These invasive iOS and Android apps should not be in your smartphone right now since experts claim they track your sensitive details at a high rate. Right now, various gadget developers are already making efforts to prevent app developers from releasing their applications without disclosing the information they will track. 

Previously, Apple effectively explained how an app tracks your online activities. The iPhone maker's new advertisement was a part of its "Privacy. That's iPhone" ad campaign. In this video, there is a man doing his daily routine. 

In each scene, you can see him using a common app that facilitates everything. These include going to a coffee shop or taking a taxi. As the ad goes on, the main actor was slowly surrounded by other people who represent the current invasive apps. 

At the end of Apple's latest advertisement, the man used the company's new App Tracking Transparency (ATT) feature to delete all of them before they can even track all of his personal data.
