The mobile phone has become “stuck” for some reason, the power consumption has become faster, and the pop-up window advertisements continue to pop up, which cannot be deleted.
This is a situation that many middle-aged and elderly mobile phone users will encounter. If you accidentally click on videos, pictures, and links from unknown sources, you may be forced to download and install malicious software, resulting in privacy leakage or property damage.
Among them, mobile phone apps and free Wi-Fi apps are the hardest hit areas for automatic malware installation.
Generally speaking, when your mobile phone has the following situations, it is very likely to be “hit”:
1. The call is interrupted, or even interrupted for no reason;
2. Frequently received harassing calls;
3. Stuck for no reason, even black screen or fast power consumption of mobile phone;
4. Various pop-up advertisements.
The key is that these “rogue” software are difficult to uninstall once installed, just like psoriasis, they cannot be deleted. Not to mention middle-aged and elderly users, even some veterans who often play with the machine, it is also very difficult to handle.
Is there a quick solution for ordinary users? Of course there is.
In fact, in response to the above pain points, Huawei Hongmeng OS provides a complete set of solutions.
Take the Huawei P50 Pro as an example, turn off the phone, press and hold the volume up button and the power button at the same time, and then you can choose to enter “safe mode” to troubleshoot and uninstall malware after it is turned on.
It is understood that the “safe mode” of Hongmeng OS is a minimal system environment that only loads basic functions and preset applications.
In principle, it is similar to Windows safe mode. In safe mode, some errors of the mobile phone system can be repaired. For example, due to errors during third-party installation, the system keeps reporting errors and cannot be turned on normally. You can enter safe mode to uninstall. Abnormal application and troubleshooting and repair system.
Different Huawei mobile phones have different methods to enter “safe mode”. Specifically:
Hongmeng 2.0, EMUI 9.1 and above systems: In the shutdown state, long press the power button + volume up button;
For systems below EMUI 9.1: In the off state, long press the power button + volume down button;
Mate30 Pro: Press the power button 5 times continuously after the startup vibrates.
After we enter the mobile phone desktop in safe mode, open the mobile phone “Settings” > “Apps and Services” > “App Management”, find the suspected app and click “Uninstall”, or click “Deactivate and Uninstall” to complete the uninstallation.
After uninstalling, restart your device to exit Safe Mode.
It is worth mentioning that in addition to uninstalling suspicious malware, you can also perform a series of operations on the APP such as notification management, permission settings, and traffic usage viewing in the “App Management” to protect the user’s personal privacy. Yes, you can also select “Prohibit” in “Install other apps within the app”, which greatly reduces the risk of installing malware in this app.
In addition to the “safety mode”, the mobile phone manager and “pure mode” on the Hongmeng system are also escorting the security of the mobile phone. The phone manager can quickly detect and uninstall risky applications, and the “pure mode” can effectively prevent users from installing malicious software by mistake, so that it can be prevented before it happens.
Many elders often accidentally click on the APP download pop-up window when browsing the web and watching videos. Many applications that have not been certified by security certification have been installed without understanding, and there are a lot of messy APPs on the desktop. It will not only seriously affect the user experience, slow down the system fluency, but also have the risk of privacy leakage and property loss.
At this time, we can turn on the “pure mode” to eliminate all applications from unknown sources and protect the security of the mobile phone.
Take Huawei P50 Pro as an example, you can turn on pure mode in two ways:
1. Go to “Settings” > “System and Updates” > “Pure Mode”, click to enable.
2. Slide out the control center from the top right of the screen, click to select Edit shortcut switch, drag the pure mode to the shortcut switch panel above, and enable this function.
In pure mode, the phone will suggest downloading apps from the Huawei App Store first. The app market has carried out malicious behavior detection, security vulnerability scanning, privacy leak inspection, and manual real-name re-inspection on all the APPs listed on the “proprietary quadruple detection system”, so there is no need to worry at all.
If an unknown application is installed, the system detects that the application has an uncontrollable risk and will prohibit the installation.
For the entire industry, rogue software chaos is a problem. The professionalism and reliability of Huawei Hongmeng OS in malware protection has provided an example for the industry. Especially for middle-aged and elderly users, it is particularly important to use the Hongmeng system to lock their pensions.
As He Gang, Chief Operating Officer of Huawei Terminal BG previously called, let rogue software have nowhere to escape. We also hope that more and more mobile phone manufacturers will work together to create a purer use environment for consumers and say to rogue software’ No’, to make consumption more secure and worry-free.
