I've found what appears to be a ghost app. I'm not sure. My son is getting secret videos on YouTube. It has enabled micro texting on the front screen of his phone and what appears to be a social app of some kind that is with Google+. The photos that are floating can be made to look like he's doing something wrong and then it will show the actual true photo. This has bothered me . please help me find where to locate this app so I may remove the right one

You mean some kind of spyware?

My son is getting secret videos on YouTube.
What makes them 'secret' if you know they're there? Sorry, bad joke.
I suppose you mean they're supposed to be secret, but you found them.

It has enabled micro texting on the front screen of his phone...
What do you mean 'micro texting'? How is it different from regular texts?

...and what appears to be a social app of some kind that is with Google+
Maybe it is just Google+.

The photos that are floating...
Do you mean being passed around the internet?

...can be made to look like he's doing something wrong and then it will show the actual true photo.
I suppose you mean faked photos, that have been Photoshooped or some other process applied to them

This has bothered me . please help me find where to locate this app so I may remove the right one
It would bother me too. How much it bothered me would depend on what he's doing wrong. Could I - should I - ask what he's doing? Have you talked to him? Does he know you found this stuff? He probably is not gonna be happy you snooped around.

Unfortunately, there is no 'ghost app' capable of doing all this. It very likely is what it is.
