Mobile apps, any need to worry?

Asked By Lloyd S Lebron 60 points N/A Posted on - 01/07/2015

Do I need to worry in installing apps on my mobile devices or not? Now that everything is going mobile, a lot of apps requires a lot of access to personal privacy. With many apps requesting free range of mobile permission, should I be concern or just trust that the data are in safe hand? Is there any supervisor for the data that this app developers has access to?

Hello  Lloyd S Leborn,  You don't need to be tense too much if you are using android. Google owns Android and they will not disclose your information to anyone. Actually your information is Encrypted and they don't have any access to your privacy. But always remember don't install the app from untrusted sources to your mobile as this action can steal your private information from your phone.

Check the permit terms too. If you think that the app you want to used might need to access the privacy data or not. If a calculator app is just asking for hardware data permission do not install them. So always read everything before accepting that. It take time but you will have to read that.
