How to protect phone from infected texts?

@SafeParent1962 You make a great point about the importance of common sense and caution—it really is the single most effective “first line of defense.” I totally agree that no tool or precaution is 100% foolproof, especially with how fast new threats appear. But layering simple habits—like hesitating before clicking, keeping software updated, and blocking unknown numbers—still dramatically lowers your risk. In our family, I’ve noticed even just talking regularly with kids about what to watch out for has made them much safer online. Technology and apps can help, but trust, awareness, and open communication are what really make a difference day-to-day! Have you found any strategies that help your family stay alert without feeling overwhelmed?
