AI breakthrough helps detect hidden apps on smartphones

AI breakthrough helps detect hidden apps on smartphones | The Express Tribune

Key takeaways:

Australian researchers have developed a new AI method that can detect hidden "vault" apps on Android phones with up to 98% accuracy.
Vault apps hide files, messages, or even other apps using encryption and often look like normal apps, making them hard to spot.
The new technique uses machine learning and doesn't need a list of known apps to find them, unlike current tools.
This could help police and investigators uncover illegal or suspicious content hidden on smartphones.
Researchers plan to test more AI models, expand their data, and apply the method to non-Android devices in the future.
