What to Do if You’re Worried About Your Phone Being Stolen

As hard as we try, phones can sometimes escape our possession. This is often a dangerous situation to be in, for your personal information is at risk — there are photos, texts, files, and etc. that are at risk of being exploited in unfortunate ways. Luckily, the following security measures will protect not just your photos and sensitive data, but your pride as well.

Have a Private Gallery

DFNDR’s Private gallery takes photos from your Android camera bank or Whatsapp photo log and relocates them to a secure location. The Private Gallery blocks photos from anyone’s view, except for the device owner. This ensures that, no matter where the mobile device ends up, it is completely protected from prying eyes.

If the time comes for those photos to resurface, select said photos and tap the top right corner of each one to send them back to their respective apps or locations. This action also needs to be taken if you ever want to delete the gallery as well, because any photos left in the gallery will be lost. Private Gallery is also password-protected for optimal security.

Anti-Theft

This is an important feature to take advantage of in the event that your phone is stolen or lost. Protecting everything — personal photos, information, and data — on your device is another precaution that will pay off no matter what happens. With this feature you can remotely lock, track, block, and erase all of your data if it should fall into malicious hands. You can also sound an alarm remotely, so that you can locate your phone if you are nearby. Click here to activate Anti-Theft on your device now:
