Here’s What Could Go Wrong If You Watch Porn On Your Android Smartphone

People watch porn on their phones. It's a fact. In the bathroom, under the covers in the dead of night, maybe even in government assemblies. Apparently there's even some apps around that help your small screen dreams come about a little easier. As with all things good (?) however, there's a few reasons why it might not be such a good idea to indulge in a little erotica via your phone.

Here's why you should avoid watching porn on your android smartphone.

1. It can activate subscriptions leading to unwanted charges

Regardless of it being illegal, certain porn sites can actually activate VAS subscriptions on your phone, such as horoscope packs, dream girl packs, etc. These end up giving you monthly charges ranging from Rs 5 to Rs 35 a month. To stop this, send an SMS by typing "STOP" to 155223 and follow the instruction to deactivate them. Also, avoid using mobile internet to watch porn, if you must.

2. It can lead to displaying fake versions of different apps

Watching porn can activate porn tickers, which basically means when you head to the play store, you might see fake versions of apps like Temple Run and the like. If you click on these, you'll end up downloading a Trojan. Clear your cache frequently and check the credentials of the apps you download.


3. It can cause massive security risks

Watching porn on a phone that's synced with your Gmail ID is a pretty bad idea, and if you've got your banking app on there as well, then it's a massive security risk. It opens you phone up to cybercriminals pretty easily.

4. Your phone could get ransomwares

Randsomwares are a form of malware that some porn sites can put out. It locks your phone down completely, and you are then asked to pay in order to get your phone to function again. All the information in your phone will be available to them, and there's also no guarantee that they'll unlock your phone once you pay.
