It's packed with your contacts, emails, photos, texts and browsing history.Unfortunately, and I'm sure you know this, friends and family like to snoop, thieves have no trouble walking away with gadgets in public and hackers are getting better at making malicious data-stealing apps.In other words, you want to keep other people as far away from it as possible. Just thinking about someone else on my phone and what they could do with the information in it gives me the chills.You don't have to put up with any of it, though. Keep reading and I'll tell you how to lock down your iPhone, iPad, Android gadgets or Windows phone so that snoops and criminals don't get their hands on your valuable information.here  i am provide  you  7  methode  for  preventing  your  sencitive  data  from  black hat  hackers who want  to  harm you,simply  keep  in  mind  use this  7 tricks  is  compalsory.

#1. Only and only  install trusted apps

hackers  use  this  methode  to  steal your  mobile  sencitive  data .some time he create a apps  or  we  can say Bad apps  and    loaded with malware that can infect your mobile  with viruses and steal your information easily  you  do not  take  further  action if  you install  his  created  application successfully.. i  suggest  you  Newer ones even hijack your contact list to spam your friends and infect their gadgets.when  you  download  any  application  from  google play   store  or  from  any site  which  offer to  download  android apps  free, i reccomend  first  check  its  certificate. You can lower the risk by only installing apps from the major app stores - Google, Apple, Amazon and Microsoft. This isn't a big problem for Apple, but Android allows you to visit third-party app stores.so  became  familar  with  these trick  by  which  you are hacked  by  your enemies,who really  want to harm  you.
I  reccomend  always  use  android  debugger  option  almost every android  phone  have  this  feature  in  setting  section .if  you dont  know  how  to  desable  unknown source or  untrusted source from  your  mobile  You simply  go to Settings>>>Security and unchecking the "Unknown Sources" option. see bellow  picture  of  my  android  mobile  for  better understanding.You should also check the "Verify Apps" option if you have it.



Still, even legitimate apps can grab information from your phone that you might not want to share. That's why you need to check the app's permissions before you install it.
Unfortunately, just because an app is in the Google Play, Apple or Windows store doesn't guarantee it's completely safe.so  i  suggest  always  uncheck  unknown sources and  remove  untrusted  apllication  from  your smart phone. You still want to check reviews and visit the app's official website to confirm it's trustworthy and not a fake copy. Or grab the link from a trustworthy site.you  also  give  sometime  to read  thier privacy  policy which  give   you idea  about  what  is  the   pupose of  creater and  see the  source  code  of the  apllication.

#2. use a strong  PIN or password

many of the  people  dont know  the function  of  password i hope  you   know that one-third of smartphone users don't set up the lock screen on their phones , one day i ask  a question from some people  why  you are  not  using  passsword  in  your  android  smartphone   and  they  replied  me with a funny  answer  that  is  they  forget  password.I don't mean the default "Swipe to unlock" screen - that won't stop a bad guy.
I  suggest  you always  use  highly  strong  password  not  simple  paswword  like 12345 .hackers  easily guis this  type  of  password so become aware .
for  android  users  if  you  dont  know  how  to  lock  mobile  phone don't  worry  I am  here for you you   simply  open  your mobile  setting  section and under  the  setting  go  to lock screan section(setting>>lock screan)
For Windows phones,you  simply   go to the Start screen of the  windowsmobile   and tap Settings>>Lock screen to set up your  strong passcode  with  spacial  character like @,#,$,!,%.

Important notice :    make  sure that  you set your mobile  to lock automatically after a few minutes. An hour gives a criminal plenty of time to poke through your information.so always  use  this  feature.

#3. always Keep your smartphone to yourself only

This  is very  importent  that  never  give  your  smartphone  to  that  person  who  really  wants  to  harm  you  because  some  program  available  on  the  internet  which work  with  single  click ,you  never expect  that  in  only 1  minute you became  hacked,and  your  all information  is  steal .so  this  is  make  sure  that  first  check  who is  right  and  and  who  is  your  enemy.Would you let just anyone hold your wallet unattended? Probably  I think  not.So don't lend out your phone or tablet to people you don't know persionaly . If you do let someone borrow your mobile , make sure you're in a public place and be sure that your phone stays close by.
Did  you  know that sometime even your family member or friend  install a spy app on your phone,and  you  don't aware about  that.there are  plenty  of  such  type  of  spy program  available  on  the internet.
my  reccomendation  is  please: Don't leave it sitting out in plain sight in a restaurant or coffee shop  or anywhere else.

#4. use  free security apps for preventing your data

I know  you  love  your smartphone  very much  but  you   know  that  your  information  easily  stolen  by  hacker in  single  click .Your smartphone isn't immune to viruses. If it gets infected, it leaves you open to hackers and anyone else trying to steal your information.so  i  reccomend  use  security  apps for  your  smartphone .there  are  many  free security  program  available  on  the internet.if  you  don't  know  which application   work  perfectly  and  take  appropriate  action  over  malware and  viruses.I recommend my sponsor Webroot apllication because  It is a  free security app  which  scans your other apps  also   for malicious code  which  is   injected  by  hackers and  also  it  notify   you  that  you're in danger. Not only that, it protects you from online phishing scams that might trick you into giving up your information or downloading something you shouldn't.other  appliacton  is  also available  on  google  play  store  that is  avg  security  ,it  also  work  fine  and  over  100,000,000  users  download it   in past  days.

#5. Always  Wipe your old phone before donating, selling or recycling

you  are  living  in  modern era  and  i know  you  are eager to   use  diffrent mobile  in diffrent  occation but did  you  know  if  you  selling  your  smartphone without  wiping  it  completly  your  information  become  leaked even  if  you  are deleted  some  of  your vides and pictures .this  is not   matter  that  you  delete your  all information because  if  your  mobile  stay in  bad  hand then he  easily  recover  all  of your  deleted  items.I don't just mean deleting apps, files, photos and videos. Hackers and other criminals can easily recover deleted information. I mean wiping the phone's internal memory so that no trace of personal information is left behind.so  alway  wipe your  smartphone before  donating  or  selling even  recycling.

#6. Stay safe on public Wi-Fi networks

Free public Wi-Fi is a smart way to surf on your smartphone without eating into your data plan. But there's a dangerous side to public hotspots.Hackers love to infiltrate these networks to snoop for valuable information, like secure account logins and credit card numbers.Stay safe by doing banking or shopping at home or over cellular using your financial institution's app. You can also use an encryption service like Hotspot Shield VPN.

#7. how to  Enable remote location and wiping

Always plan as if the worst will happen. You'll want to be ready if -- or when -- it does.
I should mention that 1.6 million smartphones were stolen in the U.S. last year - and smartphone theft is growing, even with a universal smartphone kill switch in the works.
If your gadget is lost or stolen, tracking apps can tell you exactly where your phone is. These apps also let you wipe sensitive information remotely. If your phone does end up landing in the wrong hands, you can at least make sure they don't get your information.iOS users have Find My iPhone. To enable it, go to Settings>>iCloud. Look for Find My iPhone and turn it on.
For Android, use Android Device Manager. To enable tracking, launch the app, link it to a Google account and follow the directions.
Lost your phone in your house? This app lets you whistle for it.
For Windows phones, there's the Find My Phone feature. To set it up, go to Settings>>Find My Phone. Make sure the slider is set to on.
