Take control: How to update privacy on all apps
Have you ever talked to your friends about a very specific product and then found it advertised a few hours later on one of the social media apps? Not only you.
In the US, BDG Studios and OnePoll surveyed 1,000 GenZs to learn about how they deal with privacy and security issues on their phones. Samsung found that 69% of survey respondents think private or personal conversations are being eavesdropped through their devices.
No matter where you go, it seems that your data is always exposed. Fortunately, there are several ways to keep your information secure and still enjoy every second of surfing.
First, if you’re worried someone is eavesdropping when you’re chatting, make sure you’ve adjusted camera and voice mic access in your phone’s settings.

Check out the Manage Permissions section, which lets you see which apps can access your data. What’s more, you can easily update your settings so you have clear control over what’s shared in apps.
Finally, make sure to update your password regularly and don’t use personal information. In the survey, almost half of the respondents used personal life details (like birthdays) in their passwords.
More alarmingly, 40% say they use one password for multiple accounts. If you feel it’s time to take back control of your data and security, you’re in luck. With Samsung Security & Privacy, you’re in control of exactly who and when can access your data.
