Keep Your Apps to a Minimum

We’ve all been guilty of downloading and keeping apps in case we need them in the future. However, that day almost never comes, which is why it’s recommended to have only a minimal number of apps on your iPhone.

Doing this will actually bring you a lot of benefits. For starters, your iPhone’s storage will decrease, which might help with battery life and performance. And, of course, using only applications that you trust will help you feel safer when using your iPhone.

In addition, the NSA recommends that you only download apps from official app stores. Granted, this mostly affects Android users and iPhone users in the European Union. However, the rest of us need to be careful with the type of apps we trust. Try to download apps from reputable companies like Trello or Evernote.

Moreover, when you find an app you like, you can scroll to the bottom of the App Store page and see a section called Data Linked to You, which shows the data that may be collected by the app.
