Battery DrainageIf your phone's battery is draining much faster than usual. Then it could be alarming. It could be because of some heavy apps running in the background, which you are unaware of.

• Uninstall all those unnecessary apps that you don't use. Keep only those apps on which your day-to-day activities are dependent.

• Put your phone on airplane mode every now and then. This disconnects all scammers for a while and terminates any illegal or unauthorised use on your phone from transferring any data.

• Reset passwords on your smartphone, especially for those critical apps like WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook where you share your personal images and documents.

• Update your phone's software and download some trustworthy antivirus apps. This will help you to track down and eliminate illegal access on your device.

• Avoid sharing any critical information, like your Aadhar and PAN cards, or any sort of banking details, on your smartphone for a while.

Lastly, always trust your gut feeling and never ignore the signs. Whether it's your phone being spied on or you being scammed. Always believe your instinct and avoid sharing any OTPs or passwords with anyone.
