I lost my Android phone 2months ago,and it contained videos in my private folder.But I had deleted those videos from the private folder10 months prior. Is it possible for the person who now has the phone after a factory reset to recover those videos?
this is also why your phone needs your passcode after reboot and fingerprint/face isn't enough. your pincode is the decryption key that gets the phone into the AFU state, where all data can be accessed, thus the biometrics can simply just allow you.
Will you guys make a scanwatch nova video when your get your hands on it?
When resetting an Android phone, I ALWAYS boot the phone into the 'Recovery mode' and then 'Wipe Cache Partition', then Wipe Data/Factory Reset. BUT… I then do these two steps 3 more times, THEN 'Reboot System Now' to allow the Phone/Tablet to boot back up…
It just helps ensure it clears what's there… 😏

You recommended an app that is terrible according to play store reviews. There's got to be a better one than that…..
2:28 isn’t that enclave thing apples’? Samsungs’ is the Knox right?
Short version – YOUR data isn't that interesting. No one's going to go through all this to get it. 😉
Why would you recommend an app that, according to reviews, clearly doesn't work?! Thumbs down!
All I want is for Google Play store yo off the same security on iphone… Before someone someone can wipe the phone or attempt to change your email
Although I don't think I am as important of a person for anyone to want my data, I get this is kinda important, especially when it comes to the big tech companies.
I always factory reset my phone when trading it in. Its a good idea also to just reset it every few months.
You can always clean everything off your phone with fire 😏🔥🔥
