Three Popular Safety Apps for Android Users

Author: Soumen

Safety is a major concern for your Smartphone. First of all you store loads of very important data in it, and you definitely don't want the data to fall in the hands of a wrong person. Secondly, why to invest your hard earned bucks on replacing your phone. Moreover, replacing the phone means you have to re-enter all your data into the new phone wasting your time & energy. Here we will talk about the top three apps to keep your phone safe.Your Android Phone Store

Lookout

This app has a number of security features; e.g. anti-virus, a firewall, and intrusion prevention. This does not bog down the phone. Lookout out helps you if the phone is lost or stolen too. You can simply log into the web interface from any computer and track it down. You just have to click the 'locate' button and it will spot the location of your phone on a map. Moreover, it can also get a backup of all your personal data, including contacts, e-mail, photos, video, and text messages.

WaveSecure

It's another great security app for your Android phone. It resembles Lookout. WaveSecure can also locate the phone on a map and allow you to take the back of data using web logging in. You can lock the phone too and can set message and alarms. The unique feature of WebSecure is that you can remotely wipe out all the data after taking a back up, from your phone to prevent the misuse.

Protector

Protector is quite different from the previous 2 apps. Protector allows you to protect any app or any feature in your android phone with password. It allows you to protect your SMS, Gmail, e-mail, the settings of the handset, Photos, Calendar, Notepad, Chat.

The beauty of this Android security app is that you can even protect just a particular feature of the app if you want to. The apps won't damage. Even if you use a task manager, it won't disturb the protection of the apps. If you wish to uninstall the Protector app, you just need the pin code to do so. But there is no pin recovery system. So if you forget your pin you will land up into a mess.

The safety of the Smartphone is a big concern. Android application developers have come a long way to offer safety apps to its users.
