Hopefully, you have gotten started with last week's suggestions:
*cleaning up your email Inbox*reviewing and changing your passwords as needed
*sharing your passwords with someone else in your family
*reviewing your Facebook Privacy and Security settings
Today, let's add one more item to that beginning-of-a-new-year-to-do list.
Remove apps from your mobile devices and applications from your computers that you no longer use.
Leaving unused apps, applications, and accounts on our devices can make us vulnerable to possible security breaches. Take time to review the apps on your phone, tablet, etc. and delete them if you no longer use them.
(iPhone Users - Go to Settings - App Store - Offload Unused Apps and make sure this setting is turned on. This will automatically help keep unused apps off your phone. Apps can also be viewed and deleted on an iPhone by going to Settings - General - iPhone Storage. You will see a total list of your apps. Touch an app in the list and you will be given the choice of removing the app.)
For other mobile devices or computers, if you are unsure how to remove apps simply do an internet search for "how to remove apps/applications from....(name of device)" to view instructions.
Another beautiful sunshiny day here for getting outside; a real treat for January! Enjoy.
