DeepNude apps

Google Play's inappropriate content policy does not allow apps that contain or promote sexual content, and its published examples of violations include apps claiming to undress people. Apple's review guidelines bar overtly sexual material in clause 1.1.4. Anything that does surface briefly under a similar name tends to be an ad carrier or a shell, and tends not to last.

The commercial consequence is simple: a service with no route into a store has no reason to build a native app at all, and every reason to make the browser version work properly on a phone. That is what all six have done. The computing happens on their servers, so an old handset performs exactly as well as a new one, and nothing sits on your device afterwards except the file you chose to download.

1. 01

   A home-screen shortcut

   The “download” page turns out to be an instruction to add the site to your home screen. UndressHer's is exactly that. It is a bookmark with a nice icon, and it changes nothing about the price or the account.

2. 02

   A browser in a wrapper

   A native shell whose only screen is the same web page, usually with a subscription attached that the website itself does not charge. The tell is that it works identically with the app closed.

3. 03

   A file from outside the store

   An installer handed round by strangers, signed with a certificate that leads nowhere: what those permissions actually ask for.

4. 04

   A bot handle in a chat app

   Nothing installed at all, no tariff page, and an account history that outlives every picture sent through it: what a bot keeps on record.

Read the fourth row twice. When a charge has to be disputed, the name on the statement is the one that matters, and a wrapper inserts a party between you and the service whose terms you actually read. That is the whole of the case against icons: not that they are dangerous, but that they add a stranger to a transaction that did not need one.

Nothing to install, nothing to update. All six run in the browser, which is also why an entry-level Android handles them as comfortably as a flagship: the models run on the operator's hardware, not on yours. Battery and storage are irrelevant here, and the only file that lands on the phone is the result you save.

The bill is the website's bill. Undresswith works out at about ₱4 a picture on its ₱1,260 pack, Ainudez at ₱19 on its ₱630 pack, and WaveSpeed between ₱0.30 and ₱8.80 a run depending on the model chosen. A welcome balance covers the first attempt on three of the six: what the free credits cover.

Paying from a phone is where it gets local. Two of the six accept a card at checkout, which is where a GCash or Maya Visa card goes through; no readable payment list in the category names either wallet directly. Everything is billed in US dollars, and BPI adds 1.85% on foreign-currency transactions — the 1% Visa or Mastercard assessment plus 0.85% of its own, so the ₱630 pack reaches the statement at about ₱641. Peso figures here use ₱63 to the dollar.

1. Open the service in your phone's browser. Pick one whose rate you can already read — three of the six print the tariff before the sign-up form, which means the session costs what you expected it to.
2. Add it to the home screen. Both mobile browsers do this from the share or menu button. The result is an icon that opens the same page full-screen, with no address bar and nothing installed.
3. Sign in once and let the browser keep it. An email and a password is the whole of the sign-up on the services that publish their terms; what each one asks for at that point is in where the wall stands.
4. Buy the smallest pack first. Two of the six take a card and the rest settle in cryptocurrency, which cannot be reversed — so the first purchase is also the first thing you could lose. What the original program was, and why none of this descends from it, is in four days in 2019.
