In addition to this, we must be aware that applications also need their updates and we must carry them out from the application store, whether Google Play Store or the App Store.The process is simple and fast, a check that we must perform at least weekly if we do not want to have automatic updates activated.

Antivirus are not the solution

The need to protect our mobile before hackers and security can lead us to install an antivirus in our mobile, although the truth is that we do not need it.In both Android and iOS, we have protection measures that have already been applied on our devices and therefore installing an antivirus can only slow our mobile without any other advantage.

Download only Play or App Store applications only

If we only install applications in the official application store each operating system, it will be practically impossible for any hacker to access our information and so we can stay safe.It is the best protection measure that we can apply and follow.

Do not connect to public wifi networks

It can be very tempting to connect to a public wifi network when we are far from our house when we have no Internet connection on our mobile, but this is the worst decision for our security.In case the WiFi network does not have bad intentions, if it could be poorly protected, with minimal security levels that serve hackers as a bridge to our information.

Another possibilities is that the wifi network is false and therefore when connecting to it freely, we are giving access to hacker.It is very complicated to know if a public wifi network really is safe and therefore, we recommend you avoid the maximum possible.It is preferable to ask a friend to share their own Wi -Fi network with us and we will know that we are not running any risk.

Use safe passwords

Each of the applications we have in our mobile or websites that need registration with user are based on a password that we do not always choose correctly.It is very important for our security that these passwords are based on basic principles that will protect our mobile from hackers and cyber attacks.

Stay attentive against phishing

In recent times, phishing has shot, becoming a great threat to our data.Through email, getting through our bank or other recognized means that request sensitive information.The measures to protect us before this are based on remaining attentive to the aspect of the email, observe the emitter of the email and ask in case of doubt.

Email security systems are increasing.We must never give private information, bank accounts or passwords through our mobile and much less when we have not requested anything.When in doubt, it is best to call and get in touch with the bank or the corresponding entity.

Control the permissions of your applications

Another security measure that we can take with the applications of our mobile has to do with access to the microphone, files or the camera.It is very important to keep the accesses we grant and remove them at home that it is not merely essential.In both iOS and Android, security measures are increasingly strict and allow us to adapt them to our need.

Modify permissions on iPhone

Los pasos que debemos seguir en nuestro iPhone para controlar los accesos de privacidad que hemos otorgado a cada aplicación, tenemos que entrar en Ajustes > Privacidad y acceder a los permisos.By touching in each of them, we can modify them manually to correct it and keep us safe.
