On the back of a security breach late last month, Apple this week removed over 300 apps from the App Store after it came to light that the apps were spying on users, collecting users’ e-mail addresses and device serial numbers.
The apps were all using a piece of Chinese ad software called Youmi which was surreptitiously collecting personal information on the side. Apple has now removed all of the affected apps but to be safe, if you have any of these still installed on your iPhone, delete them now.
Here’s a selection of some of the more popular affected apps:
