Summary of the lesson:
This lesson taught us that our mobile phones are valuable and need to be protected. We learned that the easiest first step is to use a screen lock, whether with a password, a pattern, or a biometric feature like our fingerprint or face. We also learned to be careful about where we get our apps, sticking only to official stores and paying close attention to the permissions an app requests. Finally, we discovered helpful tools like “Find My Phone” to locate a lost device and the “Erase Everything” button as a last resort to protect our personal information.
