Protect your device by using the available security features such as pin, password, screen lock or encryption.

Answer 1

To stay safe while using your mobile device, you should select the following options:

1. Only download apps from legitimate sources, for example Apple’s App Store or Google Play Store.

2. Protect your device by using the available security features such as pin, password, screen lock or encryption.

3. Keep all device software up to date and back up your device regularly.

4. Set up your device in such a way that you can track, wipe or lock it when lost or stolen.

While using a screen protector and decent cover can help protect the device physically, it does not specifically address the security risks and threats related to software and data protection. Therefore, the first four options are the more relevant choices for ensuring the security of your mobile device.
