Password Protectors

Because your smartphone is a common place to hide the passwords to your most personal accounts, there are many apps that allow you to safely protect these passwords even if you phone has been stolen. Each mobile platform offers different password protector apps, some better than others, but it is easy to do so when you read reviews of each application.

Personal Information Protectors

Our phones are also homes to some of our personal photos, videos and even addresses that we don’t want a stranger, or even someone we don’t trust, having access to. For that reason there are plenty of mobile apps that serve to hide your most private phone information from prying eyes, including the Android app NQ Mobile Vault. With the help of apps such as this one, you can feel confident letting someone borrow your phone or losing it, knowing that your private items are private!

All-Around Security Suites

Just as your desktop computer has a firewall and anti-virus software installed on it, you can actually use an app to do the same for your phone. For instance, Bitdefender, the same maker of the desktop security software, offers an app that is free to download (unless you want the premium version) and can help secure your phone from third-party prying eyes, has an anti-theft feature and more. This isn’t the only security app that can be downloaded, you just have to find a reliable one for your phone platform and check out the reviews!

Keep in mind that your mobile device can speak wonders about your personal life, and in the wrong hands it can easily become a headache and nightmare for you. By downloading a quality app that has been dedicated solely to your protection, you can feel a little more secure with your technology and what you use it for.
