You will come across various options and on a list of things that your mobile phone will ask for your permission. When you build up on a particular permission, you will see how the app will regulate its entry and take your permission before using it.

Safe Browsing

Most of the people use Chrome as default Android browser. Although it is safe but sometimes you attempt to open a shady website or obtain anything harmful and it can damage your gadget altogether. Although Chrome has a safe browsing mode that is enabled by default, a more recent update has been introduced which is known as enhanced safe browsing. This feature allows you to be safer than you already are while using this browser. The phone repair will warn you if the website you are trying to open is shady or there is any malware present that can affect your gadget if you activate this safe browsing mode.

Android phones have this feature of showing or revealing notifications on lock displays by default. This displays the content of emails or any messages you receive even if the phone is locked. If you do not like this and try to keep your messages away from people you always have the option to hide the content that is displayed on your lock screen.

Androids also have this smart log characteristic that is specially designed to make the security much less annoying. This feature allows you to keep your cell phone unlocked when you are in a trusted place like your home, your workplace or restaurant where you are eating peacefully and would not want to open the phone again and again.

However, with the passage of time it has been introduced in the mobile phone so that any delicate kind of data can be protected with the help of it. If you have your Google account connected with the apps, you have to go to the cell phones system settings and go into managing your Google account.
