And if you want nobody to find you in real life, you can fake your GPS location with these apps.

Privacy scanner is another anti-tracking app that has many additional functions. However, the app does not have the feature to protect users from malicious software because its main function is to find out spywares and parental control apps.

The app design is dark and gloomy, and it is a disadvantage. But for the rest, it is quite easy to use too.
