Have you got a flashlight app on your phone?

I cannot speak for the truth of this , I got it in an email.

It is up to others to decide what they think and what they do.

True. Most flash light apps as well as so many other spps are spy and/or malware. You can open any app and see all its capabilities. Theres no reason to install and keep a bad app when checking all it does is as easy as installing was.

Hmmm, I use the Motorla Droid Light app, pretty sure thats not malware.

I agree, just about every app I read the details on lately wants to use all functionality of your phone. I don't like the part about using your camera and microphone as that means if you are naked and your phone is facing you .... well ummmm ... yeah, I don't like that at all.

The updated IOS for iPhone has one built in.

Just get a trusted permission manager app that allows you to disable any unauthorized function that another app may try to get access. They really do work.

My GS5 has a security feature on it that warns me about 'dangerous' apps, or it will pop occasionally about apps that it doesn't like... and I have to approve updates an additional time to let them update.

Don't think this is much of a problem on IOS... Apple doesn't like apps that control other apps...But Ill keep an eye open.

Doesn't everyone carry a Surefire 6PX Pro in a holster on their belts?

I have Android Kit Kat on my GS3 and it already has a built in flash light feature. No need to download a flash light app.

I had a flashlight widget on mine rather than an app. Took a bit of effort to uninstall it. I went back to the Google store to look it up but it wasn't there anymore, so no idea what it might have had control of.

Huh... turns out Assistive Light was part of the Android OS. I didn't remember that. It reappeared after deleting it.

True Blonde Alert:

I downloaded a mirror app, which lets you use your phone like a mirror to check your makeup, teeth, etc. I actually marveled at such a keen and useful invention, until I realized that the camera on my phone already acts as a mirror when I put it in selfie mode.
