What simple everyday habits help make your smartphone more secure in everyday life?

One thing that helped me was realizing that small habits add up over time. For example, I stopped delaying system updates and started checking app permissions once in a while. I also turned on auto-lock with a short timer, which felt annoying at first but quickly became normal. I came across this page — https://uk.moyens.net/ios/common-sense-tips-to-keep-your-phone-secure/ — and it lined up with a lot of what I learned the hard way, like avoiding sketchy Wi-Fi and keeping backups, especially after my friend lost his phone while traveling and had zero backups at all.
