@computer_geeks: 🚨 Secret Settings to Protect Your Phone from Scams and Message-Based Attacks! 🔐 Your messaging app has useful security features that many people overlook. Here are 3 settings worth enabling! 📱 1️⃣ Automatically Delete OTP Messages 🔹 Open Google Messages and tap your profile icon. 🔹 Go to Messages settings → Message organization. 🔹 Enable Auto-delete OTPs after 24 hours, if available. 📌 Reason: Automatically removes older one-time passwords (OTPs) from your inbox, reducing the chance of someone seeing an old code if they gain access to your messages. 2️⃣ Enable Spam Protection 🔹 Go back to Messages settings. 🔹 Tap Protection & safety or Spam protection. 🔹 Turn Spam protection ON. 📌 Reason: Helps Google Messages identify suspected spam and scam messages, making it easier to spot suspicious texts. 3️⃣ Enable RCS Chats 🔹 Open Messages settings → RCS chats. 🔹 Turn RCS chats ON, if supported by your device and carrier. 📌 Reason: RCS supports richer messaging features, including high-quality photo and video sharing, file attachments, read receipts, and typing indicators—depending on device and service support. ⚠️ Important: These settings can improve message privacy and help reduce spam, but they do not completely prevent hackers from accessing your device. Never share OTPs, and avoid clicking suspicious links. RCS is not the same as SMS, and RCS features may require an internet connection. 👉 Follow Computer Geeks for more Tips and Tricks! 📱🔐 #GoogleMessages #AndroidTips #CyberSecurity #PhoneSecurity #SpamProtection #RCS #TechTips #ComputerGeeks
