Choose carefully
Apps are great. There's something for everyone. Play,
communicate, work, or have fun. But remember, choose
your apps carefully. Here are a few tips:
•
To help prevent spyware, phishing, or viruses from
affecting your phone or privacy, use apps from trusted
Market
sites, like
Market
•
In
, check the apps' ratings and comments
before installing.
•
If you doubt the safety of an app, don't install it.
•
Like all apps, downloaded apps will use up memory,
data, battery, and processing power—some more
than others. For example, a simple battery level
widget will use less than a streaming music player
app. After installing an app, if you're not happy with
how much memory, data, battery or processing
power it's using, uninstall it. You can always install it
again later.
•
Just like web browsing, you may want to monitor
childrens' access to apps to help prevent exposure to
inappropriate content.
