  1. 1. Enable a strong lock screen passcode

    The lock screen protects everything else on the device.

  2. 2. Hide sensitive notification previews

    Previews on lock screen can expose account codes and personal messages.

  3. 3. Review camera, microphone, and location permissions

    These are high-sensitivity permissions and should only be granted when needed.

  4. 4. Disable auto-join for unknown Wi-Fi networks

    Unknown networks can increase privacy and account risk.

  5. 5. Check account two-step verification status

    Two-step verification helps prevent account takeover.
