Applications

Most apps once they are downloaded share the phones unique ID number, the phones location, and the users age and gender.

Track the exact location of the cell phone user at any given time.

Remotely send SMS commands to lock/unlock the cell phone usage or delete call history, photos and videos from the target phone at any time.

Easiest smartphone to hack:CNET an electronic consumer, did a study which revealed that android phones are easier to hack into than apple phones using an IOS system.

When comparing the two phones, the only way to break into an IPhone was if it was jail broken.

However, to hack into an android all you would need is to be linked to the phone through Wi-Fi or Blue-tooth.

Privacy from Cellphone Providers

Service providers like AT&T, Sprint, Verizon, and T-Mobile collect phone data, but don't tell you exactly what data they collect, the reasons they collect it, and their data retention policies.

The information that they collect are all calls made, the numbers that you receive calls from, emails sent, bill copies and much more.

Government

Law enforcement can tap into the locations of smartphones, and ask wireless providers to turn over days worth of location data, and implant tracking devices.

They can also request all the data your smartphone provider has collected about you.
