Our smartphones have become extensions of ourselves, but how many times have we passed them on to others? Whether it’s distracting a child, sharing a happy moment with a friend, or sending them for assistance, our devices often end up in different hands. This can lead to potential exposure of our personal data. However, with Samsung Galaxy security and privacy features – such as Add Application, Maintenance Mode and Personal Area – we can prevent prying eyes.
Samsung Galaxy privacy features
Add Application
Handing over your phone to show off a photo can become a source of anxiety if the other person starts browsing other apps, exposing private content. Add Application acts as a digital gatekeeper, limiting access to only the app shown and blocking notifications that could reveal sensitive information. Enabling this feature is a simple process:
Go up Settings. Select Security and Privacy. Scroll to Other Security Settings. Activate Add Application or explore additional options. For extra security, set the “Ask for PIN before unlocking” option. Open the app you want to block, use the Recent button or gestures, then select “Add application”.
Maintenance Mode
When your smartphone needs repairs, the Samsung Maintenance Mode becomes your digital shield. This feature creates a separate user profile, hiding your personal data from repair technicians. Activating it is simple:
Go up Settings. Select Device Assistance. Activate Maintenance Mode o usa l’app Samsung Members.
With Maintenance Mode, photos, videos, contacts and messages are safe, and essential functions remain accessible for device diagnosis.
Personal Area
The Personal Area of Samsung Knox is a real digital fort, separating and protecting sensitive data from your phone’s standard memory. To set up this private fortress:
Find the folder Personal Area between apps. Set a lock method with PIN, pattern or password. Add fingerprint login for an extra layer of security.
Everything created or moved in the Personal Area remains encrypted and invisible to the outside. For example, to save a copy of your driving license safely, use the Camera app within the Personal Area or move an existing photo from the Gallery.
