To protect your smartphone data from strangers, you can invite a person who wants to use your gadget to log in from a guest account. Yevgeny Chertok, the head of the IT department at the Reksoft software developer, named this method for owners of Android phones in an interview with the Prime agency.
He stressed that smartphones contain information that cannot be shared even with family members. We are talking about confidential data, correspondence, photographs and online banking.
Android phones from version 5 have a guest account function. According to Chertok, when this mode is turned on, a person will receive a phone without personal data, only with basic applications. You can enable this feature in the settings or in the notification panel.
For iOS owners, the CEO of ANO Digital Platforms Arseny Shcheltsin recommended using in the password code, not only numbers, but also letters, and also set up two-factor identification in the account Apple . “Enable the function to erase data if you enter an incorrect passcode. Together with synchronization and duplication of data in the cloud, this option will help avoid blackmail through sensitive information that may be found on your phone,” he also recommended.
