Hey Hexbear

Like to think I do an ok job keeping my desktop setup secure, but realized recently I don’t do the same for my mobile devices.

Does anyone have any good tips how to help keep your phone more private and secure?

I have both an android and iPhone, and realize androids are superior to that sort of customization. Thought it might be useful tho if anyone had any tips for either though.

    On iOS: run through the security checkup, set up dns over tls and connect to an always on vpn that’s trustworthy for your needs (mullvad?). Turn on lockdown mode and never turn it off. Switch to at least a six digit passcode and disable biometrics. Set the attempt limit to on. Turn on advance data protection in your iCloud account.

    Audit all email accounts or account names and metadata like credit cards that they might have associated with them. Use a password manager like last pass and change everything to unique long random strings. Use different emails for each account. No not aliases through one service, different emails.
