hi guys, recently my phone screen got problem and keep flickering, i need to send my phone for repairing in one of service center. Normally how do you lock or protect your privacy stuff in your phone b4 sending for repairing? Or what steps should be taken to make sure your privacy stuff won't leak out?

backup to pc/icloud, format phone then only send for repair

Ya as what other forumer said, since only your screen is flickering, most likely you can still connect phone to computer via USB. Do that, back up your photos into computer, and just delete it from phone.

Try to negotiate and ask the seller to fix there and then for u. Then u must be prepared to sit and watch him fix.

What brand? if Samsung, u can use maintenance mode

You need to backup all private data that stored in your internal smartphone storage to external storage (PC) that's a lot of task could take hours (video, website browser history, fb insta access).

My advise is don't leave your phone to technician, look for a shop that can do a face to face screen replacement, the process will less than 1 hour and you just wait & watch him replace the screen.
