These Android apps are eavesdropping on you and you should uninstall them right now.
Little remains of naive relationships that one day we had technology. From time to time, alarms sound about mobile applications containing harmful to our mobile devices or even gadgets who record our conversations. It is a worry that always remains, even if it is hidden.
Experts have already criticized a dozen applications for Android, the most common operating system in our country, for compromising the safety of our mobile phones. In this particular case, the malware they have can take control of the device and record audio in the background.
I must say that these apps are coming to mobile phones In some cases thanks to direct download through the Google Play Store, but in others they are installed through so-called “alternate routes”. The experts’ advice is clear: they should be removed from the terminal as soon as possible.
They also generally recommend being careful and avoiding traps. For example, they urge you not to download apps from third-party senders or through suspicious links or that we do not have minimum confidence that its origin is not malicious. Along with them, they also remember to never share personal information –phone number, identity card, and especially bank details– if the application is not known and verified.
For this reason, 12 Android apps have been warned that user privacy is being compromised. They are like this:
- Rafaqat
- Private chat
- find me
- Let’s chat
- Quick chat
- Chat
- YohooTalk
- TikTok
- Hello cha
- Nest
- GlowChat
- WaveChat
Some of them were available on Google Play Store until recently and have received over 1400 downloads and now although they have already been removed from this particular bazaar, they can still be used if they were downloaded previously, so for greater safety you should delete them immediately them if they are still on your mobile phone.
