Nice info. I need assistance on: * Data backup: Someone helped me in backing up my photos, videos and contacts on google drive. I find it difficult to see the restoring option, to restore them back on my phone now after losing my data due to phone fixing. I can't even see the photos, videos, contacts now except the music. Even the pictures on my google photos can't be restored to my gallery without accessing it without network. How do I go about this? * What is the best method to backup ones data. And of course easy restoring if need be. * What best antivirus do you recommend? * Vault-Hide SMS, videos & pics: how do I get this installed? * Message lock: How do I effect this? |

Your number one option is a lie. Using Antivirus on android affects it's performance thereby making it slow. Your number eight option though. Vaults could corrupt your files and make them inaccessible. A simple device lock is enough for all this headaches. Please always scrutinize post like this before you make it public. |

The moment you got yourself a smart phone or a PC the least thing you should worry about is being hacked, cuz truly... nothing is secure. if someone meant to hack you no matter how tough your security is... you'll definitely be hack. the important thing here is the backup, the rest na story. if you know how useless antivirus are you'll stop installing them in your gadgets. 1 Like |

The problem with passwords is that if there is an emergency and someone needs to contact your loved ones or in any case you misplace your phone, it becomes practically impossible for people to reach your loved ones. |
