Imagine you\u2019re having a simple conversation with a friend or family member.<\/a> Your child wants a specific toy for the holidays, you\u2019re thinking about trying a different hair product, you need a new pair of sunglasses.<\/p>\n

Naturally, the first place you might search for these products are sites like Google or Amazon.<\/a> But before you can even get to the search bar, ads are popping up on your phone screen for the exact products you were just speaking about moments before.<\/p>\n

It could be a coincidence, but it\u2019s important to know for sure that nothing suspicious is going on.<\/p>\n

The answer really is yes and no.<\/p>\n

4 SIMPLE AND POWERFUL TIPS FOR MASTERING YOUR IPHONE CALCULATOR<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Smartphones often have<\/a> built-in voice-recognition assistants that can help us find answers to questions, such as the Apple iPhone feature known as Siri. But these assistants are designed to listen to us only when commanded to (i.e. “Hey Siri, what song is currently playing?).<\/p>\n

There are built-in microphones in every smartphone as well, and your device should warn you when its microphone is being used to record you. When your microphone is being used, an orange dot should appear in the top right-hand corner of your screen, just above your Wi-Fi and battery icons. You can also swipe down from the top of your screen to see which apps on your phone are using the microphone.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This allows companies<\/a> to send you personalized advertisements based on items you\u2019ve clicked on or researched previously, baiting you to consume more of their products. It\u2019s more of a tool they use to get you to reach into your wallet than to obtain your personal information.<\/p>\n

Just because our smartphones can listen to us, doesn\u2019t mean we have to let them. These are a few easy steps you can take to limit your phone\u2019s listening access:<\/p>\n

Finally, another important consideration. If your device is acting slowly, and you\u2019re receiving strange popups on your phone, your device may be infected with malware. You may have accidentally clicked a link that looked legitimate when in fact it was a link to install malware. If you have malware, scammers can be doing a variety of things including monitoring you and installing software on your device that will mimic clicks and generate income for the scammer.<\/p>\n

My biggest desire is to educate and inform you about the increased real threat to each of our connected devices and encourage you to use strong antivirus security protection on everything in your life connected to the rest of the world.<\/a> The best way to protect yourself is to install antivirus software on your devices.\u00a0<\/p>\n
