I think they are, but you should read the reviews and I don't see where a flash light app should ever need to know your location unless same app has compass built in. I have used Flashlight-x for a couple of years now with no problems.

hope this helps

Are flashlight apps safe

Not impossible, but highly unlikely. Google 'problems with XXXX' where XXXX is the name of the app to get more info.
FWIW, I have the 'Brightest Flashlight' app on my Android phone, and it works fine.

Is the flashlight app for my smart phone spyware?

no. android has issues with flashlight apps but iOS apps are built differently and are each verified by apple before they are added to the apple store and the iPhone. apple also restricts access from the app to very specific systems, there an app declared to use the flash cannot sac accsess the microphone without you granting it permission

IEMI NO : 356256047075773 ..PHONE IS ASKING SECURITY NO WHEN STARTING THE PHONE AND INSERTING OTHER SIM CARD.

hi there!

if that is your phone, you need to remember the security code you put on it, if you dont want asking you for a security code each time you need to put a different simcard, you can turn off security code on the phone's menu (depends on what model you have), look for security settings, turn off security code (but again, it will ask you for the security code to be able to turn that off).

hello! so you mean you are trying to locate your phone security number? the best thing that you should do is to go first to your phone setting and try relocating it and default your phone security. in that way, it will allow your security no. to be turn off.
