You may think you know all of the apps that are crushing your battery power and snatching your data. But there are a few super popular apps that are likely not on your radar and are as worthy of your attention as Facebook or Facebook Messenger (worse, maybe, because at least you expect social media apps to be taxing on your device). The more you know about the apps that are stalling your phone or compromising your security, the better. And this is the popular app tech experts say you shouldn’t have on your iPhone because it shares your data.
MinecraftIt may seem like an innocent and fun distraction. But Minecraft is one such app that was surprisingly sending user data to its servers and third-party servers, according to Daniela Sawyer, Founder and Business Development Strategist of FindPeopleFast.net.
“The game app was found to send the data to AppsFlyer, which is a mobile analytics organization,” Sawyer says. “Microsoft, the company behind Minecraft, has no clear indication regarding this behavior, and the support staff also do not comment on this matter. When these apps share our data in such a secret manner, many questions arise regarding their intention and credibility. The data transmitted can be used in several ways that may be harmless as well as harmful.”
