Aside from the obvious ones, like anything porn-related or secret messaging apps like Telegram. Is Reddit an automatic red flag? How about Instagram and TikTok? They could be used innocently, but are often a vessel for porn or manosphere content. Conversely, are there any green flag apps that you are happy to see on a man's phone?

I am personally uncomfortable with Instagram, Tiktok, and Snapchat - if I find out he is following "empowered" women - the oops you can see my ass through my pants type - I get the ick.
Green flags would be apps about cooking recipes, grocery store discounts, learning something (like languages or fixing stuff).
I have come to the conclusion that most apps are a red flag on men's phones. Even the innocent calculator can be a front for unsavoury stuff. I have seen sports apps misused to follow scantily clad snowboarders, Pinterest, twitch, Reddit. When it comes to men there are multiple ways they can hide their depravity. I'm nearly 50 and I've seen it all. The only men you can probably trust are those that give you their phone to look stuff up. Even then don't be surprised if they have a burner phone for their real activities. Today I just read that 70000 men in Germany have been caught on Telegram, swapping ways to rape women. Fml
Snapchat

Here is where my lack of tech savvy can benefit me. I’m in my late 30s and have never cared to learn about or download many apps.
I have never had Snapchat or TikTok. Until I read about Telegram on this forum, I’d never heard of it.
If an app is newfangled and popular among Gen Z, then there’s a 98% chance a scrote will use it for nefarious purposes.
Feeld or other fetishsites. Anything related to crypto. I have Telegram in case Whatsapp dies (main communication app here). I have tiktok for cat memes. Men without social media are hiding stuff. They always have a hidden account. One scrote even taunted me how he had blocked me prior to the date. Wtf.
