The safest store in the world

It couldn't be any other way. Blackphone, which boasts of being the most secure phone in the world, has announced the creation of its own Apps store. Faithful to its idea of guaranteeing maximum security, thus preserving users' information, the apps that are currently available on the market are market are sold must pass the strict control of Blackphone employees.

A bit in the same style as Apple, Blackphone will force all those who want to offer an App in its store to pass strict security controls. Some of the issues that will be tested before giving the final certificate will have to do with the use that the developers will make of the data that are obtained from each application, if the App in question requests access permissions that are irrelevant for its proper functioning, if they include tracking options… etc. All this so that the end user knows, at all times, What does the App you are going to install do?.

According to an article in the magazine Forbes, Blackphone officials would have made this decision "due to the lack of interest of Google"to improve issues related to security and transparency for its users. It should be remembered that the Blackphone is a device that runs on an operating system Android. Which means that its users can also download Apps from other stores such as the official Google one.

The launch date for this new app store was set for this January, but for the moment it still does not have official access from the Blackphone website. The phone that is said to be the most secure phone in the world went on sale in the middle of last year and its price exceeds 600 euros.
