Smartphones are one of the most important gadgets in almost everyone’s life. Several people buy high-end mobile phones for the ease of working with fast processing power and high-definition cameras. Such mobile phones can cost as high as Rs. 1,50,000 which increases the chances of theft. Also, in some instances, you may lose your phone due to one or the other reason. Hence it is very important to know some very easy but beneficial ways to keep your smartphones safe-
Always protect your smartphones with a very strong password that cannot be easily cracked. This helps in keeping your data secure within the phone. It prevents the attacker from manipulating your phone data to trace your location, important bank details, etc. There have been instances where thieves have been able to track down an individual to commit burglary only by having access to one’s phone.
Use apps that help you to track your mobile in case it is lost. Several phones come with an in-built feature to track your phone’s location in case it is lost. Remember to always keep the feature on.
Buy a mobile protection plan that provides you financial security in case of theft or burglary. With such a plan even if your phone is stolen or lost the cost of the phone will be reimbursed by the insurer. One of the best mobile protection plans against theft and burglary is the Purchase Protection Plan by Bajaj Finserv which provides a sum insured of up to Rs. 1,50,000 at a minimal premium of Rs. 199.
Remember to update your Operating System and apps regularly. The updates come with a security update and advanced methods to track your phone in case it is lost.
Discreetly use your device in public spaces and ensure that you keep it safe when in a crowded location.
Carry your phone in a wallet that has a special pocket to keep your phone. This prevents pickpockets from easily digging into your bag for the phone.
Keep your data on the cloud to have a backup always and you can also delete the data if needed.
Be mindful while you use your phone to carry out online transactions using PhonePe, GPay, etc. There may be attackers watching out for security PINs.
