It is true that years ago there were known applications that to a certain extent "spy" on WhatsApp contacts by showing a history of connection hours, even if they had the visibility of this status disabled. Today the security of the application has improved and this type of app is not reliable. Even the ones that seem to work throw some error and even show false data in order to make the user believe that the tool works.

Indeed, these apps available in the App Store are a scam that only seeks to capture your data and/or generate income at the expense of promising functions that later do not work as expected. Therefore, if you had in mind to try any of them, get rid of it because you will not be able to achieve the objective.

Apple does not take long to eliminate them

You are probably wondering how Apple allows applications of this type to sneak into its app store, especially when the company boasts of having the most secure store. Well, the truth is that Apple does not allow it for several reasons, the most obvious being that it affects the privacy and security of the user who accesses them, since it puts their personal and payment data at risk. On the other hand, it is not within the regulations of the App Store to offer applications that promise functions of this type, even more so if they do not work on top.

Developers try to find backdoors to the App Store, including terms of use that allow them to do so. However, Apple observers are usually alerted to it right away and it is not long from when they are published until they are removed.
