- Make sure your device is fully charged (keep it plugged in) and connected to wifi.
- Enable encryption (if it isn't enabled already).
- This may take an hour or more and the way to do it varies depending on version/device.
- Open your phone Settings and go to Lock Screen and Security, then encrypt.
- The exact process differs between phones. If you get stuck: search online for your device name and enable encryption.
