When you know exactly who hacked into your phone and how they did it and what their purpose was. You can prevent it from happening again in the future, the Certo app can help with this.

3. Eliminate potential threats

Removing threats to your Android phone is relatively easy. Most security apps have the ability to scan your device for malware and remove any threats that are found.

For iPhones, removing threats needs to be done differently because security apps are not granted access to areas of the file system where malware often lurks.

You can remove most threats from your iPhone by updating iOS. Or, perform a factory reset if you feel it's absolutely necessary.

4. Change your phone password

Changing your password is a crucial part of keeping your phone secure. Change your password as soon as possible after the threat has been eliminated.

Changing your password helps prevent unauthorized access to your personal account. To make sure your password is secure, you should use a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols.

Here are the steps you need to take if you suspect your phone has been hacked. Hopefully this knowledge will help you.
