Mobile Devices
When it comes to your most-used devices, like your smart phone, tablet, or laptop, Lopez explains that you should start with disabling the tracking capabilities. To turn this off, he says to go to your settings, privacy, then the tracking setting to turn off any apps that could be taking data. You may be surprised to find you have some turned on already! the tech expert says, also noting that some social media apps track users at times. To directly prevent the apps on your electronics from listening to you, he says to go to settings, then privacy, and microphone. Do keep in mind that some apps, like Amazon Alexa, Shazam, or WhatsApp will need to listen to you for them to work, shares Lopez. Lastly, turn off any watching functions by going to settings, privacy, and camera. Again, you need to have some apps watch for them to work well, shares Lopez, like Zoom or your doorbell.
