Advanced Protection: How to Increase Your Privacy on Android

Today, our cell phones are used for more than making phone calls. Thanks to the popularity and increased affordability of smartphones, we can now use our phones to do almost anything: take and send photos, shop online, communicate through texting and video-chatting, play games, and more. That means that our phones now hold a lot of personal information about us. Your cellphone holds sensitive data that needs to be protected from hackers, intruders, malware and other security threats, especially if your phone is lost or stolen.

Advanced Protection and Other Features

That’s where, by providing its Advanced Protection feature, the app DFNDR comes in. This feature helps to prevent malicious people from breaking the DFNDR’s security system.
