Protecting your phone with encryption
You can encrypt all of the data on your phone: Google Accounts, application data, music and other media, downloaded information, and so on. If you do, you must enter a numeric PIN or password each time you power on your phone.
Warning! Encryption is irreversible. The only way to revert to an unencrypted phone is to perform a factory data reset, which erases all your data.
Encryption provides additional protection in case your phone is stolen, and may be required or recommended in some organizations.

Before turning on encryption, prepare as follows:
•	Set a lock screen PIN or password.
•	Charge the battery.
•	Keep the phone connected to the charger.
•	Schedule an hour or more for the encryption process: you must not interrupt it or you will lose some or all of your data.
When you’re ready to turn on encryption:
1. From the home screen, tap  > Settings > Security > Encrypt phone.
2. Read the information about encryption carefully. 
The ENCRYPT PHONE button is dimmed if your battery’s not charged or your phone’s not plugged in. If you change your mind about encrypting your phone, tap  .
3. Tap ENCRYPT PHONE.
The encryption process starts and displays its progress . Encryption can take an hour or more, during which time your phone may restart several times.
When encryption is completed, you’re prompted to enter your PIN or password.
Subsequently, you must enter your PIN or password each time you power on your phone, to decrypt it.
