False Calculators

Calculator vaults are sneakier versions of HIP. They pretend to be calculator apps, when they’re really hiding places for videos and photos.

Usually, you just have to type the right passcode into the “calculator,” and the app unlocks. Calculator% was one of the best examples, and was removed from the App Store, although many still remain.

Parents should be wary of apps that are imitating native functions – phones have a calculator app, there’s no reason to download another simple calculator. Again, it’s all about the deception.
