Security for Samsung S6

Anonymous
Not applicable
Hi everyone. The online gurus aren't available so I wondered what people's advice is for extra security on the S6? I've had some pop ups when online stating I don't have active security on my phone and I'm not sure what's the right one to look for. What do other people use?

Thanks!

I use Lookout on all my devices. It traces if lost/stolen and most importantly it can wipe all sensitive information. Best of all its free!

Always best to go for the free ones, as long as they're aren't to many pop-up ads.

I don't get any pop ups in fairness.


You wouldn't tolerate them I feel, I tend to dump apps that do it.:smileyhappy:

I expect many others including me have too, as I said what works for one doesn't always work for others.

Nothing wrong with some personal choice, no one app is perfect.
