Here’s how to secure your Android phone

Thanks to the new functionalities developed in recent years, your Android smartphone has become much more than a simple communication tool, since it contains valuable personal data, which is why you need to secure it against piracy.

First, make sure your system and applications are up to date. Updates are essential because they correct security flaws that can be exploited by hackers.

Remember to activate automatic updates for Android.

Next, install an antivirus for Android. Your smartphone functions like a mini-computer and is also exposed to viruses and malware.

Finally, don’t make it easy for hackers to use unprotected public networks. Disable Bluetooth and NFC (Near Field Communication) when not in use.

Limit unnecessary access to reduce the risk of hacking.

In the event of loss or theft, it will be easy to locate your phone. Go to Settings -Security -Locate my device. Activate remote localization and locking.
