We need to use our cellphones safely and smartly as our cellphones hold sensitive data, monitor our position, and provide access to our personal accounts.

Here are some major points every user should keep in their mind:

Put a passcode on your phone

Most phones need a 4-digit passcode, but some will let you set up a more complex passcode, a pattern, or a biometric lock that uses your fingerprint or facial recognition.

If you can't put a passcode on your phone or if the abusive individual demands that you share your passcode, consider borrowing someone else's phone to search for safety information or call a helpline.

Turn off location sharing

Phones have GPS built-in that can identify your position, and certain phones and applications allow you to share that information.

You can modify your location sharing through your phone's settings, where you can pick which applications may access your location or turn it off entirely.

Some apps also allow you to modify your location sharing from inside the app's settings.

Use anti-virus and anti-spyware software on your phone

You can look up reliable programs online and discover them in app stores.

Many offer free versions, and the services can safeguard your smartphone from being infected by stalker ware and other dangerous programs.

Check your privacy & security settings

Most phones feature options that allow you to control your privacy and security.

These controls may be found in the phone's or app's settings.

Log out of apps and accounts

Consider signing out of accounts so that others can’t access them if they have access to your phone.

Some applications may not allow you to log out without uninstalling them from your phone.

It may be more difficult to access the account through the browser, but base your decision on your personal privacy and safety concerns.

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.

The heat coming from the sunlight along with all the processing power running in the background is bound to heat up your smartphone.

Over Screen Brightness

Turning your brightness up will force your battery to work harder and create more heat causing the overheat of your phone.

Unused Apps

Unused apps running in the background cause your phone to work harder, which in turn causes it to heat up.

There are some apps that are a drain on both processing power as well as graphics, such apps to heat up the device. These apps play in the background and add to the processing power's drain out.

This excess of processing power results in overheating of the device.

Case

Keeping the smartphone in a cover case traps mostly while charging and playing games doesn’t let heat emit out of the handset.

Coving your phone with a case every time also leads to overheating of your phone.
