Your attention,
please. Twelve dangerous Android apps it's better to delete immediately. WOO!...But
unfortunately not all of them have the best intentions some programs can
collect data from your phone share your personal…information and even steal
money from your bank account *Ouch*…Here's a list of the most suspicious apps
you may come across in Google Play…Hopefully you don't have any of them on your
phone right now

weather apps
Now weather apps
used to be really popular back in the day at least until it was discovered that
some of them contained dangerous viruses…there was one case where a weather app
had a built-in Trojan that collected information from the user's phone and…Sent
it to the attackers those stinkers for the most part. They were interested in
credit card data surprise surprise..Over 5,000 people downloaded the app which
besides showing them the forecast…Also intercepted their texts that allowed the
bad guys to avoid 2-step authentication and easily get access to banking
information..
Now that most smart devices come with pre-loaded and much more trustworthy weather apps nobody really needs to download them anymore
Thank goodness

social media
apps
These apps were
also really prevalent at first
But then started losing their popularity pretty quick their decline has nothing to do with hackers
It's just that social media apps suck up so much of your device's energy and kill the battery, too
Nobody wants to deal with a lagging phone, right?
Many Facebook users find the mobile version of the browser much easier to use than the official app so how about giving that a try?

Optimizers
Optimizers like
clean master are supposed to take care of your phone by clearing your cache and
deleting unnecessary…programs but most phones today come with this function
already built-in…Which makes these apps essentially useless they also drain the
battery life…So really optimizers don't make your phone system faster. They
just slow it down and bring you ads as an added bonus..
Number
nine
built-in
browsers
these apps are exactly like what they sound..browsers
that come factory installed in your device..They're mostly slow working and as
you can guess not that…Popular in most cases built-in browsers open when you
click a link, which is pretty annoying if you ask me But it's more serious than
just Inconvenience unlike for example Google Chrome these programs…Don't have
any protection from data interception
Number eight
Number eight
antivirus
programs from unknown developers…
when hackers
started stealing people's data from their phones mobile anti viruses naturally
started popping up everywhere and…That's exactly when the hackers themselves
got the bright idea to create their own…anti-virus apps which can steal users
personal data and even completely block the phone…Just check out what this fake
antivirus called low P is capable of it aggressively displays…Advertisements
that redirect the user to malicious Internet resources and as soon as these web
pages open…Harmful files are automatically downloaded…It can also send delete
and reply to text messages…Allowing it to control the phone system plus if that
wasn't enough…It subscribes you to differ pay for services, and you wonder
where your money is disappearing, too…And that's not all oh no this app takes
deceit to a whole new level…it makes the user believe that genuine antivirus
scanners are dangerous for the software and …Demands that you uninstall them as
soon as they're detected to make ..All this activity going on in the low P app
can overheat your phone so much that the battery bulges destroying your Android
device…Yeah, stay far away from this one folks
Number
7
Browsers with
additional features…
This category
includes browsers with special features like gaming and video streaming …These
types of applications have two major downfalls…First off the number of built-in
ads is just ridiculous …Not only are these ads incredibly annoying. They also
really slow your phone down….Secondly these special browsers require access to
most aspects of the system …They can even manage your calls, which as you know
isn't safe. Let's take for example
:
UC browser which is the number one web browser in India and China …It's supposed to have a fast mode that compresses data and saves you tons of megabytes and usage trust me ..It's not as cool…As it sounds because this browser is actually used for tracking as soon as you start using it your searches …IMEI and IMSI numbers Android ID and other information is directed to an Alibaba….Analytics tool and your geolocation down to the street name …You're on get sent to an Alibaba mapping tool without any encryption…This all sounds really techy and confusing just note that it's extremely unsafe for you as the user

apps for
increasing your phone's memory
Apps that promise to increase the amount of RAM on your device are optimizers and all they can actually do is clear the cache temporarily …But remember we already mentioned that your phone can do this on its own. Oh and one thing about RAM ,you won't get more memory than your phone had initially plus these programs ,Don't just use up the resources you have but also gladly collect your data

lie detectors
Surely, you don't
fall for these apps now. Do you because they're created just for fun?
You know maybe in the future all phones will come with built-in Biometric sensors that can read the subtle changes in heart rate when someone answers random questions but until that day comes we're stuck with what we got and Today's mobile lie detectors are about as useful as crystal balls or the device that fortune tellers use Like any other app of this sort they kill your battery plus They absolutely don't need access to your contacts and personal data ,So if you've downloaded a lie detecting app, and it's trying to get this access delete it

Defragmentation apps
Defragmentation apps
apps that
defragment mobile devices were super popular right at their inception Because
they're similar to the same programs on computers
But a smart phone doesn't have any hard drive for these apps to defragment they can only analyze how much space certain programs take up besides.Defragmentation apps also use your phone's resources and can collect your personal data ,Not worth it.

music player
as you can
probably guess from the name this app lets you listen to the audio files.
You've saved on your device however even though the files are saved the application still consumes tons of data…Since it's full of ads. What's more. It causes a massive drain of your battery ah

battery savers and fast charge apps
There are countless apps promising to extend battery life
Or make a smart phone charge faster for example
There are apps like d-u battery saver and fast charge in fact
Nothing especially an application can change the speed of your gadget charging ,They do nothing to help your phone's battery work more effectively…What they really do is provide you with an endless stream of ads that appear even on your lock screen?
