We already know that all apps are not the same when it comes to the benefits they can provide versus any negative consequences of using them — which usually includes battery drainage, taking up data, and compromising our privacy and security. It can often feel like you’re playing a game of compare and contrast to determine whether an app is worth keeping (even if it means having to charge your phone more frequently) versus deleting. That’s where the help of tech experts becomes very valuable. David Bitton, co-founder and CMO of DoorLoop, is well aware of the pros and cons of some of the most popular apps. And these are the three apps that he recommends removing from your phone immediately because they’re taking up so much data.
