1. Enable a strong lock screen passcode
The lock screen protects everything else on the device.
2. Hide sensitive notification previews
Previews on lock screen can expose account codes and personal messages.
3. Review camera, microphone, and location permissions
These are high-sensitivity permissions and should only be granted when needed.
4. Disable auto-join for unknown Wi-Fi networks
Unknown networks can increase privacy and account risk.
5. Check account two-step verification status
Two-step verification helps prevent account takeover.
