Email

Dropbox
\n<\/b>Another app that could contain sensitive documents or files \u2014 again, whether they are related to your personal or professional life \u2014 is Dropbox.

Social Media Apps
\n<\/b>Social media applications like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram are worth locking on your device.
