it's always a good idea to keep your
personal data safe the easiest way to do
this is with encryption and it all
starts with your smartphone to encrypt
an iPhone or an iPad all you have to do
is add a passcode head to settings
select touch ID and passcode tap turn
passcode on and enter a strong code it's
a little more complicated for Android
devices
Google's Nexus devices and other phones
that ship with Android 6.0 marshmallow
like the new Galaxy s7 come with
encryption enabled by default on stock
Android head to settings click security
followed by screen lock and create a
code but for most older devices you will
need to manually encrypt it make sure
the phone is plugged in since it could
take up to an hour depending on the
amount of data on your device now once a
passcode has been created head to
settings select security click on
encrypt phone and follow the steps
encrypting your phone may seem like a
no-brainer but if you have a low-end
device like the moto G or an older phone
your device could take a performance hit
after you encrypt it and the only way to
rollback encryption is to wipe the
device completely so I recommend only
doing it with recent high-end devices
such as the galaxy s6 LG g4 HTC One em
10 and their newer models the method is
a little different depending on your
device so for more information be sure
