So Is Your Smartphone Getting Tracked?

Many people are now concerned that they are being tracked by unforeseen sources. Whether it’s a husband or a wife checking on their spouse, parents wanting to watch over their teenage children, or even the last retail online store you checked who suddenly has their advertisements popping up all over your browser, people are getting tracked, willingly and unwillingly. But it’s not just regular citizens, some of the people doing the tracking are much more serious, like the NSA, or Government agencies, or even someone more sinister, like a hacker. But how can you know?

Check For Installed Apps That You’re Not Familiar With

One of the first things you should check to know if someone is following you is to check all the apps on your smartphone that you’re not familiar with. Many times, we buy cellphones that already have apps installed in them, but we don’t think twice to double check whether these applications are ones that we really use, or if they have actually been placed there by someone else. The one way you will know is if you bother to check them right off the bat.
