Here are a few tips:
» To help prevent spyware, phishing, or viruses, use apps from trusted sites, like the Google Play.
» Check the app's ratings and comments before installing. If you doubt the safety of an app, don't
install it.
» Apps use up memory, data, battery, and processing power—some more than others. If you're not
happy with how much memory, data, battery or processing power an app is using, uninstall it.
