The advancement of technology has been beneficial to private investigators because,while they do not necessarily need high-tech devices to function, it does help them work more efficiently.Before, private investigators are used to doing the necessary legwork for surveillance and burning through heaps of papers for research. But these changed with the advent of the internet because of the availability of useful information at the click of a button.

Now, there are also smartphone apps that offer assistance in investigations, surveillance, and stakeouts.Below are some of the best apps for private investigators:
Vault: Private investigators need to ensure that files, such as photos, videos, documents, and receipts, are kept private and are well-secured. Vault allows users to encrypt data and set a password to ensure their confidentiality. It also carries an option for capturing the photo of a person that attempts to access the app without authorization.
IRBmobile: IRBmobile allows private investigators to run background searches on persons of interest. One of the better features of this app is that not all users can use it; private investigators are required to apply and be accredited by the app developers.

Burner: Instead of owning a second phone, private investigators can use the Burner app to create multiple temporary phone numbers that they could use to contact other people or to give out. Once they have no more need for these numbers, these could just be “burned” or disposed of.
