Increase the use of spy apps among the youngest
Gender-based violence is a problem that we often see in the actual society. An issue that not only manifests itself through physical attacks, but also through distrust, lack of respect, contempt and other forms that make up psychological aggression.

This organization warns of the problem that has brought the arrival of smartphones to the lives of adolescents. The component of Privacy that supposes the existence of passwords to accede to these devices is a source of jealousy since in many occasions the fact of not knowing this data causes that the adolescents think that their pairs hide something.
In this way, the fact of sharing passwords with couples among the youngest is seen as a love Test and trusting the other person when in reality what you are doing is giving up a part of the privacy. Other of these "shows of affection" are seen through the adolescents who demand to watch their messages and call history.
Spy apps: increased use among young people

Situations where a teenager accuses his ex-partner of having used this application to access intimate information without their consent. The worst of all is that these tools do not leave any trace that tells the victim that they carry it on their smartphone.

Never as a method to spy on the privacy of your partner, an act that on the other supposes the violation of one of the fundamental rights of each person.
Getting children to make responsible use of their smartphones is one of the missions that parents must assume when to ease One of these devices to your children.
