Every smartphone owner can easily protect their personal data.

It turns out that all you need to do is press one button on your mobile phone.

This will ultimately achieve a double result. First, no one will be able to gain remote access to the device.

Secondly, the battery will charge much more slowly.

Which button to press to protect your mobile phone

We are talking about a virtual button that turns on and off the search for Wi-Fi networks.

It's simple: after finishing each Internet session, pull down the notification shade and click on the circle with "Wi-Fi" written under it.

In other words, make sure that your mobile phone does not search for Wi-Fi networks when you are not using the Internet.

The dangers of constantly searching for Wi-Fi networks

There are two negative consequences. First, the smartphone can connect to a fraudulent network. Especially if you are in a public place.

The result will be that attackers will gain access to your personal data.

The second undesirable consequence: the mobile phone, constantly searching for Wi-Fi networks, experiences a serious load. As a result, the battery is discharged very quickly.
