Protesting is your right, but it can be dangerous, especially now. Before you step into the crowd, we show you how to make your phone as protest-proof as possible in minutes.

Even if you have nothing to hide, you don’t want to accidentally give law enforcement officials any information you didn’t intend to share. Follow these tips to lock down your phone before a protest or other peaceful assembly.
