Every smartphone owner can easily protect their personal data.

It turns out that all you need to do is press one button on your mobile phone.

This will ultimately achieve a double result. First, no one will be able to gain remote access to the device.

Secondly, the battery will charge much more slowly.

It's simple: after finishing each Internet session, pull down the notification shade and click on the circle with "Wi-Fi" written under it.

In other words, make sure that your mobile phone does not search for Wi-Fi networks when you are not using the Internet.

The dangers of constantly searching for Wi-Fi networks

There are two negative consequences. First, the smartphone can connect to a fraudulent network. Especially if you are in a public place.

The result will be that attackers will gain access to your personal data.

The second undesirable consequence: the mobile phone, constantly searching for Wi-Fi networks, experiences a serious load. As a result, the battery is discharged very quickly.
