About security
Screen lock options
To keep your phone secure, use a screen lock when it goes to sleep:
•
Set up a pattern, PIN, or password to unlock your phone.
•
Add a Smart Lock to unlock automatically when connected to a trusted device, when you're at a trusted
place (like home or work), with facial recognition, or until you set your phone down.
•
You can access notifications and quick settings, start a call, and open the camera from the lock screen.
•
You can make emergency calls on a locked phone. A locked phone still rings; you don't need to unlock it
to answer.
•
If you forgot your pattern, PIN, or password, follow these steps.
You can customize the lock screen by adding your contact info. You can also control which notifications
appear on your lock screen.

Connect to a virtual private network if you need to access files on a secure network.
•
See when apps are using your microphone and camera and block them if needed.
•
Add a SIM lock to prevent others from using your cellular plan and accessing account information if
your phone is stolen.

Prevent viruses and other attacks on your data and privacy with Google Play Protect.
Protect against harmful apps
Scan phone for harmful apps
Play Protect helps keep your phone secure by automatically scanning your apps, including sideloaded apps,
to check for potentially harmful apps (malware).
If Play Protect finds a potentially harmful app, it stops the app from running and warns you so that you can
uninstall it.
To see the results or to rescan:
1. Open the Play Store app.
2.
Touch your profile icon > Play Protect.
3. Review the results of the latest scan, or touch Scan.
Play Protect is on by default.
To learn more, read Google's help.
