Tech Update: Apps do not leave you even after being uninstalled from the phone, they steal data..

After downloading the app from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store, the apps start asking for a lot of permissions including your messages, contacts, and gallery. Unless you give all these permissions to the apps, the apps do not work. We all permit these apps to run the app, but do you know that even after you delete or uninstall these apps from your phone, these apps still have full access to your data?

Today we will explain to you how you can easily find out which app is accessing your data even after deleting it. This is a kind of 'theft' which does not leave the app even after being uninstalled. Let us understand how these apps can be stopped from accessing the data.

Way to avoid it

First of all open the settings of the mobile phone, after this, you have to click on the Google option. After clicking on the Google option, you will have to tap on 'All Services', after this, you will have to click on the Connected Apps option.

After this, you will know the names of all the third-party apps with whom you have shared data, in this list you will also see the names of those apps which you have uninstalled from the phone.

Example: The first name in our list was Asphalt 8, we have deleted this app from the phone but still the name of this app is visible in this list. To prevent this app from accessing our data, we clicked on the name of the app.

After this you have to click on Delete All Connections, after this in the next step, you will have to tap on Confirm. You will have to follow this process one by one for all the apps which you have removed from the phone.
