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.
