Government phone guidance
Advice provided by the government on how students can keep their phones, personal information, and accounts safe.
For students, the simplest way to stay safe is to treat your phone like your wallet. Keep it with you, don't leave it unattended, and be aware of who is around you when using it in public.
Use a strong passcode, fingerprint, or face recognition to lock your phone, keep it updated with the latest software, and switch on security features such as Find My iPhone or Find My Device.
Be careful about what apps you install and avoid storing sensitive information where others could easily access it.
If your phone is lost or stolen, act quickly by locking it remotely, changing important passwords, contacting your bank if financial apps are installed, and reporting the theft.
Taking these simple steps can help protect your personal information, money, and online accounts.
