Software updates

It is very important to keep the software updated to protect the phone from any kind of hacking or error. Smartphone companies issue updates for the phone from time to time, in which security patches and new features are introduced for the phone. The security update or operating system update that comes in the phone ensures that your phone continues to run on the most secure version.

Use secure apps

There are thousands of different types of apps available on Play Store and App Store. Therefore, keeping in mind the security, we should use secure apps, in which technology like encryption has been used. Encryption keeps your data secure and no one else can access your chats. Apple's iMessage and Facebook's WhatsApp support end-to-end encryption.

Avoid giving access to all apps

From your location to contacts, apps take up a lot of data from your phone. If you do not want your data to be passed on to anyone else, the best way is to avoid downloading such apps that ask for access to your personal information.

Apart from this, delete those apps completely from the phone which you do not use, because these apps also increase the storage of the phone along with accessing data.
