On average, we check our phones nearly 100 times and spend around 5 1/2 hours on them daily, according to a report from analytics firm data.ai, formerly App Annie. But you may not know there are some things you do on the phone to put yourself at risk. There are some things you should never do on your phone. First: never call back an unknown number. Schemers often use familiar area codes to gain your trust while accessing your information. Experts also say accessing banking information from your device is a bad idea; some banking apps lack proper security features. When it comes to apps, never download them from third-party websites. It may give you paid software for free but opens you up to malware. Avoid storing information like passwords or your address on your device. Apps like LastPass and 1Password offer secure ways to store passwords. When it is time to charge your phone, avoid using a public charging station that can be easily modified to give cybercriminals access to your phone. It’s also a good idea to turn off your phone frequently. This wipes all the cache and temporary data stored on your phone, opening up storage and longer battery life. And don’t bother with battery-saving apps; they consume battery life when running in the background and are usually a waste of money. All they do is turn off the features that aren’t being used, and you can do that yourself for free.
