In today's digital age, cell phones actually represent us as individuals, and our phones invariably have a large number of APP applications installed on them.

List of mobile apps

Almost every app is a reminder that three pieces of information are required: cell phone location, cell phone device information and app information, and cell phone address book and call information. Some apps will offer you the option to choose whether you want to provide this information during installation, and if you don't agree, you can still install it, but when you use it, it will pop up the option of this information and ask you to agree to it, or else the app won't be able to use it. Other apps are simply unable to install once you choose not to agree.

However, many APPs have big data analytics, and these APPs can easily analyze our personal property, personality, and behavioral habits through our operations on these APPs. In fact, the data generated by the APPs we often use may know more about ourselves than we do, such as the consumption records generated by Alipay every year. So when we use APPs, we should open as few permissions to APPs as possible to ensure our information security. Here are some of the lessons I've learned about downloading and using apps

Because I'm so worried about my phone being implanted with Trojan horses by these apps, I have to use antivirus software to kill them every time I install a new app. But I'm still not sure if my information is being compromised because even though I don't agree with some of the apps that are collecting my device and app information, location information, and phone records, I can still see the products I've just purchased on Taobao or Jingdong in some of the product recommendations that pop up on these apps. Therefore, I personally feel that the APP has actually made us transparent, and it is difficult to safeguard our personal privacy.

For how to install a new APP, according to my experience, first of all, we still need to see if this APP is necessary for you, if it is necessary, then it is better to download it through the cell phone's app store when installing this APP, and it is better not to install the APP through the link sent by other people because even if it is sent by an acquaintance, because he himself may be sent by other people, he is not very clear about this APP, and he may not know how to install it. He is not very clear about whether the link is poisonous or not. And most of the Trojan viruses nowadays are brought through this kind of installation link program.

Secondly, if you have no choice but to use the link to install, it is recommended that you use an antivirus program on your phone right before you install it to prevent the installation of a Trojan horse. In addition then use antivirus software to kill the virus to try after the first registration and use.

Third, in the first installation process for all the requirements of the APP to obtain cell phone information do not agree, will be ticked to agree to remove all the places to see if the installation can be installed, really can not be the case and then ticked to agree to the location of the information, contact information, but the cell phone device information and cell phone information and the information of the application installed on the best do not agree.

Fourth, you can authorize the app yourself. Open your phone's settings, select "Apps", and find "Permission Management" as shown below:

Select "Authorization Management" for the app

After entering the app, find the app you want to authorize. After entering to find the authorization you want to this APP, due to the big manufacturers of APP relatively formal a lot, you can selective authorization, so we take the big manufacturers of APP as an example, such as Baidu APP you only want to authorize "storage" and "location" information, then you can set up the following picture.

Fifth, of course, if the AP is not often used, it is recommended to delete it immediately after use. Because this can reduce the memory occupied by the phone, and the second can reduce the risk of these APP in the phone.

Of course, the relevant government departments have been regulating the APP, for those who violate the mandatory collection of our personal information APP in the rectification. In the "National APP personal information protection supervision meeting" held on the 27th, the relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology introduced the current APP personal information protection related work. Up to now, the total number of APPs on the shelves in China has exceeded 3.5 million, and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has completed the technical testing of 440,000 APPs with high user utilization rates in domestic mainstream application stores, ordered 1,336 illegal APPs to carry out rectification, publicly notified 377 APPs whose rectification was not in place, and removed 94 APPs from shelves that refused to rectify.
