<human>:  How can I prevent my phone from being hacked?
<bot>: The best way to protect your phone from being hacked is to make sure that it is running the latest updates for the operating system and any other software you have installed. Additionally, use a strong password for your phone’s lock screen and use two-factor authentication, if it is available. You should also download security applications – such as an antivirus – in order to protect against malicious software, and disable any unnecessary app permissions. Finally, try to only download applications from trusted sources to avoid inadvertently downloading malicious code.
