A lawsuit filed against Temu claims the company’s app “gains access to literally everything on your phone.” So you might want to be careful with Temu.

The class action lawsuit -- filed on behalf of more than a dozen plaintiffs in Massachusetts, California, Illinois, New York, and Virginia – accuses Temu of “purposely and intentionally” hiding malware and spyware in its app, as well as “deceiving” customers about how the company uses their data.

According to Fox News 4, the complaint also alleges that the online marketplace is "dangerous" because it avoids phone security systems to read a user’s private messages and can track notifications.

Officials with the Chinese company, which has been in business since September 2022, have not yet reacted to the suit.

What problems have you had with Temu? My wife has used it on several occasions. So far so good. But you never know what it is doing internally to steal your information. So you might want to think twice before using the site.

Astrologer Says These Zodiac Signs Never Charge Their Phones

Apparently, a person can be bad at charging their phone because of their zodiac sign. Recently, an astrologer shared with Bustle that there are signs that always have their phone at 20 percent. Michelle Bell, the founder of the astrology app Cosmic Fusion, pointed out which zodiac signs are most likely to utter the words, "Can we use your phone? Mine is about to die," during a night out.

The zodiac is divided into twelve signs including Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces. Your zodiac sign is based on your birthday. However, when it comes to astrology, there is more to your zodiac than just your birthday. For instance, there are element associations, as well as the moon or rising signs, and others.

The ancient Babylonians created the zodiac with each of its 12 sections named after the largest constellation it contained. They observed that the movement of planets, called transits, corresponded with both future events and misfortunes on Earth.

According to The Good Trade, astrology highlights your strengths and weaknesses and offers information about things like love, career, family life, and life purpose.

Some zodiac signs are either too busy or too preoccupied to plug in their phones at night. You could be one of the three signs who never charges their phone.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21)

Sagittarius' "carefree and optimistic approach to life" can make it easy for the sign to forget to plug in their phone at the end of the day. "They’re too busy traversing the universe to think about charging their phone," says Bell.
