2. USE UNIQUE

3. AVOID OPEN
Wi-Fi
A Wi-Fi hotspot without a password is an easy opportunity for hackers to
collect data traveling to or from your phone. You can ‘forget’ previously
used Wi-Fi hotspots in settings > wireless & networks > Wi-Fi.

4. SET A SCREEN LOCK
Set up a PIN, password, or pattern screen lock in the settings screen. Just
go to settings > personal > security > screen lock.

other contact info) on the lock screen. Just go to settings > security >
owner info and input the message you’d like to display.

phone call.
