'Betwee­n' is a passwo­rd-protec­ted app and is never availa­ble to more than two people at any one time.

 

SEOUL: A smartphone app that caters mainly for bashful Asian lovers has recorded a million downloads since its launch last November, and now the developers are eyeing new markets.

 

Between, available on iPhones and Android-equipped models, offers privacy for couples.

As the smartphone industry continues to grow, so does privacy concerns, but one new application might be putting an end to it.

 

So, the team created SRT AppGuard, which shows the user for each application installed on a smartphone what information it accesses.

"Most of us have a few photos or even videos on our Android smartphones that we’d rather keep private. Whether they’re a bit racy, potentially incriminating, or just plain embarrassing, it’s probably a good idea to hide them from prying eyes. The good news is you can find Android apps to hide your photos and videos.

While the free Find My iPhone app can remotely wipe the data on a lost or stolen iPhone or iPad, a pair of $2 apps prevent prying eyes from viewing contact info and other sensitive information on an iPad or iPhone without having to erase everything.

Users can set a time period for how long a recipient can view a message before it becomes unrecoverable, according to Wickr's creators...

 

"Wickr, released on Wednesday, addresses the raft of privacy concerns that arise when a person sends a sensitive message: email providers, ISPs, mobile phone companies and social networking sites all retain detailed records of activity on their networks."

Privacy, please: we're sexting...

 

The app highlights the best elements of social networking — the warm, fuzzy feeling of being connected to people you care about when you're physically nowhere near them. And it says it eliminates some of the worst — the worry about who can see the content you're posting and how they may interpret it.
