Protect Apps

Type - 4
Child Mode

Have you ever tried to give your baby a hand in your hand? I do! and I found my Nexus set in Russian! Child mode, when activated, is used to block some apps that might harm you if you are handled by your child.

How to do:  Setting ==> Child Mode ==> Turn on


Type - 5
Use the Security App

This app allows you to control every single activity on your phone. The Security app has already installed stock on your Miui phone.
From the official forum: Here are 7 Things you (probably) did not know your Security app can do.


Type - 6
Install apps ONLY from known sources

You should only install apps from known sources: Google play or Mi store. Do not download apps from any pincopallo-store because they may contain malware that will irreparably infect your phone. To prevent some apps from installing from unknown sources, there is a setting to activate.

How to do:
Setting ==> Additional settings ==> Privacy ==> un-check the “Unknown Sources” box


Type - 7
Eyes to root or Jailbreak your phone

Obviously having the phone rooted allows you to do many operations that would not normally be possible. But there is another side of the coin, giving your phone root permissions involves greater security risks as all files will be accessible, so all apps installed by the user will also have access to system files. So our advice is: if you don't explicitly need root, don't root your phone!


Type - 8
Protect Your Google Account

Your Google Account is a quick access to your personal information, try thinking about GMAIL, Google Drive, Youtube, etc. all controlled by a single account:

Please enable two-step verification of your Gaccount.

How to do: Control your Google experience, all in one place


Type - 9
Do not allow Wi-Fi automatic connections

Some smartphones are set to automatically connect when an open Wi-Fi network is available. Nothing is wrong, as these networks communicating with your phone may transmit malicious data or steal information.

Disable the option to connect automatically, How to do it:
Setting ==> Wifi ==> Advanced settings ==> Untick scanning always available
Setting ==> Bluetooth ==> Untick discoverable


Type - 10
Get rid of unused applications.

Statistically, more applications installed on your phone, the more risk you infect is high. Some lesser apps may contain malicious code inside them. If you buy the phone from unofficial resellers or channels, terminals may have pre-installed applications (many times Chinese), our advice is to uninstall them instantly, 1 on 3 have codes inside them that if they run can compromise your your security.

How to do:
Settings ==> Installed apps ==> tap on the app you need to delete in the list and press “Wipe data” and “Disable”.


Type - 11
Backup your data
1. Use Mi Cloud Storage or Online Drive to save your data.

How-to: Tools ==> Mi Account ==> Login Ur Account ==> Mi Cloud ==> Backup device ==> 'Tick' Mi Cloud Backup ==> Schedule your back up time

2. Synchronize your contacts.
How to do: Settings ==> Accounts ==> Sync ==> 'Tick'Sync option


Type - 12
Find Device (find phone)
1.Activate your Mi account and check the phone finder (We Cloud)

2. Find your device through Android Device Manager.

Log in with your Gaccount via android.com/devicemanager.
Click on the dart near the name of the device. Android Device Manager will locate your phone.

What to do:
Setting ==> Additional settings ==> Privacy ==> Device Administrators ==> Tick the “Android device manager” box
Setting ==> Additional settings ==> Location ==> Tick the “Access to my location” box ==> Select High accuracy

 


Type - 13
Share banking information or personal data only through sites with HTTPS protection

Https protocol allows much safer navigation, share your bank or credit card information ONLY if the following sites are HTTPS.

 

If you have followed our advice to the letter, your device is safer, but remember that the greater safety is your common sense; if something smells too cheap or to you poco sure leave it alone.

With.
