What are modded apps?
Modded apps are the cracked version of the original apps which allow you some special features which you are exempted from the actual version of the apps. They may give you some extra control over the services of the app or they may give free access to the services which you may get charged if you were using the original application. For example: If you are playing a game which have in game currency in it, then if you have installed a modded version of the games then you have unlimited in game currency and many extra features in it. Yes! it is fun, so why you should not use the modded apps?
Why you should not use the modded apps?
- Privacy concerns
Using any app which is available outside the playstore is not good for your privacy, There is a good chance that your data is being breached, Because they do not have to follow any rules like the apps which are installed from the play store the app store or from any other verified sources.
Though they look same as the previous app, it does not mean their working are same. They have a whole lot going different from inside. Noone over the net is sitting you to provide you the free fun, they are gonna charge you in one or the other way. And by this I mean your data, they can use their data in many ways no need to mention here you all better know.
- Google play store policy violations
All the modded apps are not available on the legit sites, they are only available over some xyz sites and obviously do not follow any google's policy.
