What people are saying about Gluu
Never use tissues, paper towels, or course materials to clean any device screen. Gently polish the screen with a dry microfibre cloth instead. Use a damp cloth if needed.
Turning Wi-Fi off to silence your device can make it impossible to use Find My services to locate that device should it be lost or stolen. Consider using the Do Not Disturb option instead.
Only connect to public Wi-Fi networks with names you know—check with someone working at that location to be sure. Remember, entering a password to access a Wi-Fi network doesn't mean it's secure.
To see if your email has been part of a data breach, go to haveibeenpwned.com—this trusted website will safely check. If your email has been part of a breach, check out our Digital Security course.
Update the operating system (OS) on all of your devices. This is a necessary protection to keep cybercriminals away from your data. Not sure how to do that? Take one of our Essentials courses, search on Google for instructions, or reach out to your manufacturer for help.
Avoid charging your mobile device to 100%. These batteries age faster if they are always charging. A rough guideline is to keep within the sweet spot of 40% and 80%-that means no charging overnight, every night.
