I think my Samsung phone might be hacked. Apps open randomly and battery drains too fast. How can I be sure?

Hi Ella, those symptoms can definitely be concerning. To investigate if your Samsung phone might be compromised, here are a few steps to check:

  1. Review Data Usage: Go to Settings > Connections > Data Usage and look for any unusual spikes or high usage by unfamiliar apps.
  2. Examine Battery Stats: In Settings > Battery and device care > Battery, then “View details” or “Usage details,” see which apps are consuming the most power. Look for anything you don’t recognize.
  3. Check Your App List: Go to Settings > Apps and scroll through everything installed. Uninstall any apps you don’t remember installing or don’t trust.
  4. Observe Phone Behavior: Note if you see strange pop-up ads, very slow performance, or random reboots.

If you find suspicious activity, taking action is important.
