App Hider and Ghost app: popular services used by teenagers for hiding apps

Teenagers are very smart today and, to get around parental control, they use specific applications to hide files and unapproved content. These apps generally look like calculators and can be used as such. However, they have other functions, like hiding files. Good examples of these are iCalculator . Teenagers use them as hiding places and they are a good way of diverting parents’ attention to the inappropriate content, messages pictures, videos, and applications they may have. They can also be used to rename applications and change their icons. Additionally, these ghost apps work with passwords that only the owner knows and sets.
