Consumer Digital Privacy Researcher & Smartphone Security Writer
About Samuel Smith
Samuel Smith is a consumer technology writer and digital privacy researcher focused on helping everyday people protect their smartphones and personal data. He started Infurpose after noticing how much confusing, jargon-heavy content existed around phone security — and how little was written for the person who just wants a straight answer.
His work covers the practical side of digital privacy: detecting spy apps, auditing app permissions, securing phone accounts, spotting stalkerware, and understanding what your phone is actually sharing without your knowledge. Everything at Infurpose is written for people who are worried — not for IT professionals.
What Samuel Covers
- Spyware and stalkerware detection on iPhone and Android
- App permission audits — what apps can access and how to stop them
- Phone account security — protecting your Apple ID, Google account, and carrier account
- Parental monitoring tools and the line between safety and surveillance
- Step-by-step privacy settings guides for everyday users
- What to do when you think your phone has been compromised
“Most phone security content is written for experts. I write for the person who got a weird notification and is wondering if something is wrong.”
