GlassWire for Android is now available and FREE in the Google Play store<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Millions of our GlassWire for Windows users have been asking for GlassWire on their mobile phones so they can see what their phones are doing over the network.  We worked long and hard to create this first version of GlassWire for Android that’s 100% free with no in-app purchases or ads.<\/p>\n

Our brand new Android app lets you instantly see which apps are wasting your data, acting suspiciously, slowing your phone\u2019s Internet speed, or causing you to go over your carrier data limits. GlassWire for Android makes it easy to keep track of your mobile carrier data usage and WiFi Internet activity.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Key features:<\/b>
\n\u2022 See a live graph of what apps are currently using your carrier data, or slowing your Internet connection.
\n\u2022 Instantly know every time a new app accesses the network and begins using your data.
\n\u2022 Go back in time with GlassWire\u2019s graph to see what apps wasted your data earlier in the week or month.
\n\u2022 GlassWire\u2019s data alerts help keep you under your data limit. Get alerted before you reach your carrier data limit to avoid costly overage fees.
\n\u2022 GlassWire reveals unusual network activity from unknown apps or malware that could be violating your privacy or spying on you.
\n\u2022 GlassWire counts your mobile carrier data (Edge, 3G, 46, 5G, LTE, CDMA, UMTS, GSM, GPRS, mobile hotspots) and shows you detailed usage statistics on GlassWire\u2019s \u201cUsage\u201d screen, along with your WiFi data. See your mobile phone provider data for AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, T-mobile, Virgin, Vodafone, Orange, EE, 3, Swisscom, Telia, Movistar, O2, and all others.
\n\u2022 See data usage for different apps like Snapchat, Facebook, Twitter, Pokemon Go, Netflix, Youtube, Instagram, Pandora, Spotify, Pinterest, Whatsapp, Skype, Kik, and any other apps you use.<\/p>\n

Why did we make GlassWire for Android?<\/b>
\nWe wanted an easy way to see what Android apps were using all our expensive mobile data, slowing our Internet connection, or behaving suspiciously.
\nOur company already makes a popular GlassWire application for Windows that helps people protect their PCs from online threats by visualizing their network activity. We wanted a similar network monitoring application for our own Android phones but we were shocked to find a lot of the data usage apps we tested sent quite a bit of data over the network themselves.
\nWe wondered why these apps that claimed to help people stay under their data limits would send network data themselves.<\/p>\n

Why do many free \u201cData Usage\u201d apps use data themselves?<\/b>
\nWe discovered a lot of these free data usage collection apps exist solely to collect your personal app usage data to sell to advertisers or other app developers. We did not want to use a data usage app that was logging details about every app we use to share it with third parties. In what database was our private app usage data being stored, and what if that database was hacked or made public? To make matters worse, we found that at least one of these applications collected personally identifiable information.<\/p>\n

Is your current \u201cData Usage\u201d app tracking you?<\/b>
\nDo you want your phone app usage logged in a database then linked to your identity so others can see details about how you use your phone every day? We didn\u2019t want that either. Check the privacy policy of the data usage app you currently use by going to their Google Play app page \u201cprivacy policy\u201d.<\/p>\n

GlassWire is a data usage app that helps protect your privacy.<\/b>
\nYour GlassWire data usage and app usage information never leaves your phone. We could not see or access your app usage even if we wanted to. Plus, we\u2019re not an advertising or marketing company. We only make money through sales of premium versions of our software.<\/p>\n

This is the first version of our mobile software and we are already working on adding new features.  Thanks for your previous support with our Windows software and we hope you’ll give our new Android app a try.<\/p>\n
