Our mobile phones have become an essential element to carry out our daily tasks. The most basic tasks that we could perform at the beginning such as making calls or writing messages have practically gone to the background. Making videos and photos has also become one of the first aspects to consider when we buy a phone in addition to all the applications that we can download in them to perform different actions..
All these factors together make our mobile phone accumulate a large amount of information that is personal and private and that will need to be protected in different ways. One of them can be to make a backup of the device, since if in an extreme case we had to do a hard reset of the same we would not lose data that we need.
Another one of them and which we are going to talk about today is to establish a code for the screen unlock. In the phones apart from having the PIN code, we can usually set a screen unlock so that nobody accesses the content of our phone in the form of a Pattern, Pin or Password, and that is exactly what we will explain today how to set or change in our terminal to protect it using as reference the Android LG G7 mobile.
