Your smartphone holds your life: photos, payments, passwords, making strong cybersecurity habits more important than ever.

Lock It Right: Always use a strong PIN, biometric lock, or password to block unauthorized access in seconds.

Update Without Delay: Regular software updates patch security loopholes that hackers actively exploit.

Download Apps Carefully: Install apps only from trusted stores and check permissions before tapping “Allow.”

Beware of Public Wi-Fi: Avoid logging into banking or work apps on public Wi-Fi without a secure VPN.

Enable Two-Factor Authentication: Two-factor authentication adds an extra shield even if your password gets compromised.

Spot Phishing Attempts: Suspicious links, urgent messages, and fake delivery alerts are common smartphone scams.

Limit App Permissions: Deny unnecessary access to your camera, microphone, contacts, and location data.

Back Up Your Data: Regular cloud or offline backups protect your data if your phone is lost or hacked.
