Tip: Delete Old Apps To Protect Your Privacy

Old apps you no longer use can still keep collecting personal information in the background. Removing them is a simple way to protect your privacy and reduce unnecessary risk on your phone. Who Is at Risk Anyone with a smartphone, especially people who download apps for one-time use and forget to delete them. What to Watch For Look for apps on your phone that you have not opened in a long time or no longer need, especially ones that may still have access to your personal information. What to Do Review your phone and delete any apps you no longer use, then check app permissions to make sure only trusted apps still have access.
