We save a lot of private data (photos, documents etc) on our smartphones. It is better if such content is saved locked in a safe location. ColorOS 6 comes with ‘private safe’ in which you can save your sensitive content. In this guide, we will show you how to configure and access private safe. Also, do not miss our “Recommended Smartphones” list that contains best smartphones for every budget.
