Today I will tell you top 10 tips to Secure Your Smartphone in 2021. So please read complete article and save your data from Worldwide Hackers. You should follow the instructions given below.
1. Third Party App Downloads
DON’T DOWNLOAD APPS FROM THIRD PARTY SITES. And also DO NOT Download any apk files from anywhere on google.
If you Want to download any App then Kindly go to the Play Store and Download
it. If you download any apk from third party sites then this maybe the reason
of your data hack.
2. Turn off Unknown Sources
Sometimes you forgot that you don’t Have to Download any app from third
party sites. Then this problem have simple solution. Kindly go to your settings
and search or find downloads from unknown sources. And turn off it. Sometimes
it maybe urgent to download something from google which you can’t get on Play
Store then you can turn on it and download that one. After downloading that app
or etc. Don’t forget to turn it off.
Sometimes
Play Store also might have problematic apps, which you have
downloaded by mistake, because obviously you don’t know that Then it has a
solution to know whether the app you downloaded is problematic or not. SOLUTION
IS PERMISSON
3. Permissions
If you are android 10 or 11 user then you batter know about it. Still
let me tell you that Suppose you have downloaded a Game which may require
microphone (mic) but no camera But Still if they ask you about Camera
permissions then DON’T ALLOW THEM AND DELETE THAT GAME.
Batter to find their alternatives.
4. OS And App updates
KEEP UPDATING YOUR OS AND APPS. Updates Brings Bug fixes and Security
Patches. If you are using old OS then it means you have opened doors for
Hackers. One more benefit of updates is you can explore new features on your
device.
5. Different Password
Most of you are using many social media apps like Facebook, Instagram,
twitter etc. And definitely most of you will have more than one account on
every apps. But many of you are using common password on every app and each
account. CHANGE IT QUIKLY. Or if you have lots & lots of Account then you can use password
manager app or I will provide you link of any trusted app below.

6. Device Backup
Constantly take Backup of your
important photos, videos or any kind of important data on Google drive. Take
your back after every 15 days. Because if Your phone gets stolen or misplaced
then all your data will be lost. And download ‘Find my device’ app (from
google). With help of this app you can easily find your phone And if you have
your data back up then you can delete your data remotely.
7. Device Charging
We charge our phones a lot in
Public places like Bus stations, Railway station etc. DON’T CHARGE
YOUR PHONE AT PUBLIC PLACES. There are strong
chances of Phishing attack on your Smartphone. Because the adapters you see at
public places may have some chip inside it, that can extract all your data from
your smartphones. If you think that your smartphone’s battery is draining then
you can carry a power bank with you but don’t use public place’s chargers.
8. No Need of Antivirus App
If you are updating your OS and
apps then probably there is no risk of virus but is you are using this for
storage cleaning then there is also no use of this. Nowadays every OS have
their own cleaner.
9. Use Passphrase
One more thing that is important,
we usually use pin or password but never use passcode or passphrase & that
is the safest. Because pattern and pin can easily be hacked so it’s always safe
to use passphrase. Even your 4digit pin also can be hacked.
10. Incognito mode
We often use incognito mode
thinking that it is safe. If you want to browse something private, use TOR
browser as it is kind of VPN, But normal incognito mode is not private.
