The safety of your device is more important than any useless app that keeps you entertained at the cost of your privacy.
There are thousands of apps launching in the market which not only eat up your phone’s storage or battery but end up charging money, collect credit card data or share your personal information.
We always think about cybersecurity and want to feel safe using our smartphones so we should not download any app which seems suspicious. Here is the list of 6 smartphone apps that you should delete from your mobile as soon as possible.
1. Free Games
You should not waste your time on free games app as it adds a lot of advertising to the app which is usually saved to cache and eats up your device’s storage and there are high chances that they might steal your personal information. If you are a game lover and want to download a game app, make sure that it is well known.
2. Fast charge apps
There are several apps that promise to charge your phone’s battery faster but all the claims are fake. No fast charge app can charge your phone faster than the default setting allows. These apps only come up with an endless stream of ads that sometimes appear even if the screen is locked.
3. Wi-Fi apps
You should be aware of downloading free Wi-Fi apps that claim to provide you with a map of Wi-Fi hotspots, free Wi-Fi keys and network protection. These apps steal your personal data, including credit card information.
4. Music players from unknown developers
Be careful while downloading music apps from unknown developers because these apps are harmful to your phone and they might have built-in viruses and hacker codes that copy your personal data.
5. Location trackers
You should not permit to access your location to any app as there are some apps that sell your personal data. You need to check your application settings and prohibit access to your location. Be careful while downloading apps that ask you to give access to your phone number, contacts, text messages, photos, location, etc.
6. Built-in browsers
When we buy a phone, built-in browsers are pre-installed in it and open automatically when you click a link. But there is no guarantee of personal data protection or protection against viruses and they slow down your phone’s operating system.
