Protect Your Phone with These Privacy Apps (2025 Edition!)

What’s up S’mores! Today for Day 13 of my 30-Day Security Challenge, we’re locking down your smartphone with privacy-conscious apps that actually protect your data in 2025.

We’re covering:
🔐 Secure messaging apps (Signal!)
🌐 Privacy-focused browsers (Brave, Firefox Focus, Ghostery)
🛡 VPNs that keep your traffic encrypted (ProtonVPN + WireGuard tips!)

Your apps reveal so much about you – let’s make sure they’re not leaking your data to advertisers, trackers, or sketchy companies.
Grab the full free checklist + daily recap at ➜ ShannonRMorse.com
