Secure your mobile contacts

 

Hi ,

One day i received call from unknown number.  Arun sir had called me from his friend's mobile.  He told me that his mobile has been stolen.

"I am not scared for mobile but contacts.  I had all VIP contacts stored on my mobile". 

"Did you sync your contacts with gmail?", Me

"Not sure yaar", he was little upset.

After few days we found his mobile but we were not able to recover his contacts.   In the new mobile, i  showed him how and where to do that setting.   But the damage done was not recoverable.

Many time while scrolling facebook news feed i find one message, "I have lost my mobile and all my mobile numbers.  Please post your numbers in comment box".  Nowadays many people are using android phones.  This article will help you to secure your contacts so that even if you lose your phone you can get all your contacts back.

As all of you know, when we initially configure our Android phone we configure it with Gmail account.  If you want to check which account you have configured, You can open playstore in mobile and click on three horizontal lines on tope left corner (Check Image 1).  Maybe your friend or known person might have helped you to configure your account but you should have password of that email.

Now if you want to secure your account please follow these steps.

1. Go to your mobile settings (image 2)

2. Check for Account Management or Accounts menu (image 3)

3.  As you can see in Image 4, check for similar google logo.

4. You will find gmail account which is configured with your mobile (This can be more than one).  Click on it (Image 5)

5.  You will find contact option, turn it on. (Image 6).

After this setting, even if you lose your mobile or you plan to change it, you can restore all your contacts easily by configuring same account in new mobile.

Enjoy !!!

Restrict mobile games from children

Hi,

We are often troubled that our children's download and play games on mobile.  Many a time those games are not suitable for their age because of inappropriate contents which could be violent or sexual.  "Blue whale" game is one of that parts. You can restrict the download of such games to your mobile and the settings are really easy.

You can do following settings if you have the Android mobile.

1. Open play store. Click on three horizontal lines on the left side of screen and click on settings

2. Click on Parental Control option under User Control section

3. It will allow you to turn on the Parental Control.  You may need to add Pin to add security for your setting.  You should choose Pin which you can remember easily but your children should not.

4. After setting Pin it will give you section of Content Restriction in which you may find Apps & Games.  It will ask you Pin to verify your authenticity.

5. Here you need to select an option above what age your children can play the game. (Every app and game on Android Play store has Age Ratings which suggests that app or game is suitable for what age range)

Eg, If you select 3+ then you will only get games or apps which are suitable for age upto 3.  If you select 7+ then you will get games and apps which are suitable for below 7 years.  You may choose your option.


6.  Click on Save.

After this setting, your children may able to search games which are suitable for his age range.

Note: This setting will not work for pre-installed games.
