Battery life
Your phone is like a small computer that processes tons of
information and apps at lightning-fast speed. Depending on
what you use, that can take a lot of power.
When your phone is stationary, not charging or not in use for
a period of time, unnecessary background processes are
shut down to optimise battery life.

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 it’s
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.
