Security Measures Every Android User Should Know 

Especially when they just kidnap you and have already taken your fingerprints, eventhough you didn't commit a crime.

You can temporarily disable biometrics by opening the power menu or clicking “lockdown” depending on the android model. It puts the phone in a locked state, similar to when it’s booting up. The same works (first method) on iPhone.

That's why I use Duck Duck Go

@@danielgartin-oh9ik You're kidding...right 😐

@@Mr.Mister96 no I'm not

Exactly, it's a security flaw, not a secondary factor, less secure, it's better kept disabled, biometrics provide better security and convenience

You need access to the cell towers to do an angulation.

Nah, there’s malware for feature phones too, cellular location snooping; the works.

@Watcher Twitter users in RU needs them and are happy.

Better to swap it for a Xiaomi device, they have the most custom roms for any device from any brand, pixel don't even come close

@@Carahato you misunderstand grapheneos, it seems secure and is to a large extent, but still there's people who have trouble with installing their apps on it

@@Carahato no, I mean you're misunderstanding the requirements of a lot of the users who flash custom ROM, I want security and privacy too, but there's a limit to how far I can go without google's interference until my financial transactions take a hit, I do not like to share my data with anyone as evil as google, but the ease of use with online payments is just a necessity at this point (even tho I can live without it, not others can). Grapheneos is a viable choice to those who have all this sorted out

@@Carahato that happens very often, in fact I get the notification, it even shows in RU-vid's notification history, but after clicking on it, the comment is removed, RU-vid getting retarded now

@@Carahato it's probably the algorithm of RU-vid, it's plenty powerful if you notice, it recommends stuff I just thought about a while back, and it's scary how frequently it happens. The same algorithm might apply everywhere else, like filtering comment section

Files can be recovered when they're are deleted using special software. In order to make a deleted file unrecoverable you'd need to overwrite it with another file or use special software to erase it. Bitdefender has a feature called "File Shredder" which makes files unrecoverable. You can still see the name of a file if it's recovered but the contents of it can no longer be read. For instance, if you delete a .PNG with File Shredder, recover it, it will be corrupted and a media player like Windows 10's default picture viewer can't display anything. If you want to overwrite your files just take a bunch of photos of darkness or some other non-personal thing.

Nope

Nothing is secure, unless it’s a Nokia 3310

Not even your microwave is secure

By default? Yes. Otherwise? No. You can literally transform an Android phone into a steel vault, but not an iPhone.
