An app with the icon of a calculator is reportedly being used by teenagers to hide incriminating images on their phone from their parents.
A mother made a video explaining how the app works to warn other parents about it and the message has been shared widely online.
Pamela Casey explains how the app looks like an innocent icon on the child’s phone but is designed to keep photographs private.
She then instructs parents on how to unlock the app and access the pictures their children might be hiding. The app is known as Calculator %.
On the Itunes website the programme describes its purpose: “Private Photo (Calculator%) app is private photos and videos hidden behind calculator. Anyone who starts this application looks at a calculator but if you put in passcode it will open up private area. All files are securely stored in the App and remain completely private and confidential.”
