How To Protect Your Phone From Hackers

[@BTSLover-dj2pg]

Thank you for this video. How does the scanning work - is it on device scanning ? Are the files and apps on the iOS device stored in your servers during scanning?

[@certosoftware]

Hey, thanks for your questions. The scanning varies by device: If you have an Android phone then it's on device scanning, just download the Certo app from the Play Store and you're good to go. For iPhone the scan is run via your computer over USB. Just download the Certo app to a Windows or Mac computer, plugin your iPhone and click Scan. Due to way Apple devices work, you need to run the scan from a computer in order to perform a deep scan. In both cases no data leaves your devices and all scanning is performed directly on your phone/computer.

How do I handle developer mode?

[@Malouri]

This could have been much more useful if the mentioned safety precautions were shown clearly step by step on the sample I-phone instead of mostly verbally going through them.

[@certosoftware]

Thanks for your feedback! For this video, we wanted to keep the information concise and universally applicable, since iPhone and Android steps can vary quite a bit. However, we have some upcoming videos planned that will dive into platform-specific tips for both iPhone and Android, complete with clear, step-by-step visuals. Stay tuned!

How can we protect it against 'the others'?

[@majeedshaik3060]

nowadays most app legit apps ask for unwanted permission so we have to give them. some dont even work without those unnecessary permission

[@certosoftware]

You’re absolutely right-many apps request permissions that don’t seem necessary for their core function, which can be frustrating and concerning. One tip is to review permissions after installation by going to Settings > Privacy & Security > App Privacy Report on your iPhone. This allows you to see what data each app accesses and adjust permissions accordingly. For apps that refuse to work without certain permissions, consider alternatives with a better privacy policy. Thanks for bringing this up; it’s an important point for anyone concerned about digital privacy!

Helpful tip! 👍

How do you turn off the keys lighting up everytime you press them? Its not safe at all. How do i shut that off?

[@synthwave7]

Nice tips - Phones are stolen and once the thief connects a cable to your phone, it is easy to get hold of amost data.

[@estiennetaylor1260]

It won't work on One UI 6.1. My Galaxy deny that access.

[@certosoftware]

Thanks for the comment! If you’re using a modern device with a strong passcode, your data is actually quite secure if it gets stolen. Most newer phones have built-in encryption that protects your information, even if someone connects a cable to it.

[@Jerry-o3p]

​@@certosoftwareUsing information. Absolutely 💯👍 important. Always update those apps updates constantly.

[@Jerry-o3p]

​@@estiennetaylor1260Wow. I didn't know that.

[@Ram84_1]

I set my phone to restart 4am daily.

[@certosoftware]

That’s a smart move! A daily restart can stop certain types of malware from running persistently in the background as well as clear out temporary files and refresh your phone’s memory. It’s a simple step that can contribute to overall performance and security.

Sir what about while typing the password? Can they not see your google keyboard while touching the alphabets? Thank you

[@certosoftware]

If a keylogger is installed on your phone then yes, they will be able to see the things you type into your keyboard. If you suspect a keylogger, then I wouldn't recommend entering any passwords on your phone and use a different secure device to change your passwords until the keylogger has been removed from your phone. Certo's free apps for iPhone and Android can help find and remove keyloggers.

[@Jerry-o3p]

So long as it's encrypted,no hacker can easily read them. Using a VPN aren't anonymous.

[@Jerry-o3p]

​@@certosoftwareAbsolutely 💯👍.

[@yamil.343]

How do you disable developer mode? You should’ve explained it.

[@certosoftware]

Thanks for watching! To disable, go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Developer Mode, then toggle it off. Hope that helps.

[@Heraldoffreedom]

Developer mode is usually off by default.

[@adamkeith11]

​@@Heraldoffreedom It hosts some useful features though

[@DDRR-s1i]

But doesn't it give hackers the ability to control and change anything on your phone?​@@adamkeith11

[@Heraldoffreedom]

@adamkeith11 I agree, most definitely. I appreciated the reminder of this video of the security risks involved with using them, too.
