Apps from the web

Tip : choose your apps and updates carefully, as some may
impact your phone's performance — see "Choose carefully".
Note: when installing an app, make sure you read the alerts that
tell you what information the app will access. If you don't want
the app to access this information, cancel the installation.
To let your phone install apps that are not on Google Play, tap
Apps > Settings > Security and tick Unknown sources.
For information about downloading files from your browser,
see "Downloads".
Choose carefully
Here are a few tips:
• To help prevent spyware, phishing or viruses, use apps from
trusted sites, such as 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.
