List of Useless Apps
This time, we will discuss 10 applications that are useless and better avoided. Here are some of them:
Fake Fingerprint Scanner App

Many applications claim to be able to scan your fingerprint and lock your phone. In fact, these applications are just animations and do not actually read your fingerprint. What is the function? Nothing! It's better to just use the phone's built-in features.
Super Fast Charger App

Have you ever seen an app that claims to make your phone charge faster? It's just a gimmick! Charging speed is determined by your phone's charger and hardware, not the app. Of course, this kind of app can actually drain your battery and make your phone heat up quickly.
Ghost Detector App

It's kind of scary, huh? But this app is actually just a random sound and image generator that makes you think there's a ghost around. There's no sophisticated technology that can actually detect spirits.
X-Ray Scanner Application

If there is an application that claims to be able to see the inside of a person's body or an object with an X-ray, uninstall it immediately! Your phone doesn't have X-ray technology, so this application only creates fake visual effects that are useless.
Instant Battery Saver App

Many apps promise to extend battery life with just one click. In fact, most of these apps run in the background and actually drain your battery faster.
Free Money App or Game Diamond Generator

Don't be fooled by apps that claim to give you free money or diamonds in your favorite games. Most of these apps are scams that can steal your personal data.
Lie Detector App

Wondering whether your friend is lying or not? Unfortunately, this application is just a gimmick that displays random results. There is no sophisticated AI technology that can detect lies just from voice or touch.
Magic Mirror App
![Useless app](https://storage.googleapis.com/cdn.vcgamers.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/images-35_ladIavwC0Q.jpeg)
Some apps claim to turn your phone into a mirror with magical features. In fact, these apps only display the front camera with certain effects. It's no different than using your phone's built-in camera.
Paid Flashlight App
![Useless app](https://storage.googleapis.com/cdn.vcgamers.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/images-36_kAvI9msx0v.jpeg)
The built-in flashlight on your phone is more than enough. But there are still flashlight apps that ask for strange access like contacts or location and even ask for payment. There is no point in paying for a feature that is actually free.
Fake MP3 Music Player App
![Useless app](https://storage.googleapis.com/cdn.vcgamers.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/images-26_HyfXULMy23.jpeg)
Many music player apps claim to be able to play songs offline, but they are just empty apps that ask you to download songs manually. It's better to use official apps like Spotify or YouTube Music which is clearly of high quality.
Instead of filling your phone's memory with useless applications, it's better to install applications that are truly useful. Choose applications that can support productivity, entertainment, or even help you play your favorite games!
