1.DUCK DUCK GO PRIVACY BROWSER[br][br]

[br][br]DuckDuckGo Search has made positive waves among the security and privacy crowd. It's a search engine similar to Google, Bing, or Yahoo. However, its claim to fame is that it doesn't track your search history. That means you don't have to worry about a company looking at what you search for. The app works well enough. It has some ads, but they're not bad. It'll also compile some news for you if you'd like. It doesn't get grouped in with security apps very often. However, it's great for those who want to search in privacy.[br][br]2. FIND MY DEVICE BY GOOGLE[br][br][br]

[br][br][br]Find My Device by Google used to be Android Device Manager. The name changed. However, the app still does the same thing. It tracks the location of your phone. The app can also play sounds for easier finding. It can erase your device, show a message, and remotely lock your phone as well. There are other find my phone apps with more features. However, this one is entirely free with no advertising and no in-app purchases. That makes it a good option for security apps. This app is pre-installed on most of Infinix devices[br][br]3.GLASSWIRE[br][br][br]

[br][br]GlassWire is one of the newer security apps. It lets you see what apps are consuming your data. You get a live graph that shows how much data your apps are consuming. Additionally, you'll get alerts to let you know when a new app is sucking down some data. This is a great way to see how much data each of your apps is using. It's also a great way to see any strange activity that may be happening in the background. Its main use is to make sure you don't hit your data cap. Still, seeing a random app you don't know about grabbing something from the web can be extremely telling.[br][br]4. HAVEN[br][br][br]

[br][br]Haven is one of the newer security apps for Android. It lets you turn a second device into a security device. It works by alerting you whenever the security device is disturbed. So, for instance, if you leave it in your luggage and someone moves your luggage, the app will let you know. It can also record sounds with the microphone, detect changes in light (say someone opened your luggage), and detect power loss if the device is plugged in. The app is totally free right now. It's also in beta. Thus, expect bugs. Otherwise, it's actually a pretty nice little app.[br][br]5. RESILIO[br][br]

[br][br]Resilio Sync lets you create your own cloud storage. The computer version turns your regular, everyday computer into a cloud storage server. The app then helps you sync files between your PC and phone or tablet. Think of it like Google Drive or Dropbox, except you know exactly where your files are at all times. This is great for more sensitive data. It's also great for those who don't trust online cloud storage, but still want the versatility of having it. The app is easy, even for beginners. It's also entirely free. It's one of the most underrated security apps.[br][br]
