Today we have millions of applications that can threaten the proper use of mobile phones in our children. Many times we don’t realize it because of the privacy settings children make, but before this, it’s best not to get lost and take a look at the following apps you’ll see below; some of them may be downloaded to your child’s smartphone.

All of these applications can affect the child’s environment in one way or another. So when in doubt, it’s much better to be aware of those tools that children and teenagers download to their mobile phones. So with no more time to waste, we went on to discover the list with 7 of the top applications that should never be on your child’s phone.

Vaulty and Hide It Pro

Both applications can be used to hide secret photos and videos with content that would make anyone angry.

First, Vaulty is a tool that functions as a secret platform for hiding photos and videos. The files stored in it do not appear in the main gallery application, and that is one of its main benefits. But in addition to this advantage, the app can take a picture of you if you try to access the content with an incorrect password.

Now, Hide It Pro has the feature of being a music controller to equalize the volume and other musical parameters. However, if you press its icon for a few seconds, you will be redirected to a tab where messages, photos and videos are hidden (secure with inappropriate content).

It’s logical to think that an application like this would be great in work cases where you need to save a file with total caution. However, the use goes beyond the previous one.

Down

When it comes to flirting and dating apps, Down is a favourite for young people. This is the Tinder specifically designed for sexual encounters with people close to the user’s location. Google Play has already been awarded more than 1 million downloads and its use continues to expand due to its easy operation.

To go into more detail Down uses the geolocation of the teen’s mobile phone to search for users who are close to him or her and who can establish contact for intimate sexual encounters. Another point against the application is that the people who make life in it have to pay constantly in order to keep talking. So if your child asks you for a lot of money, you should keep an eye out, as this may cause the allowances to go faster than usual.

KiK Messenger

KiK Messenger can be linked a bit to the previous tool. In particular, it allows you to send messages without verifying the identity of the persons issuing the texts and files. By simply creating a user the child or teenager can establish a conversation with people from all over the world. So much is the acceptance of this tool that it already has more than 100 million downloads.

Thanks to the privacy and style of the tool, you don’t have the opportunity to see your child talking to strangers to plan in-person meetings for purposes you wouldn’t like.

Whisper

With more than 5 million downloads on Google, Whisper is an application that allows anyone to express what they don’t say publicly. Secrets, confessions of all kinds and other stories can be found in this tool. If your kids don’t tell you their problems, maybe they’re just venting around here.

But in addition to the typical releases, you have to be very careful with this tool because it also lends itself to negative comments such as events that can happen to threaten the lives of the users themselves and other people.

Poof

The primary purpose of this tool is to track pet activity. However, it has been shown that several children and adolescents use it to send false addresses about where they are. Thus, they can mislead parents about their location in real time to make them believe that they are in a normal place and not in one that is forbidden or not suitable for minors.

Secret and Yik Yak

Both have died but there are still sequels on both platforms. Both allowed anonymous confessions to be made and hundreds of people used them to comment on their racist views of all races, religions, and so on. If you see that your child has a similar application you should ban it immediately and tell him that using it doesn’t bring anything, absolutely nothing good.

The internet connection opens hundreds of doors with explicit content, and that’s where we must be careful to close them on our children’s devices. A weekend chat, with topics that no parent likes to talk about to their children (but that is so necessary), helps in large part to prevent them from downloading adult content or other inappropriate things.

These apps have been listed on the Panda Security blog as “not recommended for children”, although it is clear that there are many more that must always be kept under adult surveillance.
