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, such as the Google Play™ Store.
•
In the Google Play, 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 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
children's 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
