Downloading applications

D D ownloading applications from Google Play™
Google Play™ is the official online Google store for downloading applications,
games, music, movies, and books. It includes both free and paid applications.
Before you start downloading from Google Play, be sure that you have a working
internet connection, preferably over Wi-Fi to limit data traffic charges. For more
information, see Updating your device on page 41.
To use Google Play, you need to have a Google™ account. Google Play may not be available
in all countries or regions.
To download an application from Google Play
1 Find and tap Play Store.
2 Find an item you wish to download by browsing categories, or by using the
search function.
3 Tap the item to view its details. Follow the on-screen instructions to
complete the installation.
Some applications may need to access data, settings, and various functions on your device
in order to work properly. Only install and give permissions to applications that you trust.
You can view the permissions granted to a downloaded application under Settings > Apps.

Downloading Applications from Other Sources

When your device is set to allow downloads from sources other than Google
Play™, you can download applications directly from other websites by following
the relevant download instructions.
Installing applications of unknown or unreliable origin can damage your device. Download
applications only from reliable sources. Contact the application provider if you have any
questions or concerns.
If you are using a device with multiple users, only the owner, that is, the primary user, can
allow downloads from sources other than Google Play™. Changes made by the owner
affect all other users.
To enable or disable the downloading of applications from other sources
1 Find and tap Settings > Lock screen & security.
2 Tap the Unknown sources slider to enable or disable.
