Smartphones have become very important in our everyday affairs. They have become very important that we cannot do anything without them. Due to our obsession with our phones, there are a whole lot of important rules we forget to follow.
So here are some tips everyone should know about their mobile phone:
Update your software:
Whenever an update is released for your device, download and installs it right away.
These updates often include security fixes, vulnerability patches, making your mobile phone work fast, and other necessary maintenance as well.
Lock your device with a passcode
Without this kind of security in effect, anyone who picks up your phone can access your apps and the data held within.
Set a passcode that only you know and it’s hard for others to get.
For those devices that allow it, you can also set a “touch ID” that opens the phone in response to your fingerprint or set a “face ID” that unlocks a phone when the front-facing camera recognizes you.
Avoid suspicious links
Clicking on a phishing link or opening an attachment in one of these messages may install malware, like viruses, spyware, or ransomware, on your device.
This is all done behind the scenes, so it is undetectable to the average user. False email, text, and message accounts pretending to be a person or entity you know is a common cybercriminal trick.
Use unique passwords for all your apps
The point of having a password is to prevent any unauthorized access to your online accounts.
With passwords that are unique to each account, you're even safer. Case in point: a hacker or thief gaining access to one account won't necessarily lead to your other accounts getting compromised.
Use a VPN on public Wi-Fi networks
VPNs are important because internet connections can be eavesdropped on easily by malicious cybercriminals.
Whether you are using wireless or wired connections, your data might be visible to others that can access the network.
So, if you must use open Wi-Fi in a situation like this, get a VPN app for your mobile device.
It makes you anonymous online, so you can use open Wi-Fi safely hidden from the eyes of lurking cybercriminals.
