list of apps recommended to lock?

Avast Mobile Security Avast Mobile Security for Android

Hi there,
is there a list of the apps which are recommended to lock?
I was wondering because a friend told me, that on his android (4.4) phone, Avast free mobile security
recommends WhatsApp for locking.
That might be a good idea anyway :wink: but I have never seen WhatsApp as recommended to lockā€¦
(I only know of ā€˜settingsā€™ and ā€˜google play storeā€™

That seems a bit suspicious to me.
Is there any version that recommends WhatsApp to lock?

Has anyone ever seen WhatsApp as ā€˜recommended to lockā€™?

Thanks

Hi Pater72, yes, we have list of apps, which should contain sensitive data (Dropbox, Whatsapp, Facebook, etcā€¦ ). And we havenā€™t any limitation to app version. You have probably ticked ā€œDisable advisory notificationsā€ in Mobile Security Settings (or in Notification Center in newest AMS version, which will be released this week). And this notification is triggered only on install or app update. If you reinstall desired app and delete AMS data, notification should appear :).

Hi Hermansky,

thank you for the explanation.
I tried it with my phone, and yes, there was a notification after installing WhatsApp :slight_smile:

There was a certain misunderstanding: I thougth WhatsApp is marked as ā€˜recommended to lockā€™ in the app-manager, which is not the case.
It seems a bit inconsistent to me, but at least I understand now what my friend told me and donā€™t have to worry.
