Even if you keep your smartphone safe in your pocket or purse, it is still at risk for picking up a virus or leaking data to thieves.

However, you can keep hackers from getting the upper hand by taking the following steps to secure your smartphone:
• Step 1
Lock your phone when you are not using it. Set a password and change it regularly to prevent others from guessing it. Lock patterns are an alternative if you have trouble remembering your password. Your phone may also have a facial-recognition lock feature. If this is on, the device unlocks only when the camera detects your face. Voice recognition is another option; with this turned on, your phone needs to hear your voice say a specific word or phrase to unlock.
