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
sites, like the Google Play Store app.
• In the Google Play Store app, check the app's 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
Settings Security
> and check
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.
• Certain apps may not provide completely accurate
information. Take care, especially when it comes to
personal health.
