In previous years, cell phones have evolved into something people keep attached to their sides daily. It has turned into a daily routine to plug in your phone so you can still use it throughout the day without it dying. How this may affect the views people have on us may not just be on the outside, but inside the phone.
As apps become smarter with coding and development, they also have the ability to take a look at what you have done within their app and sometimes see you through your own camera. Apps like Snapchat, which is based around a smart phone’s camera, may actually see you more than you think.

What if you knew every time you opened an app, someone was behind another screen looking at you? Would you still want to use that app as part of your daily routine? It could happen to anybody at any moment, and we would never know it was going on.

People of all ages use phones, whether it be to watch cartoons or transfer money from your bank accounts. Our phones and their apps know a lot about us, and that can be scary to see how much they know. For certain phones, it knows where you live without you even typing in the address or it can tell you how far you are from home just by seeing your address. This can either be good or bad depending on how you see it.

Although some apps are meant to know what you like, that doesn’t mean each one on your phone should. For example, some music apps save what you recently played and generates a list of songs that you may like. Or, if you follow the same people as someone else on a social media app, the app may tell you who you might know.

Phones are progressing quickly, and we should take note of the small things that may go on within the technology before we assume we have complete privacy. This invasion of privacy counts toward something for most people. Specify the government rule, if possible. It’s a bit too broad to be fully reliable without a specific citation.

Everyone should make sure they know what apps can and can’t see before they go on it every single day.
