feel insecure? have private stuff in your phone? here the solution

Before we get in to the subject of encrypting mobile devices, There is something that you need to know.

Why should you encrypt data?

When data is encrypted, it turns into a seemingly random collection of characters, unless of course you have the decryption key! That means your privacy and your important data is safe.

Follow the steps below for encrypting your devices. Once complete, you will only need to enter a password when turning on or waking up your device to automatically decrypt your data.
