Lock up your phone

Lock up your phone

You’re walking through a lane, listening to your favorite Coldplay song on your phone, reminiscing the beautiful moments lived, and you trip upon a rock.

Your phone falls from your hand and breaks. Your heart might skip a beat or two. What else?

Now imagine if you lost your phone! And worse yet, someone else found it and now has access to everything in it because you did not put a password or screen lock on your device.! Yikes.

Sounds awful! It indeed is.

We spend most of the time on our phone because everything related to our lives is in this little piece of technology; our photos, bank card details, Amazon shopping, emails, many personal files, and whatnot. You just wouldn’t want your phone falling into the wrong hands. Even if it does by chance, make sure that he/she is not going to break into your phone.

So how do you make sure of this?

First, protect your phone with a password. It is as simple as it sounds. You can also add newer features like fingerprint locks and retina scanners which have further enhanced the protection.

It is quite shocking that many people still don’t put a password on their phones. Let’s not wait for the day somebody steals your data, and instead take all the necessary measures to safeguard it.

Take 2 minutes to put a locking mechanism on your phone. you will be happy you did.

Do people REALLY not lock their phones? Wow. I had no idea. My iPhone automatically locks after 30 seconds. But more than that, when I’m finished using it, I lock it manually. I don’t know anyone who doesn’t lock their phones but you wrote an article about it so I guess this is a thing. So dangerous.
