Smartphones, tablets and other mobile devices are loaded with information. Over time, they may be dropped, cracked or damaged in some way that may be repairable. Before taking them in for a fix, however, look for a certified repair service to do the job. After all, once your device is in their hands, your data is, too. Before the repair, take these steps:
- Delete any sensitive information from texts, notifications or camera rolls
- Make sure your phone is passcode protected
- Let friends and family know your phone is in the shop
