Smartphone users warned: Delete these dangerous apps immediately
Our smartphones can harbour dangerous applications, often without our knowledge. The consequences can be severe, potentially leading to the loss of essential data. It is advisable to remove such applications.
Nowadays, we install numerous applications on our phones, frequently unaware of the potential threats they may pose.
Even applications available on Google Play are not always entirely safe. Surprisingly, even those from official sources can use their functions to extract personal information from our mobile devices.
The portal gp24.pl warns owners of devices from brands such as Huawei, Realme, VIVO, Xiaomi, and Samsung about specific applications. Experts recommend avoiding the installation of these apps. It is also worth checking if they are installed; if so, they should be removed immediately.
Data loss can have serious repercussions. Therefore, it is essential to thoroughly browse your phone's menu to ensure you are not using dangerous applications.
What are the dangers?
The portal gp24.pl has compiled a list of applications we should remove from our devices. It also encourages using security measures such as screen locks, PIN codes, or owner recognition systems to protect phones from unauthorised access.
The unwanted applications are WOW Beauty Camera, Creative 3D Launcher, GIF Emoji Keyboard, 2FA Authenticator, Trojan Vultur, Style Message, and Custom-Themed Keyboard. Some of these have already been removed from Google Play because they allowed unauthorised users to access phone data.
It is important to remember that simply removing the application icon from the main screen does not resolve the problem. To effectively secure your data, savings, and communication accounts, you need to completely uninstall the application, ensuring all unwanted mechanisms are removed.
