Top android settings to strengthen your phone security.

TOP ANDROID SETTINGS TO STRENGTHEN YOUR PHONE SECURITY APP PERMISSIONS • Android apps are never able to access your personal data or any part of your phone unless you explicitly give them the permission to do so. • You can go back and revisit all your app permissions to make sure everything's in good shape now.

Tap the line labeled Google Play Protect.

And it's up to you to enable and opt into it.
