OMG thank you very much at lease I can actually understand what you are talking about a lot of different YouTube videos i watch about hacking tracking and scamming I don't understand but you are very easy to understand Thank you im going to watch everyone of your videos

[Arend]

"Usage data access " which ones should you leave on? Would be helpful to get more in depth on this.

[edwinbaezjr.]

Thanks again Ms. Morse!! Always keeping us safe and secure!!

[wkdpaul]

Great informative video! Thanks again for this !!! It'll help with a few family members when they have questions (video explanations are SO much easier than try to explain it over the phone! :D)

[jimcabezola]

I really found this useful!!! Mahalo! I have old Androids I use occasionally that didn't have these security settings engaged. My Pixel 6A has Graphene, and it's amazing how many settings can still be left unsecured if you're not watching. I have an iPhone, too, so an iPhone version of your useful video would be nice if you would like to make one. Aloha.

This is more of a security setting than privacy, but what are your thoughts on locking your SIM card with a pin? What day to day usage roadblocks could you run into that might not make it worth it?

[wavemakersdj]

Awesome, good advice and step by step!

[connormccarter]

This was really good. I change quite a few settings. Thank you! Question, do you have any sage advice to pass on regarding QC codes? I am seeing them more, especially for restaurants and the like.

When I set up my phone, I just set every permission to off and turn them on as I need them. This way no app is allowed permission to anything I don't need it to.

[brokenchimp]

18:11 I leave the kaspersky active on this one.

[MissFoxification]

This is nuts. I have been using custom roms for many years and Graphene on my phone for the last 2 phones I have had... so I don't see any of this, it's already removed.

[VincentGroenewold]

Great stuff, I had many of these but still not all. :)

[markschwarz]

Thanks for another great video! Would love to see one for iOS in the future.

[thainun]

How can i delete my number as a verification step for my Samsung Sccount?

[CarlVanWormerAEGD]

Several of the settings were in different locations on my Google Pixel4A5G. I was able to find most of them with a little browsing around. I'm getting a Pixel 8 tomorrow. Will these settings be imported from my 4 to the 8?

[Aygross]

customization service is Samsung. I would love if you can provide who each service is from

[dougcox]

I think permissions like this are like locks. They keep honest people honest. What I want to know is if 3 letter agencies with their magic software can see everything anyway. Also, can apps work around the permissions somehow and track you anyway?

[shinokami]

is it me or the audio is really weird??

[MundoTechconJc]

I have a infinix and the huge mayority of those setting i don't have it

[RetiredFan]

Why did you not do Threatwire? Did you quit?
