Apps from the web You can get apps from online app stores using your browser. Tip: Choose your apps and updates carefully, as some may impact your smartphone's performance-see "Choose carefully". To let your smartphone install apps that are not from Google Play, tap Apps > Settings > Security & Screen Lock and check Unknown sources. To download files from your browser, see "Downloads". 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 smartphone or privacy, use apps from trusted sites, like the Google Play™ Store. • In the Google Play Store, 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 personal health. Take Care of your apps To show the app screen, from your home screen tap Apps , then swipe left to scroll through apps. To close the apps screen, tap Home or Back . • Favorites: To show your favorite apps, tap at the top of the screen. Then tap ADD/REMOVE to edit your favorite apps. Tip: Apps you download are added to your favorites.
