We are not going to go into the lurid details but there are many situations in which you would like to hide your tracks when you use your mobile Issues such as no leave tracks of the web pages you have visited, the applications you have used or the content you have received. Only you put the reason, we take care of offering you the solutions so that nobody knows if you have used the mobile or not, and what you have done with it.
Deleting your steps on the Internet
If you're doing really private things over the Internet, it's best to take advantage of the Google Chrome browser. Above all because of its incognito mode, with which there is no record of the history, nor of passwords entered or saved on web pages, nor of cookies and other residual elements of browsing the Internet. You just have to start the browser, click on the three dots in the upper right corner and open a new tab as incognito
Of course, if you have already been using the Internet browser by default, without hiding your steps, you can always delete them afterwards. Now, do it but make it look like an accident. To do this you have to click again on the three points inside Chrome and jump to the History section. From here you can Delete browsing data, being able to choose only some pages to make disappear, or delete everything.It is even possible to delete specific periods of use, making it impossible to know if you have browsed the Internet from your mobile in the last hour, day, week or month. In addition, cookies, auto-fill forms and saved passwords can be deleted, so that none of these details can reveal usage information.
Delete applications
If you're using apps that, for whatever reason, you shouldn't be using, there's also a way to avoid suspicion. And no, we are not referring only to uninstalling. Details such as a search in the Google Play Store can reveal that you have already been interested in that tool, with the consequent explanations that you must give. You can avoid it with various tricks.
The first is to effectively uninstall applications. And it is not enough to eliminate them from the system. If you really want to avoid any footprint, go through the terminal settings and enter applications.From here, by clicking on the desired one (while it is still installed), you can access the storage, where you can delete the cached data and other issues that denote its use. Then you can uninstall the application as normal. Of course, if you want to leave no trace, make sure you connect your Android mobile to your computer and navigate through the Android folder and search the "data" and "obb" subfolders for any reference to the applications that you're hiding. Of course, if you see any folder with the name of the app you've deleted, feel free to delete it.
Of course, don't forget to visit the Google Play Store and access its Settings section. Here you can clear your local search history In this way, when you type a few letters to search for an application in this Android store, you will not see suggestions of applications that you have searched for .Less likely to be caught red-handed.
Hide apps and photos
If you don't want to delete any content but do want to keep it out of sight of any curious person, you can always take advantage of applications like Lockit. With it you will not only be able to protect access to certain applications under a pin code or your fingerprint, you will also be able to hide others and create secure and private folders to hide photos.
Just install the app and create a secure container for photos and videos. Thus, any photo that is compromised or that you want to hide can be sent from the gallery to this container Of course, only those who know the pin or password can see these again Hidden files.
Leave the mobile as new
And if all this is not enough, you can always delete absolutely everything. If there is no body, there is no crime. Although it can be very suspicious. But if you want to erase all traces of your mobile to sell it, lend it or simply leave it like new, this is what you have to do:
The first thing is to make a copy of everything we want to keep: contacts, contents, applications, etc. Then we will go to the terminal Settings menu and look for the phone information section. This is where the option Restore factory data We must choose this option to ensure that absolutely all files, data and information that have passed through the terminal are indeed deleted from it.
A few more clarifications
Take into account that these techniques serve at the user level, to avoid having to give more explanations.Small tricks with which it will appear that your mobile has not been used, or with which to cover the last usual steps taken on it: surf the Internet and use applications. But they are not techniques to achieve the perfect crime, and there are many residual details that can reveal these practices. Of course, only before the expert eye or through expert investigations.
That is, it is almost impossible to erase traces of activity on a mobile. Residual folders, files, services that record visits... They are all clues that a good investigator can discover and string together.
By the way, don't forget to delete your call logs and SMS messages. They end up going unnoticed, but it is a good way to find out what has been done with the terminal. In general, a long press on a call record allows you to delete it. And the same with text messages.
You must also bear in mind that spying on someone else's mobile directly incurs a crime for the violation of the Right to PrivacyWhat happens in our terminal only concerns us, unless third-party content is being published, of course. Therefore, you have every right to prevent other people from reviewing the activity that you have carried out on your own mobile. Of course, denying access to it can be a clear reference to the fact that there is something to hide.
