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.
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.
•Uninstall apps: Tap Apps > Settings > Apps
> ALL, tap an app, then tap Disable or Uninstall in the
top right (if available).
Disable removes the app from your menu—to Enable it, reopen this window and tap Enable (disabled apps are at the bottom of the list).
If an app locks up your smartphone as soon as you turn it on, restart in Safe Mode: Turn off your smartphone, then turn it back on—when you see the “Motorola” logo during power-up, press and hold both volume keys until you see the home screen, with Safe Mode in the lower left. Then, try removing the app.
•Reinstall apps: To reinstall apps from the Google Play™ Store, tap Apps > Play Store > My apps. The apps you downloaded are listed and available for download.
14 Home screen & apps
•Share, show, or clear app details: Tap Apps > Settings > Apps. A bar at the bottom tells you
how much app storage space you have left. At the top, tap the list of DOWNLOADED, RUNNING, or ALL apps, then tap an app in the list to show its details and storage usage. You can tap Share, Clear data or other options.
Tip: To quickly show these app details from your app screen: Just tap and hold an app, drag it to More options at the top of the screen, then tap App info.
•Show app data usage: To show which apps are using
the most data, tap Apps > Settings > Data usage. For more, see “Data use” on page 55.
Use your smartphone or computer to check, download, and install smartphone software updates:
•Using your smartphone:
If your smartphone notifies you about an update, follow the instructions to download and install it.
To manually check for updates, tap Apps
> Settings > About phone > System updates.
Your smartphone downloads updates over your Wi-Fi connection (if available) or mobile network. It is recommended that you download updates when you have a Wi-Fi connection. Remember, these updates can be quite large (25MB or more) and may not be available in all countries. If the mobile network updates are not available in your country, update using a computer.
•Using your computer:
