Encrypt Data on Your Phone

On the phone storage, you can encrypt data such as your accounts, settings, downloaded apps and
their data, media, and other files. On a storage card, you can only encrypt files.
Set a lock screen PIN or password before start encryption. Fully charge the battery and keep your
phone connected to the power adapter during encryption. This process takes may take about an
hour or so.
You cannot undo encryption on the phone storage. If you want to return to an unencrypted phone,
you must perform a factory reset. Once you enable storage card encryption, only new files added
after encryption will be encrypted. Files already on the card will not be encrypted. Also, storage card
encryption doesn't reformat or erase your card. Encrypted files on the storage card can only be
opened by the phone that encrypted them.
