Your private information remains in these apps even after deleting, secure them with these settings…

Nowadays smartphones have become an important part of our everyday life. Now their use is not limited to calls or messages only, but we also use smartphones for services like digital payments and banking. Many of our personal information like documents, photos, apps, social media account details and location related information are stored in smartphones. If this information falls into the wrong hands, it can be misused and you may be defrauded.

Many apps, which we install on smartphones, access our personal information by taking permissions related to them. However, even after we uninstall the apps, some apps continue to collect our personal information. Therefore, it is important that you go to your phone's settings from time to time to check which apps have access to your information and remove those permissions.

When we install an app, we allow it to access location, social media files and other documents. But, even after deleting the app, this information remains with the apps, which can put your security at risk. If you want to know which apps are accessing your data, there is an easy way to find out.

Check with these simple steps:

• First of all open your phone's settings.
• Now go to Google Services.
• Here tap on Manage Your Account and proceed.
• After this select Data & Privacy option.
• Then click on History Settings under Web & App Activity.
• Now you will see a list of apps that have your location and other information.
• From here, to remove your information from any app or website, click on it and delete it.
• By following these steps, you can ensure that apps deleted from your phone are not accessing your personal information, and there is no threat to your security.
