Your phone contains some of your most private and sensitive data. Examples include passwords, account numbers, emails, text messages, pictures, and videos. If your phone ends up in the wrong hands, someone might steal your identity, use your money, or hack into your email or social media accounts. Here’s how to safeguard your phone.

1. Increase your security by using your face, finger, pattern, or PIN

The most basic kind of protection is to lock your phone using a facial ID, a fingerprint, or a pin, especially in the event of loss or theft. To add additional security, go a step further. Double your line of defense by using two-factor authentication on programs that allow it and creating strong passwords for the accounts on your phone.

Your operating system’s upgrades typically include essential security updates. Set your phone to update automatically. Otherwise, be on the lookout for updates, and don’t delay getting them. Additionally, you need to update your apps.

Alternatively, unless you are protected, avoid connecting to public Wi-Fi networks. When accessing unsecured public networks like those found in airports, coffee shops, and hotels, a VPN conceals your connection from hackers and enables you to connect covertly. Given how much personal and professional business we perform on our smartphones, having a VPN connection will provide you the peace of mind that your private information, documents, and online activities are protected from prying eyes.
