Howdy folks, I recently saw some disturbing info from the Chinanada Communist Plague regarding tracking everyone's mobile devices...not at all for malicious intent 
...and it made me really start to think about security options for the mobile life. The best security obviously is just ditch the junk which I am now also considering. But while I am using it, I thought why not post some suggestions on security apps. If you have any suggestions please feel free to post them. I have android junk, not interested in ipad or iphone for me personally but if you think it's worth mentioning for those that use it then by all means offer your thoughts.
For Android, so far what I have found that I think is pretty decent is...
-Antispy detector free to scan your devices for spyware
-Roboshadow which scans for unsecured open ports and device scanning
-Proton VPN but you need to make a protonmail account
-and last night I looked at Teleguard which does all messaging, calls video stuff through heavily encrypted swiss based servers
I haven't used Teleguard yet, I still want to learn more about it first, and I have a few other apps that I prefer because under the more info section they don't use any special permissions. To me that's a big deal, there's no reason why say a calculator should need access to phone dialer or things irrelevant to a calculator. I try to avoid any software that I can't in common sense see why it needs access to things irrelevant to it's purpose. Too many people don't look into those details and just give these data collectors everything about their personal life and privacy. Any suggestions on things like device to device secure messegngers, or email, anything that you can think of for extra security measures for everyone post it up.
