Remove 7 spying apps from the Google Play Store

Researchers investigating the security risks of security firm Avast's mobile have discovered 7 spy applications on the Google Play Store.
All these apps were made by a Russian developer. These apps were used to spy on their target. Google gradually removed all these apps. By the time they were removed, these apps were installed a total of 30,000 times.
Two of these apps were installed fifty-five thousand times.
All these apps were meant to keep track of users' own children and employees. With these apps, users could view their target location, collect their data and view SMS or call history. All it needed to do was install the app on the target mobile.


Once installed on the target phone, the detective could erase all app installation traces. The icon of this app did not appear or the notification was not displayed on the target phone.
Nicolas Chryseidos of Avast says that these applications were unethical and difficult for consumer privacy; they should not be on the Google Play Store. They could promote criminal behavior. Violent life partners could spy on their target. They said they rank such apps as stalkerware and detect such apps from apklab.io and Google removes them from the Play Store.
