Google is not doing anything about these hugely popular malicious apps, so just delete them yourself

Here are all the new apps you need to avoid, delete, and never again install on your phone

Just how many different photo editors you need to realize your camera is simply not that great? Aren’t there enough well-established, well-reviewed, and all-around awesome keyboard tools available from respected developers and companies to discourage you from ever trying to find the “next big” alternative? Don’t you have something better to do than download something called “Funny Caller” or “Funny Wallpapers” on your phone?

What is Google even doing?!

For the most part, not much, watching helplessly as malicious titles like the above enter the Play Store and rip off some users before cybersecurity experts flag these apps, at which point many of them disappear without a trace.

No, we’re not going to show you any of the three malicious apps still available… at least until they’re removed.

At least three of the apps listed above, which will remain unnamed for fairly obvious reasons, are in that situation at the time of this writing, running free in everyone’s most trusted Android app store despite having been proven guilty of various egregious money and data-stealing tactics. 

If history is any indication, all of these apps will eventually be terminated, but many others are likely to return, hungrier, more sophisticated, and harder to detect. Alas, these are constant threats you’ll need to learn to live with and protect yourself from sans waiting for a lot of help from Google, starting of course with deleting each and every flagged title you’ll find lurking on your Android device.
