. For example, if your date of birth is given on Facebook, it will be easier for hackers to get into your account with information. Be careful about personal information.
Free WiFi
If you have a WiFi connection without password, please refrain from connecting. Along with the free WiFi connection, many information on your phone goes away on the WiFi Router. From here, your phone's IP address will easily be able to steal your phone's information.
App Lock
Lock apps with personal information through password. There are many personal information in social media apps. For example, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter etc.
