In this episode of Mobile Unpacked, we’ll explore the full lifecycle of an app: how it gets installed, how to trace its origin, monitor its usage, and uncover what remains even after it's been deleted. Whether you're investigating user behavior or uncovering hidden data, understanding app artifacts is key to unlocking mobile evidence.
