How to save your Android device
1. First update the phone with the latest security patch. Make sure your device is updated. Recently a security patch was released on January 5, 2025.
2. Put your phone on automatic update so that your phone keeps updating automatically.
3. Do not click on any unknown link. This can be risky. Scammers can take control of your phone through the link.
Why is it important to update the phone
Software update, in a way, works like the immunity of your mobile. Just as your immunity protects your body from diseases, similarly software updates keep your phone secure. Updates not only fix vulnerabilities but also improve the performance of the device. If you delay updates, you leave your device open to hackers. Hackers take advantage of these flaws to steal sensitive information.
