Android is the most popular smartphone operating system all
around the world. The reason of its popularity is that Google has given the
hardware manufacturers and the developers fair bit of freedom to make changes
in the operating system. This feature or freedom of Android is quite helpful
for the tech savvy people as they can swap default things that they do not like
by things that they love using. The number of apps and the kind of ease Android
provides for installing and uninstalling apps is a blessing for them and they
do not find it threatening. The Google’s OS has millions of users around the
world and they are not aware of the fact that their privacy might be
compromised with the loopholes Android has. So, here are some tips that will
help user to enjoy using their favorite OS safely.
Be Careful When
Installing Apps
Thinking that downloading apps for popular or reliable
stores does not impose any sort of risk on your privacy is really a wrong
perception. The fact is that nearly 40 percent of the apps available on the
official Android store i.e. Google Play or reliable store like Amazon are
injurious to your privacy. Apps leak the user’s information with or without
permission to the third party. The long forms that the Android users do not
read or just a small message that the app will require your information are
usually answered positively without giving it a second thought. So, the users
need to download apps of only those companies that have a proper website, the
developer is renowned or reliable or the app is extremely famous.
Enabling Lock Screen
Lock screen is a major weapon of security for not just
Android, but, for all the smartphone users. Lock screen acts as the first line
defense for the smartphones. An ordinary thief or crook cannot get through to
the screen lock to the data saved in it. In fact, if the lock screen password
is entered wrong a multiple times, the phone gets locked and returns to the
factory settings. That is how handy the lock screen is. But, the password needs
to be a tough and tricky one. No matter you opt for the standard password or
PIN or a pattern, they all need to be complex to keep the crooks out of the
stolen smartphone.
Using Data Security
App
As discussed above, the users should be extremely careful
while installing apps on their Android phone. And as advised above, one should
download app that is either extremely popular or the app being developed from a
renown developer. There are hundreds and thousands of data security apps
available in the stores, but, which is the one to opt for. I will highly
recommend Folder Lock Pro
as it is the extension of the famous encryption software Folder Lock. The app
is reliable, it does not leak information with or without permission. It is extremely
easy to use and has a wonder user interface. This is the app that you can trust
for the security of your data.
