Emulators and virtual phones
One server can run hundreds of virtual phones. Each one shows up in your analytics as a fresh install.
Bots now run on real phones, inside real apps
Is a bot tapping through your app right now?
Emulators, phone farms and scripted tools now drive mobile apps the way people do. They sign in, claim the offer and check out. To your app, they look like customers.
SimulationOne phone · one script
A script signs in, claims the offer and checks out in about three seconds, then starts again with a new account. Your login checks see an ordinary device.
The threat
Every tap looks the same to your app
Automation has moved from the browser onto the phone. These are the four ways it shows up inside mobile apps.
Phone farms
Racks of real phones with real SIM cards run the same script on every device, around the clock.
Scripted automation
Tools such as Appium and Frida tap the screen or hook into the app in place of a person.
Rooted and tampered devices
A modified operating system can hide the automation and tell your app what it expects to hear.
