Protecting Your Phone With Encryption

You can encrypt all the data on your phone: your accounts, application data, music and
other media, downloaded information, and more. If you do, you must draw an unlock
pattern, or enter a numeric PIN or a password each time you power on your phone.
WARNING! Encryption is irreversible. The only way to revert to an unencrypted phone is
to perform a factory data reset, which erases all your data.
Encryption provides additional protection in case your phone is stolen, and may be
required or recommended in some organizations. Consult your system administrator
before turning it on. In many cases the pattern, PIN or password you set for encryption is
controlled by the system administrator.
Before turning on encryption, prepare as follows:
• Set a screen lock pattern, PIN or password.
• Charge the battery.
• Keep the phone connected to the charger.
• Schedule an hour or more for the encryption process: you must not interrupt it or you
will lose some or all of your data.
When you're ready to turn on encryption:
1. Swipe up on the home screen and tap Settings > Security & location > Encryption
& credentials > Encrypt phone.
2. Read the information about encryption carefully.
The ENCRYPT PHONE button is dimmed if your battery is not charged or your
phone's not plugged in. If you change your mind about encrypting your phone, press
the Back Key.
WARNING! If you interrupt the encryption process, you will lose data.

3. Tap ENCRYPT PHONE.
4. Draw your screen lock pattern or enter your lock screen PIN or password.
5. Tap ENCRYPT PHONE again.
The encryption process starts. Encryption can take an hour or more, during which time
your phone may restart several times.
When encryption is complete, you'll be prompted to draw the unlock pattern, or enter
your PIN or password.
Subsequently you must draw your unlock pattern, or enter your PIN or password each
time you power on your phone to decrypt it.

Protecting Your Phone With Screen Pinning

You can use the screen pinning feature to keep an app in view, so others cannot switch
to other apps or access your personal information.
Turning On Screen Pinning
1. Swipe up on the home screen and tap Settings > Security & location > Screen pinning.
2. Tap the On/Off switch.
3. To add security for unpinning, tap the Lock device when unpinning switch, select
a security option, and follow the on-screen instructions if you do not already have a
pattern, PIN, or password set up.
