Tip:

Choose carefully

Here are a few tips:

•

To help prevent spyware, phishing, or viruses, use apps

from trusted sites, like Google Play.

•

In 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 it’s

using, uninstall it.

•

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

personal health.
