Advanced Plus Security Morro Mobile Security Config 2022

[Morro]

First time making a Mobile Security thread, so be gentle, despite my setting in "Feedback Response"? Last time I had a Cellphone I owned a Samsung flip phone with a integrated antenna.

So now since I own a Smartphone since last Friday, I will need to learn a lot I guess. I hope I already made a decent start for a Smartphone Noob!?

Hi, I would try out Bitdefender Mobile Security, it cost about 10USD, it is very good, brilliant IMHO.
Thanks for sharing, nice Configuration.

Thank you Harlan4096, I will definitely the back up Phone link. And yeah I use chrome, but I do not believe that I have installed any browser apps so far into Chrome?

@Gandalf_The_Grey

Thank you for the links as well, as with Harlan4096, I will definitely use the links.

@simbatippe1234

Thank you, but it still needs some work so hopefully the links from Harlan4096 and Gandalf_The_Grey will help with that.

Just made sure that the Mobile Security config is set correctly here on the forums, thanks for the link. And thank you I will enjoy the Smartphone.

* Backup phone is already active, seems to make a auto backup every two hours of in-activity to Google One?
* Installed 2FA Authenticator.
* Can not seem to find "Samsung Phone" app?
* Removed AVG Anti Virus Mobile and AVG Cleaner and now use Device Care and the already present McAffee.

Yes, backup is already active
Wich 2FA Authenticator did you choose?
The Samsung Phone is called "Telefoon" (assuming your phone is setup in Dutch).

I picked this one...

2FA Authenticator (2FAS) - Apps on Google Play

Simple, safe and open source 2FA Authenticator app!

play.google.com

As for the Samsung Phone... Doh, I thought it was an app, thanks .

EDIT: Activated Caller ID and Spam protection. ( Never thought to look for it there. )

For me Caller ID and Spam protection is greyed out / not available, maybe dependent on the mobile operator?

It could be, I found it in the phone settings and I could activate it?

 

[simbatippe1234]

Hi, have you tried the app 180.

 

[Morro]

* Removed Adguard Mobile: It kept deactivating NextDNS some how. Besides I have NextDNS set to block ads anyway.
* Started using Brave as my main browser instead of chrome.

Updated several things like the Phone OS, and a few other things like the new required fields.
