Privacy and security are top priorities for anyone using a smartphone. People often ask, "What sets the UP Phone apart from devices like Apple or Google-based Android phones?" One answer lies in one of Unplugged’s signature innovations: Privacy Center.
The Privacy Center is a unique feature designed to put you in full control of your device’s security. It offers a quick and simple way to block access points across various parts of your device, addressing potential vulnerabilities at an operating system level. This means that it overrides app-specific settings, making your device more secure with just a few taps.
For example, let’s say you have given Instagram permission to use your camera. With the Privacy Center, you can easily toggle the “Camera blocked” feature to stop Instagram (or any app, including the default camera) from accessing your camera until you choose to unblock it.
What else can the Privacy Center do?
Unsecured public WiFi is one of the most common ways hackers gain access to your device. While it might seem convenient, it can be a serious risk to your personal information. The Privacy Center quickly blocks unsecured WiFi.
Another important feature is the ability to control your device's USB-C port. Many people are unaware that free charging stations, like those at airports, can be compromised and used to transfer data from your device without your knowledge. The Privacy Center allows you to block this data transfer feature, so you can safely charge your phone without any hidden risks.
In addition to these features, our Privacy Center includes the Liberty Firewall, which adds another layer of defense. In addition to other powerful features, this firewall blocks third-party trackers found in apps and while surfing the internet. It
The Privacy Center is your digital fortress, allowing you to switch to “Enhanced Privacy” with just one click, making it easier than ever to protect yourself and your data.
