Social Media, Communication, and Keeping Things Hidden on your Mobile Phone
A Guide for Children of Abusive Parents, People in Abusive Relationships, or Other Situations Where Your Privacy, Safety, and/or Health are Compromised
××ANDROID VERSION××
THE FIRST THING YOU WILL DO BEFORE ANYTHING IS DOWNLOAD DUCKDUCKGO AND PUT ANY LINK OR QUESTION I GIVE YOU INTO DUCKDUCKGO. DO NOT USE CHROME.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
1. Hiding Apps and Other Media
2. Communicating Privately
3. Monitoring When Your Phone is Searched
4. Safety, Emergencies, and Recording
1. Hiding Apps and Other Media
Superlock
PROS:
• Is used to store, run, and hide apps, pictures, videos, etc.
• Free with ads.
• Can also be used to store social media information.
• Icon can be changed to hide app's nature on surface level.
• Will take photos of anyone who attempts to enter the app and uses the wrong password.
CONS:
• The lock screen is not hidden or disguised. If app is opened, youre fucked.
Hide It Pro
PROS:
• Is used to store, run, and hide apps, pictures, videos, etc.
• Disguised lock screen, even if the app is found and opened, the opener will have no idea what it is.
CONS:
• You will need to install root for the hide app function to operate. How do I install root?
• Many of the plugins don't work, but honestly we didn't need them in the first place.
2. Communicating Privately
On each and every one of these apps, remember to hide them in one of the before mentioned apps.
Email
Protonmail
PROS:
Encrypted (and password protected if you wish) emails.
CONS:
This wont hide anything illegal. Don't try it.
Online Chat Programs
Discord
PROS:
Two Factor Authetication.
If you change your password from one source, you will log yourself out on all other sources.
You can close chats, and in my experience most older adults dont know how to reopen them, but people my own age mostly do.
CONS:
No way of hiding chats if you are in an abusive relationship with somebody your age.
If you do run away, legally I am not encouraging you to run away, Discord will work with police to give them any plans you made over Discord.
Telegram
PROS:
Two factor authetication.
Encrypted messaging.
If you do need to discuss something that a messaging app like discord wont protect you from, Telegram will.
CONS:
Because you can look up someones number and find their account, I recommend pairing this with TextNow.
Calling and Texting
TextNow
PROS:
Free texting service.
Needs wifi.
CONS:
Will lose number if you dont text for two weeks unless you buy the subscription (its only $5 a year, to be fair).
3. Monitoring When Your Phone Is Searched
Who touched my phone?
This app will monitor who tries and fails and succeeds to get into your phone. As well as taking pictures of and tracking the apps that are accessed and how they are used.
4. Safety, Emergencies, and Recording
Noonlight
A simple press and hold emergency app, if you are safe once you let go, put in your code, if you are not, let the timer run out or if your phone is taken, they can push the "not an emergency" button and police will still be dispatched.
