How Can I Prevent Spyware on My Android Device?

The best approach is to stop attacks before they even start. With these tips, you’ll significantly reduce the risk of spyware and other threats:

Install Apps Only from Trusted Sources: Ideally, stick to the official Google Play Store and pay attention to reviews and app permissions.
Review Permissions: Only grant the access rights that are absolutely necessary. For instance, be wary of camera or microphone permissions if they’re not relevant to the app’s purpose.
Regular Updates: Keep your Android system and apps up to date. Security patches often close vulnerabilities that spyware exploits.
Avoid Unknown Links: Phishing emails, suspicious SMS messages, and compromised websites are common gateways for malware. Always check whether a link seems legitimate.
