If you have opened this post, I assume you have a smartphone. If not here’s a new product just for you! If not here’s a new product just for you! Because it is very difficult to live without a smartphone nowadays. But if you do not turn on some settings of this phone, you may have to pay a heavy price for it. I want my readers to enjoy a wonderful digital life. And today’s post is a continuation of that effort. Let’s take a look at the features that you should get on your smartphone right now for your own safety.

1. SIM PIN code

Many people do not want to keep the PIN code check feature of SIM running for fear. Because usually after giving wrong PIN code 3 times, SIM card can not be activated without another security code (Pak code). This Pak code is written on the documents that are given with the SIM. If you change the PIN code of the SIM and then turn on the PIN code feature, then you have to enter the PIN code every time you turn on the phone. Otherwise that SIM will not be activated. So in this case, if your phone is lost, then no one can use the SIM card. Because only you know the pin code. If you turn on the pin code feature, that SIM will no longer be turned on on any phone – unless the correct PIN is entered. If you give wrong PIN 3 times and usually wrong Pak code 10 times, that SIM will be permanently lost. So if you turn on this important feature, you will get rid of unwanted use of mobile.

2. Storage encryption

Even if you keep the smartphone locked with a password, it is still possible to retrieve your photos, videos and all stored data from it in a special way. I have seen many people crying for fear of leaking ‘personal’ data after losing their phone. But With screen lock If you encrypt both the internal storage of the phone and the memory card storage, it will not be possible to recover data from that phone and memory card without encryption / decryption password. Encryption is a popular technology for privacy, which bypasses data recovery is not the work of ordinary people. However, some research institutes and government authorities may have encryption bypass strategies, which in fact cannot be stopped by anything.

3. GPS tracking

If the phone’s data and location / GPS is turned on, you can use the ‘Find My Device’ feature to see where the phone is on the map. You can then ring it out loud if you want and / or lock the set or delete its data. But if the thief gives your phone a factory reset, then GPS tracking will no longer work.

4. App Locker

If you occasionally have to hand over your phone to others, you can use App Locker to protect your important data. Shaomi Including some phones (Including iPhone) There is an app locker feature in the settings through which you can lock various functions of the phone which cannot be opened without password / pattern / fingerprint. Besides Third party Some apps too There is Through which this facility can be introduced. This will allow you to properly protect your privacy.

5. Online contact synchronization

Keep your phone contacts, messages, etc. synchronized online. Almost every phone manufacturer provides this service through which phone numbers, messages, notes etc. can be saved online. You can also use it for Android Google Contacts App. And there is iCloud for iPhone.

. Cloud file storage

You can upload your important files, documents, etc. online from your phone. Later, if there is a problem with the phone, you can access all your data online again. That’s why Google Drive Can use.

. Upload photos and videos online

Whatever the storage of the phone, one day it will run out (that is, it will be full). Then you can sync photos and videos online so you don’t have to lose anything forever. In this case Google Photos And / or Flickr You can use the app. Free unlimited photos and videos can be uploaded to Google Photos (resized). When WiFi is turned on, these will be automatically uploaded online from the gallery, with privacy control in your hands. And you can upload your full resolution photos on Flickr for a total of 1000 GB space.

In addition to online, offline, that is, you can keep a backup of this data on your computer, so that even if the phone is expensive, you will not lose your useful information. Some phones, such as the iPhone, provide a very powerful activation lock system, through which the phone can no longer be used unless you sign in online with the correct ID-password. In the case of iPhone, it is also called iCloud Lock. If you turn on the Find My iPhone feature, it will lock iCloud Activation lock It starts automatically. In this case, even if you want to reset the phone, you need to sign in to Apple. In that case, the one who has iCloud Lock with Apple ID needs his ID password. If such activation lock cannot be opened then it cannot be used for any purpose other than unlocking the parts of the device.
