ShinyHelper is an utility app that includes the following main functions:
- Risky apps analysis helps to check which apps have sensitive permissions like camera, contacts, microphone, location so you can decide if you trust this app
- Email leaks checker helps to see if your Email is inside public hacked databases
- WiFi security helps to check if wifi connection is secure
- Dead pixels function helps to check the screen for dead pixels
IMPORTANT:
1. For the RiskyApps function we require installed apps access permission (QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES). If user doesn't give consent for this function this permission is not used anywhere.
2. Realtime monitoring requires additional permission. It is possible through the special use case of foreground service in a form of widget. This widget not only provides information about the need of using each app function but also checks if newly installed apps are dangerous/potentially risky and need to be checked deeper through the dangerous apps functions.
