A flashlight app should only need access to your camera light, right?
But some free flashlight apps ask for much more, like your contacts, location, and internet access.
Why? Because they are not just flashlights. Many are actually adware or spyware, collecting your data or showing hidden ads in the background.
How to stay safe:
• Avoid installing simple utility apps from unknown developers
• Check app permissions before installing
• Use trusted sources like the official app store
• If an app asks for more than it needs, do not install it
Not everything that lights up your screen is safe.
