tap Apps >

For information about downloading files from your browser,
see “

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.
Set app permissions
You will only be asked for permissions when you use a
feature in an app, instead of all at once when you install the
app.
To modify the app permissions settings at any time, tap
Apps >
Settings
