In this fast-passed world phones have become an essential part of our everyday lives.
But sometimes we dont take care of them as well l as we should.
There are actually a lot of things we straight out shouldn’t be doing with our phones and
that what were going to be talking about today.
Hey youtube im Court McGinley and welcome back to the most amazing top 5.
You guys loved part one so much that we are bringing you a part 2.
Before we get started I want to know- how many phones have you gone through in your
lifetime- I think for me its been like 5 or 6- I had one flip phone- 2 black berries and
2 or 3 iPhones.
But one good thing is I never lost a phone they just stopped working.
Let me know your answers down in those comments.
Also I just want you to subscribe to this channel if you havnt already and make sure
you show us some love by giving this video a big thumbs up.
Alright lets get started on our list of the top 5 things you should stop doing with your
phone part 2.
Starting off at our number 5 spot --Procrastinating on updating- yeah im one of those.
For some reason I just really hate updating my phone.
The update notices are always popping up when im busy doing something else.
But it turns out its extremely important you don’t procrastinate on this as OS updates
are an important factor in keeping your phone running smoothly.
It only takes a few minutes for the New OS to download.
The longer you wait to update it your phone will be vulnerable to malware or other security
breaches.
In at number 4--Running it down- are you one of those people who needs to charge your phone
every night because you’ve been on it all day and now its down to 1% ? well if you are
then you need to get out of that habit of running your phone down on a daily basis.
There are a lot of ways you are killing your battery that youre probably unaware of.
The way you can check out whats responsible for using up most of your battery is by going
to your phones battery button under settings.
Youll probably be surprised at what applications are using up all youre battery.
One sure fire way to save battery is by dimming your screen.
Its important just to do the little things you can to save that battery.
At number 3--Using cheap chargers- The chargers that come with our phones are tested by experts
and they are the best at optimizing your phones charge perfectly without damaging the battery.
The cheap chargers on the other hand may cause severe problems.
Experts say- A poor design can suffer severe problems.
If the output voltage is not filtered well there will be noise and spikes due to the
high frequency switching.
At extreme levels this could damage your phone.
So even if something happens to the original charger or you loose it – it seems like
the best choice to cough up the extra money to buy the store brands charger opposed to
a 5 dollar one.
Coming in at our number 2 spot--Random connections- one thing a lot of us do that we shouldn’t
is connecting to random wifi spots- such as coffee shops- libraries- basically anywhere
that offers public internet.
Most places offer password protected wifi- and those are ok to use.
But you should never login to a place that doesn’t require a password.
Hackers can pretty much watch what youre doing online if they have access to an unencrypted
WiFi source.
As soon as youre on unencrypted wifi youre personal information is at risk.
And in at number 1--Using Geotags- Now while geo tags are a lot of fun- you can show your
friends and family where you are and they can share in on the fun.
They can also be very dangerous to your personal safety.
By using geotags some of your apps might fall into geotag default mode- allowing anyone
to figure out where you are.
So if youre a fan of geo-tags you should rethink them as you never know who could be watching.
Sometimes I post my location but I always make sure its when im close to leaving or
ive left- especially if its in a more secluded location.
Cyber criminals are known for exploiting geotags and they research the best time to strike.
So just make sure yourve very careful.
And there you have it that’s out list of the top 5 things you should stop doing with
your phone part 2.
Thank you guys so much for watching and ill catch you in the next one.
