It could not be otherwise. Blackphone , which claims to be the safest phone in the world, would have announced the creation of its own app store. True to its idea of guaranteeing maximum security, thus preserving user information, the apps that are sold in this market must pass the strict control of Blackphone employees.
A bit in the same style as Apple, Blackphone will force everyone who wants to offer an App in their store to pass strict security controls. Some of the questions that will be tested before giving the final certificate will have to do with the use that the developers will make of the data obtained from each application, if the App in question asks for irrelevant access permissions for their proper functioning, if they include tracking options … etc. All this so that the end user knows, at all times, what the App to install is doing .
According to an article in the magazine Forbes , those responsible for Blackphone would have made this decision” due to the lack of interest from Google “to improve related issues with security and transparency towards its users. It should be remembered that the Blackphone is a device that works with the Android operating system. Which implies that its users can also download Apps from other stores such as the official Google one.
The date of entry into operation of this new Apps store was set for this month of January, but at the moment it does not yet have official access from the Blackphone website. What they say is the safest phone in the world went on sale in the middle of last year and its price exceeds 600 euros .
