1: Secure Your Phone with a Passcode
The first step to secure your phone
is to lock it with a strong passcode. A passcode consists of 4 to 6 digits, and
choosing random numbers for your passcode is more secure than selecting an obvious
option like 1234. Using biometric authentication such as fingerprints and face
recognition is also a secure way to lock your phone.

2: Keep Your Phone's Software Up-to-Date

vulnerabilities. By keeping your phone's software up-to-date, you ensure that

3: Be Careful With Suspicious Links and Emails
Hackers often use phishing
techniques to get access to your smartphone. They send emails and messages that
appear to be from a legitimate source, and when you click on them, they install
malware on your phone. Therefore, it is crucial to be careful with suspicious
links and emails.

4: Use a VPN to Browse the Internet
When you connect to public Wi-Fi,
your smartphone could be at risk of hacking. Hackers can intercept the data you
transmit over the network and steal your sensitive information. By using a
virtual private network (VPN), you can encrypt your traffic, and it securely
bypasses public Wi-Fi restrictions.

5: Install Antivirus Software
To protect your phone from malware
and viruses, you should install reliable antivirus software. An antivirus app
secures your device from all types of threats such as Trojans, spyware, adware,
and phishing attacks. Make sure to select an antivirus app from a trusted
source.
