Four apps to protect your smartphone
Your smartphone contains some really sensitive information and with data breaches becoming more and more common, it’s vital to be able to protect it.
Our smartphones have become mini computers that carry our messages, contacts, pictures, banking info, call logs and social media profiles.
Whether you’re surfing the net or using social media applications, your phone needs to be protected at all times from malicious hackers, viruses and junk. Nobody is safe from data breaches, leaks and sensitive private information landing in the wrong hands. Here are some apps that you can download to protect your data:
1. Security Master app
The Security Master app contains all the necessary features to keep your phone safe and healthy. The original CM Security upgraded to the Security Master – Antivirus, VPN, AppLock, Booster (by CM, Cheetah Mobile) and redefined the scope of phone security which protects not only your phone but also your privacy. Security Master introduced Intelligent Diagnosis detects your phone status, including Antivirus, Junk Clean, and Phone Booster (Battery Saver, and CPU Cooler) in time. With their upgraded Safeconnect VPN and proxy you can also unblock all your favourite websites whenever and wherever you want.
2. CCleaner
If you want to remove junk, reclaim space, monitor your system, browse safely, find apps that drain your battery among many other things, then CCleaner is for you. The app allows users to become a master of their own device with ultimate control over what happens on the phone. Optimise the usage of your phone by being able to speed up your phone and remove junk safely, clean application cache, download folders, browser history, clipboard content and more.
3. LastPass
Remembering all your passwords has become a skill unto itself. When you download LastPass (available on iOS and Android) you won’t have to try and remember everything. With just one password to login into the app, you can manage all your login details for other apps making a significant difference to your productivity and security. LastPass can safely store passwords, shopping profiles, sensitive personal data, and more.
4. Orbot (Android)
Orbort lets you browse websites on your Android device by tapping into the open source Tor network to make sure the 1s and 0s you’re sending and receiving are encrypted, anonymized and bounced around various locations worldwide. It overrides apps like Facebook and other browsers and allows you to configure Tor access on an app-by-app basis. This comes in handy if you trust some apps more than others.
