you already have a flash light? So what's the point of downloading a flashlight application? This flashlight application includes unfaedah applications, it's a lot of very annoying ads.

And the most dangerous is, the flashlight application asks for invasive permissions such as your location and contact list.
Of course developers can use this to sell your data to advertisers so they earn more money.

2. Application keyboard

Replacing the built-in keyboard with a third-party keyboard can provide a fast typing solution. But using a third party keyboard app is very dangerous. Remember, this app can see what you type like passwords, private chat, and other information.

Sure, for leading developers like Microsoft, they can keep your privacy well. But this is not a guarantee. If there is a privacy issue, your data can leak.

3. Free games

Since this is a free game, so the developer uses another way to earn money. For that, you have to selectively choose a free game, choose a totally free game that is really reliable.

4. Antivirus applications

For iPhone users, the antivirus app is completely useless. Because the iPhone already has a built-in security system is much more resilient to ward off viruses.
So is Android, is equipped with innate protection that can prevent the device terjangkit virus.

Downloading a virus app only gives developers an opportunity to collect information about your smartphone and your browsing history.

5. Online payment application

This type of application allows you to make payments online. But is this convenience proportional to the security provided?
Abroad there are many cases of burglary user information payment applications, for example, Starbucks in 2014 reported by CNN. Hackers use this information to steal users' payments application money. And hopefully something like this does not happen in Indonesia.

Just as we have to selectively choose spoken words, as well as smartphone apps. We have to selectively choose the applications that must be downloaded. So be wise to use your smart device, Loopers.

hopefully this is useful
