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 an
app is 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.
