Beware of Fake Calculator Apps

There are apps on the app stores that hide other apps by masking themselves to look like a calculator. These are known as fake calculator apps or calculator vault apps.  You can manually check for these apps on your child’s phone through various methods.  Checking the app memory size will help determine if there is a larger hidden app behind it, such as a social media app or worse – a dating or chat app.  Calculators shouldn’t be any larger than 30 MB in size.
