If you do not pay attention to these 5 things, hackers will break into your 'secret data'! Do this work immediately without delay

Smartphone Privacy Tips​: Everyone is using smartphones today. Whether you want to gather information on any subject or reach anywhere, you can easily accomplish your work through apps. However, some hackers keep adopting new methods to cheat people.

You can protect your personal data from hackers. For this, you just need to keep a few things in mind.

Keep your smartphone software updated

To keep your smartphone safe from hackers, do not forget to update your smartphone's software regularly. Operating system updates keep coming in iOS or Android. Security patches are also included in these updates. If you are very busy, you can enable automatic updates.

Do not give all permissions to apps

Whenever you download an app on your smartphone, some permissions are asked from you, such as your location, contact information... But some people do not pay attention to this in a hurry and allow all the permissions. 

By checking the privacy settings of your phone, you can disable unnecessary access to camera, microphone, location, contacts and other sensitive data.

Use encrypted messaging apps

Using encrypted messaging apps to send messages to anyone can be a better option. This can keep your personal data safe because standard text messages (SMS) are not encrypted. You can use WhatsApp for messaging.

Privacy-focused browsers will be helpful

Privacy-focused browsers like Brave or Firefox Focus can help keep your personal data safe. You can use DuckDuckGo for searching. It does not track browsing history.

Avoid downloading unverified apps and links

Download any app only from Google Play Store or App Store. Many people download apps through links on social media, which can lead to data theft and also the risk of viruses entering the phone.
