Smartphones have become a necessity and is not just a luxury anymore. We are massively depended on our smartphones for a lot of things! And therefore, it is important for us to keep them in good shape all the time. If you really care about your smartphone and want to keep it in great condition, delete these apps on urgent basis!

Location Trackers

There is a simple science behind deciding what to keep and what not in your phone. Apps that ask to access your location not only significantly shorten your phone’s battery life, but might also use or sell your personal data. There is a lot at stake here.



WiFi Apps

WiFi apps are nothing better to be honest. Most of them claim to provide you with a map of Wi-Fi hotspots, free Wi-Fi keys and network protection. That is where they trick you. The reality is that most of them steal away your personal data from you.

Games Free Of Cost

If its free, you are the product! Nothing free of cost is good. Simple logic says that it takes massive amount of sum to make a game. So if you are getting it for free, developers either added a lot of advertising to the app (which is usually saved to cache and eats up your device’s storage) or there’s a chance that they might steal and then sell your personal information. Read the user agreement document properly before downloading any free game.



Fast Charge Apps In Your Phone

Its good to delete such apps as well. There are n number of apps that promise you a quick charge and most of them are not up to the mark. The fact is: nothing (including the apps) can charge your phone faster than the default setting allows.

Built in Browsers

Just because they are built in doesn't mean they are safe. if anything, most of them are not! A lot of times, they sometimes open automatically when you click a link. There is a major privacy breach here as well!



Unnecessary Apps

Open your phone and check. You'll see a lot of absolutely unnecessary apps that you never use in your phone. You just don't use them. Why risk it? Uninstall everything you don't use!
