Flyme security guide! Use it now

When comparing the operating systems of various mobile phone manufacturers, in addition to factors such as the system's UI and fluency, the security of the system is also something that needs to be considered. The security of the system generally includes mobile phone anti-loss, network information security, payment security, emergency assistance functions, etc.

System security has always been the top priority of Flyme's development and iteration. Now Flyme 8 has become one of the most secure mobile phone systems in the Android camp, protecting users' personal and property safety as well as the safety of their families at the system level. The following is the most comprehensive Flyme security guide in history, please check it out!

01. System Settings

System security settings are the operations that many users tend to overlook, and incorrect settings may reduce the security of the phone and reduce the probability of recovery if lost.

When you just get a new phone, you must first set a screen unlock password. The path is: Settings - Fingerprint, Face and Security - Screen Unlock Method - Phone Password. You can choose a simple password of 4-6 digits or a complex password of 4-17 digits. You can choose according to your personal preference. When setting a simple password, try not to set the password to a too simple password such as "000000" or "123456" to prevent others from easily cracking the password after the phone is lost.

At the same time, in Settings - Notifications and Status Bar - Lock Screen, you can pull down the notification bar when the lock screen is turned off to prevent the person who picked up the phone from turning off the data service and positioning service in the locked screen state, making the phone retrieval function unavailable.

02. Find your phone

The "Find Phone" function was launched in 2011 when the Meizu M9 was launched. After nearly a decade of development and improvement, the "Find Phone" function has gained a good reputation. Many stories about Meizu fans fighting wits and courage with thieves can be seen online. Some are surprised by the loss and some are happy to find their family members who have mistakenly entered a pyramid scheme and help the police destroy the pyramid scheme. "Find Phone" undoubtedly provides a solid security barrier for your mobile phone.

In Flyme cloud service, turn on the "Find Phone" function, path: Settings-Account and Sync-Cloud Service-Find Phone, turn on the Find Phone and Send Number function when changing the card. "Find Phone" has three functions: mobile phone location search, data security protection, and remote control.

After losing your phone, log in to the Flyme official website to find your phone or the Find Your Phone APP as quickly as possible and turn on the report loss mode. After the report loss mode is turned on, the phone will automatically synchronize private data in the background and hide all your personal data and all text messages. This not only increases the probability of your phone being found, but also prevents financial losses caused by data leakage of payment software such as WeChat and Alipay.

After reporting the loss of the mobile phone, we can use the positioning function on the phone recovery interface to check the location of the phone, and use the portrait and environment captured by "remote photography" to locate the phone. The portrait of the person who picked it up can be used as evidence for reporting the incident to the police.

If your phone is not nearby, do not use the "Play Sound" function to avoid alerting the enemy. It is recommended to use this function only in the following situations:

• It is known that the phone is nearby, but the specific location is unknown.
• Find the person who found the phone and confront him face to face. If he denies having your phone on him.

Finally, you need to be patient. Many cases of recovering a phone take weeks or even months. After turning on the report loss mode, set up an online reminder and wait for the SMS message when the phone goes online. Of course, if you feel that there is little hope of recovering the phone, you can also remotely clear the data depending on the situation.

03. SOS emergency help

The "SOS Emergency Assistance" function was launched in Flyme 7 in 2018. When the phone is locked, pressing the power button 5 times in a row can invoke a call for help.

In 2019, Flyme 8 was the first to connect to the public security departments in some provinces to realize the "automatic sending of location information when calling the police" function, and when making a call to the police, the location will be automatically sent to the public security command center.

After the "SOS Emergency Assistance" function is activated, it can realize three functions: automatic alarm, automatic emergency contact assistance, and alarm assistance (pre-setting is required). You can add 5 emergency contacts. Press the power button 5 times in a row to activate the emergency assistance. The system will automatically call 110 and send the location to the police. The smart voice phone will notify the emergency contact and send a location SMS.

SOS Alarm Assist now supports access to more regions across the country. You can view the supported regions through the instructions in the upper right corner of the "SOS Emergency Assistance" interface.

04. Mobile Manager

2. Application permission management

There are two ways to add family members: if the family members are around, they can add them by scanning the QR code of the Family Guardian; if the family members are not around, they can add them by sending invitation text messages. The Family Guardian function requires both parties to use Meizu phones.

Home Guard has four main functions:
