Ghost Apps (hidden, also called “volt” apps), Sexting, and Online Predators are the latest things parents of “tweens”/teens have to worry about. I recently hosted a speaking engagement at a local church discussing these issues and tips.
Here are a few of the takeaways (links included):
- Ghost or “Volt” Apps – Search for Calculator% and Best Secret Folder
- Parents: Check Apps Purchased (or downloaded), Check for Redundancy, Get Parent Controls, Start a Conversation (more about that at the bottom)
