Use screen lock
The primary step to keep your smartphone safe is to use screen lock. Screen settings can be locked from the phone's settings. To lock the screen, first go to the phone's settings option. Then go to the 'security' option and choose which method to lock the phone. Generally, there are options such as PIN, password, pattern, fingerprint, face reckoning etc. Then click on the desired option (password, Face Recognition or fingerprint) to save it. After that, the phone or the fingerprint must be set to unlock the phone's screen.
Keep folder, important files, photos and videos locked
There are many personal files, pictures and videos on the smartphone. Reading them in other hands can be a big problem. And so it is better to keep the important files locked on the phone as a safeguard. Generally, Android devices do not have file locking by default. Then the way? There is no reason to worry. Because the third party in Google Play has many apps. They can lock the files on the phone with them. Similarly, an app is 'Folder Lock'. The app can be downloaded from this address (https://bit.ly/2HP3Szh). After installation, you need to enter a password when you start the app. Then you have to decide which files you want to lock in by entering the app. If you want to lock any app on the phone, you can use 'AppleChat' (https://bit.ly/1jjyav2).
Say 'no' to the free Wi-Fi
Be careful before using free public Wi-Fi while traveling anywhere or shopping in a shopping mall. Your device may be victimized due to hacking or malware from public Wi-Fi. This type of free Wi-Fi is done by cyber criminals. So it should not be connected to any unknown or unsafe Wi-Fi connection.
Uninstall the application from unknown source
Before installing an app on the device, remember that it is done from Google Play. It protects against viruses or malware attacks. Again some malware wants to be automatically installed on the phone. The only way to get rid of it is to install the application from unknown source. For this, first go to the phone settings option. Then click on the 'security' option. From there, the 'unknown sources' option is turned on. The application will not be installed directly from any unknown source.
