The information contained in these photos can be used by criminals to impersonate your identity or perform other illegal acts. So, once you decide to save these photos, be sure to take practical steps to encrypt or store them in a safe place.

These photos may be used by criminals to carry out malicious acts such as theft and extortion, bringing you great property and moral damage. Therefore, when taking these photos, pay attention to cover up personal privacy information, and avoid posting and sharing these photos publicly as much as possible.

Photos taken with a selfie stick or other devices can easily contain content that we don't want others to see, such as private chats, private information, etc. If these photos fall into the wrong hands, it will bring us a huge risk of privacy leakage. Therefore, when taking photos with selfie devices, pay attention to the surrounding environment and avoid letting others pry into your privacy.
Finally, it's important to note photos that contain nudity, pornography, or violence. These photos may not only arouse the curiosity of others, but may also be used by criminals such as pornography, violence and other illegal activities such as extortion. Therefore, it is very dangerous to save these photos on the mobile phone, once found, delete them as soon as possible, and strictly comply with national laws and regulations to avoid violating relevant laws.
So, how to protect the photos on your phone from being "targeted"? First of all, we need to strengthen the awareness and protection awareness of mobile phone privacy security, and pay attention to the protection of sensitive content such as personal information and privacy. Secondly, we need to strengthen the protection of mobile phone passwords, set complex password or fingerprint locks, and change passwords in time to avoid personal information leakage. In addition, we can also use encryption software, cloud storage, etc., to encrypt and back up the photos on our mobile. Finally, if you find that the photos on your mobile phone have been stolen, you should contact and report the case with the relevant departments as soon as possible to protect your rights and privacy security.
