QUICK TIPS
Five Steps To Secure My Smartphone
01 IMPLEMENT A STRONG PASSWORD AND BIOMETRICS
We covered the importance of a strong password earlier. And this also applies to your smartphone too. While using your birthdate can seem convenient, if you wouldn't use that on your PC, then you shouldn't use it on your phone either. Take a look at our tips on password creation. If your smartphone supports the use of biometric features to log in, such as fingerprint authenticators or facial recognition, use those in addition to passwords to ensure any unauthorised access is nearly impossible.
02 DOWNLOAD APPS ONLY FROM SECURE SOURCES
Although it may be tempting to jailbreak or root your phone and make use of third-party apps promising to speed up and unlock extra features on your phone, avoid the temptation. Before downloading an app, conduct research to ensure the app is legitimate. This can include checking user reviews and comparing the app sponsor's official website with the app store link to confirm consistency, in addition to the registered name of the app supplier. Many apps from untrusted sources contain malware that, once installed, can steal information, install viruses, and cause harm to your phone's contents. This also relates to scanning QR codes. Always make sure you know the source of the code you're scanning.
