First find out who’s involved with your phone service, that may tell you something about who’s hacking into your phone!

If you were in dc on the 6th of Jan. your phone is potentially being investigated. Doesn't matter if you were there visiting a friend, dining or shopping. Everything you do on your phone can be tracked by the govern. There is no privacy with a phone.

One of the settings on the phono is "Location" if it's turned on the phone knows where you've been. That's how it knows he was in The Villages. He can turn it off, but if he drives his car in a ditch no one can find him. My Android phone is run by Google, Google knows everywhere I go. I don't really care, I use ad blockers, and ignore ads that get through.

bluemail for phones
if you download blumail - it aggregates your various email accounts onto one page. GMail itself has a great spam filter as does bluemail ...
if its texts - hit spam each time.... also try searching for restaurants in your town a few times to reset google search. |

The top two options, Location Services - turning it off will stop providing your location to all Apps including photos. If you want to continue to tag "Photos", leave it on, and turn off any apps you don't trust listed below the two options. Tracking. Selecting this option will deny all "new" apps from tracking, but sadly if you have already approved any, you will have to turn those off individually in the list below the option. |

Another one is for personal friends and family. And so on and so forth. I have a spam-blocker, an ad blocker, I run ccleaner and malwarebytes on my desktop every so often, and I have a little .exe file on my hard drive that I keep just in case none of my security measures worked and someone sent me a particularly nasty trojan that sometimes slips through random peoples' computers. That file will meet the trojan and basically smack it upside the head. I also use FBP, aka "Fluff Busting Purity," an extension for Facebook that prevents ads and lets you filter out (or in) and sort and configure just about anything Facebook can do, and several things it can't do, but you'd want it to do. The only ads I ever see, are ads I intentionally try to see. They don't appear on my computer at all, otherwise. I get ads on a few apps on my phone (Waze has in-app ads) but they're unobtrusive and easily ignored. |

I am a little surprised a younger person doesn’t know their phone better, to turn off tracking, add app to avoid issues. Really don’t need a IT guy, most grandchildren can fix a phone in minutes
