2. Checking Application Permissions
If you have reduced the list of applications on your cellphone, now is the time you need to be careful in giving permission. The more permissions an app has, the more it can do on your device.
In particular, more and more personal data is collected by the application. So it’s best to only give permission for each app to a minimum for operation and grant permission only if you trust the app.
3. Checking for Updates
Updates to apps are always important because they fix vulnerabilities, which means they can protect your phone from attacks.
It’s known, apps from Google Play are generally updated automatically, but to be sure, you can check directly and update them yourself.
4. Scanning with Antivirus
By installing an antivirus on your cellphone, you can always check or scan applications, files and others that you store on your phone.
Even though it looks trivial, all possibilities can arise from time to time. You can choose an antivirus that can be accessed for free but when you want to scan your cellphone, you have to do it manually. In contrast to Kaspersky Security Cloud for Android, which can automatically scan cellphones.
5. Check the phone for data leaks
Mobile phones are easy to carry and can be operated in place of notebooks. Of course you have a lot of personal information on it.
Likewise with photos to social networking applications with all the conversations you have. Unfortunately, data leaks are becoming more common nowadays.
For example, if your password or bank card number falls into the hands of cybercriminals, you are instantly a victim. Therefore, to avoid this, you need to look for information as often as possible on how to protect your cellphone from data leakage.
Meanwhile, Kaspersky suggests that you can use Kaspersky Security Cloud which can provide recommendations on what you should do to make your phone safe.
