Apps from the web
You can get apps from other online app stores using your
browser.
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, swipe up
> Settings > Security, then tap the
Unknown sources switch to turn it on.
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 an
app is using, uninstall it.
