After many years of domination of the college entrance examination, I finally survived until the holiday. Don't have a good time. But you can't be too arrogant, there is too much privacy in the mobile phone, everyone should pay attention to privacy protection when playing the machine. Taking advantage of the holiday, Xiaobian will give you Amway a look at the privacy protection function in ColorOS 13.1 to help everyone play more securely, and interested partners will continue to look down!
I. Automatic Coding
Most friends will share screenshots in the chat scene, but how many people will crop and blur their avatars and nicknames for security reasons before screenshot sharing? I'm afraid it's also for convenience (or not having this aspect of security), so many people don't care about this. As everyone knows, if it is seen by "people with intentions" and used to use it, the consequences are also unpredictable.
Therefore, in ColorOS 13.1, the "automatic coding" function has been newly added, when we take screenshots of some social software, we can quickly perform automatic fuzzy coding processing on the avatar and nickname in the screenshot, and then share it safely with everyone to avoid the outflow of some sensitive information, just in case.
How to do automatic coding: Click the thumbnail (or enter the album to select the image to edit) after taking a screenshot> > select the mosaic style and click "Code Now"
II. Secure Sharing of Photos
Is it clear to everyone that the photos shared may also contain personal information? Yes, holidays are always inevitable, and the photos taken will really contain our personal information. For example, the time and place where the photo was taken, the model of the device (focal length, aperture, ISO), and so on.
With this series of information in the photo, do you still feel safe? Therefore, in order to improve the security awareness of all of us, share photos as much as possible without sending the original picture, you can also use the "photo security sharing" function of ColorOS 13.1, which can remove personal sensitive information when sharing photos without damaging the quality of photos and retaining the original data, and solve the problem of privacy leakage from the source, so that sharing can be more assured!
How to share safely: Go to the album> select the photo, click "Send" in the lower left corner> click "Send Options" just above it> check the erase location information and shooting data, click "Done"> then you can share it as you like
III. Privacy Photos
More or less we have photos on our phones that we don't want others to see (or don't want to be read by apps). It is precisely considering that everyone has such needs, ColorOS has long developed the "private safe" function for us, the pictures stored in the safe will not be seen by others by mistake opening the album, nor will they be read by the application, it can be said that the photos stored in it are very safe.
How to hide photos: Go to the album> select the picture> select the "Hide" button below to save the photo to the Safe
How to access the Private Safe: To access an album> press and hold one of the navigation bar icons (Photos, Collections, and Discover) below > enter your password
IV. App Concealment
If so, can I move the app off the desktop? After all, there are so many things in the mobile phone that people don't want to see, wouldn't it be embarrassing to lend it out and be seen? Then try the "app hiding" feature of ColorOS 13.1!
After using this feature, the app will not be displayed on the desktop, and we need a specific method to access the hidden app. People who don't understand will definitely think that your phone doesn't have this app, so you can safely lend your phone out for a while!
Of course, if you are afraid that the hidden application will pop up a notification, we also need to click the "Settings" button in the upper right corner of the "App Hide" interface and turn on "Hidden apps do not receive notifications"
How to hide apps: Open Settings> Permissions & Privacy > toggle the privacy column> click "App Hide"> select apps to turn on hiding and set the access number
How to open hidden apps: Enter the dialing screen > enter the access number (#0000# by default) > to open hidden apps
V. Find your phone without a network
I don't know if everyone usually has the habit of losing wood, maybe one day the mobile phone is lost can not be detected at the first time, what can be done? In order to help everyone take precautions, Xiaobian strongly recommends that you turn on the "Find Your Phone" function, if you lose your phone, there is still a chance to rely on it to find your love phone.
If the mobile phone is connected to the network, on the device we can first locate the mobile phone remotely to find, and then mark the mobile phone as lost at the first time, at this time the mobile phone will be locked, and leave contact information on the mobile phone lock screen, and will turn on the power saving mode, turn off USB debugging, NFC, intercept shutdown and voice assistant. When you reach the lost place, you can make your phone ring and flashing for easy finding.
There may be friends who will ask, what if the mobile phone does not have a network? Considering this problem, in ColorOS 13.1, a new network search phone function has been added, which supports finding the mobile phone through Bluetooth and nearby device location when the device is offline, which is definitely a boon for friends who are often lost.
How to turn on Find Phone: Settings> Click on the avatar > Find> Turn on "Find My Phone", "Send Last Location" and "Find Network" (this function can be used to locate your phone offline, be sure to turn on)
How to find your phone: Same as above: On the "Search" page> click "Find all devices"> click the lost device> do as needed.
The above is about some of the privacy protection features of ColorOS 13.1, you have the opportunity to apply what you have learned, so as to better protect your privacy!
