    One of the main reasons is that people choose an Android smartphone on iOS one, which is that they are capable of customizing and adjusting every aspect of their device. From personal nature to editing the aspects of software, Android offers a very different landscape that is played.

    So why did many security settings remain on dangerous default ways? There are many ways to adjust and togel your device, but you should know yourself with your Android phone, how to lock all the security features so you make sure you are the best.

    From checking some of the best Android anti -virus apps, knowing which settings need to be closed immediately, it is up to you to make sure you are practicing good cyber -cureity’s good hygiene.

    For example, you are checking what permission to each app when you download them to know if it is reasonable and safe. Nevertheless, there is no reason for a scribble app to access your photos, or a Word Processing app requires all your call logs, your location and your contact information. With the number of data violations, providing more personal information for apps is just awaiting theft of identity.

    To manage the apps on your phone, go to the settings, then tap on privacy, the next permission manager. Select the type of permission, tap an application then tap on ‘Don’t Allow’ if you want to remove the permission from the app. However, if you just don’t want to collect unnecessary data when the app is closed, you can choose ‘just allow the app’.

    Extend to unlock

    Unlock (called the first Smart Lock) is a feature that allows you to unlock your device at home or near a reliable device, which is easy. However, this is also dangerous because it means that if someone else is picking up your phone, it can also allow unauthorized access to your device.

    Tiring this feature (usually) does not add too much anxiety to your experience, and it can make another member of your home making an unapproved purchase on your device. Just go to the settings, then choose security and privacy, then choose more security and privacy and extend unlock. Close three features: body detected, reliable places and reliable devices.

    Lockscreen notifications

    Although it may be easy to see notifications on the lock screen, it may also be a major security risk if these information shows personal information such as banking details, medical appointments, emails or sensitive work details that should not be shared.

    Fortunately, any app for any app, these notifications can be broken at any time. Just go back to the menu of the settings, then select the notifications, the information on the lock screen, then ‘hide the silent conversation and the notifications.’ Then you can select ‘Do not show any information’ for any apps for which you don’t want to see alerts.

    Location and personal location

    Of all the permits, which is the most tough about your position and a personal place. This is because your phone is always using your location and tracking your current position to provide this data to apps that need to be provided (maps or delivery services are a good example). However, since your phone goes to wherever it goes, you should make sure that apps that do not need this data (maybe doolingo or pentarist) do not have access to it.

    Close locations for apps that are not needed, and if an app needs it, just turn it on when using the app. Settings, location, location services, tap on the date of Google locations and then turn it off or you can choose to auto delete it later.

    Personalized ads

    Unless you are one of the very rare people who are thinking “You know what I need in my life? More ads!” Then it is probably safe to understand that you are ready to turn off or block some ads on your phone. You do not need their personal nature, you need them.

    Open the settings, then go to Google, click on the next ads and tap on your Google account. From there, you should be able to click on data and privacy, then advertising settings and the personal nature of the ad where you can opt out. You don’t have to make their job easier – trust me, you’ll get ads.
