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 an
app is using, uninstall it.
