Downloading apps from the web

You can download apps directly from websites.

§

Apps downloaded from websites can be from unknown sources. To help protect HTC One (E8)
and your personal data, we strongly recommend that you only download from websites you
trust.

§

Before you can install the downloaded app, make sure that you've set HTC One (E8) to allow
installation of third-party apps in Settings > Security > Unknown sources.

1. Open the browser, and then go to the website where you can download the app you want.

2. Follow the website's download instructions for the app.

After installing the app, make sure to go back to Settings > Security and clear the Unknown
sources option.

Uninstalling an app

If you no longer need an app that you've downloaded and installed, you can uninstall it.

Most of the preloaded apps cannot be uninstalled.

From the Apps screen, press and hold the app you want to remove, and then drag it to Uninstall.

If you purchased an app in Play Store, you can uninstall it for a refund within a limited time. To
know more about the refund policy for paid apps, refer to the Google Play help.
