Your apps have a nightlife. While you’re sleeping, they’re quietly syncing data, checking your location, refreshing content, talking to ad networks, and sometimes asking for permissions they don’t actually need. In this episode, your Geek breaks down what apps really do in the background, how to tell the harmless from the sneaky, and the simple steps that keep your phone fast, private, and under your control. If you’ve ever wondered why your battery drops overnight—or why Instagram suddenly knows you were near a taco truck—this one is for you.
