Nowadays, from ordering food to booking a taxi, there are mobile apps for almost every task. If we talk only about Google and Apple’s app stores, there are lakhs of apps available on them. With a few taps and pressing the install command, these apps get installed on the mobile. However, as simple as this work is, it can also be dangerous. Therefore, many things should always be kept in mind while downloading the app.
Always download apps from trusted sources
Considering the speed at which cyber crimes are increasing these days, there is a need to be careful while downloading and using apps. To avoid cyber fraud, always download apps from trusted sources only. There is always a risk in downloading apps from third parties or suspicious links. Malicious files can also be downloaded along with the app from such places, which can cause great harm.
Keep an eye on app permissions
After downloading an app, always keep in mind how many permissions it requires. Apps need some permissions for their function, but if any app asks for additional permissions then one needs to be careful. Do not give unnecessary permissions to any app. This will keep your data safe.
Must see user review
Before downloading a new app, definitely check its user reviews. These reviews can be easily seen on Play Store or App Store. If an app has received a lot of negative reviews, there may be a problem in its design, functioning or data management. Therefore, always decide whether to download the app or not by looking at the review.
Keep an eye on the performance of the phone
After downloading a new app, keep an eye on the performance of your phone. If after downloading the app, the speed of the phone becomes slow, advertisements start appearing again and again or the battery discharges faster than before, then it can be an alarm bell. These are indications that some malware has come with the app on the phone. Therefore, uninstall the concerned app immediately.
