Wireless charging has some advantages over wired ones like convenience and no wear and tear, but Yan cautions that wired charging should be preferred for long-term use.
“Wireless charging produces extra heat and relatively slow charging as compared to a wired one,” Yan says. “In general, a wireless charger takes 30-80% more time than a wired one to charge a phone completely. Thus, for excellent battery life, opt for wired charging.”
Unfortunately, there are several apps that function similarly to FM Radio-Internet Radio and are posing a danger to your phone, despite seeming innocent enough.
According to Yan, some other similar apps which are also a potential threat to your iPhone are:
**Video Editor- Mute video.
**BMI calculator-BMR calc.
**Easy Contacts Backup Manager.
**Cricone - Live cricket scores.
Smart GPS Speedometer is another app that you should immediately delete upon finding on your iPhone, says Harriet Chan, co-founder of CocoFinder. “Its function is to display the current speed on a digital/analog speedometer, keep track of top and average speed and track your journey live on a map,” Chan says.
The GPS Speedometer app contains a malicious clicker trojan module that can generate fraudulent ads, steal information, or open a back door, according to Chan. “The app generates ad-fraud tasks in the background, such as clicking links and opening web pages without interaction,” Chan says. “As a result, it generates revenue for operators in addition to sending device and location information and some user data to external connections. All these happen with a level of sophistry sufficient to outwit a security research lab however, similar apps are available in the app store, for example, Speedtest Master and MapMyWalk by Under Armour.”
Bottom line: deleting Facebook will help your phone, for sure, but keeping a few under-the-radar malicious apps on your list of ones to get rid of may be even more important.
