From Huawei to Samsung, Android smartphones are some of the most popular smartphones around the world.
But if you have an Android smartphone, a new report may urge you to reassess which apps you have installed.
Google has removed 813 ‘creepware’ apps from the Google Play Store that could have been used to stalk, harass, defraud or threaten users.
Researchers from New York University, Cornell Tech and NortonLifeLock developed an algorithm called CreepRank to analyse the apps.
They ran the algorithm against apps installed on more than 50 million Android smartphone to determine if any contained creepware.
