The Medienpädagogischer Forschungsverbund Südwest (mpfs) has listed the most important apps for young people in the recently published JIM study 2018. Handysektor took a look at the 10 most popular apps and tested them in detail. In addition, there is a large material package with infographics, videos on the most important privacy settings and simple summaries of the app terms of use.

WhatsApp, Instagram and Co. - Top10 apps under the magnifyingglass
How is my favorite app operated correctly? What about data security? And what hidden settings are there? Handysektor answers these and many other questions in detailed tests of the top 10 apps. Even successful apps such as Snapchat, YouTube and Instagram have downsides that are specifically pointed out. Screencasts clearly present the most important functions and provide tips on how to use the apps responsibly. An infographic summarizes the funniest and most bizarre fun facts about the apps.  

Terms of use explained simply
General terms and conditions, data protection statements, terms of service - hardly any users read through the important documents. Peppered with legal terminology, it is not only difficult for young people to understand these texts. Handysektor helps and summarizes important points of the terms and conditions of the most popular communication apps in the new series "Terms of use in brief". Readers are given an overview of the minimum age, security aspects and data protection regulations.

Privacy videos show the most important settings
The issue of privacy plays an important role in almost all popular apps. But the security and privacy settings are well hidden or awkwardly described in some apps. As part of the extensive material package on the Top10 apps, Handysektor shows and explains the most important settings in a video collection.
